About Us

37 Years of High Quality Early Childhood Education

Alphabets has been owned and operated by Esther Piekarski since it’s founding in 1983.

Alphabets Preschool Center is dedicated to the total development of your child. We are working towards the growth of the WHOLE child. No ONE philosophy is followed exclusively. We take our best practices from early childhood researchers. We do not mold the child to a philosophy of education; we choose instead what works best with your individual child, so that he/she may experience optimum growth at this extremely important stage of life.

At Alphabets, the child is the curriculum. We start from where your child is, and we guide him/her towards materials and experiences which will enhance growth in all areas of development: social, emotional, cognitive, and physical. We do not “grade” or compare children on any scale, but we do chart their development and growth through their stages of learning.

Learning is a pleasant and happy experience for children at Alphabets. They are allowed much freedom to move, to choose, and to exercise using their own judgement within a structured and carefully prepared environment, supervised by caring and knowledgeable professionals.

Our Mission Statement:

Alphabets Preschool Center is dedicated to providing a safe, healthy, loving, and stimulating environment for Asbury Park children 3 to 5 years old to experience optimal growth in all areas of development; and to promoting a love of learning through family involvement and the use of an age appropriate curriculum that addressed your child’s individual needs.
