“I love the center. My oldest son has been here in Harmony House since he was four months old and he graduated two years ago,” said Janice Williams, a parent from the community who utilizes the center. “I still have two of my sons here. The teachers are doing a great job. They treat my children as their own children.”

SUCCESS STORY: JAWAN PERINECulinary Graduate Prepares Tasty Meals at Legal Seafood
For as long as he can remember, Jawan Perine has been fascinated by cooking.
“I was a little, chubby, kid so I always ate. I was watching cooking shows since I was 8 or 9 and cooking since I was 12,” he said. “I would write down recipes from the t.v. and give it to my mom or start trying to cook it myself.”
A 2005 graduate of the New Community School of Culinary Arts in Newark, Perine is now a chef at Legal Sea Foods, a popular, upscale, restaurant located in the Short Hills Mall. The restaurant’s entrees include dishes like lobster risotto, double stuffed shrimp, baked scrod and stuffed flounder.
“The customers are very, very particular. You also have to be conscious of allergies and be ready to make modifications to a dish to fit the individual’s needs,” he said.
Eric Wiggins, the sous chef at the restaurant, called Perine a “hard worker” with a “great attitude.”
“He’s a great asset to our team,” he said.
Perine, 25, who has worked at Legal Sea Foods for over a year, credits the training he received at the New Community School of Culinary Arts with helping to prepare him for his current position.
“I loved the school. I learned a lot of things and really got my speed up,” said the 2003 graduate of Newark’s Weequahic High School. “Working at a restaurant is completely different from cooking in your own house.”
His dream is to one day open his own restaurant.
