“Enrolling our son at TLE is the absolute BEST decision we could’ve ever made!!! He is in the infant classroom and his teachers take such great care of him! They not only make sure he stays on individualized feeding/napping schedules, but they also are so engaging with him! They participate in music, art and lots of reading. He is so safe and loved at TLE, and we feel so lucky to have found such a great ‘home away from home’ for him.”

“Play N Learn was where both my children went to when they were younger… they are now 7 and 9 and ask to go back every chance they get. They love it! We love it! The teachers are great, they really care about the children. They update you daily on their activities which gives you a piece of mind while working. Their hours are working parent friendly which is great for the working parents. Kids come home with projects and always have awesome stories to share. Honestly, you feel like part of the family at Play N Learn. We love all the staff! We appreciate everything they did from potty training to the extra snuggles. If there is a place you can trust your children with its here. Stop searching, you found a forever family.”

Each week, they provide a unique curriculum that keeps my son engaged and learning. He particularly enjoys the programs in science, arts, gym, and English. I wholeheartedly recommend this school for children who have just turned two.”

Thank you again for making me feel so included!”

The admin staff is exceptional - always responsive, and genuinely invested in making the experience smoother. The care and support my son received was also commendable- the staff truly care about the children. Highly recommend TLE for any family looking for a high quality, supportive and warm environment!”

“For a daycare, both the people running it and the facilities are important. This place has the best dedicated building that's a school and not just some office space or a converted house. It also has a nice playground that they just put soft flooring in. The owner Ms. Lisa and the principal Ms. Jackie are really on top of things and the class teachers are all great. Your child will switch classes as he/she gets older and will meet different teachers. Currently we're with Ms. Annika and she's amazing. Our previous teachers were also amazing. Our daughter really likes going there although it took her a while to get used to it. Every time she falls or trips like toddlers do all the time, they take an incident report and show it to us. They really look after your kids and value them. They're in very good hands at TLE Englewood Cliffs.

Suggestion for improvements: Please upload higher quality photos, and video in the app so we can see our little ones clearer and in motion. We'll even pay extra for it!”

“As a dad, nothing matters more to me than knowing my child is safe, happy, and loved—and the teachers from TLE in ER from Toddler B group, Ms. Mellany and Ms. Melinda have completely earned my trust. From day one, they’ve gone above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing environment that feels like a second home.
They don’t just watch the kids—they engage with them, teach them, comfort them, and cheer them on through every little milestone. I’ve watched my toddler grow so much socially and emotionally, and it’s 100% thanks to the amazing care and energy these teachers bring every day.
It’s clear they love what they do, and as a parent, there’s nothing more reassuring than that. Thank you for everything you do—you’ve made a huge difference in our lives.”

“The experience my grandchildren 6 mths and 3 years have had and have presently at Gan Henel has been and IS Excellent. It is a warm, caring, loving and professional daycare. I highly recommend it.
The children are treated with the upmost care
and the staff are truly concerned about the welfare of the children in their care. Great , loving environment to send ur kids.”

“You can take systematic and professional basic classes Lv.2 Lv3.
Serai instructor is good for beginners who are learning the basics of swimming.
I also recommend learning from Kyle and Branden after beginners.
You can learn more about advanced swimming skills and professional games, skills, and postures.
I took the class from lv.2 for exactly 1 year, and my 6-year-old child passed the swimming team evaluation.
When looking at the growth and classes objectively over the past year, the best advantage of the center's classes was that the swimming instructors explained sufficiently and made class kids and parents understand.
They suggested ways to think about, approach, and enjoy exercise, not just classes.
Therefore, my little piggy was able to learn happily without giving up.

If consider, swim team. Jcc coach Nile is a specialist and not only him, but also sub coaches are also very good.
AS parents, we expect the kids to be good swimmers. Here in JCC, not only good swimmer but also learn attitude and mind. I really respect this teaching approach, and thanks.
My little piggy will be the center's proud one day or someday, and this program's instructors and programs are my proud.

More than my references, good ?”

“We absolutely love Learn and Grow Academy! Our little Julia has thrived there, and we couldn’t be happier. We originally came because a friend recommended it and we’re so glad we did!
Patty and Nina are truly amazing. They’re warm, patient, and genuinely care about every child. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in how much our child has learned and how excited they are to go each day. The atmosphere is fun, nurturing, and full of creativity. I wish we knew earlier about them.”

“Absolutely the best date night idea ever! We had so much fun and also felt so safe and comfortable with the instructors. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely be back!”

Angad comes home happy and excited about what he learns each day, and we can see how much he’s growing under their guidance. We’re so grateful for the love and support they give him every single day!”

“Our oldest daughter is now just wrapping up her time in pre k4 at Appletree Preschool and I have to say it's been such a positive experience for her. She's been attending since Jan 2022 and she's loved every minute of it. From the teaching curriculum to the different activities throughout the day its been a fun journey. All of the teachers and staff have been so kind and amazing and its been so great seeing her always coming home with a smile on her face because the day at Appletree was so enjoyable. While I'm sure it's not easy and it will be a big change, I think Appletree definitely prepares kids well for the next journey into Kindergarten. We're looking forward to having our youngest daughter enroll in Appletree in a couple of years.”

