“I loved the experience I recieved from the open house tour at Lightbridge Academy. Amanda was very nice and informative. Hoping to have my little attended this amazing facility.”

“I have used Gan Aviv for both of my children from infancy through till the end of preschool. They provide outstanding childcare. The teachers and the administration truly appreciate and nurture each child and create a loving but structured environment for their growth and development.”

“Im very impressed with the school, the building, classrooms overall everything great but with the gym are the most. they have one of the biggest gym i have seen at a daycare its nice to have indoor playing area for my son in winter”

“What a wonderful experience for our toddler! His teachers are loving, supportive and fun. It is a well managed operation with ample opportunity to engage with the supervisory team. Also, the center provides many fun activities for the entire family. Very pleased with all aspects of the center. Kudos to the staff!”

“My daughter (3.5 y.o.) started with Prodigy Academie a month ago. Initially, I was very worried with how the transition would go and how she would acclimate to a new daycare, but the staff has been so accommodating and welcoming that my daughter has had no issues. The daily summary is very detailed with all the activities, food in-takes and nap duration details. She is well taken care of, her clothes are clean, hair is neat and no potty accidents (teachers are very attentive and kind). Right off the bat, my daughter started to recognize and connect numbers to her fingers, and sing a song with the name of the month - the educational standards are just amazing. There are regular check-ins to make sure parents are happy and there is always email/phone communication with regards to any updates or changes. Overall I am so happy with Prodigy and would recommend them to anyone looking for full-time daycare for their child. Feel free to reach out directly if need more details.”

“We love this daycare; very caring and nurturing environment. We are very impressed with their program and structure provided to our toddler. He loves going in and is always super excited to tell us about his day. Very grateful for Hannah’s leadership and how she has shaped the program.”

“Kindergarten ReadyMy daughter attended TLE in Englewood Cliffs from ages 1 to 4 years old. She has grown a great deal socially and academically in those crucial years. She graduated and I am thoroughly pleased with her kindergarten readiness!No daycare is perfect but I do believe they try. Issues were addressed timely and with satisfactory resolution. When I dropped my daughter off, I felt she was in a safe space and that is most comforting for a working parent. I would recommend TLE in Englewood Cliffs!”

“We have had a wonderful experience at TLE. The staff and teachers are caring and attentive and go above and beyond to ensure our children are loved and in a safe, clean, happy environment. Our children have long days at TLE (9am-5:45pm) but the TLE staff works so well together to keep the children engaged with a mix of learning and fun. Both of our daughters have thrived and learned so much at TLE and we are grateful that we found this center. The summer camp was fantastic with water play and activities each week and they just hosted a great Santa event for the children that everyone thoroughly enjoyed! The kids were thrilled to have pictures with Santa while enjoying time with their classmates and friends. Thank you TLE.. for your flexibility, understanding, and support these last few years!!!! Would definitely recommend :)”

“As a new mom, I have never been more nervous than leaving my child in someone else's care. Cadence Academy, Paramus has relieved me of those nerves by showing care and kindness to not only me, but my child. I know he is in great hands when in the infant room and I couldn't be more appreciative. I LOVE the new app that connects us to his daily activities and keeps me up to date when I can't be there myself. Thank you so much to his teachers and the staff at Cadence Academy!”

“I've had two kids attend this school and I don't believe I could have found a better place, locally or regionally. The teachers and staff have been, and are still viewed as a second family by my children and the care and education they're received is unparalleled. My wife and I cannot thank everyone working at Yearling enough for everything they've done for us!! We're truly grateful for you dedication, professionalism and the unconditional love our children received each and every day.”

“I cannot say enough good things about this daycare center. The owners and employees are such sweet, caring employees. My daughter has been in public school for a few months now, but she sleeps every night with her class picture from Play n Learn. Every week before dance, we have to stop and say hello to Ms Natasha.Play n Learn was very good at prepping my youngest for public school. She is already impressing her teachers with her writing and tracing skills. The staff recognized that she was picking up things early and they accommodated her to ensure she was always engaged and learning new skills. They had a very well rounded curriculum for the preschool aged children. The graduation celebration they threw for the children moving up was so precious, and truly above and beyond what we expected. You could tell how proud the teachers were to see their students growing and blossoming.I very much appreciated the app used to communicate and update with photos of activities throughout the day.Ms Lorelei, Mr J, and Ms Jolina have really made a special place here. I am so glad to have found them and have had them in our children's lives.Thank you for taking such good care of our kids.”

