“After looking at several daycares in the surrounding area, I am so glad we chose TLE! It is so evident that the teachers truly care about my son and each child in the classroom. It makes me very happy to drop my child off and see how happy he is to see his teachers and friends. I would highly recommend the learning experience!”

“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.”

“I can't recommend highly enough Learning Ladders as one of the best day care centers in the Jersey City area. My children have been attending this daycare for over two years now and have far exceeded my expectations for learning and social development. The teachers are wonderful and provide an extremely stimulative learning environment for the children to prosper in my view. Additionally, the added community support from other parents has been phenomenal. This place is worth an inquiry for children 5 years or younger of age.”

“My son started attending shortly after he turned two, and we have loved it for so many reasons. The teachers are incredibly kind and professional, offering support in numerous ways. 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.”

“I just wanted to thank you for inviting me to read a story to my grandson’s class. It was such a joy to spend time with the children and see their excitement and curiosity. I truly appreciate the warm welcome and the opportunity to share that experience with them.
Thank you again for making me feel so included!”

“My kid loved going to Emma every day. Everyone there is so reliable, warm, and professional, and they truly care for the kids with love. We’re so sad he won’t be able to go to Emma anymore. We’ll miss everyone there so much! If anyone I know is looking for a daycare, I would definitely recommend Emma!”

“All About Me has been the best thing that has happened to our family. We have gone through multiple nightmares with different daycares in the area. Our biggest mistake was not coming to AAM sooner. The staff really show that they care for our son and are invested in his progress. They also work and collaborate with his therapists that come to the center, which is HUGE! Ever since he started here he began talking in full sentences within a month. More progress has been made in the 5 months he’s been here versus the previous place he was for nearly 2 years! That showed us that this is the right place for him. Thank you to all of the staff for really taking a lot of our anxiety/stress away from us and for caring so much for our boy!”

“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!”

“We love Appletree! We are so thankful of Ms Sonja, Ms Courtney, and all the lovely teachers including Ms Sophia, Ms Aster and Ms Alanna! All the administration, teachers and staff LOVE on the kiddos so much and you can tell. Our kiddo looks forward to going to “school” everyday, to play with friends, interact with teachers, and learn new things everyday. He has truly blossomed academically, socially, in his independence, and with his voice. I especially appreciate their attention to each child according to their personality and they truly nurture each child. The staff is super available and reachable for any request or concern, big and small. They never made me feel like my nuanced and anxious questions were out of the ordinary. We even referred a friend and their toddler loves it here also! If you’re in this River Edge area, do not pass on the opportunity to have your child grow at Appletree.”

“Wee Ones Club has been the perfect introduction to school for my toddler . Kara and the rest of the teachers are exceptional and I am thrilled for my daughter to continue to grow and thrive .”

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!”

“We’ve had an amazing experience at this daycare. The nursery teacher, Ms. Sue is truly outstanding! She is nurturing, caring, and incredibly attentive. Our son absolutely loves her, and it’s clear she makes a positive impact on him every day! When he transitioned to the toddler room, the process was seamless, and any minor concerns we had were addressed immediately. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and attention he receives here! We’re also incredibly grateful for the daycare director Ms. Lori, who is just as amazing. Their dedication and responsiveness truly set this daycare apart.”

“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.”

“I can't say enough great things about the learning experience in Paramus, NJ! The staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely cares for the 11 month daughter. They helped care for her since 6 month old and my daughter has no problems and clearly loves going every day. There staff goes above and beyond many times and I feel at ease knowing she's in such good hands. They provide a nurturing environment, engaging activities, and regular updates (photos throughout the day), which gives me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a safe and loving daycare! As my child transitions to the next class, I have nothing but the highest level of praise for infant teachers: Ms Georgine, Rosie, Cat, Kylie, and Katie! They are amazing teachers that really go above and beyond!”

“Cadence is an education center that nurtures, supports and encourages learning in and out of the classroom. My son has been welcomed with warm hugs and welcoming hands! I am very thankful for all the teachers, their kindness, creativity and efforts to guiding their milestones.”

“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 are very grateful for Adrianna! She has been watching our daughter, and we couldn't ask for a better caregiver.
Our daughter lights up every single morning when we drop her off. She is incredibly patient, kind, and always has a bright energy in the classroom.”

“Saint pertolemy is one of the churches that you must if ever you have a chance to be in Manhattan, it is a muster. 10. That particular afternoon I did go for piano recital of which was announced earlier in the day at the church but because of online that's how I got that bit of information. Worshiping at St. Marx is wonderful. Actually, I should have attended the 5:00 worship that he had that afternoon, which wonderful!. St. Parts is a fixture in Manhattan as well. It's a historical church. It's an Episcopal Church also to the welcomes everyone”

“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”

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.”

“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.”

“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!”
