“I am pleased to provide my highest recommendation for the The Goddard School.

Our family's experience with the school has been exceptional from the very beginning. What stands out most is the genuine care, professionalism, and dedication demonstrated by the entire staff. Every interaction reflects a deep commitment to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and develop confidence.

The teachers have consistently gone above and beyond to foster both academic and social-emotional development. They take the time to understand each child as an individual, communicate effectively with families, and create classrooms that are welcoming, structured, and filled with opportunities for exploration and discovery.

Equally impressive is the school's leadership and culture. The administration is responsive, thoughtful, and clearly invested in maintaining high standards while building strong relationships with families. It is evident that the well-being and success of the children are at the center of every decision.

As parents, there is tremendous peace of mind in knowing your child is spending each day in an environment that is not only safe and well-organized but also joyful and enriching. The positive impact the school has had on our family is difficult to overstate.

I would enthusiastically recommend The Goddard School of Branchburg to any family seeking a high-quality early childhood education experience. It is an outstanding school staffed by exceptional educators and leaders who truly care about the children they serve.”

“We’ve had such a positive experience with this daycare center since our child started at just three months old. From the very beginning, the staff has been incredibly warm, caring, and nurturing, which gave us so much peace of mind as new parents.

The environment is always clean, well-organized, and clearly maintained with great attention to detail. It’s obvious that the team takes pride in creating a safe and welcoming space for the children.

What stands out the most is how attentive and engaged the caregivers are. They truly take the time to understand each child’s needs and personality, and it shows in the way they interact with them every day.

We feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful place for our child. I would absolutely recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a loving and trustworthy environment.”

“As I reflect on 2025 and look at pictures of my growing daughter, I can’t help but smile at all of the pictures we have at our favorite place - Gymboree.

She is 2.5 years old now, but we started coming here last Winter, shortly after she began running around and needing more stimulation. Although shy and reserved at times, she has truly come out of her shell here. I can’t thank the owner and staff enough for the care they put into our kids.

We started our journey in the runners class, moved up to the explorers class, and more recently have began gentle separation in the PreK steps classroom as well. Due to the varying classes including those for mixed ages/abilities, I have been able to have many “play-dates” with friends who have little ones of all ages. We celebrated our daughter’s 2nd birthday this past year and all of the parents raved about how much fun their children had.

My daughter requests to come here daily and this has truly become our home away from home!”

“Very happy with their service. My daughter has been going here for three weeks now and hasn’t missed a single day or gotten sick. I’m a very picky parent when it comes to childcare—this is her third daycare—and I finally feel at ease. The director and staff truly pay attention and treat each child as an individual with their own personality and needs. You can feel the care the moment you walk in.”

“PNS is an extended part of my family. I found this school a few years ago while on the hunt for quality and affordable childcare. I loved reading the positive reviews which made me call and get a tour of the school. The director and overall staff made me feel like I made the right decision for my child's preschool experience.The staff does a great job with communication and giving updates of your child throughout the day. I loved the activities that were offered. I enjoyed how inclusive the school was. In addition I appreciated the safety and security measures. My child was able to take swim classes and go on field trips during the spring/summer. Each week there was fresh produce and bakery goods donated by local businesses for families in need. For the holidays there were incentives that really helped the families throughout the school as well. If you're in the area, please check out this school and learn about the history behind the school. I always mention pns when I come across local mothers who need childcare.”

“My son is so happy at ADLC and truly enjoys being there every day! He feels completely comfortable in his classroom and has made great friends. The amazing team at ADLC has helped him feel comfortable, confident, and welcomed. We are truly grateful for the incredible care, patience, and support that everyone has shown him. It is a wonderful community, and the staff Mr. Max, Ms. Kim and Ms Meghan are incredibly amazing and helpful. I highly recommend ADLC to any parent looking for a supportive and nurturing environment for their child.”

“I have had a great experience with this daycare overall! The staff is friendly, caring, receptive to feedback and willing to work with parents if any concerns come up. My daughter loves her teacher and I have seen progress in her learning and development. I am happy to have found such a caring environment for my daughter.”

“Goddard has been an absolute blessing for our family. From the moment you walk in the door, you can feel how loving, patient, and caring the staff truly are. Every child is known, supported, and celebrated! I highly recommend Goddard!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Primrose! From the moment I first inquired to the tour of the faculty, it was clear that the facility is truly top tier. The response time is impeccable, and the team at the Hillsborough location is absolutely incredible.

If you are looking for daycare for your infant, truly look no further. The attention to detail, the genuine attentiveness they show to each child, the cleanliness of the environment, and the consistent communication with parents are outstanding. Most importantly, they provide the peace of mind every parent hopes for when leaving their child in someone else’s care.

I highly recommend Primrose to any parent seeking a nurturing, professional, and trustworthy environment for their child.”

“Amazing experience. I have no words to express my gratitude towards such excellent and knowledgeable teachers especially, Miss Ritu, Miss Pihu and Miss Manisha. They really have a great experience to handle kids, teach them good manners, reading, writing and what not. My child misses them a lot and talks most of the time about them. Me and my husband are very grateful that we enrolled him at Lightbridge. I would 100 percent recommend this child care. Thank you a lot lovely teachers ?”

“Our son has been attending Sapling School since he was a year old. He is now 4 years old! This will be our child’s last year as he enters kindergarten in the fall. Sapling School has been so welcoming over the years. Ive always appreciated their transparency and active communication to the parents. They also offer extracurricular activities in the summer like sports camp, which I thought was nice for our son to stay active. I will personally miss Parent’s Night, that was a nice treat for us.?”

“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.”

“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.”

“We absolutely love The Harmony School. Our kids are so happy here as they’re learning, growing, and most importantly, they feel safe and loved every single day. It’s amazing to see how much they’re exposed to, from Spanish and cooking to dance, music, and sports.

The teachers are incredibly kind, attentive, and experienced. What really stands out is how everyone knows all the children (not just their own class) and takes the time to say hello. It feels like a real community.

It’s such a warm, happy environment, and I genuinely can’t imagine sending our kids anywhere else.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Our family truly loved our experience at Kiddie Academy North Brunswick. The staff is warm, patient, and so easy to talk to. They always made us feel welcome and supported, and they took such great care of our child. We’re very grateful for everything they’ve done for our child. Highly recommend — please enroll your kids here!”

“Great learning for kids. Very good teachers. Keeping kids engaged in all different activities including reading, field trips, fun summer activities like water play, ice cream trucks, magician coming over etc. My son is here for last 5 years and enjoys going to Kiddie.!”

“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 couldn’t be happier with our sons time at American Montessori. The Montessori approach truly exceeded our expectations and laid a good foundation for his learning journey.

The focus on self-directed work also built incredible independence and focus.

Thank you Ms. Lalitha.”

“The BEST nursery school, our oldest daughter is a graduate (was VERY prepared for K) and our youngest is in the 3's. Great teachers, wonderful community of kids and parents and such a great learning, playing and loving environment”

“The teachers and staff are amazing. They put so much effort in taking care of my little one. I’ve seen how much my daughter has grown and I can say the same when my son came to this daycare. Your child will be in the best care.”

“PDS is a great institution. The faculty and staff have gotten to know each of my 3 kids so well. All 3 kids are different, but PDS has met each of them where they are and enabled them to be successful! I am beyond grateful for their experience and the warmth of the entire community. Everyone in the community, including parents, are “all in” and it feels great to be a part of the school’s impact beyond just what it’s doing for my own kids.”

“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.”
