Schools in Jersey City, NJ

“Smart Start Academy on Central has been such a wonderful experience for us and our baby boy! From six months old we've entrusted this establishment to watch over our young one and they have always gone above and beyond making sure he has a great day. We always get updated on the daily events with messages and photos (some of my favorite photos we have of our son were taken by the Smart Start Team). Love this place and are thankful we joined this lovely team :)”

“Kidz Inn is a great daycare. Our child has been attending the Pre-K 3 class, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Ms. Amanda, the teacher, is truly outstanding. Her dedication, patience, and creativity make every day special for the children. She creates a nurturing and stimulating environment where kids thrive. I highly recommend Kidz Inn and Ms. Amanda (and Ms Naheed) to any parent looking for a caring and enriching preschool experience for their child.”

“My children are so happy here. The staff is caring, attentive and genuinely want to see the children do well. They offer events for the parents throughout the year and activities for parents to participate in with their children’s classes. Thank you for all you do! Highly recommend.”

“We are thrilled to be part of the Scandi family. This is an amazing school in every way. Our daughter has been attending Scandi for three years and we plan to send our son in the fall. Our daughter looks forward to school every day and never stops talking about all the fun stuff she does with her friends. Our daughter has been taught to be her own little independent and confident person. Scandi has also become our second home with it’s diverse and interesting community.”

“It is the best place to take care of my children my oldest child was there from 3 years old to 5 and now there is my 1 year old baby, they take good care of them, the teachers and all the staff are very affectionate. The social workers and nurses that I have had are sweet. My child loves coming to his care and loves his teachers and that makes me see how well they take care of him. I thank you with all my heart there will not be a place where I feel safer and that is why I have not moved, I have found other apartments that are cheaper and more modern than where I lived but in union city or other places and I prefer to stay here just because I know my child is well taken care of ❤️ ”

“Bergen-Lafayette Montessori school is absolutely incredible. We sent my daughter there when she was 15 months old and she was enrolled until we moved out of Jersey City when she was 3. Our son also started there at six months in the infant room before we moved. The teachers are loving, caring, and attentive. This is a legit Montessori education that is truly transformative - what my daughter was able to learn and accomplish at such a young age, and the independence she gained from attending this school has authentically shaped who she is today. The infant room teachers cared for my son deeply and supported his transition from being home from maternity leave to going to school. They were also excellent partners while we worked on potty training for my daughter. This place also builds community in a beautiful way, with many opportunities to get together at the school site and have fun together. My daughter has made lifelong friendships and the parents that I've been able to connect with are warm and welcoming. We would have stayed if we hadn't bought a house in another town, but I still bring the kids up to attend school related events (as they are open to alums of the school), and my daughter still says that BLMS was her favorite school (she's four now).”

“Best caregiver ever! GOAT. They took the best care of my baby when he was 3 months old. He was super happy. All teachers are nice and dedicated. Best Bright Horizons caregiver in JC.”
