On Thursday December 7th, our Executive Director, Carol Presley, was joined by Plainfield Mayor Adrian O. Mapp, Superintendent Dr. Caryn D. Cooper, and Dean of the Union County College Plainfield Campus Victoria Ukachukwu for a tour and holiday toy drive to commemorate the opening of our new site. The new center, located at 33 Westervelt Avenue in Plainfield, features 8 state-of-the-art preschool classrooms.
This location meets the increasing demand for affordable childcare by allowing us to accommodate 30 additional children raising Neighborhood House’s total enrollment to 320. We’re also thrilled to have provided 7 new employment opportunities for city residents. The new center features a recreation room for teacher trainings, meeting rooms, and an indoor play space. Each class has its own restroom and water fountain for the children.
