MILLBURN, NJ - Applications are being accepted for the Millburn Township Public Schools Integrated Preschool Program.

A general Preschool Curriculum is followed for all students, according to officials.

The Millburn Township Public Schools’ Preschool Integrated Program is located at the South Mountain Elementary School, 2 Southern Slope Drive, Millburn and has been serving the community since 1993.

All preschool sessions are two and one-half hour classes, Monday through Friday.
