Schools near Dunellen, NJ

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this daycare. My son has been attending for about a year now, and the experience has been incredibly positive for both of us. He is 2½ and has learned so much during his time there. I’m constantly amazed by the new words, skills, and little things he brings home from school.

The communication with the staff is excellent. They always keep me informed about what’s going on during the day, how he’s doing, and any updates I should know about. As a parent, that level of communication means so much and gives me real peace of mind.

One of my favorite things is that they even send little bits of “homework” home, which my son absolutely loves. It’s such a fun way to reinforce what he’s learning and stay connected to what they’re working on in class.

On a personal level, they were also incredibly supportive during my transition from being a stay-at-home mom to becoming a working mom. That change can be emotional, and knowing my son was in such a caring, nurturing, and engaging environment made all the difference.

I’m so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication the teachers show every day. It truly feels like a community that cares deeply about the children and their families.”

“I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Precious Gifts Daycare for my son. He has been attending since he was 5 months old, and it has been such a blessing for our family. Ms. Cheryl and Ms. Theresa are truly remarkable women and excellent caregivers. They treat every child as if they were their own, and from the first day, it felt like we were becoming part of their extended family.

They go above and beyond to keep parents informed, always sharing updates on what’s happening at school and how your child is developing. What I really appreciate is how they understand the ups and downs of parenting. If I ever forget an item, there’s no judgment – they just work with you to make sure your child is taken care of. It’s such a relief to have that kind of support.

I only wish I had discovered Precious Gifts sooner with my older children. The love and care they provide are truly one-of-a-kind. I highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a nurturing, supportive, and family-oriented environment for their little ones!”

“UCMAS is the best program for kids who start at early age, it helps with brain development and they will stand out in the crowd and their thinking power is amazing!!
My son started this program when he was 4.5 yrs during Covid before he started his Kindergarten. I still remember first class with Mrs. Saswati, the way she introduced this program to me and my son was extraordinary. He started online classes with Ms.Bhruga Patel, she is a great teacher - my son used to love working with her. Every year he grew so much and I was amazed to see how he mentally does all the math problems and earned awards at each level. He graduated during summer of 2024 and earned Grade 1 plaque.
I strongly recommend this program and encourage parents to join their kids !!”

“My son has been attending Lightbridge in Edison since December, and we are so happy with our decision. From the tour, we were impressed and knew it was the best place for our son. His teachers truly love and nurture him, and his social skills have improved tremendously. We are so grateful for the care and support he receives every day.”

“My daughter adjusted so well here. They helped us with nap transitions, self feeding. She is always happy when we leave her there. I like that all teachers are moms with decades of childcare experience and have been there for a long time. They are also very flexible with our part time schedule and work with us around major holiday breaks. I am grateful to them for taking care of our child.”

“My son has had a wonderful experience at this school. We feel confident that he is in a safe, caring, and supportive environment every day. He genuinely enjoys going to school and comes home excited to share what he has learned. The curriculum is engaging, well-rounded, and encourages both academic growth and creativity. Most importantly, he absolutely loves his teachers. They are kind, dedicated, and make learning fun. We are very happy with the school and highly recommend it to other families.”

“The staff here is truly exceptional. The teachers go above and beyond to make every child feel like family. One of our favorite features is the live-stream video access and the frequent photo updates through their app. Being able to check in during the day gives us total peace of mind. Plus, the fact that they include healthy meals and snacks.”

“My neice works here Ms Lee Lee she loves it here she tell me about all the fun activities she does with the children the staff and adnin is all about the kids! I highly recommend the Goddard school”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Little Angel’s! The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and at ease knowing our daughter was in safe, loving hands. She’s grown so much socially and emotionally, and she comes home every day with a big smile. The environment is clean, engaging, and filled with activities that support learning and creativity. We’re truly grateful for the care and dedication the entire team puts into each child’s development. Highly recommend!”

