“The management team at Kindercare is absolutely the best! Ms Danielle, Ms Bianca, Ms Kimmy and Ms Barbara strive in providing a safe and happy environment for our children.”

“We recently moved to the area and were overwhelmed by the school search. After touring numerous schools, Playhouse felt like a warm hug, putting our worries at ease that this would be the perfect school for our son. As the year has gone by, we have been blown away by the progress he has made, both emotionally and mentally, and how happy he is when he comes home each day. The whole staff is loving, supportive and super communicative, as well as the community of parents who are incredibly involved and reliable. We couldn’t ask for more in a school and would 1000% recommend.”

“My children have only been here for about 2 weeks but oh my what an amazing school! My son is 3 and autistic daughter is 5. They show that they care for every child whether they’ve been there their whole lives or just a few days. You see the teachers love what they do and always take the time to let me know how they were for the day. If anything happens they’re quick to call me and inform me of what’s going on. You can feel the love in the school and how much everyone loves being there. The school it’s self physically is beautiful, colorful and inviting, the staff are caring and so helpful, I wish I would have found them wayyyy before. My son has had some behavioral issues that has gotten him kicked out of two daycares but here he’s engaged, focused and concentrated. Teachers are quick to redirect and not scream at them all day. I write this long review because I was holding my breath but TLE is truly a gem of a place, and even if the price might be out of your budget like it did for me, it’s so worth it knowing your kid(s) are well taken care of. Thank you to everyone at TLE.”

“My daughter has been part of Lightbridge for the past four years, and she looks forward to going to school each day. She adores her teachers, Ms. Marie and Ms. Angel. The entire team at Lightbridge is compassionate, nurturing, and incredibly supportive. Thanks to their guidance, my daughter has gained a wealth of knowledge and is well-prepared for kindergarten.”

“After researching and visiting many daycares in Wayne , I found Primrose to be the standout option. From the moment I scheduled a tour, I had the pleasure of meeting April, who was absolutely delightful and professional in every aspect of her role. The experience from start to finish was impressive. Unfortunately, my toddler fell ill and couldn’t continue attending. However, the response to this situation truly set Primrose apart. The owner personally reached out to express her care and took every step to address our concerns, which was deeply appreciated. Nicole, too, was very sweet and handled our situation with utmost professionalism. This level of care and attention has made me seriously reconsider Primrose for my little one in the future. Their compassionate and professional approach has left a lasting impression”

“My twin girls started at New Generation Learning Center (NGLC) when they were 18 months old. After surveying several facilities this one by far proved to be the best!
The clean spacious rooms, on facility kitchen, fresh healthy meal options, 24x7 camera access, attentive as well as accessible staff makes this daycare facility unique.
Ms. Jamila Ylidiz, the current director of NGLC, is positive, enthusiastic and hardworking. She maintains a one on one relationship with the children and their parents. She is open to new suggestions and ensures they are promptly implemented. She along with her staff provides a safe, warm and nurturing environment for children’s growth.They have a wide range of exciting learning activities suitable for the all round development of a child’s personality.
We as parents are impressed with Ms Jamila’s efforts to raise the standards of NGLC. Her level of commitment and dedication is commendable. We couldn’t be happier.
Thank you for all that you do!”

“We absolutely love the Goddard School of West Orange! Our oldest has been there since they opened and has learned a great deal. We are fully confident she will be very well prepared for kindergarten in the fall! Our second child has also been there for a year and half and is doing amazing. Not only have both of our children learned a great deal and have developed excellent social skills but they are truly loved by all of the teachers/staff at the school. It feels like a family and we couldn't be happier with our experience at Goddard West Orange!”

“If you are looking for PEACE OF MIND in a preschool/ daycare for your child/children, look no further than RMS Bloomfield. As two full-time working, parents, my husband and I are thrilled and extremely satisfied with the care our children are receiving here for the past soon to be 3 years. They provide an ultra safe, clean, fun and engaging environment and we truly feel that our children are being loved in our place during the day! Not to mention, compared to others-it is reasonably priced. We so appreciate the teachers and staff and feel very grateful to have them as part of our family’s community (and lives). I’ll tell anyone who’ll listen- we love Rainbow Montessori.”

“Absolutely love Gymboree with my 1 year old, especially at this location! All of the staff is incredible, and very hands on with the kids. They have such fun classes planned where the kids can learn & explore. We look forward to going weekly, and it is truly the highlight our week. Highly recommend!!!”

“Finding a school for your young child can be a stressful experience. You're entrusting people you may not know with taking care of your kid during some of their most formative years. Orchard School has been absolutely tremendous.We came to them after a negative experience at a chain daycare for our then-6-month-old. The difference was immediate - rather than crying when dropping her off, she would crawl to her teachers and wouldn't want to come home when we came to pick her up. Her growth since joining the 0-5 y/o class has been astonishing. We've enjoyed watching her become a part of the group - the older kids watch out for and play with the younger ones with a care that reminds us of siblings.The teachers do a great job combining play with educational enrichment activities, and the property has a delightful array of spaces for the kids to enjoy, ranging from a ball pit to a pool to mini-rooms with tiny furniture to a track for biking. The staff is super flexible and understanding; it feels like we have true partners in our child's care and understanding.The most important thing I have to say about Orchard is that its staff sees the kids for who they are. They understand each kid is an individual with their own personality and needs, and they do everything they can to encourage each child to be the best version of themself. Our daughter (now 18 months) is growing into a wonderful little person, and Orchard School has played a huge part.”

