“We’ve had such a positive experience with this daycare center since our child started at just three months old. From the very beginning, the staff has been incredibly warm, caring, and nurturing, which gave us so much peace of mind as new parents.

The environment is always clean, well-organized, and clearly maintained with great attention to detail. It’s obvious that the team takes pride in creating a safe and welcoming space for the children.

What stands out the most is how attentive and engaged the caregivers are. They truly take the time to understand each child’s needs and personality, and it shows in the way they interact with them every day.

We feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful place for our child. I would absolutely recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a loving and trustworthy environment.”

“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.”

“Watching Aarna grow at Learning Experience North Brunswick has been one of the most emotional and beautiful journeys for our family. ❤️

She has become a whole different personality here — so social, confident, active, outgoing, happy, and full of excitement every single day. As parents, there is no greater feeling than seeing your child truly flourish in an environment filled with love and care.

A huge thank you to Ms. Tiah, Ms. Jaliah, and Ms. Sue for loving Aarna like your own. The warmth, patience, hugs, encouragement, and attention you give these children leave a lifelong impact on families like ours.

Thank you to Ms. Charlotte and owner Sheetal for maintaining such a clean, beautiful, welcoming facility where children feel safe, valued, and genuinely loved.

Knowing Aarna runs into school smiling every morning says everything. We are forever grateful to have been part of the Learning Experience family. ?”

“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.”

“The staff has a very good interpersonal relationship,they use professionalism in everything they do. They have a good dedicated heart for the kids and the family members. They are such an amazing team.Ms Carol did something this morning is raining but this woman walk through the rain to get the kids from the bus stop to the classroom thus one in a million will do that.THANK YOU SO MUCH MS CAROL AND MS MARIA I can’t forget Ms Kalpo she’s always smiling to anyone she got across to. I WILL CHOOSE LIGHT BRIDGE ACADEMY ON ROUTE 27 NORTH BRUNSWICK NJ AGAIN AND AGAIN ❤️❤️❤️??.”

“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.”

“We could not be happier here. Our son has learned so much since starting in the preschool class last year. He loves all the teachers. All the staff is amazing and truly cares about the kids.”

“We have had such a wonderful experience at Inclusive Montessori. The staff is amazing, caring, attentive, and dedicated, and my child is always so happy here. The owner, Syeda Lubna Haroon, is incredibly kind, cooperative, and thoughtful. I highly recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing and supportive environment.”

“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!”

“We’ve had an amazing experience at The Goddard School of West Windsor. Our son attended full-time from infancy through kindergarten, and our daughter started as an infant and will begin Pre-K in the fall.

There’s truly no other school we would trust with our children’s early education. We even chose this location—despite it being a 15-minute drive—over another Goddard School just 2 minutes from our home, which says a lot about the quality of care here.

The on-site owners, Dawn and Stu, are incredibly involved and genuinely care about every child. The directors are open to feedback and the teachers are warm, attentive, and dedicated. Since they spend so much time with our kids during the week, trust is everything—and we’ve always felt completely confident in the care our children receive.

The school is also very welcoming and diverse, which has been important to our family.

We highly recommend The Goddard School of West Windsor to any parents looking for a nurturing, reliable, and high-quality early childhood program.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I have had a great experience with this daycare overall! The staff is friendly, caring, receptive to feedback and willing to work with parents if any concerns come up. My daughter loves her teacher and I have seen progress in her learning and development. I am happy to have found such a caring environment for my daughter.”

“Our son has been attending Sapling School since he was a year old. He is now 4 years old! This will be our child’s last year as he enters kindergarten in the fall. Sapling School has been so welcoming over the years. Ive always appreciated their transparency and active communication to the parents. They also offer extracurricular activities in the summer like sports camp, which I thought was nice for our son to stay active. I will personally miss Parent’s Night, that was a nice treat for us.?”

“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!”

“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.”

