Schools near Long Valley, NJ

“The Learning Experience is definitely the BEST daycare in the area. My 3.5 year old son has been thru several daycares (Goddard, Lightbridge, Apple Montessori) and TLE is superior to all. First of all, the facility is so clean, inviting and stimulating for the kids. The kids are always engaged with projects and the class time is structured. The teachers and staff at TLE have been SO great to my son and work together with us to implement a plan to have him succeed. They are warm, friendly and give us daily updates. My son previously “did not want to go to school” at his former schools, but now wakes up happy and eager to get dressed and to go to school. As parents this makes us so happy ?”

“Our son has been going to KinderCare in Mt. Olive for about a year now and he loves it. All the teachers and staff are excellent, specifically Miss Ann Marie and Miss Kristyn in the toddlers classroom. We know how difficult toddlers can be and appreciate how patient and understanding they are. We love all the pictures and videos we get daily of the kids learning and having fun.”

“Enrolling our son, Nicholas, in Fun-n-Friends was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Not only did his confidence grow but he learned so much in the two years he was there. The entire staff was absolutely amazing. You could tell they truly care about your child. My son always looked forward to going to school. The tools he was given at FNF have prepared him so well for kindergarten. We’ll truly miss the school. Thanks again to the wonderful staff, Mrs. Keegan, Mrs. Campbell and the amazing teachers, Mrs. Schuhlein, Mrs. Tauber as well as the entire staff who made our son’s first school experience an unforgettable one. We are very grateful. I highly recommend FNF to any parent looking for a great preschool.”

“Stepping Stones has been a part of both of my kids’ lives from 9 months to 6 years old. We were so lucky to have been recommended this school, especially since having a bad experience with the previous local Bright Horizons. From our first drop off, Mrs. Scott made us feel extremely comfortable. I knew the kids were in good hands. The one on one attention she gave my son helped him develop his reading skills in prekindergarten. The entire faculty is wonderful! We are going to miss this school as my youngest enters kindergarten this September. Thank you Stepping Stones family for teaching my kids the Montessori way! We will never forget you.”

“Bright Horizons in Lebanon has been amazing since my daughter started at 6 months old. Ms. Vasavi is incredibly attentive and keeps me updated with recaps and sweet photos every day. My daughter loves her teachers, has made little friends, and enjoys the toys, snacks, and outdoor play. So grateful for the care and love she gets every day!”

“I’d like to take a minute to write a review on the Pumpkin Patch in Hackettstown where my son Arrow has attended for coming on two years now . I’m giving this rating 5 stars because that is the maximum, but deserves 10 . I want to fist address the owner Margie . Margie is a very kind , well spoken and knowledgeable daycare owner who always has a smile on her face and answers your questions or concerns personally when you have a question. Every morning when Arrow is dropped off she is there greeting the parents and never rushes you out the door . Jill works there too, and she is Margie’s daughter and you can tell right away as she shares the same qualities as her mother. Let’s address the cleanliness of this place! I will honestly say I have never seen a cleaner daycare in my life , or a place that never had an unpleasant smell or a bad day . The teachers here are all excellent people who take the time to send you nice pictures during the day on the brightwheel ap , and also answer you immediately if you have any questions or concerns. I have forgotten things, many things including lunch a couple times in the last two years . They never made me feel stupid , they just took care of it and always have extras there and don’t nickel and dime you for things . It’s odd to honestly say in two years I have zero complaints. If you’re looking to leave your child due to work, or socializing this is the place . I highly recommend The Pumpkin Patch and this place will always remain in my childhood memories and milestones for my boys . Thankyou for being such an incredible facility and I’m so happy I chose your place over any other I was looking at . Shout out to Miss Dina who has been exceptional and a teacher of favorite for my son . I never felt bad leaving him because of the interaction these women have with children. They treat these kids like their own !”

“The staff at BH are wonderful. My daughter has grown intellectually, and socially since being enrolled in their program. I know she’s getting a quality early education.”

“My son has been attending this school for almost 3.5 years - They have always been super accommodating, resourceful and welcoming! He loves to go and see his friends and teachers. I can tell he is striving in his education and he is happy to be there!”

“I went on a tour to the Bedminster facility and all I have to say is Stephanie and Stacie made me feel so comfortable as if we were family. I feel very comfortable sending my child here starting in September. The tour with Stephanie was very knowledgeable and very friendly. She answered all of my husband and myself questions. As a first time mom you want to make sure your child is comfortable and safe and I definitely feel that with Childtime.”

“My oldest son (3yrs) goes here and they are very detailed with the class syllabus, making sure to carefully go over the skills and activities that our children learn from. As a stay at home mom, I trust that they're taking good care of him. Of course any attentive parent will pay attention to and discuss their child's progress, and they know and accept this. There's a back to school night as well as child progress sessions that any parent can call in to schedule with the teachers or director. It is a bit expensive for us, but they provide outdoor time on a playground year round as well as sensory play and early intervention. They also work with various groups that help parents pay for preschool, which is how we are managing the cost. It's worth it for my family so we don't quibble on sending him there.”
