Holmdel Preschool: Proudly Grow NJ Kids Rated!
What is Grow NJ Kids?
Grow NJ Kids is New Jersey’s voluntary, statewide Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) for early childhood programs. It evaluates preschools on:
- Learning environment quality
- Teacher qualifications & training
- Health, safety & family engagement
- Curriculum and developmental goals
Programs are assessed by independent raters using a research-based tool and can earn stars based on how well they meet rigorous, evidence-based standards.
