“We felt comfortable with this daycare from the very first tour, and that confidence has only grown since enrolling our child. He adjusted quickly, made friends, and genuinely enjoys going each day. It’s been amazing to see how much he’s learned he comes home singing new songs and can even count in another language now!

One thing we especially appreciate is the strong focus on security. This isn’t a place where just anyone can walk in, which gives us real peace of mind knowing the children are safe. Overall, we’re very happy with our experience and would highly recommend this daycare to other parents.”

“Our child is 4 years old, and we’ve been with Alphabet Alley Child Care Center for about two years, and it’s been a very positive experience for our family.

What we value most is the consistent routine and caring staff. The structure has really helped our child grow in confidence, communication, and social skills. We’ve seen steady progress over time, and our child genuinely enjoys being there, which gives us peace of mind.

The teachers are kind, patient, and attentive, and it’s clear they care about the children as individuals. Drop-offs are smooth, and our child often comes home excited to talk about the day, the activities, and their friends.

Communication with the staff has been clear and professional, and the center feels safe, organized, and well run. As working parents, having a dependable and consistent place like this has been incredibly important.

After two years, we feel confident that Alphabet Alley has provided a supportive and nurturing environment during an important stage of our child’s development, and we’re happy with the care our child receives.”

“As a new parent, you’re so overprotective of your young one. I couldn’t decide on where to send my son but I’m glad I choose The Learning Experience. My son has been here since he was 6months old and I couldn’t have chosen a better daycare. From the front desk to the classrooms, everyone is so pleasant and supportive. My son is now four years old and he loves it there, he has learned so much over the years. Each classroom he’s been in has had such a huge positive impact on his social and academic growth. I would highly recommend.”

“My little brother attended this daycare for a while. The place is very clean and safe for children. The staff is very polite and outright awesome and they really care about the kids.”

“During the last four years we have had a wonderful experience at Teddy Bear College. The teachers are attentive, supportive, and truly build great relationships with the children. It's clear they genuinely care about each child's well-being and development.

One of my favorite things is the creative and thoughtful crafts our daughter brings home. The activities are engaging and show how much effort the teachers put into making learning fun. I also love the smaller class sizes, which allow for more individualized attention and help create a close-knit, nurturing environment.

The communication with parents is outstanding. The app and technology they use are modern, easy to navigate, and keep families connected throughout the day. The staff frequently shares photos and updates, giving parents a glimpse into their child's daily experiences. They are also very conscientious about communicating important information promptly, whether it's a food allergy concern, a minor scrape, or even a sweet, compassionate moment your child shared with a classmate.

Most importantly, we always felt that our daughter was safe, happy, and cared for. Knowing our child is in a loving and supportive environment provides incredible peace of mind. I highly recommend Teddy Bear College to any family looking for a preschool that truly feels like an extension of home.”

“It’s been just two weeks of joining this family ! And to say I’m thrilled and thankful is just an understatement!
Deciding to be a part of this family is one best decision I’ve made.
I see my son thriving already and it gives me and my family much joy!

I had to withdraw my son from a daycare that couldn’t navigate how to help him thrive, using his milestone development for all sorts of excuses. But in just two weeks I see him do a lot of what they said he couldn’t do.

Blessings to Bethany, Angelina, Lynette and all in the toddler class. I hope we continue to have an awesome family experience!”

“My son has been attending TLE Riverton for one year and my baby girl for 5 months (she is in the baby room) Im thankful for the love and attention they receive here. All teachers are very polite and welcoming. We love Ms. Ashley for toddler 1 room and Ms. Rossy (baby room). Both teachers have shown genuine love and care for my babies. Words can’t describe how grateful I am with them. Dakota and Alyssa are extremely supportive and kind. Thank you for all you do for my babies”

“Our son has had an incredible experience here. He attended one year of school and camp (so far!) and he is so excited to be back for another year of school! This school provides a flexible schedule for working parents, the teachers provide great communication, and we are excited to continue here where they provide a great atmosphere helping our little kiddo to thrive, learn, and grow!”