“We moved to NJ temporary for 3 months, we had to find a daycare for my 4 year old son and 2 years old daughter, the process was easy and fast. This is a Gem, the sweetest personal you will ever find, they really care about kids and family.Pros: they are open all the time, daily pictures, different activities, family oriented, kids enjoyed it, they are super clean, they really care about the kids, all the food are included (extra fee)Cons: We moved out and we can’t find anything like this place”

“I cannot speak highly enough about Palisades Preschool (“PPS”)! My 6 year old son graduated from PPS last year and it’s become even more evident now, after having him in public school this year, how incredibly exceptional PPS is!Palisades Preschool is a warm and nurturing environment; the teachers are creative and patient, and the curriculum is highly effective (we enrolled our son in Kumon at the beginning of kindergarten and he tested at a first grade level on day 1)!Staff turnover is non-existent, which means the staff loves PPS and each other as much as they love the students. This brought so much comfort to me, knowing I could rely on their long standing reputation as well as consistency from day to day.PPS has always been so accommodating - whenever I have a question or need something, they are responsive and go above and beyond to be helpful. We never feel like we’re just a number - quite the opposite actually…we feel like we’re part of the PPS family!I forgot to mention, that my son who is thriving socially, academically and emotionally, was not speaking when he started at PPS and even qualified for early intervention. He never ended up receiving early intervention therapy from the state due to COVID lockdown, but he went on to speak by the time he was 2.5 years old and thrive in all aspects of school - thanks to his incredible teachers in the toddler room (and all throughout his time there).I wholeheartedly believe that the solid foundation my son built at PPS set him up for a bright academic future! Naturally, we cannot wait for our youngest to start school next month in the toddler room!Look no further than Palisades Preschool - truly, nothing can compare! ❤️”

“We did roaming from our original center to the Columbus Square location and it was great! Super supportive and informative, both of our kids had a blast and kept talking about the new friends they met in "the big city". The guides did their best to make our kids feel like home! In one instance, my son asked to know what time we're going to pick him up and the guide called us so she could give him the most accurate response, this warmed my heart.”

“My daughter LOVES small world. The staff made her and me feel comfortable from day one. They are nurturing, friendly, and professional. Viva the director is hands on and always available. They have a phenomenal curriculum and I HIGHLY recommend their daycare program. Thank you for all that you do ❤️”

“The Co-op Nursery School of Ridgewood has been such a comforting and positive experience for my family. As first-time parents, finding the best fit for you and your child can be nerve wracking. The co-op checked all our boxes for professional and engaging teachers and staff, safety, cleanliness, and parent involvement. My daughter loves attending class and learning in a play-based environment. The Co-op community truly feels like extended family.”

“I feel in love with the entire building my child has been attending for 2 years and even until this day I have a hard time taking her home because she doesn't want to leave. the love and affection that she receives from her previous teachers until now with her current teacher it's just amazing, I love how Ms Natalie it's so caring and lovely with all the kids and you can see it when your kids don't want to leave the classroom that all they are receiving is genuine love and affection.”

“We recently moved our boys to TLE river vale from a negative experience with a different chain daycare and my husband and I wish we would've made the move sooner! Our 3 year old and 1 year old have been there for about 2 months, and we've seen such a difference in the care and our children's overall wellbeing since then. Our eldest is in the Twaddlers class with Ms. Vanessa & Ms. Debbie, and our youngest is in the infant class with Ms. Lina & Ms. Lois. Every single one for their staff is incredible, there is clear and open communication, we see the same staff day in and day out in all of the rooms. Our boys are happy everyday at drop off and pick up, I could not ask for a better place to trust my kids with. We live in Waldwick and travel 20 minutes to and from, and although there is a TLE in our town, I don't think they can compare to River vale!”

“Super happy with Zplay! We moved to New York a few years ago and it was initially hard for my child, but he's grown comfortable talking to all the other kids and I'm glad he's been able to practice Russian outside of home!”

