Our pre-school facility offers quality day care and night care to families in the greater Atlantic County area. Our hours of operation... 7:00 am until 12 midnight, 7 days a week, all year round ...are designed to accommodate working families. The Center had its humble beginnings in 1990 when public school teacher, Idella Barnes, recognized the need for quality care to give children a strong headstart. She opened the facility as the Adventure Learning Center along with her son, Robert L. Barnes, Jr. and prepared a curriculum to promote the joy of learning. They were later joined by NJ State Certified Head Teacher, Heather Friel, who now coordinates the curriculum across the entire Center.