“In a few words, this academy is phenomenal. The staff goes above and beyond for all the children. They have been nothing short of fantastic with my daughter. I would highly recommend this academy to anyone.”

“Amazing center my daughter has been going to this center since September 2025 and she was 11 months when she started she has grown tremendously im just sitting back thinking about her growth and being a teacher myself I am very pleased at the job her teachers are doing they are educating her very well and I feel that she is safe and love by staff and the director. Ms. Lisa Ms. Kate are amazing lead teachers and do there jobs very well and communicate very well and Davion is actually one of the best directors I’ve ever seen especially coming from the education field that speaks volumes and Ms. Jessica is the backbone she will always get back to you if you have any questions or concerns shout out to the whole team”

“Always a great time! Volunteers and Priest very welcoming, pleasant and friendly. Bestie and I get to feel like kids again! Parking a bit tough however look forward each year. The Mega 50-50 is a WOW factor! Enjoy and be safe, Everyone.”

“This is where you want your kids to go!
We are so lucky to have found Goddard after a few disappointing experiences at other local daycares. The staff is kind, caring and treats your kids like their own. The facility is clean and organized and staff is very responsive to any concerns/issues. The variety of activities, enrichments and lessons they provide is outstanding. My older son was extremely prepared for Kindergarten and my younger son is still in attendance and absolutely loves going every day. My boys still stop in to stay hi and visit with their old teachers, that says it all. Cannot recommend enough.”

“My son has been going here since he was 1 and I have to say it’s been an amazing experience. The teacher are hands on and very communicative. The school is very welcoming and i will definitely miss the administrators when my son takes the next steps into kindergarten.”

“This is one of the best pre school in Willingboro..The teachers are very nice and helpful..Sister Patricia was very accommodating to my family and I really appreciate her..Thank you for your support to my son.I really appreciate it.”

“We chose over the rainbow after visiting several other daycares in the area and immediately noticing the difference with OTR. The facility is bright, clean, and welcoming. My daughter has learned so much since starting daycare here and loves going to school each day. Her teachers treat her as one of their own and communicate with us often, sending updates through the day. We are so happy with our choice and thankful to have found staff that treat our daughter and us as family.”

“Right steps has been a perfect fit for my family for past 2 years. I could not ask for a better environment for my kids to learn and grow. Director is incredibly attentive and caring, and we have had a phenomenal experience with teachers across every classroom. Without a doubt, my children are well cared for, challenged, and nurtured in this environment. I'm so glad I chose Right Steps for my childcare/pre-school for my kiddos!!!”

“Bristol Kindercare is the best around, the director Krista’ is so sweet & Mr. John is the best teacher, all the teachers there are great, they go above & beyond for my son & they show so much love for him, my son has learned soo much from the teachers, I love Bristol Kindercare, I highly recommend you send your kids there, my sons been there since he was 11 months old, he’s now 3 & I wouldn’t want to put my son anywhere else, so grateful for all the staff there .”

“We toured a few different daycare centers, and they all had great programs to offer. From the moment we walked into this one, my intuition just felt right. I feel safe and secure knowing my daughter is happy and healthy in their care.

After just a couple of days, the difference in her has been incredible. When I picked her up, she ran to the car and told her dad, “Daddy! I had SO MUCH FUN!” She even said, “I had a beautiful day!” ?? She’s been so genuinely happy and positive, and it’s been amazing to see her come home glowing.

She’s talking so much more already, which I credit to the curriculum and how engaged the teachers are. It truly goes above and beyond. She’s excited to go every single day, and that says everything.

We also love the updates throughout the day. It gives us so much comfort and helps us feel connected.

We are so grateful to the teachers for being so kind, patient, and supportive. This has been such a positive experience, and we couldn’t be more thankful. Highly recommend!”

