Schools near Harrington Park, NJ

“Our kids have been enrolled here since 2017 and we appreciate everyone at Village. As working parents, we never had any concerns about leaving our kids in their care...and they spent more waking hours at Village than they did at home. From Christina and Kaity in the office, Sharon in the kitchen to Michelle on the afternoon/evening shift (and of course every one of the teachers along the way), we were treated like family. It truly takes a Village...”

“What a wonderful experience for our toddler! His teachers are loving, supportive and fun. It is a well managed operation with ample opportunity to engage with the supervisory team. Also, the center provides many fun activities for the entire family. Very pleased with all aspects of the center. Kudos to the staff!”

“Kindergarten ReadyMy daughter attended TLE in Englewood Cliffs from ages 1 to 4 years old. She has grown a great deal socially and academically in those crucial years. She graduated and I am thoroughly pleased with her kindergarten readiness!No daycare is perfect but I do believe they try. Issues were addressed timely and with satisfactory resolution. When I dropped my daughter off, I felt she was in a safe space and that is most comforting for a working parent. I would recommend TLE in Englewood Cliffs!”

“I've had two kids attend this school and I don't believe I could have found a better place, locally or regionally. The teachers and staff have been, and are still viewed as a second family by my children and the care and education they're received is unparalleled. My wife and I cannot thank everyone working at Yearling enough for everything they've done for us!! We're truly grateful for you dedication, professionalism and the unconditional love our children received each and every day.”

“As a new mom, I have never been more nervous than leaving my child in someone else's care. Cadence Academy, Paramus has relieved me of those nerves by showing care and kindness to not only me, but my child. I know he is in great hands when in the infant room and I couldn't be more appreciative. I LOVE the new app that connects us to his daily activities and keeps me up to date when I can't be there myself. Thank you so much to his teachers and the staff at Cadence Academy!”

“I cannot speak highly enough about Palisades Preschool (“PPS”)! My 6 year old son graduated from PPS last year and it’s become even more evident now, after having him in public school this year, how incredibly exceptional PPS is!Palisades Preschool is a warm and nurturing environment; the teachers are creative and patient, and the curriculum is highly effective (we enrolled our son in Kumon at the beginning of kindergarten and he tested at a first grade level on day 1)!Staff turnover is non-existent, which means the staff loves PPS and each other as much as they love the students. This brought so much comfort to me, knowing I could rely on their long standing reputation as well as consistency from day to day.PPS has always been so accommodating - whenever I have a question or need something, they are responsive and go above and beyond to be helpful. We never feel like we’re just a number - quite the opposite actually…we feel like we’re part of the PPS family!I forgot to mention, that my son who is thriving socially, academically and emotionally, was not speaking when he started at PPS and even qualified for early intervention. He never ended up receiving early intervention therapy from the state due to COVID lockdown, but he went on to speak by the time he was 2.5 years old and thrive in all aspects of school - thanks to his incredible teachers in the toddler room (and all throughout his time there).I wholeheartedly believe that the solid foundation my son built at PPS set him up for a bright academic future! Naturally, we cannot wait for our youngest to start school next month in the toddler room!Look no further than Palisades Preschool - truly, nothing can compare! ❤️”

“We moved to NJ temporary for 3 months, we had to find a daycare for my 4 year old son and 2 years old daughter, the process was easy and fast. This is a Gem, the sweetest personal you will ever find, they really care about kids and family.Pros: they are open all the time, daily pictures, different activities, family oriented, kids enjoyed it, they are super clean, they really care about the kids, all the food are included (extra fee)Cons: We moved out and we can’t find anything like this place”

“My daughter LOVES small world. The staff made her and me feel comfortable from day one. They are nurturing, friendly, and professional. Viva the director is hands on and always available. They have a phenomenal curriculum and I HIGHLY recommend their daycare program. Thank you for all that you do ❤️”

“The Co-op Nursery School of Ridgewood has been such a comforting and positive experience for my family. As first-time parents, finding the best fit for you and your child can be nerve wracking. The co-op checked all our boxes for professional and engaging teachers and staff, safety, cleanliness, and parent involvement. My daughter loves attending class and learning in a play-based environment. The Co-op community truly feels like extended family.”

“My daughter just graduated prek4 today and sending her to appletree was the best decision I made! Im just mad at myself for not sending her sooner! Ms.Glynnis and Ms.Jazmin are just the best teacher ever. My daughter learned so much and her English improved significantly in such a short period of time. All the teachers and staff are so loving and caring. ❤️ Looking forward to the summer camp!”

