Open Enrollment: Head Start and Early Head Start

Acelero Learning is now accepting applications for the 20-21 school year at educational centers in Monmouth/Middlesex counties

Acelero Learning Head Start is currently holding open enrollment for our free pre-school program in the 2020-21 school year. Qualifying families must meet eligibility requirements and have a child who is three, four or five years old who missed the cut off date for kindergarten in their district.

Centers are located in: Freehold, Neptune, Red Bank and Asbury Park (Monmouth County) as well as South Amboy, Carteret, New Brunswick, North Brunswick, and Perth Amboy (Middlesex County). Acelero Learning is a free, full-day, year-round program. We also have Extended Day services for before and after school care, geared towards working families. The program uses an early education curriculum to ensure the appropriate development for kids at this age. In addition, a family curriculum called “Shine On, Families” is used to replicate learning in the home via positive interactions and activities between parents and children. There are openings right now in all centers for the 20-21 school year.

Acelero Learning believes that all children, regardless of the economic conditions of the family, can meet their development goals and have a successful future. Since 2001, the company has been transforming learning for early childhood ages via the Head Start and Early Head Start programs. Acelero Learning serves more than 5,000 kids in 44 education centers across four states.
