“I couldn’t be more pleased with our experience at Kiddie Academy of Robbinsville. From the moment you walk through the doors, you are welcomed with so much love and care. The attention to detail, engaging activities, and opportunities provided for our daughter have been nothing short of spectacular. Each staff member who has worked with her holds a very special place in our hearts. We are so grateful for the nurturing environment they’ve created and the dedication they show every single day.”

“My son started attending this daycare in late October, shortly after turning four, and my daughter started in March, shortly after turning two. Overall, we have had a very positive experience.

One thing I have especially appreciated is the staff's understanding, flexibility, and communication when unexpected situations arise. It is reassuring to know they are willing to work with families and provide support when needed.

The transition from our previous daycare was a big adjustment for our family, and the staff made the process much easier. They took the time to answer my questions, address my concerns, and help us feel comfortable every step of the way. Trusting your children with people you do not know well is never easy, so their kindness and support meant a lot to us.

I also appreciate the events and activities they host throughout the year. The children enjoy them, and it is nice to have opportunities for families to be involved and connected to the daycare community.

I have also enjoyed seeing both of my children learn and grow here. My son's teachers have been willing to provide more challenging work when requested, and my daughter's teachers have been supportive and consistent with her potty training, helping reinforce the routines we use at home. The staff is always approachable and willing to help whenever I have questions or concerns.

Something else I appreciate is the positive atmosphere among the staff. There seems to be a genuine sense of teamwork, and that kindness and care carry over into their interactions with the children. Most importantly, I feel confident that my children are well cared for, happy, and excited to be there. We are grateful for everything they do and look forward to continuing our time here. Based on our experience, I would gladly recommend this daycare to other families looking for a caring, supportive, and engaging environment for their children.”

“We had a wonderful tour with Alica and were so impressed by the warmth of all the instructors we met, along with the detailed and well-thought out curriculum. We are so excited for our children to enroll here!”

“Very happy with their service. My daughter has been going here for three weeks now and hasn’t missed a single day or gotten sick. I’m a very picky parent when it comes to childcare—this is her third daycare—and I finally feel at ease. The director and staff truly pay attention and treat each child as an individual with their own personality and needs. You can feel the care the moment you walk in.”

“As I reflect on 2025 and look at pictures of my growing daughter, I can’t help but smile at all of the pictures we have at our favorite place - Gymboree.

She is 2.5 years old now, but we started coming here last Winter, shortly after she began running around and needing more stimulation. Although shy and reserved at times, she has truly come out of her shell here. I can’t thank the owner and staff enough for the care they put into our kids.

We started our journey in the runners class, moved up to the explorers class, and more recently have began gentle separation in the PreK steps classroom as well. Due to the varying classes including those for mixed ages/abilities, I have been able to have many “play-dates” with friends who have little ones of all ages. We celebrated our daughter’s 2nd birthday this past year and all of the parents raved about how much fun their children had.

My daughter requests to come here daily and this has truly become our home away from home!”

“PNS is an extended part of my family. I found this school a few years ago while on the hunt for quality and affordable childcare. I loved reading the positive reviews which made me call and get a tour of the school. The director and overall staff made me feel like I made the right decision for my child's preschool experience.The staff does a great job with communication and giving updates of your child throughout the day. I loved the activities that were offered. I enjoyed how inclusive the school was. In addition I appreciated the safety and security measures. My child was able to take swim classes and go on field trips during the spring/summer. Each week there was fresh produce and bakery goods donated by local businesses for families in need. For the holidays there were incentives that really helped the families throughout the school as well. If you're in the area, please check out this school and learn about the history behind the school. I always mention pns when I come across local mothers who need childcare.”

