THE R CHILD started in a small studio in Cliffside Park NJ in 2016. Its foundations are rooted in a passion for children, a love of continuous and life-long education, and a belief that learning should be fun!
Our founder, Mrs. Elena Melamed, is a classically trained musician who earned a master’s degree from the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory. She enjoyed a successful career of musical performance and teaching for more than 12 years. Over time, her love of teaching grew beyond music and made her look into STEAM education – pioneering it at THE R CHILD in Bergen County NJ.
The Renaissance Child is your neighborhood’s superpower STEAM Center, committed to helping parents
uncover their kids’ passion for STEAM.
We take an innovative approach to education, introducing STEAM at
an early age and following the Reggio Emilia approach that believes that children are resourceful social beings,
with rights and agency, that should be given fair opportunities to develop their full potential.
Our mission is to help caring parents raise creative and curious kids by bringing STEAM education to your doorstep. We strive to spark an interest and a life-long love of the arts and science in children from an early age.
This one-of-a-kind space engages,
stimulates, and nurtures children aged 1 to 14. Every class is
unique and exposes children to music, art, science, history, and
cultures through play, activities, and pure fun.
In this stimulating
and engaging environment, children can prepare for academic
success, expand their worldview, improve their self-esteem,
and nurture a lifelong love of learning!
At THE R CHILD, we strive to help children uncover their true
potential and become well-rounded adults one day. We proudly
carry the values instilled by our founder and encourage kids to
explore, experiment, and stay curious by asking questions.
We
help parents raise creative and curious kids, preparing them for
the ever-changing world of tomorrow!
