“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Bright Star Academy

Bright Star Academy has been a wonderful experience for our family! My son learned so much during his time there — not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly dedicated to the children. I was so impressed with the program that I’ve now enrolled my youngest daughter too!

The staff communicates well with parents, keeps us informed, and always makes safety a top priority. It’s such a comforting feeling to know my kids are in a nurturing and secure environment. I’m beyond grateful for everything Bright Star has done for my children. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a quality preschool!”

“We had such a wonderful experience at Little Achievers ! From the very first day, the teachers made my boys feel welcome . The staff go above and beyond to communicate with parents. We’re so grateful for everything they’ve done for my boys .”

“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.”

“A Second Home for Our kids
Mickey Academy has been an absolute blessing for our family! From the moment we walked in, we felt the warmth, professionalism, and genuine care from the entire team. Ms. Jackie, Ms. Isamar, Ms. Olga, and Ms. Gaby go above and beyond every single day to create a loving, safe, and fun environment for the kids.

Our kids has grown so much—socially, emotionally, and academically—since starting here. Each day is filled with engaging activities, learning moments, and lots of smiles. What we appreciate most is how much attention and love the staff gives to every child, treating them like their own.

Communication is fantastic, and we always feel included in our kids day through updates and photos. As parents, there’s no better feeling than leaving your kids in hands you truly trust.

Thank you, Mickey Academy, for being such a wonderful part of our kids early years. We are so lucky to have you!

With love,
Ivan & Ivette”

“As a dad, nothing matters more to me than knowing my child is safe, happy, and loved—and the teachers from TLE in ER from Toddler B group, Ms. Mellany and Ms. Melinda have completely earned my trust. From day one, they’ve gone above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing environment that feels like a second home.
They don’t just watch the kids—they engage with them, teach them, comfort them, and cheer them on through every little milestone. I’ve watched my toddler grow so much socially and emotionally, and it’s 100% thanks to the amazing care and energy these teachers bring every day.
It’s clear they love what they do, and as a parent, there’s nothing more reassuring than that. Thank you for everything you do—you’ve made a huge difference in our lives.”

“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”

“We are so happy with the care our son Angad receives in the Khaki Kangaroo classroom. Ms. Ximena and Ms. Daniela are amazing—caring, patient, and attentive. 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 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!”

“My 2 children have attended since they were very small, and I truly couldn’t be happier with our experience. The staff has always treated my kids with nothing but care, kindness, and respect—they really treat them like family. I’ve watched my children grow, learn, and feel safe here, and that means everything to me as a parent. I would absolutely recommend Academy House to any family looking for a loving and supportive environment for their children.”

“Finding the right daycare was very important to us when we moved to NJ and LTA has met and exceeded our expectations. My older daughter was born in the midst of Covid and had very little interactions outside of home due to the pandemic. She was shy but adjusted so quickly when she started at LTA, thanks to the amazing staff. Ms. Mary did an amazing job making her feel loved and safe. She has developed and learned so much since joining LTA at 18 months old (now 4 years old). Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Kayla, Ms. Q, Ms. Abby and now Ms. Diana have done/are doing such a fantastic job with her.After I saw the love, attention and growth in my older daughter, I also decided to send my second daughter to LTA as well. The staff was very supportive and helping my older daughter adjust to having a sibling. I started sending my second daughter to LTA when she was 8 months. Never did I think, I will be sending my kids to daycare before they turn 1 years old. LTA creates such a loving and intimate environment for the kids. They are attentive and cator to the need of individual kids. Ms. Janice and Ms. Fatima were so so great with my younger daughter. She is now a vibrant, expressive and happy 20 month old. She recently joined Ms. Mary's and Ms. Lucy's class who are also doing a fantastic job with her.I recommend LTA to parents 200%. Thank you LTA family. You all are amazing and we are very grateful for all that you do ?”

“I put my kids there my daughter was happy and popular Everytime she come home she be like mom everybody knows me and my son was so happy Everytime they come back I love Danna daycare”

“we absolutely love miss kathleen!! she is fun, entertaining, and so welcoming. not to mention the sweetest person ever. my son has felt at home at gymboree pine brook since he started and looks forward to her classes every week ?”

“We love this daycare so much! My 3 year old is always so happy to RUN through the doors everyday. My 7 month old just started here last month! The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing, compassionate, and caring people - that truly care about every individual child. The relatively large indoor gym is key for those rainy days or any afternoon when the kids just need to play and run around with their friends. They bring optional extracurricular activities into the center such as super soccer stars, karate, and dance (for an extra cost), which is awesome to have available! I also enjoy the daily updates and pictures on what my kids are up to! We couldn’t be happier sending our kids to this school!”

“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.”

“Little Tykes Preschool is a great school with excellent teachers who create a great learning atmosphere for my son. He's learned so much since he's started attending.”

“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.”

“Having experienced other daycares and preschools with our older children, we can confidently say that MLU truly sets itself apart from the moment you walk through their doors. Beyond their impressive, state-of-the-art facility, what genuinely captivated us was their deep commitment to sharing their mission and vision for early childhood education. They thoughtfully took the time to understand and address our specific needs and concerns as parents, fostering a level of confidence in us from day one that has only grown stronger. Our entire experience since has been nothing short of exceptional.

The teachers and staff at MLU are simply phenomenal – consistently warm, incredibly patient, and profoundly dedicated to each child. What truly distinguishes MLU is not just the nurturing and loving environment they provide, but also the unparalleled sense of partnership and connection we've felt as parents. From daily updates and open communication to genuine collaboration in our son's care, we've always felt fully informed and valued.

Our son has flourished remarkably here, achieving significant milestones both academically and socially. It's evident that the teachers consistently go above and beyond, pouring their hearts into supporting each child's individual development with incredible love and personalized attention.

While it's bittersweet to be leaving, we are immensely grateful for the strong foundation, cherished memories, and incredible growth MLU has given our family. This preschool is, without a doubt, truly one of a kind and an absolute treasure for any family seeking the best for their child!”

“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 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.”

“Both my kids enrolled here and they went to super talkative from non verbs It is so great to trust Goddard family I know that my kids there are safe and teachers will do their best for them in all aspects”

“I would like to say that Tiniest Footprints is a great Early Learning & Childcare Center. We were so lucky to have found this center and enrolled one of our daughters. She attended Pre-K3 & Pre-K4. We were so pleased how prepared our daughter was once she started Kindergarten. We currently have our 1 year old attending the center and it once again we are very satisfied with the staff and how attentive they are. We recommend Tiniest Footprints 1000%.”

“I love them, my son was attending to Kids Place daycare before joining public school and he loved all his teacher and get excited every time he go back when the school is close!”

“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!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Cresthill Academy in Lyndhurst. From day one, the entire staff has made us feel confident in our decision.

A big thank you to Miss Beliza and her team for creating such a well-run, nurturing environment. The school is always spotless, the staff is incredibly caring, and the curriculum keeps our son engaged every day.

We’re especially grateful for his amazing teachers, who go above and beyond. Huge congratulations to Miss Lishayra on being named Teacher of the Year—so well deserved!

Cresthill has exceeded every expectation, and we’re truly thankful to be part of this community. Highly recommend”
