Curious Kids runs an eight-week themed summer camp for children ages 2 to 5, with a new theme each week such as outer space, mysteries, dragons, or superheroes. Days mix art, music, science experiments, and dance with early-learning skills including writing, pre-math, fine and gross motor development, self-regulation, and social-emotional growth. It is a half-day program: families choose a 2-hour option at $200/week or a 4-hour option at $400/week, with small class sizes and a stated "Maslow before Bloom" approach that addresses developmental needs before academics.

★★★★★Shelly YuskoBoth of my kids did the mommy and me mess makers/little scientist classes from 18 months - 2.5 years old. They also both just attended the drop-off summer camp and had the best time. So grateful they were able to have the experience. Kerri and Peggie are incredible and structure their programs in a way that is the perfect balance of exploration/fun and structure - which is critical for this age. Highly recommend!
★★★★★E-J FThe best pre school EVER! Kids absolutely adore Ms Peggie, Ms Kerri and their team! We were so lucky to find this absolute gem mid-pandemic and wished we didn’t move away mid-year, but so excited to learn that Curious Kids is expanding to Millburn. I always said, I wished they went up to 18 years old! Incredibly intentional teachers that know how to grow curious and kind children. An amazing place for children to thrive socially and emotionally along with their age appropriate curriculum, which sets children up wonderfully for Kindergarten. Eternally grateful for Curious Kids!
★★★★★David Harris SandlerOur son is having a fantastic experience at the toddler program at Curious Kids. Peggie and Kerri have done an extraordinary job creating a warm, supportive, and stimulating environment for his young mind. With small class sizes and fantastic student/teacher ratios the students have an opportunity to explore the surrounding world through creative experiences. He begins every class with a smile on his face and returns home having learned new words and concepts, proudly displaying his newest craft project. We couldn't recommend this class more highly!
★★★★★Robert KirbyMy daughter, almost 6, has been attending classes at Curious Kids since she was two, she has gone to their small scientists and mess makers toddler and me classes, pre-k prep and summer camp. Everyone at Curious Kids has helped instill a true love of learning in my daughter about all subjects. I would recommend any of Peggie and Kerri’s programs to parents looking to nurture their child’s curiosity about the world.
★★★★★Natasha DMy daughter took several sessions of Mess Makers and Small Scientists classes at Curious Kids, and also a preschool workshop. Wonderful classes with wonderful teachers. Not only is the hour filled with fun activities but also she learnt quite a few things. She would talk a lot about the stuff she learnt, Miss Peggie and Miss Kerri and the art/craft item she brought home after class. Both me and my daughter miss going to classes, now that she has outgrown them. I highly recommend Curious Kids - if you are looking for classes for your child in a warm and friendly environment, this is it.