“We have been a part of the A Child's World Family for 13 years. I can not put into words how much the staff has meant to our children and our family. Our children have felt so loved and safe with the amazing staff. We are forever grateful for how much knowledge and skills they have given our children!”

“If you're looking for a safe, nurturing, and home-like environment for your children, this is truly the place. As a single-parent military family, it breaks my heart that we had to leave. The love and care the teachers show for every child is unmatched—they treat them as if they were their own.

From day one, the staff made meaningful connections with both my children and myself. Anytime I had a concern, they went above and beyond to address it with care and understanding. Ms. Rolando and Ms. Iris, in particular, are amazing. They truly listen, support, and create the kind of trust and comfort every parent hopes for when leaving their child in someone else’s care.

I could name every teacher here—my children would come home talking about them nonstop, excited to go back on Monday mornings, and sometimes even shedding tears when it was time to leave for the day. This place became more than a childcare center—it became a second home for us.

If we weren’t moving, my children would have stayed here for as long as possible. I can’t recommend this place enough. We are so grateful.”

“We’re only on week 1 in but I’ve been so pleased. Felt like I had to share ! Ms. Heather, ms. Sam, ms. Lee of the DPS classroom are amazing with updates (which has really kept
Me sane during this process since we are new to daycare. So please keep them coming) and my daughter has not wanted to leave and wakes up in the morning yelling “school time”. She’s happy. So I’m verrryyyy happy.

Allyson, the director she treats you like family. This place is awesome ❤️ so far so good! ??”

“My daughter who is almost 3 has been going to Alphabet since she turned one. At first I was nervous as any parent would be but the staff and director Olga have always made me feel better about any and all concerns I had. The staff is extremely kind and active with kids from putting on shows to coloring and day activities my daughter became obsessed with day care. The food is also great it is organic and made fresh . On the weekends my daughter always asks about day care because she is super excited to go and that makes me feel so happy with the day care I chose.”

“My son just recently starting going there, the staff is super friendly and helpful. He really seems to enjoy his time there and the people he goes with. His favorite part is the peeps in the lobby, he always hugs them on his way out and tries to take one home ?”

“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.”

“We absolutely love this daycare! The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to make sure our child feels safe, happy, and engaged. The updates, photos, and videos through the app give us peace of mind, and it’s clear how much effort they put into creating a nurturing, educational environment. The food is surprisingly great (even for picky eaters) and most importantly healthy! Highly recommend it to any parent looking for a daycare.”

“Enjoyed our time at this daycare. Miss Andrea was very helpful and knowledgeable; always made sure the kids and families had all tools and skills needed to progress in their educational journey- very satisfied with the care from her, miss steph, and the rest of the ladies. Youre all appreciated!”

“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!”

“We absolutely love Sunshine ! My oldest son attended from his early years through kindergarten, and now he is in third grade with such wonderful memories from his time there. He truly thrived in this environment, and it gave him such a strong start.

Later, my twin boys also attended, and it genuinely felt like a second home for our family. The teachers are amazing — caring, attentive, and truly invested in the children’s growth and happiness. The staff overall is wonderful, always warm, welcoming, and supportive.

My kids loved the food, the atmosphere, and looked forward to going every day. As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your children are in a place where they feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. We are so grateful for the care and dedication this daycare has shown our family over the years. Highly recommend!”

“Lightbridge is more than a school or daycare, they are a family. My children started at the school when they were 4 and 2. Like most parents, we were nervous when it came to choosing childcare, so I liked that Lightbridge Delran offers cameras with parent view. However, my son graduated from pre-k last June (2025) and my daughter still attends the pre-k program and I rarely even look at the camera. The staff has truly become an extension of our family. It is such a sigh of relief for a parent to drop their children off at school with teachers who really care and are invested in the development of the kids in their care. Shoutout to Ms. Haley and Ms. Kelly! They are the best! Because of them my son gained so much independence and confidence! I would highly recommend Lightbridge Delran to any parent in search of quality childcare.”
