RISE UP FAMILY DAYCARE  was incorporated on August 31, 2002 in the city of Newark, state of New Jersey. The facility is run from a four-level, one-family home on the quiet street of Hedden Terrace. 

Hedden Terrace is a long tree-lined one way street accessible from W. Runyon and Hawthorne Avenue and leads to the main road, Clinton Avenue.  Hedden Terrace is filled with privately owned homes and is a street lively with children of all ages.  Hedden Terrace has an entrance into Cooper Park which leads to the playgrounds of Clinton Avenue Elementary School and Newark Community Pre-school. 

RISE UP FAMILY DAYCARE is proud to start its operations in the heart of an area that thrives on education, development, and social revenues for its children.  

RISE UP FAMILY DAYCARE is a fully-facilitated center with seating and sleeping arrangements, educational tools, books, computers, and toys - all in a home environment.
