“Both of my daughters have been going to Lightbridge Academy in Mountain Lakes over the past few years and I can't say enough wonderful things about the teachers and the facility. All of the teachers have been incredible and caring with both of my girls and I appreciate all they do so much. I know it isn't easy being with young children all day, but you would never be able to tell by the professionalism and love that I have experienced at each drop off a pick up every day. By the age of 1, my daughter knew her ABC's, colors, shapes and more. It is a great place to send your children. I know they are in great hands there each day.”

“My children have only been here for about 2 weeks but oh my what an amazing school! My son is 3 and autistic daughter is 5. They show that they care for every child whether they’ve been there their whole lives or just a few days. You see the teachers love what they do and always take the time to let me know how they were for the day. If anything happens they’re quick to call me and inform me of what’s going on. You can feel the love in the school and how much everyone loves being there. The school it’s self physically is beautiful, colorful and inviting, the staff are caring and so helpful, I wish I would have found them wayyyy before. My son has had some behavioral issues that has gotten him kicked out of two daycares but here he’s engaged, focused and concentrated. Teachers are quick to redirect and not scream at them all day. I write this long review because I was holding my breath but TLE is truly a gem of a place, and even if the price might be out of your budget like it did for me, it’s so worth it knowing your kid(s) are well taken care of. Thank you to everyone at TLE.”

“My twin girls started at New Generation Learning Center (NGLC) when they were 18 months old. After surveying several facilities this one by far proved to be the best!
The clean spacious rooms, on facility kitchen, fresh healthy meal options, 24x7 camera access, attentive as well as accessible staff makes this daycare facility unique.
Ms. Jamila Ylidiz, the current director of NGLC, is positive, enthusiastic and hardworking. She maintains a one on one relationship with the children and their parents. She is open to new suggestions and ensures they are promptly implemented. She along with her staff provides a safe, warm and nurturing environment for children’s growth.They have a wide range of exciting learning activities suitable for the all round development of a child’s personality.
We as parents are impressed with Ms Jamila’s efforts to raise the standards of NGLC. Her level of commitment and dedication is commendable. We couldn’t be happier.
Thank you for all that you do!”

“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.”
“KinderCare of Denville was Liam's first daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience! Liam has been attending for over two years now, and there are days he doesn’t even want to leave because he loves it so much. The entire faculty has been incredibly caring and supportive of his growth and learning.
Special thanks to Ms. Melly, Ms. Mar, Ms. Sam, Laura, Leah, and all the amazing teachers who have made a tremendous impact on his education. Thanks to their dedication, Liam is now speaking in full sentences and learning something new every day. The teachers are attentive, nurturing, and always ensure he’s engaged in meaningful activities.
I wholeheartedly recommend KinderCare of Denville to any parent looking for a daycare that feels like a second home for their child!”

“We absolutely love this daycare!
The teachers are kind, patient, and truly care about the kids.
Our child has learned so much since starting here — not just letters and numbers, but also how to share, be kind, and express feelings.
Every day, we get updates and pictures, which makes us feel very connected.
We feel lucky to have found a place that feels safe, fun, and nurturing.
Highly recommend to any parent looking for a great daycare!”

“Bright Horizons has been absolutely amazing! The center is beautiful, spotless, and so well-run. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and truly cares about the kids. Nic and Sarah in administration are wonderful and always so accommodating. This was our third daycare experience, and it’s by far the best — I finally felt at ease dropping my child off each day. We only had a short time here due to a move, but I would return in a heartbeat. So grateful for the peace of mind they gave us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

“Very positive experience from infant 1 through Toddler 1 classroom. The directors at the school creative a positive culture and work ethic which is evident in all the staff!
Recently my daughter has been having some emotional turmoil at home with the arrival of her baby brother. The toddler classroom has continued to provide her with a safe haven of fun, play, and love.
The confidence and trust I have for the staff at the school is beyond. This week, her teacher has being giving her some extra support, and sending us frequent updates and pictures. Having this extra attention is above and beyond and my family appreciates it so much. It truly makes our life better knowing how wonderful her experience is at Primrose. I’m not surprised however, because her lead teacher is ALWAYS exceeding any expectations with her creativity and engagement
Highly recommend!”

“The staff and administration at BH are best in class; they’re supremely organized, never overwhelmed, and extremely thoughtful in how they develop each and every student. The ratios are attractive, and the development we’ve seen in such a short time has been very impressive. We’re very confident in the BH team, and will not hesitate to send our second there as well when the time comes!”
“Absolutely love The Goddard School of Denville. From the moment you tour the school, you immediately feel like you are a part of a family. My children adore their teachers and the curriculum is rigorous; I see how much they learn on a daily basis! Ms. Sarah and Ms. Tina are so incredibly easy to talk to and make the whole experience enjoyable. Goddard also has an app that allows you to see pictures throughout the day and read the daily curriculum which leaves no stone unturned. I could not imagine sending my kids anywhere else!”

“I can’t say enough good things about The Growing Place. From the moment we enrolled, we’ve felt welcomed, supported, and truly part of a community. The teachers are not only incredibly dedicated and caring (you truly feel the love!), but they also go above and beyond to make learning fun and engaging. On a personal note, my kids enjoy going to school so much that they've even asked to attend on additional days. The Growing Place is a great school and a fantastic introduction to ‘formal’ schooling. Oh, and they throw a lot of fun events and parties for the kids and parents!”
“I could not say enough good things about Bright Horizons at Giralda Farms! My 3yo is on the autism spectrum and he thrives every time he’s here. Shout out to preschool teachers Daniella and Andi. The staff are very professional, welcoming, the center itself is very clean and secure.”
“My son first came here as a baby in the world before the pandemic. The world was put on pause during the plague, but he returned a little more than a year later as a toddler. He then went on to Jr. Preschool, Preschool and Pre-K. I sit here tonight before his last day as he gets ready to go off to Kindergarten and cannot help but marvel over what a wonderful journey he has had with Carousel of Learning. He was always safe there and it was the perfect place to help him grow from baby into the big boy he is becoming. He learned so much there, made friends and had a great time. I highly recommend the team here.”

“The lady with the review about her son below is delusional. I was a parent with her. Her kid would bite everyone (kids and adults). He pushed my kid down the stairs, and constantly poked kids in the eye with 2 fingers. Everyone was afraid of him. The staff was the best. Calm, caring and dedicated.”
“I've been taking my children here since 2013. The staff is caring and they take precautions to keep the children safe. Before choosing Kings Kids, I did my research and went to see 3 other daycares. I felt so safe choosing Kings Kids and I cant say enough good things about Miss Joanne and her staff! The religious aspect is an added Bonus!!”
“Simply said... they take care of kids same way you do at home. I used be so worried, but after nearly half a year and moving from baby room to toddler room I have ZERO worries and I've seen how the teachers in both rooms interact with the kids and they are absolutely phenomenal. They are caring and nurturing. They make sure the kids are taken care of.I highly recommend this school/daycare.”