“We recently moved our boys to TLE river vale from a negative experience with a different chain daycare and my husband and I wish we would've made the move sooner! Our 3 year old and 1 year old have been there for about 2 months, and we've seen such a difference in the care and our children's overall wellbeing since then. Our eldest is in the Twaddlers class with Ms. Vanessa & Ms. Debbie, and our youngest is in the infant class with Ms. Lina & Ms. Lois. Every single one for their staff is incredible, there is clear and open communication, we see the same staff day in and day out in all of the rooms. Our boys are happy everyday at drop off and pick up, I could not ask for a better place to trust my kids with. We live in Waldwick and travel 20 minutes to and from, and although there is a TLE in our town, I don't think they can compare to River vale!”

“I feel in love with the entire building my child has been attending for 2 years and even until this day I have a hard time taking her home because she doesn't want to leave. the love and affection that she receives from her previous teachers until now with her current teacher it's just amazing, I love how Ms Natalie it's so caring and lovely with all the kids and you can see it when your kids don't want to leave the classroom that all they are receiving is genuine love and affection.”

“Our son is the second child that has attended The Little Red because we were so impressed with Anna a few years ago when our daughter was there. His verbal, behavioral and social skills have advanced incredibly since September. He is always talking about his friends, Mrs. M/Ms. Noelle and all of the things he has done that day. Anna has a different weekly theme which includes stories, arts and crafts, sensory bin, etc. The children not only work on their communication and behavioral skills, but also gross and fine motor skills as well. The class size is small with 6 children per 2 adults which allows the children to connect with each other and enhance their learning. Anna is also wonderful with potty training and will give advice on any issues/concerns you may have with your childs learning/behavior. We are sad that the school year is coming to an end because it means that our family’s time is up with Anna. I would not hesitate recommending TLR to anyone as it is a caring and enriching environment for your child.”

“Red Owl, where my 4-year-old attends, is truly exceptional. The dedicated teachers and staff create an enriching environment that fosters both learning and genuine care. Their commitment to nurturing young minds goes beyond the ordinary, making it a place where my child not only learns but also flourishes. I am consistently impressed by the creativity, patience, and passion exhibited by the team at Red Owl, making it a truly remarkable center for early childhood education.”

“I highly recommend All about me for its exceptional nurturing environment and enriching educational experience. Mrs. Sri and Miss Pearl played crucial roles in creating a warm atmosphere, fostering both academic and emotional development for my child. The curriculum promotes holistic growth, and the teachers maintain excellent communication with parents. Their commitment to addressing both the child's and the family's needs sets this center apart, making it an excellent choice for early learners.”

“THE BEST!Erika and the teachers do an amazing job at making you feel like you’re home. My daughter has been there for a little over a year now and it has been such an incredible experience. We heard about LTNS through friends in town who also raved about it. Everyone is warm and welcoming, the classrooms and halls are bright, and the app is always updated! I love receiving pictures and notifications all day long about what is going on. I feel like my daughter has learned so much in such a short amount of time. I know that Miss. Erika and all of her teachers love my baby as much as I do. Knowing your child is safe, cared for, and happy is all that matters. We are so grateful to have them!”

“Peace through Play is a magical place. I wish that I had the opportunity to go to such a great nursery school when I was a kid. They have a great private outdoor space where the kids can have fun and just be kids. My daughter loves to do artwork and they had so much for her to do there. She would come home each day excited to show us her new yoga moves and sing the songs she learned each day. My daughter really opened up during her time there and made great friends. Even being there all day she would still complain that she wanted to say when it was time to take her home.They offer affordable prices with a long schedule which is amazing for working parents. Miss Elisa does an excellent job, along with all of the other teachers and staff. They have a great culture there and all support each other. There was never a single issue during my time there.We went out of our way to keep our daughter in PTP even when we moved and it was no longer convenient. I can not recommend PTP enough!”

“To have to hear such a story. It’s understandable when it comes to our kids we become very protected. This is because she didn’t answer a question. My child had Ms Alicia as a teacher. My son was always happy and excited to be in her class. She was always welcoming, fun and very nurturing. We had a great experience with her.”

