Wednesday, April 6th was a very special day at Saint Thomas the Apostle School in Old Bridge, New Jersey.

Our distinguished Mayor, Mr. Owen Henry, presented our school with a proclamation, honoring our early childhood educators.   It has been a very special week celebrating (NAEYC) the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s, Week of the Young Child .

The Week of the Young Child is a time to recognize that children’s opportunities and their futures are our responsibility. We must ensure that each and every child experiences the type of environment that will nurture their early learning.  This week promotes the needs of young children in our community and the early childhood programs that serve them.

Together our goal is to nurture a more diverse and inclusive generation of young children who will thrive through their experiences of learning opportunities in our early learning programs in partnership with our educators and their families!

We, at Saint Thomas the Apostle School, celebrate our teachers and aides in Preschool 3 and 4 and Kindergarten.  We support their commitment, and we value the essential and demanding role they play in early childhood education!

As our children grow, they learn together, work together and build together for a stronger, brighter and more successful future!
