The Children's Learning Center was established in spring 1982 as a retention tool for undergraduate students. Open five days a week, the center accommodated children of Jersey City State College undergraduates. The center provided child care services to approximately 45 children between the ages of 2 ½ and 6 years each semester. The staff was comprised of a full-time director, one full-time teacher, and a part-time graduate assistant.
Fully licensed by the State of New Jersey, the center remains true to its mission as a retention tool. Although the location of the center remains the same, the Children's Learning Center has expanded the services it provides to the NJCU community. The center is currently open 6 days per week, 11 months a year to undergraduate and graduate students, employees, and alumni of New Jersey City University. Each semester the Children's Learning Center provides services to approximately 100 children and serves as a training site for nearly 60 students. The staff is now comprised of one full-time director, three full-time teachers, one part-time teacher, one administrative assistant, graduate assistants, work-study students, volunteers, and student teachers.
