Schools near Chesterfield, NJ

“My daughter spent three wonderful years at The Learning Experience (TLE). My spouse and I couldn't be more grateful for how much my daughter grew socially, intellectually, and emotionally. From the beginning, the staff made us feel welcome and supported, creating a warm and nurturing environment that helped my timid daughter thrive. Over time, she made many close friends and truly came out of her shell, developing confidence and strong social skills that will benefit her for years to come.

A great strength of TLE is its curriculum. Its academic offering is outstanding—engaging and thoughtfully designed to support both academic and social emotional growth. I was consistently impressed by how much my daughter was learning, from early literacy and math to the arts and problem-solving. The teachers are not only knowledgeable but also caring passionate about what they do, always going the extra mile to make learning fun and meaningful. On the rare occasions that my child encountered challenges, the staff was very responsive and immediately addressed our concern as parents.

What really sets at TLE East Windsor apart is the kindness and dedication of the entire staff. They are always readily available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer support whenever needed. It's clear that they genuinely care about the development of the whole child. Knowing my daughter was in such capable and compassionate hands gave us tremendous peace of mind every day. I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, enriching, and loving environment for their child.”

“We feel truly fortunate to have our son enrolled at Inclusive Montessori. The dedication and care shown by the entire teaching staff have been exceptional. Special thanks to Miss Dipika and Miss Kala, who have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure our son feels supported and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better environment for his early development.”

“Finding the right daycare was extremely important and from the moment we walked into Over the Rainbow, it immediately felt like the right place. Jessica was amazing from the very beginning, answering all our questions and guiding us through the process. The teachers and staff are always smiling and laughing, making the environment feel friendly and welcoming. Ms. Brianna and Ms. Febe have been so amazing in helping our daughter get use to daycare and I love how comfortable she feels around them. Ms. Maya and Ms. Kristy are so sweet and Ms. Ashley is always giving a warm welcome. Couldn’t recommend them enough.”

“This daycare has such a warm, welcoming feel. It’s the kind of place where you can immediately tell the kids are happy and cared for. The staff are genuinely kind and attentive, and they create a really nurturing environment. One thing I really love is that there are two great playgrounds, lots of space for the kids to run around, play, and just be kids. It’s such a comfort knowing they’re spending their day in a place where they feel safe, supported, and free to explore.”

“We feel very fortunate to come to know about Elements Montessori academy through a friend and meet Mrs. Hema Krishna Kumar when we were searching for options to send our daughter back to school for kindergarten after the covid gap year when we were hesitating to send her to school. All EMA Staff are very friendly, professional and take very good care of the kids and take all necessary covid pre-cautions. After only a few days we stopped worrying too much about covid. My daughter loves the school and does not want to miss even a single day. The Program is excellent for all round development of the children and as explained by Mrs. Hema Krishna Kumar on our first visit there is no set limited syllabus, based on how the child is progressing new topics/skill levels are introduced. Thank you very much Mrs. Krishna Kumar, Mrs. Bhavani and the rest of the staff at EMA. We just started to send our younger son here as well. Thank you Mrs. Bala and Mrs. Matthew.- Pulsani Family”

“My daughter started at Goddard three months ago. This is her first school, and we’ve had a truly wonderful experience so far. Everyone at the school is so welcoming, and they take the time each morning to greet the children. My daughter is very attached to me, but Ms. Liz has done a fantastic job helping her transition into school and making her feel welcome and included. Although it still takes a little time each morning for her to join her classmates, both my family and I believe she will continue to grow and thrive at Goddard West Windsor.”

“Would highly recommend! My son is very high energy and has a hard time listening to anyone. When he started Kiddie he has been more excited about going to preschool. No more fighting him to get out the car, he made friends and he loved the staff not only his teachers, the entire staff! It felt like one huge family and I truly appreciate each and everyone there!”

“This is the best day care! My daughter went here from 6 months to 4 years old. I transferred her from another facility where we had a bad experience and it was the best decision from the start. The staff is so warm and loving. I’ve never had no concerns! It’s clean and managed very well. My daughter was sick only once with an ear infection. I share this because with the other school there was always something that had me concerned about their cleanliness. My daughter has learned so much, but most importantly, they continued to instill kindness and good manners. I will miss this school and the teachers!”

“Nothing but wonderful things to say about Goddard. They are so responsive and attentive to every child and parents needs. The curriculum is well rounded and the children are ultimately prepared for Kindergarten. The teachers go above and beyond to make children feel safe and comfortable. My daughter is very anxious and has a hard time leaving mom; now she doesn’t want to ever leave school!!! Great job to Kim and the rest of admin. Juliana, Victoria and Caity are wonderful teachers that we will miss once in elementary school. Thank you always ❤️”

“I did my research and checked out quite a few daycares before settling on this location that was recommended to me by other moms.

I have sent my children to this center for roughly three years and I can’t say enough good things about Kindercare. Vicki is an absolutely phenomenal director of the daycare and from day one made me feel at ease about sending my kids there. I had a lot of questions and was overall very anxious as a new mom and she made sure to give me frequent updates and put all my worries at ease about dropping off my little one there. Vicki always responds to all emails in a very timely manner and is always available for any questions/concerns which I really appreciated. Again, I can’t say enough good things about Vicki, all the teachers and the center overall!

Overall, all the teachers are amazing at the center as well and lead teachers have been the same the entirety of my time there. The teachers really go out of their way to make the kids have a good day and make all the kids feel special and loved. I always felt safe and comfortable knowing the kids were in good hands. Any problems/concerns/issues that ever arose were quickly addressed and honestly I can’t say how good my experience has been at this center.