“My daughter is here since last year and so far we found every one is very helpful and co-operative. They are helping us for her potty training and whatever we asked for they try to accommodate! We have a very pleasant experience here.”

Five-Star Review for Little Genius Academy

Little Genius Academy is truly one of a kind. The staff here is more than just staff — they’re family. They care about your child in a way that you simply don’t find anywhere else. We’ve been with them since my middle son was in kindergarten, and now my youngest is graduating out this year after starting there at just six months old.

Not only is the education incredible, but the love, attention, and life lessons they give the kids are unmatched. My boys have learned so much academically, socially, and emotionally, and I can’t thank Little Genius Academy enough for helping shape them into who they are today.

We could not have chosen a better place. If you’re looking for a daycare where your child will be loved, supported, and treated like family, this is it.
Highly recommend”

“This school is so amazing!!!
My son has been attending for a while now and he loves his teacher and his friends. Ms. A does such a great job with the curriculum and parent communication.
My son has quickly picked up Spanish and sign language with the curriculum.

The staff are all so caring and I truly feel like my son is loved and cared for by every staff member!

Definitely recommend for any family looking for childcare!!!”

“My son has been going to Scotch Plains Montessori since we moved here from NYC back in September 2024 and we are so grateful! All the teachers truly love and care for these kiddos and I get peace of mind knowing they are in good hands every day.

The owner, Cristina, is also soooo knowledgeable on child development. Cristina and her team has been working with me on helping my son thrive in every aspect of his life. They make him feel safe and confident, and we are so truly grateful for this amazing team.

I can’t recommend them enough! This place is more than just a daycare. Your kid will be safe and loved by everyone here.”

“We’ve been a part of the TLE Warren family since January 2022 and there just aren’t enough wonderful things we can say about it. The facility, the staff, the teachers, everything. Our kids are so happy coming in to school each day. They enjoy learning and playing. The staff is so good at communicating each day whether it’s a phone call or email. Thanks to the app we are kept up to date on our children’s daily activities. They always have fun things planned for the kids each month and they make summer time so fun. We highly recommend this center to anyone considering it.”

“My 2.5 year old Son had a great great time.I wish I could continue.Teachers are like family to us.I will be missing them so much & my son too! All best to all.Keep growing!!”

“We’re so happy we chose TLE Edison for our daughter. The entrie process from the initial tour to our kids enrollment was very professional and welcoming. As first time parents we felt very safe entrusting our daughter in their hands.

The teachers are caring, the environment is positive and nurturing, and the curriculum really prepares kids for their next step.

The staff is always supportive and communication is great; they are very attentive when it comes to individual needs and convey each situation to the parents in a very timely and efficient manner.

The teacher to kids ratio is perfect for the amount off attention and care that is necessary for kids at this tender age. We are very lucky to have our kid enrolled in the hands of the best in business.

Highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a safe and encouraging place for their child to learn and grow; all while bringing a smile on their face!”

“An amazing school and program. All the teachers, staff, and owners are very hands on. Our child loved the school and all of the activities the school provided. We had him enrolled for close to 3 years and he was always happy to be there. He learned so much in his time there”

“I have been working with Larry for years since a major physical set back. He always has workouts that are within my limitations but still push me to get stronger. His knowledge is so expansive. He knows so much about the human body and what makes it work best. Add in his knowledge of food and you have the whole package. Larry doesn't just know all these things he lives them, making him empathetic on top of encouraging. I would highly recommend Larry to anyone looking to become more healthy!”

“We’re so happy with our son’s experience at Precious Gems Montessori . His journey has been incredibly smooth and comfortable, and it’s clear how much care and thought the teachers puts into creating a nurturing environment.
The teachers are incredibly patient with the children and truly understand how to support each child at their own pace. We’ve especially appreciated how responsive and communicative they are — it gives us peace of mind knowing that our son is in such good hands.

Special thanks to the teachers Ms.Rumana (Owner), Ms. Jessica, Ms.Maida and Ms. Sneha.”

