Weekday Nursery School

At the Weekday Preschool (formerly the Weekday Nursery School) we prepare children to live Christian lives and succeed academically. This is done through a Christian perspective by relaying that we are all Gods children and we should share his love with those in the classroom, community and beyond. This is conveyed everyday through teachings in the classroom, as well as participation in many different mission based projects throughout the school year.

We are a non-denominational Christian program and All are welcome here. We encourage parent participation and have an open door policy in this regard. Being we are located within walking distance to downtown Pitman, NJ, this allows us to expand our program with walking field trips to the center of town such as the library, bakery, florist and more. In addition, the children have a safe off street place to play on our secured, fenced in playground. We offer affordable tuition which includes field trips and a t-shirt and scholarships are available. Visits are encouraged and applications are available online at www.pitmanpres.org or by calling our director, Susan Varallo at 589-5021.
