Warren Temple Opening New Preschool Program

, the premier Jewish early childhood center in Somerset County, is pleased to introduce a new program this September called Morning Break.

Morning Break, which is open to the entire community, is a drop-off playgroup that offers structured care for up to two-hour sessions at a reasonable cost. It is located in the Mountain Top School for Young Children facility at Temple Har Shalom in Warren. Sessions are available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon, starting Sept. 10.

“Morning Break offers a child care solution for parents who are juggling the unique joys and challenges of being a mom, dad or caregiver,” said Kathy Sang, director. “Parents will now have theluxury of running errands or attending appointments—without the stress of trying to find a babysitter.”

Interested parents can call Mountain Top School to make a reservation for their child in advance or simply walk in when the service is needed. Parents will feel comfort in knowing their children are in a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment. Children will benefit from the social interaction with other children while enjoying structured playtime.

Interested parents can call Kathy Sang, at 732-748-9800 for more information or to schedule a personal tour.