“I was very nervous about switching schools for my toddlers, but I can confidently say this has been the best decision I could have ever made.

From the very beginning, the environment has been nothing short of exceptional. The teachers, Ms. Leyla, are incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated. The parents, the students, and the entire school community create such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease.

This is truly a nurturing environment. Positive, loving, structured, and academically focused, yet also flexible and accommodating to each child’s needs. My children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn every day, which means everything to me as a parent.

I am so grateful to be part of this community and cannot recommend this school highly enough.”

“Love the staff they’ve made the transition from home to starting school so easy. My daughter has made lots of new friends and I’m glad her social skills are excelling. They also are great when it comes to her allergies my child is very happy here!”

“My son has been going to TLE since he was 6 months old. He has grown so much here and the staff is so supportive and patient with children. If anyone is looking for a place where they want to know their kids are safe, learning, and taken care of, this is the place to be. Thank you TLE Somerset”

“Both my kids go here and love it. Director is amazing — super involved and always easy to talk to. Staff really cares about the kids and makes it feel like family. Couldn’t ask for anything more.”

“Both of our children have attended Lightbridge Academy in Fanwood since they were 4 months old, and it has been the best decision for our family. The teachers and staff are warm, loving, and incredibly supportive. Our children grow every day—learning in leaps and bounds—but what matters most to us is that their emotional well-being is cared for just as thoughtfully. That has truly made all the difference for our family. The infant classroom is our favorite, though every teacher we’ve encountered has been amazing—always welcoming and smilin and Ms. Daisy in the office is always responsive and helpful. We highly recommend Lightbridge to any parent feeling anxious about starting daycare.”

“This school has been a wonderful experience for our 3‑year‑old. The curriculum is age‑appropriate, engaging, and fun, and we’re amazed at how much our child has learned in such a short time. Ms Sharma plus all the teachers, genuinely care about each child’s development and well‑being. We especially appreciate the warm environment and the individual attention given to every student.”

“Simply the best! I Can Kids Child Care provides a warm, nurturing environment that our daughters absolutely loves. The staff is professional, the communication is excellent, and the peace of mind knowing she is in safe hands is priceless. We’ve tried other centers in the area, but nothing compares to the level of care provided here. 5 stars isn’t enough!
And special thanks for Mrs ❤️Justin❤️ who goes above and beyond she is just amazing she is iconic for Motherhood and She is a role model in educating young children.”

“I highly recommend Ms. Retika! She had been an incredible teacher—truly the best. She is exceptionally kind, caring, and affectionate with all the children, creating such a warm environment.
Beyond her nurturing nature, she is a fantastic educator; my child made wonderful progress in recognizing letters and words under her guidance. Ms. Retika also emphasizes discipline and manners while ensuring she pays individual attention to each child's specific needs. She engages the children in large range of activities that keep the children’s brains stimulated while improving their skills and ensuring they are having a lot of fun!
She maintains a great relationship with parents too, providing honest and genuine feedback. We couldn't have asked for a better teacher!”

“Our daughter attended KinderCare Piscataway for two and a half years before we moved out of New Jersey, and we cannot express enough how much we loved this daycare. She was always happy to go, and most of the teachers were truly wonderful—caring, dedicated, and affectionate. Our daughter still talks about them often.

We especially want to thank Ms. Catherine, Mr. Austin, Ms. Amina, Ms. Dihana, Ms. Sylvia, Ms. Lauren, and Ms. Carla. Each of them showed love and kindness, and we are deeply grateful that our daughter was in their care. She loved giving them hugs, and their warmth meant so much to us as parents.

We truly miss them, and our daughter especially misses Ms. Catherine and Mr. Austin, and her friends of course.”

“Our daughter went here for over 2 years and loved it! Teachers and staff are very warm, caring and deeply committed to the children's well being. They have a nice play area and have a lot of fun and educational activities indoors and outdoors. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nurturing atmosphere for their little one.”
