Offering the Best Programs in Early Childhood Education

The programs at Carousel of Learning, Early Learning Center & Child Care in Parsippany, New Jersey are specifically designed for early childhood education. The activities and curriculum are age-appropriate, in order to develop the skills children need, through a hands-on, multi-sensory approach. 


One of the many unique qualities at Carousel of Learning, is that our teachers are trained to also spend time observing the interests of the children and to plan in-depth studies based on those interests. When children are allowed to take some control over their learning, they become immersed and deeply engaged in the process! In this approach, the teachers are seen as educational Guides and learning facilitators, who research and learn alongside the children. They observe, assist, question, and offer challenges.
