Welcome to Pee Wee Prep
For over 40 years, Pee Wee Prep has proudly enriched the lives of families in Hudson County, New Jersey by providing a safe, supportive and nurturing environment for early learners.
Our center prioritizes the wellbeing of the children and families in our community, with qualified and attentive staff members, small class sizes, and an engaging, research-based curriculum to ensure students have the care and education they need to prepare for grammar school and beyond.
Our Program
Pee Wee Prep offers care from ages 6 weeks to 13 years of age. Full time care is available Monday through Friday, 7am to 6pm (excluding holidays and emergency closures).
We also work with a variety of programs throughout the State of New Jersey to ensure the families we work with have access to the best possible child care resources and support services available.

Grow NJ Kids is New Jersey's Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) for early childhood education, designed to help parents find high-quality child care and support providers in improving their programs.
As a national effort to create a system that encourages ongoing improvement for centers, Grow NJ Kids provides families with an objective rating system. Based on the findings of a preliminary assessment, trained professionals work with the program staff to address areas needing improvement, before a trained rater assigns a star rating for the center based on their findings.
​
Having participated in Grow NJ Kids since 2023, Pee Wee Prep proudly holds a 4 star rating at our Bayonne location. We look forward to a continued partnership with the program to continuously improve our program for the students and families we serve, as well as our staff and community throughout Hudson County.​​​
Pee Wee Prep works with The Urban League of Hudson County (ULOHC), a non-profit organization that empowers residents and improves the quality of life for urban communities in the region since 1972. For more information, please visit Urban League's website at www.ulohc.org.
