WYCKOFF CHRISTIAN PRESCHOOL

What WYCKOFF CHRISTIAN PRESCHOOL does

Wyckoff Christian Preschool & Kindergarten is a nonprofit early childhood education provider founded in 1995 as a ministry of Cornerstone Christian Church and operated from a single campus at 485 Wyckoff Ave., Wyckoff, New Jersey. The school serves children ages 2½ to 5 through four core morning programs (Pre-K 2½, Pre-K 3, Pre-K 4, and Transitional Kindergarten) that run from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, September through early June, in seven classrooms with indoor and outdoor play areas. The program stack is extended by a layer of add-on modules: Before Care (7:30 AM start), Lunch Bunch, Extended Play, Afternoon Fun Enrichment (Pre-K 2½ and 3), Little Scholars Enrichment with STEM themes (Pre-K 4 and TK), and After Care (until 4:00 PM), as well as the Sonday phonics/reading readiness program and a seasonal Outdoor Adventure Camp.

The curriculum is Christ-centered and whole-child oriented, supported by experienced teaching staff including Director Julie Carpenter (M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education) and Head Teacher Rachel DeBlock (23 years classroom experience). Approximately 13 staff serve the operation across director, head teacher, classroom teachers, and assistant roles. The school holds an active license from the New Jersey Department of Children and Families and is in full regulatory compliance. Partner specialists (a Speech Pathologist and an Occupational Therapist) provide screening services and teacher professional development, including sensory-friendly classroom training.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual tuition subscriptions, with published pricing ranging from $2,029 to $5,928 per year depending on program and days per week, plus registration fees ($90 base, up to ~$640 for the highest tier) and modest ancillary revenue from $45 speech screenings. Discounts are offered for church members/pastors/missionaries (15%), siblings (10% per additional child), and military families (10%). Go-to-market is community-led: enrollment flows through Cornerstone Christian Church referrals, an annual January open house, word-of-mouth, the school's website (with direct online application and 48-hour Director follow-up), and organic social channels. There is no digital product distribution, no third-party reseller channel, and no geographic expansion beyond Wyckoff, NJ.
