SNAP Benefits and Local Food Resources

Beginning November 1, updates to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits may affect some Mercer County families. We want to ensure that every family has access to local resources and support during this time.

Families who receive SNAP benefits can find up-to-date information on assistance programs and food resources throughout Mercer County.

Our Voice In Action

Princeton Nursery School is proud to have participated in the Start Strong New Jersey Campaign, a statewide initiative advocating for stronger public investment in early childhood education. The campaign team recently visited and filmed at our school, highlighting the essential role that programs like PNS play in supporting working families and ensuring every child has access to high-quality early learning.

During their visit, our parents shared their powerful stories about how the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) makes early education possible and how the recent funding freeze has impacted their families and stability. Their voices remind us that behind every policy decision are real children, families, and educators working together for a brighter future.

Through our involvement in this campaign, PNS continues to stand up for equity, affordability, and opportunity—values that have guided our mission for nearly a century.
