Evergreen Academy is an affordable early childhood education center located in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, dedicated to providing developmentally appropriate learning opportunities for children to grow and thrive.

We support the development of each child’s language, physical, cognitive, emotional, and social skills in a safe, engaging environment that is both nurturing and challenging. While we encourage curiosity and independence, we also strive to maintain a home-like atmosphere filled with warmth, care, and support.

Evergreen Academy is dedicated to ensuring that a child’s first steps into the world of education are filled with joy, laughter, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. We aim to create strong building blocks that inspire a passion for learning, exploration, and personal growth.

At Evergreen Academy, committed early childhood professionals work together to educate the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually—laying the foundation for lifelong success.

We implement the HighScope Curriculum, a play-based, hands-on approach that emphasizes active learning, creativity, and exploration for children 18 months through 6 years of age.

We believe children develop in an orderly and predictable manner as they progress through stages of physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth. To support this development, we provide enriching experiences across multiple learning areas, including:

• Dramatic play
• Early math concepts
• Art and creative expression
• Science exploration
• Music and movement
• Language development
• Pre-reading and pre-writing skills

Verbal skills are nurtured through group discussions, one-on-one conversations, and peer interaction. Teachers actively engage children by asking thoughtful questions that spark curiosity and encourage exploration. These interactions help children develop strong communication and critical-thinking skills that support future learning.

Children are gently guided to practice sharing, cooperation, and positive interaction with peers and teachers in their daily routines. Through play and group activities, children learn to express their feelings, follow simple expectations, and develop early social skills in a supportive environment.

Our teachers focus on nurturing each child’s confidence and sense of security. When children feel safe and valued, they are better prepared to explore, learn, and transition comfortably into new classroom experiences.
