Mendham Township Elementary School provides a comprehensive early childhood education program, in partnership with families, to help children prepare for a successful school career. Early childhood education improves the emotional, social and physical development of young children. Our high quality, developmentally appropriate programs positively affect children’s cognitive abilities and social development.
The early childhood program offers a Pre-Kindergarten Program for three and four-year-old children.
