“Great school and lovely staff. My kids love going to school and they come back with a smile on their faces. The school prepares the child for the next level of education. We love Kindercapers.”

“I highly recommend Lightbridge academy at Route 27 North Brunswick . I love the way the care and activities they provide to kids. For Pre-school programs , I must say ,hats-off to teachers for shaping our kids journey towards Kindergarten. I want toGive special Shout out to for Ms. Anu, Ms Meenaxi and Ms. Renne for the unconditional love and support my kid has received. I explained my concerns regarding my kid eczema and Ms.Anu had taken it in consideration with her sincere care and love ?. Thank you so much !”

“You know you made the right decision when the first thing your son wants to do in the morning is go to “school”.
He is 3 (almost) and learns new words everyday from the daycare. The teachers at TLE are full of positive energy, Ms Kelly being my son’s first emotional support and now, Ms Anita. We couldn’t be happier with the management staff especially Ms Doreen’s welcoming smile and Ms Priya’s enthusiasm every drop off and pick up time!!
They send meal information and pictures about the child’s activities which helps us understand how a typical day is spent. We recommend TLE wholeheartedly!”

“My son had his first birthday party here , everything was already prepare for us and very well put together. Thank you so much Megha the decorations were beautiful , staff was amazing and my guests had a great time . I would recommend this for anyone who is looking for a place to have a party for toddlers .”

“The staff and teachers are very caring and make a big difference every day . They have always been a great help. We really love this center and appreciate everything they do. I highly recommend this center for anyone looking for daycares.”

“We could not be happier here. Our son has learned so much since starting in the preschool class last year. He loves all the teachers. All the staff is amazing and truly cares about the kids.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Goddard School in Skillman! From the moment our son started attending, we’ve seen tremendous growth in his confidence, social skills, and love for learning. The teachers and staff are nurturing, professional, and truly dedicated to each child’s development.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, blending play-based learning with strong academic foundations. Every day, our son comes home excited to share what he’s learned — from science experiments to storytime adventures. The communication from the school is also outstanding, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way.

We’re so grateful for the warm, safe, and enriching environment Goddard Skillman provides. It has been the perfect first step in our son’s educational journey!”

“We're so happy we found Knowledge Beginnings! Having been at a different daycare before, the difference here is remarkable. From the outset, it was clear that the staff truly cared about the children's education and development. The center is clean, and we love that there's a curriculum that we're updated on weekly. It's been amazing to watch our daughter grow over the past few months, and we know her development is due in big part to the community at Knowledge Beginnings. The Directors and teachers are invested in each child and bring enthusiasm and care to every interaction. They're always thinking of new fun and engaging activities for the infants here and have been super accommodating to our daughter's needs including changes in schedule, bringing our own lunches, etc. She loves it here; you can tell by how happy she is even at the end of a long day. I can't imagine a better place for her - thank you to the Directors and all the teachers here that truly make this place special.”

“We absolutely adore all of the teachers and staff at Goddard! They treat my two boys like family. I trust them and know that my kids are well taken care of and always have a fun day at school”

“We love PNS! The teachers are caring, the environment is safe and nurturing, and my kids has learned and grown so much. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a great preschool experience!”

“Our kids have been going to Village Learning Center for almost three years. They have been great working with us to accomodate our childrens needs. The teachers go above and beyond for their students. Pickup and drop off is fast and easy. Plus the kids love to visit the centers resident rabbit, Pepper.”

“If i could give 10 stars i WOULD!!! Kindercare at hillsborough has been nothing short of perfect for us !!! The teachers/staff communication is outstanding. We absolutely love the education my son is 3 years old and is doing pre school education! They are so accommodating and always go out of their way to make sure the parents are always happy and pleased . We love getting our daily updates so we can see how our baby is doing through out the day is another big plus we get pictures and videos !!? Also their menu is healthy for the kids which is great. The facility is also very clean. They truly are AMAZING!!!!”

“Thank you to all the Amazing Teachers at Stanworth for taking care of our little girl and helping her start her learning journey ?You all are simply the best and i hope you all know it. We wish you all nothing but success and more success in years to come. The best thing we could do was choose this school for our child.”

“This school is a rare gem. This was our 3 year olds first time in any school, and he THRIVED! The teachers are all so warm and welcoming, and very engaged with the students. It is a true community that you build being involved with Cherry Hill Nursery School. The staff is amazing, and most teachers and staff were at one point parents of students, so they are very invested in the wellbeing of the children here. We intentionally skipped out on the public preK this year so he could finish out with Cherry Hill. Truly could not recommend this school more for littles starting out in PreK!”

“A gem of a little preschool nestled in Rocky Hill’s historic schoolhouse building. We felt really lucky that we were able to secure a place for our daughter here we when she was three. Nurturing teachers who fill the childrens’ days with creative activities and lots of fun play, our daughter absolutely loved her time here and, being a coop, it felt really special to be able to directly witness this part of her life/development on days helping out in the classroom.”

