Founded by two Jersey City moms with a passion for quality early education.
Park View Academy was founded by Yeon Benkovitz and Diane Branco, two Jersey City moms who saw the need for a warm, nurturing, community-centered daycare in their neighborhood.
Their vision was simple: create a space where children feel loved, safe, and inspired to learn. Today, Park View Academy serves families across Downtown Jersey City with a bilingual, play-based program that prepares children for a lifetime of learning.
Schedule A TourWe use the HighScope Curriculum, a research-based, play-centered approach to early childhood education. HighScope has been proven to deliver lasting benefits for children, including stronger academic performance and social-emotional skills.
At the heart of HighScope is active participatory learning. Children learn by doing: planning activities, carrying them out, and reflecting on what they've learned. Teachers serve as partners in learning, supporting children's natural curiosity and creativity.
We show up, follow through, and can be counted on by our children, families, and coworkers.
We are present, proactive, and involved, whether we are interacting with a child, collaborating as a team, or communicating with families.
We do what is right, even when no one is watching.
We lead with authenticity, kindness, and sincerity.
We embrace learning and continuous improvement for our children, our team, and ourselves.
At Park View Academy, we believe in partnering with parents to cultivate a lifelong love of learning. Our dedicated team of highly experienced educators provide a rich learning environment, where each and every child is lovingly encouraged to blossom. We welcome your family to come grow with us!
