Description: RSA was founded by two women who wanted to create a preschool program in which there is room for structured learning time as well as lots of play and socializing time, where children come in with joy and excitement; where the school works together with the families for the future of the child; where the teachers love coming in every morning and are excited about their day and what they teach; where the environment is open and positive. It was imperative to us to create a preschool that had a stable staff situation and mature and dedicated teachers.
We are a school where fun and learning intermingle, where we respect the child as an individual and take care of the whole child.
RSA is an educational year round program for children 2.5-6 years old. We incorporate structured time and playtime daily. We believe all children need both, in order to thrive and grow into well balanced human beings.
Rising Stars Academy provides a safe and healthy environment, fresh air playground, where children of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds can work, learn and play in harmony and peace. Our nurturing staff helps children to develop independence, self discipline, self respect, respect for others and respect for the environment. We help children aquire an excitement and love for learning.
In order to help families we offer an optional, healthy lunch and snack program 5 days of the week.
We understand and respect the many needs and demands on today's families.
Our student/teacher ratio is well below what licensing requires. This allows us to give each child very specific individual attention.
We are a NJ licensed, nut free, green environment practicing preschool.

Teachers are overly strict on the children. Definitely a great learning experience. Directors are never there and the place seems really filthy! Overall good place for kids to learn but not really the best idea if you have saftey first in mind.