“I cannot say enough about how much we love the teachers at Lightbridge East Windsor. My daughter has been at this daycare for almost three years now and my son just started in March. Over the years my daughter has had outstanding teachers in every classroom that she’s been in. She absolutely adored Ms. Kayla and Ms. Tori in Purple, and had a blast with Ms. Hanifa in Orange. Her current teacher, Ms. Molly, is outstanding; she’s so kind and has the best temperament. I feel like my daughter’s days in Yellow are the perfect combination of fun and learning. There have also been some core favorites like the fabulous Ms. Faina that have been with her over the years. My son’s teachers in the infant room (Ms. Bridget, Ms. Sophonie, & Ms. H) are so engaging and nurturing. It’s a tremendous comfort knowing my baby is in such competent, warm hands. A number of the teachers have been at the school since my daughter started, which says a lot about their retention! The leadership (Ms. Josephine, Dr. Courtney & Ms. Jocelyn) are very hands-on and present. I constantly see them in the classrooms interacting with kids throughout the day, which I love. Any time that we have had a concern about my daughter they have been responsive and worked with us to provide the best care. What will always stand out to me the most is how much the teachers LOVE my kids. With how much time they spend at daycare, you don’t want your kids to just be watched, you want them to be loved. It’s the most reassuring feeling to know that my kids spend their days surrounded by people who genuinely care about them. They are my children’s village, which is priceless to us.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Goddard School in Skillman! From the moment our son started attending, we’ve seen tremendous growth in his confidence, social skills, and love for learning. The teachers and staff are nurturing, professional, and truly dedicated to each child’s development.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, blending play-based learning with strong academic foundations. Every day, our son comes home excited to share what he’s learned — from science experiments to storytime adventures. The communication from the school is also outstanding, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way.

We’re so grateful for the warm, safe, and enriching environment Goddard Skillman provides. It has been the perfect first step in our son’s educational journey!”

“We have had such a wonderful experience at this school! Ms. Maggie, Ms. Nikole, and Ms. Italia in the infant room are incredibly kind, caring, and truly loving teachers. Every morning, Ms. Maggie greets my daughter with so much excitement and warmth, which gives me such peace of mind at drop-off.

I also truly appreciate how all three teachers take the time each day to talk with me about how my daughter’s day went. I never feel rushed, and their communication and genuine care mean so much to our family.

It is clear how much they love and support the children, and we are so grateful to have our daughter in their care. Thank you for everything you do!”

“Been so happy with our experience with Bright Horizons. Teachers are wonderful and Director is fantastic. Place is always clean, welcoming, and has a calmness that we did not find touring other day cares. We are so happy we found Bright Horizons for our family!”

“I can’t imagine a better daycare than Edgebrook KinderCare. Every teacher and staff member is kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to the children. Miss Crystal is exceptional—she goes above and beyond every day, teaching not only academics but also life skills and positivity. Miss Vicki, the director, is incredibly responsive and always ready to help with any questions or concerns. We couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing experience. I have no words to express my gratitude towards such excellent and knowledgeable teachers especially, Miss Ritu, Miss Pihu and Miss Manisha. They really have a great experience to handle kids, teach them good manners, reading, writing and what not. My child misses them a lot and talks most of the time about them. Me and my husband are very grateful that we enrolled him at Lightbridge. I would 100 percent recommend this child care. Thank you a lot lovely teachers ?”

“This is the best day care! My daughter went here from 6 months to 4 years old. I transferred her from another facility where we had a bad experience and it was the best decision from the start. The staff is so warm and loving. I’ve never had no concerns! It’s clean and managed very well. My daughter was sick only once with an ear infection. I share this because with the other school there was always something that had me concerned about their cleanliness. My daughter has learned so much, but most importantly, they continued to instill kindness and good manners. I will miss this school and the teachers!”

“We are thrilled with the services and support provided by the Goddard School.The teachers are true partners in child development. The daily reports and photos help us as parents to understand our child's development more completely. We also deeply appreciate the kindness and warmth of the staff- it means the world to us.”

“This is a wonderful preschool for my Grandson. His teacher Miss Christina is very patient with him and I can tell she is passionate about her job! She cares for all the children equally. Also I love the way the school is ran and the different classes and programs they have to offer. Miss Danielle does such a great job with putting that school together as the Director. If you are looking for a place you could trust with your children, do not hesitate to bring them here. Even in the baby room, those teachers are A + and treat every single baby with so much care and compassion.”

“I was responsible for my friend’s keys while he was getting married at this church. I left them in the pews by mistake and we didn’t realize they were missing until he was on his honeymoon. This caused a lot of stress and put a great strain on our friendship. The kind and caring staff here helped me locate the keys, which was the first step in rebuilding our damaged relationship.”

