At Hooks Lane School we have two classes. Our Junior Class is our Nursery class and our Seniors are Pre-Kindergarten.
Our children grow through a hands on curriculum of music, movement, art, literature, math, science and language arts, as well as, activities for emotional, social and motor skills.
All curriculum is planned and supervised by NJ certified teachers and assistant teachers who have had many years of experience in the early childhood field.

We are licensed by the NJ Department of Children and Families in the Department of Human Services and are inspected by the Borough of Fort Lee for health and fire safety. All certificates are current and in good standing.