“After trial and error of attending several summer camps, my son has attended this summer camp for 4 summer’s (including this summer). In short, best summer camp, ever! There is a reason all the slots are taken by February of each year. The camp counselors, the campers, the activities, the animals, the field trips all make this camp the best in the region, if not the state.”

“The Learning Experience at Tenafly has been great for my daughter, who has truly grew and evolved while attending their preschool program. When we first started she was 3-years old! Now she is four and will be starting Kindergarten in September. I believe that she is well prepared for kindergarten! She is reading, writing, and our conversations reveal just how much she has learned at TLE. I am so happy with the foundational skills she has gained here. TLE at Tenafly has set a foundational basis for what I expect from my child's schooling experience. I will forever appreciate what Jill, Gabby, and the staff have done during our time. I also want to thank her preschool teachers! I would like to especially thank Ms. Pam, who taught her how to write. I believe anyone who attends will be very happy with the care they receive for their child, from infants all the way to Pre-k! A very special place!”

“I would give this school 10 stars if I could. Sending my child to this school was the best decision we ever made. The school really fosters a sense of community. The teachers are so warm and nurturing, and they really get to know your children, almost to the T. My child looks forward to school every day and even loves Mondays! The projects she comes home with are so unique and nothing like I’ve seen before at other schools. I love hearing stories of her day at school and all of the interesting things she learned and played with. My child has developed so much since attending the school, and her imagination has skyrocketed. If you’re looking for a preschool for your child, you really should visit this school.”

“Gan Iris Nursery is truly home away from home for my daughter. My daughter started there as soon as she turned one and we couldn’t be any happier. They do so many activities with the babies/ kids! The director and the staff are truly caring. Your child definitely wouldn’t just be another number there. They are very personable and family oriented. It’s also recently renovated and kept meticulously clean. They even offer homemade lunch made at the facility ! Gan Iris Nursery School will NOT disappoint!”

“Yoga Therapy Course is an easily understood and very informative way to understand how to help myself heal and how to help others. Body systems are studied scientifically and also with Eastern holistic self-healing. In depth with science based research and medical understanding of physical and mental health, instruction is covered with experience based application as we moved our bodies. Very applicable to incorporate in my daily life to improve my health. Coaching flows to systematically observe as we help others. Listening to Master Bama Kim assist each participant reflected how this practice can be applied to help many people including ourselves.”

“What could I ever say about this school ??amazing school, amazing principal, amazing staff, amazing teachers. They are helpful. Your child in this school in a safe hands.”

“I wanted to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude for the past three years that my child has been a part of your school. The support and understanding extended to us during my lowest points were truly appreciated. Your school provided a nurturing and inclusive environment that made my child early educational experience memorable.I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I have been with the exceptional staff at your school. Each and every one of them has shown genuine care and concern for my well-being and development. From the teachers to the administrative staff, their dedication and professionalism have made a lasting positive impact on Bria's educational journey. I am grateful for the personal attention she received and the encouragement that helped her grow and thrive.Your school's commitment to providing an excellent learning environment is unparalleled, and I firmly believe that my child has thrived under your guidance. The comprehensive curriculum, enriching activities, and the emphasis on development have contributed to her growth and love for learning. I have witnessed her confidence and enthusiasm blossom during her time at your school. Once again thank you!”

“Days of Wonder Childcare Program is the best full day program offered in the Rivertowns. We consider them our extended family. Our children have thrived in their programs. They not only take the time to get to know your children but the experiences they offer are invaluable. The teachers are so loving and truly bond with each child. It is very reassuring to know that you are leaving your children with staff that LOVE them. I can't say enough to praise the wonderful staff and program at Days of Wonder. We love you!”

“It is a nice place , you find a lot of things to do if you become a member , after school classes are complementary and you have to pay for them . Really great service and high security . It’s got outdoor pools and indoor as well . Basketball court , tennis court , and gym . Just to name some amenities. Parking is big but in rush hours is sometimes is hard to find an spot or way far from the entrance . Overall really nice place”

“My 3 year old has been going here for about 1.5 year, all his teachers have been great and have fostered a playful learning environment for him. He always looks forward to going to Kindercare and has a special bond with the staff and his classmates. I love their app that updates you throughout the day with pictures and notes, which really helped when he was starting his daycare journey. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for childcare services!”

“This is a wonderful preschool staffed by incredible therapists and teachers. The atmosphere is full of joy which is so important for young children. Children look forward to coming to school! Highly recommended!”