“This school is a rare gem. This was our 3 year olds first time in any school, and he THRIVED! The teachers are all so warm and welcoming, and very engaged with the students. It is a true community that you build being involved with Cherry Hill Nursery School. The staff is amazing, and most teachers and staff were at one point parents of students, so they are very invested in the wellbeing of the children here. We intentionally skipped out on the public preK this year so he could finish out with Cherry Hill. Truly could not recommend this school more for littles starting out in PreK!”

“A gem of a little preschool nestled in Rocky Hill’s historic schoolhouse building. We felt really lucky that we were able to secure a place for our daughter here we when she was three. Nurturing teachers who fill the childrens’ days with creative activities and lots of fun play, our daughter absolutely loved her time here and, being a coop, it felt really special to be able to directly witness this part of her life/development on days helping out in the classroom.”

“This daycare is easily the best decision my husband and I made. Pam put us at ease from the very first day our son attended. We were already so nervous about switching daycares as we just moved to the area and we knew the transition would be tough for our son who had made so many friends in his previous school. I was nearly in tears the first day we dropped him off. Pam stayed with him to get him adjusted to the classroom and even checked in with me to let me know how he was doing. I love that at kiddie academy, our child isn’t just one of the many kids who attend this daycare. Many of the staff members know my son by first name and greet him whenever they see him. You can tell how much they care for each and every child in this school. I read countless reviews when deciding on a daycare for my child. I had literally lost sleep researching all the daycares in the area and reading reviews from other parents. I knew after we toured kiddie academy Hamilton that this is where our son would excel. He’s been attending for a few short months but WOW, we have seen such a huge change in him! He speaks more at home, has picked up so many new words and phrases and our once VERY picky eater (who would only eat goldfish and teddy grahams) was eating nutritious meals provided daily by the school and using utensils! Thank you kiddie academy Hamilton for giving our boy so much love and attention. We have nothing but praise for this school and the wonderful staff ?”

“After exploring many preschools in the area, we could not be more pleased that we chose DNPCCNS for our children. They have blossomed in the nurturing and enriching classroom environments created by the teachers. Each day, they run into school with huge smiles on their faces. The teachers and staff truly go above and beyond to meet the social-emotional and academic needs of each student. All of the head teachers are experienced and state certified. There is also a strong sense of community among the families, and there are various student events throughout the year to help foster these relationships. We are so grateful for everything DNPCCNS has done for our family. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm and caring preschool that also prepares children for future success in elementary school.”

“My daughter's and I had the most wonderful experience attending Kids Corner. We still drop in when in the area to say hi. I recommend kids corner to everyone in need of child care.”

“My daughter has been at this school for years and she's a handful lol. Mrs.Vijay was my favorite teacher & she is beautiful inside and out. She is a very sweet and patient teacher and she is the best teacher I have ever encountered. My 5 yr old has came home better and Mrs.Vijay has taken care of my daughter as her own. I will always be grateful of her, she is a one of a kind teacher.”

“We absolutely love this school for our son! Owner, Lynn & Director, Holly are so sweet and welcoming. All the teachers are so kind and wonderful with the children. My son is 2 years old and started at 5 months old. I absolutely love everything about this school!”

“Montessori connection has been “home away from Home” for my child. We started him when he was 8 months old and we plan to continue till he goes to kindergarten (he is 4.5 now). The teachers are attentive, kind and provide an environment conducive to your child’s growth. I am more than satisfied with the care and education they have provided and continue to provide to my child. Thank you all for taking care of him and his needs like I would.”

“KA of Monroe is a wonderful place. Sonica and the staff are attentive, responsive, and kind. I feel they truly care for my son. My child feels so at home here - thank you KA of Monroe”

“The teachers and staff are amazing. They put so much effort in taking care of my little one. I’ve seen how much my daughter has grown and I can say the same when my son came to this daycare. Your child will be in the best care.”

“The staff at this childcare center are truly wonderful. It’s clear they genuinely care for and love each child as if they were their own. They are patient, attentive, and always so warm and welcoming. I have complete peace of mind knowing my child is in such a nurturing and supportive environment every day. We are so grateful for the love and dedication they show.”
