Director's Welcome,
For over 50 years, St. Andrew's has welcomed children from 2-1/2 to 6 years in our preschool and full day kindergarten programs. We put children first to ensure our students grow as learners in a developmentally appropriate setting. St. Andrew's faculty brings a wealth of expertise in early childhood education ensuring that each child is engaged and challenged. Our inclusive community fosters respect and an understanding of our wide cultural commonalities.
Sincerely,
Christina Olson
School Director
“Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.”

Our Philosophy
St. Andrew's encourages children to develop a positive self-image, confidence and innate love of learning. We nurture a child's natural curiosity and help connect classroom learning to the world in which we live. Our child-centered programs respect what we as educators know to be developmentally age-appropriate.
Children of all religious faiths are welcome, and throughout the year, they are exposed to a variety of traditions and cultures.
Religious instruction is not a part of the curriculum.
Our History

St. Andrew's serves children from Union, Morris, and Somerset counties, including the surrounding communities of New Providence, Berkeley Heights, Chatham, Summit, Madison, Scotch Plains, Warren and Watchung. All are welcome.