“I can say that I was extremely nervous to step into a classroom setting for the very first time. I wondered if I would be a good fit and if I had anything valuable to give growing and impressionable future leaders. When I started Primrose, I was taken in immediately as if I’ve always been there. I appreciate that administration and the teachers were so patient and understanding with me being new to a classroom setting. Before you knew it, I felt like I could take on any classroom or situation with the same grace and encouragement that I received from Primrose. I will always remember everything and I will always appreciate Primrose, so thank you for the experience and thank you for making me feel included.”

“We absolutely love this daycare!
The teachers are kind, patient, and truly care about the kids.
Our child has learned so much since starting here — not just letters and numbers, but also how to share, be kind, and express feelings.
Every day, we get updates and pictures, which makes us feel very connected.
We feel lucky to have found a place that feels safe, fun, and nurturing.
Highly recommend to any parent looking for a great daycare!”

“If I could add a sixth star I would. We were one of the early families enrolled and 8 years later we still talk about Miss Brittany, and so many of the staff. My 3 month old wouldn’t take a bottle but, because of their hearts, Ms Brittany would walk her up and down the halls to get her to eat. The teachers went out of their way to make my children feel welcome, loved and part of a family. Academically, my son thrives and excelled in K because of the exposure and practice in the program through crafts and FUN. You will not be disappointed with your choice.”

“We absolutely LOVE KinderCare Whippany. Our daughter is so happy there! The teachers are incredible and they have amazing lesson plans for the children. It’s safe, clean, and organized. Highly recommend!”

“We love Lightbridge Academy!! My daughter will be three and my son is one and we've been g attending Lightbridge since my daughter has been born. The staff is incredible and so caring for my children. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else!!! Highly recommend this daycare”

“Discovering School of Makeup Effects was an absolute game-changer for me... From day one, I was immersed in a world of creativity, learning from industry experts who are not only passionate about makeup but also incredibly supportive mentors. The hands-on experience and personalized guidance has empowered me to unlock my full potential as a makeup artist. If you're ready to turn your passion into a profession and embrace a journey of self-discovery, look no further. S.O.M.E. It's more than just a school; it's a transformative experience that will ignite your creativity and propel you toward your dreams. I really cannot recommend S.O.M.E. highly enough. Whether you're looking to pursue a career in makeup artistry or simply want to elevate your skills for personal enjoyment, this school is the perfect place to embark on your beauty journey. OH! and the day you get your Kit, is the best day of life!”

“My daughter been here since she’s been 1 years old and I can honestly say I love it here. It’s so much more than a preschool. The staff are amazing, kind and the sweetest in the world. They all care for the kids as if they were their own while teaching them different skills everyday. They have field trips, different events every holiday, birthday, everything… They’re literally the best of the best ! Definitely recommend !!!”

“Sending our two kids to FPNS was a great decision. They loved their time there and were well prepared for kindergarten academically and socially. The teachers are committed and loving, and the families there are a great community.”

“I love ? the teachers here. Everyone is very supportive and engaged with the children. My son started a little before turning one years old. He has progressed tremendously. I give these teachers my utmost respect because it's not easy in their line of work but the best always makes it look so easy ?. I appreciate all of your effort and commitment in teaching and supporting my son's development.”

“Absolutely love this daycare! The curriculum is fun and educational! The teachers are loving and caring. The owners are just as involved as the teachers and they are so nice! If you are looking for a preschool I would highly recommend sending your child! Couldn’t have brought my son to a better preschool! They will not disappoint!”

“We have had a wonderful summer at MMO’s camp and are eager for our daughter to start the full time program in the fall. It has been a wonderful, loving environment with lots of fun activities. Our daughter always comes home happy and fulfilled. We would highly recommend the program to anyone.”

“I used to babysit for a family who sent their kids there and loved it! Then (a feeew years later) we went for a tour when we were looking for daycare for our 1 yr old. We recognized many of the same teachers there, and that was such a great sign!! So now our daughter has been going there for about 6 months, and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience. LOVE love love the regular updates and open communication with the teachers and administration. And our daughter comes home happy and clean and learning new songs and sign language! Really glad with the choice we made.”

“I have had the wonderful experience of having childcare provided by Monarch, from day 1, I was impressed by the warmth and professionalism of the staff. Caregivers are kind, attentive, and dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment for children. Recommended 100%”

“The staff and administration at BH are best in class; they’re supremely organized, never overwhelmed, and extremely thoughtful in how they develop each and every student. The ratios are attractive, and the development we’ve seen in such a short time has been very impressive. We’re very confident in the BH team, and will not hesitate to send our second there as well when the time comes!”

“One of the BEST daycares I have ever encountered. Having 3 boys (ages 3 and under) I was concerned about where they would be but I instantly realized they were in great hands! The owner and staff made us feel SO incredibly welcomed and the boys instantly felt loved! If you have second thoughts, DON’T - you’ll see so much educational progress and growth in politeness and advancement in socialization skills!”

“We are absolutely thrilled with MELC! The teachers are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in our four-year-old's development. We are very happy to see our child making significant strides socially and academically. The location is highly convenient too. We're in GR and it takes less than four minutes to get to. We wholeheartedly recommend MELC to parents seeking a nurturing and academically enriching environment for their kids.”

“I have been working with Lateef Portee in JCC’s (West Orange) swim department and he is fantastic. He breaks down swimming in simple steps for adults and is very patient. Very happy that I decided to join JCC to learn swimming. Lateef rocks.”

“We send our kids here and think it's excellent. The teachers are outgoing and really help kids learn.It's clean and neat inside with lots of room for the kids to recreate. I would recommend the Goddard School ofWayne!”