“My daughter just graduated prek4 today and sending her to appletree was the best decision I made! Im just mad at myself for not sending her sooner! Ms.Glynnis and Ms.Jazmin are just the best teacher ever. My daughter learned so much and her English improved significantly in such a short period of time. All the teachers and staff are so loving and caring. ❤️ Looking forward to the summer camp!”

“Our son is the second child that has attended The Little Red because we were so impressed with Anna a few years ago when our daughter was there. His verbal, behavioral and social skills have advanced incredibly since September. He is always talking about his friends, Mrs. M/Ms. Noelle and all of the things he has done that day. Anna has a different weekly theme which includes stories, arts and crafts, sensory bin, etc. The children not only work on their communication and behavioral skills, but also gross and fine motor skills as well. The class size is small with 6 children per 2 adults which allows the children to connect with each other and enhance their learning. Anna is also wonderful with potty training and will give advice on any issues/concerns you may have with your childs learning/behavior. We are sad that the school year is coming to an end because it means that our family’s time is up with Anna. I would not hesitate recommending TLR to anyone as it is a caring and enriching environment for your child.”

“Red Owl, where my 4-year-old attends, is truly exceptional. The dedicated teachers and staff create an enriching environment that fosters both learning and genuine care. Their commitment to nurturing young minds goes beyond the ordinary, making it a place where my child not only learns but also flourishes. I am consistently impressed by the creativity, patience, and passion exhibited by the team at Red Owl, making it a truly remarkable center for early childhood education.”

“I can not be more happy with All About Me. They set up my daughter for success and prepared her for it takes to be a great student. She is thriving in school and all because of the care and support of the All About Me staff. If you can get your child in their program, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for everything you did for her.”

“I highly recommend All about me for its exceptional nurturing environment and enriching educational experience. Mrs. Sri and Miss Pearl played crucial roles in creating a warm atmosphere, fostering both academic and emotional development for my child. The curriculum promotes holistic growth, and the teachers maintain excellent communication with parents. Their commitment to addressing both the child's and the family's needs sets this center apart, making it an excellent choice for early learners.”

“Morningside Playcare has been such a wonderful experience for both my son (age 4) and our family! Their staff is so experienced and truly cares about each and every child. They honor their school's philosophy but also respect your choices. They understand what it takes for children to thrive and provide amazing parent/children check in points! The most thorough we've ever had! We wish we could stay with them forever!”

“We love Learn Smart! I can honestly say that this daycare actually takes the time to teach, listen, and understand each child individually. We are so happy we found this place.”

“THE BEST!Erika and the teachers do an amazing job at making you feel like you’re home. My daughter has been there for a little over a year now and it has been such an incredible experience. We heard about LTNS through friends in town who also raved about it. Everyone is warm and welcoming, the classrooms and halls are bright, and the app is always updated! I love receiving pictures and notifications all day long about what is going on. I feel like my daughter has learned so much in such a short amount of time. I know that Miss. Erika and all of her teachers love my baby as much as I do. Knowing your child is safe, cared for, and happy is all that matters. We are so grateful to have them!”

“The Learning Experience at Tenafly has been great for my daughter, who has truly grew and evolved while attending their preschool program. When we first started she was 3-years old! Now she is four and will be starting Kindergarten in September. I believe that she is well prepared for kindergarten! She is reading, writing, and our conversations reveal just how much she has learned at TLE. I am so happy with the foundational skills she has gained here. TLE at Tenafly has set a foundational basis for what I expect from my child's schooling experience. I will forever appreciate what Jill, Gabby, and the staff have done during our time. I also want to thank her preschool teachers! I would like to especially thank Ms. Pam, who taught her how to write. I believe anyone who attends will be very happy with the care they receive for their child, from infants all the way to Pre-k! A very special place!”

“My family enjoyed our years at Purple Circle. An amazingly nurturing environment and very community minded. Elaine and Laurie are so very passionate about our children”

“Top Notch School in EVERY way ❤️I cannot begin to explain how happy we are that we found you and your school! Thank you for the care, the attention to detail, the education and nurturing you gave to our son. We will always feel grateful he was afforded this experience. Your staff is wonderful, an extension of you both. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you.”
