Bound Brook Public Schools offers free, full-day preschool for Bound Brook residents. Our Pre-K program serves both 3-year-old and 4-year-old students, with classes operating on a full-day schedule in alignment with the Bound Brook Public Schools calendar. Preschool classes are held at LaMonte School and LaMonte Annex.

Eligibility is based on a child’s age as of October 1st of the school year. Students must be 3 or 4 years old on or before October 1st to enroll in the program. All students MUST reside in Bound Brook, NJ to maintain enrollment in our program.

Bound Brook Preschool Curriculum - Connect 4 Learning

The Bound Brook Preschool implements Kaplan’s Connect4Learning (C4L) curriculum, a NJDOE state-approved comprehensive program aligned with the New Jersey Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards. C4L is a research-based, interdisciplinary curriculum rooted in literacy, mathematics, science, and social-emotional learning.

The curriculum is carefully designed to promote children’s cognitive development through developmentally appropriate and engaging lessons and activities. C4L incorporates project-based learning and high-interest learning centers that extend children’s understanding in key areas such as social-emotional skills, science, literacy, and mathematics.

The overall goal is to help children develop big ideas, essential knowledge, and foundational skills in these areas, setting the stage for future learning and success. See the following links to learn more:

Early Childhood Advisory Committee (ECAC)

The Early Childhood Advisory Committee (ECAC) is responsible for reviewing the implementation of preschool programs and strengthening relationships between families, schools, community stakeholders, and health agencies. The ECAC actively participates in assessing community needs, resources, and facilities to support the delivery of high-quality preschool services.

The ECAC also plays a key role in ensuring smooth transitions—both into the preschool program and from preschool into kindergarten. We encourage equal parental representation from each PreK location within the district to ensure diverse perspectives and meaningful collaboration.

Participation in this committee is voluntary but essential in fostering the growth and success of all preschoolers in our district.

Interested in joining the Early Childhood Advisory Committee? Please email Dr. Hipolita Sicagnano-Hernandez, at hsicagnano@bbrook.k12.nj.us.
