Alphabets Preschool Center

Alphabets Preschool Center has been providing high-quality early childhood education in Asbury Park for over 37 years. Esther Piekarski, the founder and owner, is dedicated to the total development of each child, focusing on the growth of the whole child. At Alphabets, we do not adhere strictly to one philosophy of education. Instead, we select the best practices from early childhood researchers and tailor them to the individual needs of each child. This personalized approach allows us to create a learning environment that is both stimulating and enjoyable for every child, fostering optimal growth in social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.

Our mission is to provide a safe, healthy, loving, and stimulating environment for Asbury Park children aged 3 to 5 years old, promoting optimal growth in all areas of development and instilling a love of learning through family involvement and the use of an age-appropriate curriculum. We believe that learning should be a pleasant and happy experience for children. We offer them freedom of movement, choice, and the exercise of their own judgement within a structured and carefully prepared environment, supervised by caring and knowledgeable professionals.

Our Services

At Alphabets Preschool Center, we take pride in offering a variety of services that cater to the diverse needs of our families. Our services include:

1. Free Preschool Programs: As a member of the Asbury Park Early Childhood Consortium, we are delighted to provide free preschool programs to residents of Asbury Park. Our experienced and qualified staff create a welcoming environment where children can experience the excitement of learning.

2. Individualized Curriculum: Our curriculum is designed to meet the needs of each child. We start from where your child is and guide them towards materials and experiences that enhance growth in all areas of development. We chart their development and growth through their stages of learning without grading or comparing them on any scale.

3. Structured Environment: We offer a structured and carefully prepared environment that allows children to move, choose, and exercise their own judgement. This structure is supervised by caring and knowledgeable professionals who facilitate learning and growth.

4. Family Involvement: We believe in the importance of family involvement in a child's education. We promote this involvement through regular communication, events, and the use of an age-appropriate curriculum that addresses your child's individual needs.

5. Holistic Approach: At Alphabets, we focus on the growth of the whole child. We do not mold the child to a philosophy of education; instead, we choose what works best with your individual child to ensure optimum growth at this critical stage of life.

We strive to create an environment that is safe, healthy, loving, and stimulating, where children can learn and grow at their own pace.