You can tell if adults care about working with children and I can say from my experience Vicki and the teachers genuinely care about the kids and their wellbeing as well as growth. Vicki was also so supportive and accommodating on any changes/requests I had regarding moving schedules that helped us out immensely. They also do annual reviews for the kids to let you know how far they are coming a long in their skills and to make sure kids are ready for kindergarten.

Kids spend so much time at daycare in this day and age due to working parents and we all need to make sure our kids are safe, well looked after and are actually learning at daycare. The center has a lot of activities through out the school year and especially during the summer as well. and they had chicks they hatched this past summer which the kids loved! Graduation was very emotional for the kids as well as the teachers as they all genuinely were so proud and happy for the kiddos for how far they all came along.

There is also an app that they upload frequent pictures of the kids and schedules/important information - I loved being able to see what my kids were doing during the day. Kids are also given breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack which was so nice so we didn’t have to worry about packing lunches/or if they were fed well. The menu comes out well ahead of time and meals are overall balanced and nutritious. The kids were also provided diapers/wipes/formula but I am unsure if that policy is still in place post Covid - so if you calculate the cost of good care, meals, formula, diapers/wipes - the center is absolutely worth it. Overall, if you are looking for a good daycare this is the place to go!”

“We’re extremely happy with the switch we made to Discovery Daycare. Simply put they do not make people like Jacqueline anymore. Her team here at Discovery is amazing. They are so caring, considerate and genuinely love my kids as their own. They constantly go above and beyond to make us parents feel included. My kids have flourished here and we couldn’t recommend it enough!”

“This daycare is easily the best decision my husband and I made. Pam put us at ease from the very first day our son attended. We were already so nervous about switching daycares as we just moved to the area and we knew the transition would be tough for our son who had made so many friends in his previous school. I was nearly in tears the first day we dropped him off. Pam stayed with him to get him adjusted to the classroom and even checked in with me to let me know how he was doing. I love that at kiddie academy, our child isn’t just one of the many kids who attend this daycare. Many of the staff members know my son by first name and greet him whenever they see him. You can tell how much they care for each and every child in this school. I read countless reviews when deciding on a daycare for my child. I had literally lost sleep researching all the daycares in the area and reading reviews from other parents. I knew after we toured kiddie academy Hamilton that this is where our son would excel. He’s been attending for a few short months but WOW, we have seen such a huge change in him! He speaks more at home, has picked up so many new words and phrases and our once VERY picky eater (who would only eat goldfish and teddy grahams) was eating nutritious meals provided daily by the school and using utensils! Thank you kiddie academy Hamilton for giving our boy so much love and attention. We have nothing but praise for this school and the wonderful staff ?”

“My three children have had wonderful experiences at Rainbow Academy! They are well cared for, happy, and academically ready to start Kindergarten in the fall. The staff is creative and kind and they have even begun food exploration for the letter of the week which has been a great way to try new things! We will certainly miss them when we graduate and recommend them for a wonderful preschool/daycare experience!”

“We chose the Goddard School for our children for many reasons. I was impressed by the school’s wholistic early education curriculum which fosters learning through creativity, self expression, developing quality social interactions and interpersonal skills, as well as HAVING FUN! The choice was easy after taking a tour and meeting the Owner, Christine Matthey, who shows an extreme level of compassion, empathy, patience, and experience working with young students. I felt “at home” during our meet and greet and knew my children would be in the best care.
I very much appreciate the quality care my children receive with educators who take their jobs seriously but also visibly adore teaching and caring for our children. Every teacher/ assistant teacher I have met is patient, professional, compassionate, and take wonderful care of our children while helping them grow to meet their full potential as “little learners”. My children ( ages 5 and 21 months) are always excited to see their teachers and development has really grown in behavior, language skills, emotional regulation, and curiosity. The Goddard School promotes high parental involvement and we are able to carryover what our children are doing at school through books/activities at home. Above all else, my children are happy and thriving at the Goddard School.
We love being involved with our children’s school and happily accept invitations to volunteer and participate in school activities. Thus far, we have attended and end of Summer BBQ and participated in the Halloween Trunk or Treat. Both of which were a blast! The opportunities to show up and be a part of the classroom are very welcomed. This is more than just a job for these teachers, The Goddard School feels like a family.”

“My daughter's and I had the most wonderful experience attending Kids Corner. We still drop in when in the area to say hi. I recommend kids corner to everyone in need of child care.”

“My oldest daughter has been going to Growville daycare for almost a year now, we are very happy with the school! All of the teachers take great care of our girl, she mentions Ms Carol Ann a lot ?

The owner is very kind and the manager is orderly!”

“My kids have attended this school for several years. Teachers are amazing and very attentive. I feel very comfortable with my children here. They focus on religion and education correctly and my children have excelled here. Very good school.”

“I’m so happy that I chose this school for my toddlers. It is a safe, mentally stimulating environment that offers daily opportunities for positive early childhood development.”

“I attended an Open House and went on a Parent Interview and both times I felt welcomed and like the school is a Perfect fit for my son. The staff were friendly, very informative and encourage family involvement, which is perfect for me since i don't like to miss out on anything my children are doing. Im a mother of 4 with 3 children currently attending private school in Princeton and the quality of Education Christina Seix is offering the children is equal to the private school education (better in some subjects). I pray he gets in...if not, the children that are accepted are very fortunate to attend such a school with the quality of education that is being offered.”

“My daughter has been here since she was 6 weeks old and she’s learned so much. The teachers do really fun activities with them. I never worry about her when she’s there and if something happens while she is there I get a call immediately. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.”

“We've been thoroughly impressed with this daycare! The staff are warm, welcoming, and always accessible for updates on our child's day. I definitely recommend”

“I am enjoying working with TLE Hamilton.
Everyone is friendly and helpful and management is extra supportive. I am proud to be part of the TLE Hamilton family.”
