Respond, Inc. child care programs offer the parents and children of Camden City and County high-quality care for children, infants, toddlers, and preschool ages as well as school-aged for Summer Camp. Facilities are located throughout Camden City. Respond Child Care Centers open daily from 7:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. with breakfast, lunch, and a nutritious snack provided each day, following the sound nutritional guidelines of the Child Care Food Program and Respond’s initiatives that ensure healthy eating for all of our children.

 In each center, qualified and conscientious staff members provide children and their parents with a strong educational foundation, as well as health, nutrition, social, and community services.  Respond’s Infant programs meet the needs of newborns to 2½ year-olds in settings that provide both love and developmentally appropriate activities.

In Responds developmental preschool programs, an early childhood curriculum helps children acquire thinking skills.  Language development, cognitive growth, creativity through the arts, movement, and music are integral parts of the daily curriculum. Trips to museums and live performances enhance children’s skill development in many areas.

A Summer Enrichment Day Camp for ages K– 12 is available at our Pyne Poynt Center when schools close for the summer months.

Since 1999, Respond has been a provider of 3 and 4-year-old classrooms for the Camden City School District under the State of New Jersey Abbott District mandate for preschool education. These pre-kindergarten classrooms are provided at no cost to parents during school day hours at five of our Camden city child care centers, with an open enrollment of age-eligible children.  To defray the costs of child care services, fees are based upon family size and income for those who qualify for subsidized care.  Private slots are also open for parents who may not qualify for subsidized care. Families with the Department of Children’s Services programs are welcomed! (WFNJ/NJCK/DCP&P/KINSHIP)
