The DCF Regional School - Mercer Campus seeks to provide alternative educational options to students in the Mercer County area. Through our educational programs students are given the tools to succeed in and outside of the school environment. Our focus programs at DCF Mercer include Project TEACH and the TEC Program.
Visiting Nurse Partnership
The DCF Regional School-Mercer Campus participates in the Visiting Nurse Partnership with The College of New Jersey (TCNJ). Nursing students from the college visit our nurseries and perform wellness checks. These students also provide our students with presentations on various health topics. The Visiting Nurse Partnership supplies the nursing students with clinical learning experience, while sharing with our students up-to-date, health-related info. This relationship with TCNJ is an excellent source of role modeling not just for childcare, but also as an obtainable vocation for our students.
Mercer County Community College (MCCC)
DCF Mercer also has an excellent working relationship with Mercer County Community College (MCCC). Students have attended Culinary Arts workshops at the college and toured both the West Windsor and the Kearney Campuses. Some post-graduates have taken advantage of block grants to receive vocational training in Dental Hygiene. We expect more fields are to become available as our relationship continues to grow.