“I am so grateful for Lightbridge of Plainsboro! As a mother of two young girls, I know how stressful and seemingly impossible it can be to find childcare that feels "right" for your family. Before coming to Lightbridge, I'd basically given up on the idea that we'd ever find a place that we could feel good about (and afford!). We've now been at Lightbridge for over a year, and it still seems too good to be true. My 3 year old absolutely loves being at school, and our baby is so well taken care of. The teachers prioritize all the right things: they are warm and nurturing, but still encourage growth; the day is structured, but with plenty of fun and creativity. Everyone at Lightbridge is communicative and responsive, and it's clear to me that they actually love the kids. As a working mom who values not only a great education but also a warm, nurturing environment, all of these qualities are invaluable to me. I can't recommend this place highly enough.”

“We love the excellent service and the personal experience we have at Primrose School.

The dedication of the staff, the nurturing environment, and the focus on both education and character development makes it truly special!”

“The staff at the Goddard School in Hillsborough have always been so incredible, we've had children there since 2016 since the birth of my first child, and our third is currently there in one of the toddler rooms. They are always responsive, friendly, they are incredible communicators, and whenever I've had a concern it has always been addressed quickly and in a satisfying way. I tell anyone who needs childcare that this is the place to bring your child, you have peace of mind knowing the incredible care they get and the learning experiences my kids have had are unmatched.”

“We’ve had such a great experience with the Infant Room at ADLC. Ms. Casey is incredibly warm, attentive, and truly loves the babies—our little one settled in quickly and absolutely lights up when she sees her! The room feels calm, clean, and well-organized, and we really appreciate the regular updates and photos.

We’ve also noticed some really positive changes under the new management—communication has improved, and the overall vibe at the center feels more professional and nurturing. We’re so glad we chose ADLC for our baby’s first classroom!”

“I was responsible for my friend’s keys while he was getting married at this church. I left them in the pews by mistake and we didn’t realize they were missing until he was on his honeymoon. This caused a lot of stress and put a great strain on our friendship. The kind and caring staff here helped me locate the keys, which was the first step in rebuilding our damaged relationship.”

“Best daycare and kindergarten in area hands down. Mrs. Christina truly has made me feel confident knowing my kids are cared for as if they are her own. Mrs. Christina/staff goes way above and beyond to help me (understanding my children developmentally with two totally different personalities/behavior/learning styles and giving support any time i seek it). If i contact them for updates they welcome me warmly, never bothered by frequent check ins.

It takes a village. they are ours.

The facility is always clean, staff quickly become like family.

You won’t find any other childcare center that cares for your children AND your family as a whole like the learning gate.
Curriculum throughout the program has been wonderful and exciting to my children. They work hard to have many fun events and even give you the opportunity to volunteer and join the memory making!”

“We will forever be so grateful for the time our daughter spent at the Sapling School! As first time parents we were so anxious about putting our daughter into daycare but the Sapling School quickly dissolved all our nerves. The entire staff is so warm and welcoming, we truly felt they became an extension of our little family and loved on our baby girl just as much as we do. The communication between teachers and parents is exceptional. The facilities are so clean and they have a great system to sanitize everything. The only reason we left Sapling School is because we moved 40mins away and we are completely heartbroken that we could not keep our daughter enrolled. Ms. Kerry and the entire staff have set the bar so high for us and I would recommend the school over and over again.”

“Awesome staff, love the dynamic between the staff and kids, very clean, updated, and safe Daycare, I like the fact that my kid hang out with other kids from different race.”

“Kiddie Academy of Hillsborough hires the most wonderful and caring staff; all of my child’s teachers greatly exceed our expectations! We are beyond thankful to have such a trusted and enriching place to leave our little one during our workdays.”

“Three of my kids go there, 1 before covid and 2 still there. We really love the center. I prompted ChatGPT to write a poem praising Ms. Peggy, the assistant director who has taught all three kids, and here it is:Peggy, the assistant director,Of the day care that's such a victor,A superhero in her role,With a memory like a bottomless bowl.Each child's name she knows by heart,Their little quirks, she has no counterpart,She keeps track of everything,And ensures that each child's flourishing.She's always ready to lend a hand,To do whatever's needed to keep things grand,From changing diapers to telling stories,Peggy's always there with her care and glories.And when it comes to parents' trust,She's always the one that they can trust,Her communication is top-notch,And her heart for children, it's just hard to match.So here's to Peggy, the superhero of the day care,The one who's always there to love, to help, to share,The one who makes the pre-school a true delight,For every child, every day, every night.”

“Someone posted about not fair racial enrollment. My granddaughter is black and the staff seems to treat her fine. They do have a strict curriculum. They also offer an online app for the parents. You can see all communication on the app as well as pictures. I have never picked up my kid dirty. I feel that they stay on top of her diaper changes. I also like that they have a tight security.”
