Cherry Hill Pre-School

The school, opened in 1987 by owner Cheryl Lee Curcio, is a one-room school house. Its small size, and thus small classes, allows for more personal attention to be paid to its young students. The curriculum deals with building a child's motor and readiness skills without the assistance of computers or electronic devices. The school also focuses on building a child's social skills within peer groups while meeting pre-kindergarten criteria. There is free, on-street parking in this residential location.
