The mission of Mountainside Children’s Center is to meet the child care needs of working families. We believe Mountainside is a place where children are loved and care for: not just taken care of. As a staff, our desire is to reach the heart and mind of each child, providing them with a solid foundation for future learning by enhancing their social, fine/gross motor and cognitive skills and by promoting and modeling values such as love, respect, honesty, and kindness. We honor religious preferences and respect individual beliefs.