“Great school and lovely staff. My kids love going to school and they come back with a smile on their faces. The school prepares the child for the next level of education. We love Kindercapers.”

“My son attended Little Scholars for two years while 3 and 4 years old and it was truly the best experience for him and our family! Thanks to the amazing teachers he grew so much academically and emotionally. He made wonderful friendships and has such fond memories from his time there. We miss the entire Little Scholars family!”

“We’ve utilized this daycare for over two years and have had a wonderful experience! The staff is always so friendly, caring, and welcoming. Kelly and Nikki are especially wonderful—they know all the children by name and always make everyone feel welcomed. We feel confident knowing our kids are safe, happy, and well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“Goddard has been an absolute blessing for our family. From the moment you walk in the door, you can feel how loving, patient, and caring the staff truly are. Every child is known, supported, and celebrated! I highly recommend Goddard!”

“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.”

“Great school! My son went to this school has been over a year. The new owner and the Teacher are very friendly and caring. The school is very clean and new. We feel comfortable in this school.”

“Awesome Catholic church catering to nearby residents and university students. Very vibrant in all it's activities and community events. Masses in English & Spanish on all days of religious importance”

“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!”

“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.”

“We are so grateful for the love and care our child receives at TLE. The staff truly treat the children like family and provide parents with great peace of mind.

A special thank you to Ms. Jasmine and Ms. Ashley for taking such wonderful care of my little one, and to Ms. Hanisha for always being supportive, understanding, and helpful. Ms. Renu and Ms. Mary are also incredibly kind and caring.

Everyone at TLE is patient, compassionate, and dedicated. My child is happy, safe, and thriving here. I highly recommend TLE to any parent looking for a nurturing and trustworthy daycare.”

“Great and caring school…very organized and well managed. Owner-operator with great support staff. They clean daily and have a variety of things for the kids to learn and grow. Both of my kids succeeded here. Highly recommend.

Also shout out to ms melissa, ms nalini and the all the pre-k teachers!”

“We have had an absolutely wonderful experience at Lightbridge Academy. My child has been attending for over a year, and it has truly been one of the best decisions we’ve made. The environment is warm, nurturing, and engaging, and it’s clear that the teachers genuinely care about each child’s growth and happiness.

A special thank you to Mr. Syed, Mr. Oscar, and Ms. Stacey — they are incredibly loving, patient, and attentive. They create a safe and supportive space where children can learn, explore, and build confidence. My son has formed meaningful friendships and looks forward to going to school every day, which speaks volumes.

We especially love the thoughtful events the school organizes, such as “Paint and Sip,” “Parents Night Out,” and the “Read to Your Child” classroom event. These activities help build a strong sense of community and make families feel truly involved.

Overall, it has been an amazing experience. My 4-year-old loves every bit of it, and we are so grateful to be part of such a caring and dedicated school community. Highly recommend!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Primrose! From the moment I first inquired to the tour of the faculty, it was clear that the facility is truly top tier. The response time is impeccable, and the team at the Hillsborough location is absolutely incredible.

If you are looking for daycare for your infant, truly look no further. The attention to detail, the genuine attentiveness they show to each child, the cleanliness of the environment, and the consistent communication with parents are outstanding. Most importantly, they provide the peace of mind every parent hopes for when leaving their child in someone else’s care.

I highly recommend Primrose to any parent seeking a nurturing, professional, and trustworthy environment for their child.”

“We truly feel that we made the right choice with this daycare. Our son started here as an infant at 10 months old, and now at 28 months, he is happy, confident, and truly flourishing.

Every morning, he walks in with a smile—and in the evenings, he often doesn’t want to leave, which is the best sign we could ask for as parents.

We’re especially grateful for the variety of activities, the thoughtful guidance, and the genuine care provided by the team. It’s clear that the staff truly cares about each child’s development and well-being.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone—from the teachers to the admin team, the director, and the owners. You all make such a difference, and we appreciate you more than words can say. ❤️”