“My daughter started this school last year and I have nothing but great things to say. They are caring, responsible, and just such amazing people. Miss Christa’s class is just the best She is the kind of teacher that you want for your kids, Someone that you can see and feel That really cares for the children and you can see it through their growth. My daughter has learned so much. She is just three years old and Sometimes I’m amazed myself with the things that she learns at school. She loves to school so much that some weekends she begs to go back to school. They have a schedule calendar every month with activities and fun things to do. They keep you updated throughout the day about what your child is doing, which is great and it gives you a really good peace of mind. overall just a nice place for the kids to be the area is really quiet and safe. The playground is very spacious which I think it’s a great thing so the kids can run around safely. Would 100% recommend this school.”

“We enrolled our daughter at Kiddie Academy this year, and so far the experience has been wonderful! The teachers are warm, caring, and truly attentive to each child’s needs. They have a nice curriculum where she’s learning through play, music, and creative activities. The biggest plus for us is the live surveillance and on-site meal prep which gives us peace of mind. The facility is clean, secure, and well-equipped. Her teachers Ms. Paula and Yarelin are just amazing. My daughter lights up as soon as she sees them. Ms. Paula remembers ever child's personal items which shows such great attention to detail.
Special mention of course is the site director Ms Ronnie. She is such a positive person. Always smiling and welcoming. She is willing to help and put our mind to ease whenever our daughter needs some extra love or attention some days. Overall, its been a wonderful experience!”

“My son was enrolled in another local toddler school before this and had a very negative experience. He became scared to attend school and his personality started to change. After keeping him home for two months, we were nervous to send him to another school, but thank goodness we did! Since attending TLE Hackensack, I’ve not only seen my son’s personality come back, but I’ve seen him develop a deeper love for learning. He is excited to go to school and talks about his teachers often. There is no greater feeling as a parent than knowing your child is in a safe a nurturing environment!”

“My daughter is 3 years old and has gone to All My Children for almost a year. She loves her friends and teachers and does fun activities everyday including playing in the backyard, doing art projects, and learning about different topics. Laura is a great director as well and communicates regularly with the parents. Looking forward to continuing with 3k next fall.”

The staff has always treated my kids with nothing but care, kindness, and respect—they really treat them like family. I’ve watched my children grow, learn, and feel safe here, and that means everything to me as a parent. I would absolutely recommend Academy House to any family looking for a loving and supportive environment for their children.”

“My son has been attending this daycare for the past 5 years, and I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made for him. From his very first day, the staff has treated him like family—always showing patience, kindness, and genuine care.

Over the years, I’ve watched him grow in confidence, social skills, and learning. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe, loved, and supported. They provide fun, educational activities that keep the kids engaged, while also teaching important life skills.

Communication has always been excellent—they keep me informed about his progress, daily activities, and any concerns. I’ve always felt confident dropping him off each day knowing he’s in a nurturing, positive environment.

We are so grateful for all the love, guidance, and dedication the staff has shown over the years. This daycare has truly been like a second home for my son, and we will always be thankful for the role they’ve played in his growth and happiness.

Thank you to EVERYONE”

“Our family has had a very positive experience with The Goddard School. My son attended Goddard when he was younger, and Ms. Kate was his teacher at that time. Years later, she still remembers him and greets him with a big hug whenever he comes with me to pick up his little sister. It says so much about the genuine care and love she has for her students.

My daughter is now in Ms. Kate and Ms. Toni’s classroom, and we are very grateful for both of them. They are experienced, caring, loving teachers who keep the classroom well organized and create a warm, structured, and nurturing environment for the children.

We have seen our daughter grow academically as well as socially and emotionally. She is becoming more confident, more independent, and more engaged in learning. We also feel that Goddard’s curriculum gave our son a solid foundation for his academic development, and we are glad our daughter is having the same wonderful early childhood experience.”

“Purple Circle is a time-honored joy to be a part of. I was a daycare student at PC nearly 40 years ago (!) and had such loving memories of it that my little is there now. It is full of warm, attentive, nurturing and delicious teachers and administrators, and it has created a community that will be foundational to your kid's world.”

“My child has been attending the academy for over two years, and our experience has been consistently excellent. The staff are warm, responsive, and genuinely attentive to each family’s individual needs. My son loves coming to school every day and is always happy there. We’re very grateful for the care he receives. Highly recommended!”

“As both a mom and an educator, I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ms. Alba and Ms. Jasmine at The Learning Experience in Hoboken. My almost two-year-old son is in their class, and it truly warms my heart to see the love, patience, and genuine care they show him every single day.

They create such a nurturing, engaging environment where he feels safe, happy, and excited to learn. It’s clear they take the time to understand each child individually, and that kind of attention means everything. We drop him off each morning knowing he’s in incredibly good hands, which is priceless.

We’re so grateful for everything they do!”
