H arborview Child Care Center opened its doors in 1998.  The Center is a co-sponsored program between the Metuchen Edison Woodbridge South Amboy YMCA and The First Presbyterian Church of Perth Amboy. We are open Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm.  The Center operates from September through August for children 21 months to 5 years of age. Harborview Child Care Center is under contract with the Perth Amboy School District and the State of New Jersey to provide preschool services to all 3 and 4 year old residents of Perth Amboy. There are four rooms in operation with the present capacity to serve 60 children per day. Harborview Child Care Center earned NAEYC accreditation in April, 2011.

Programs: The children are grouped by three different ages: 2’s, 3's and 4’s.  Each group is situated in separate areas of the Center where specialized programs have been designed based upon the needs of each specific age group.

In Y child care programs, every child is treated as an individual, learning through hands on activities in an age appropriate environment. We provide opportunities for self expression through social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language development, while stimulating young minds to bring greater understanding, awareness and curiosity.  Our center utilizes Creative Curriculum to create purposeful and productive experiences that help children grow in all areas of development and the CATCH program to incorporate healthy habits of physical fitness and good nutritional choices, as part of our programs..  Contact the Center Director  Rita MacNeill for more info.
