    “My children have been attending New Generation from ages 6 months-4 years old. The staff are professional, warm, and treat the children with compassion. My children have been in all level classrooms offered and they come home daily talking about how much they love their teachers and how much fun they have at daycare. The activities and academics are age appropriate and foster creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning. The center itself is clean and the food provided by the center is fresh and nutritious. The center communicates well via email and the app. I would highly recommend this daycare to other families.”

    “As our 5-year-old daughter graduates, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible three years she has spent here since age two. When she started, she was very shy, but the teachers’ constant warmth, ready smiles, and accommodating nature quickly helped her blossom. What we love most is how the school celebrates every single occasion throughout the year with wonderful, creative activities. These events kept her excited to learn and truly nurtured her overall growth. The academic focus is equally fantastic. We are so proud that she is already doing simple addition and subtraction, and has started basic reading! Her Kindergarten orientation went exceptionally well, which is a true testament to how thoroughly this school prepares children for the future. Thank you to the phenomenal staff for loving and teaching our daughter!”

    “I cannot put into words how much these ‘silly little classes’ have hyper charged my daughter’s mobility. She was walking at 10.5/11months and climbing down furniture feet first (the right way) from about 8/9 months because of the motor skills taught here. Sometimes you don’t think classes like these make a difference but you take a leap of faith anyway and OMG boy was I wrong. I’ve been going Tuesdays and Thursdays since my daughter was 6 months old. She is now 1. Also the confidence being built here is phenomenal. I saw multiple challenges she was too afraid to tackle and within a few weeks she was doing them no problem. It’s a place where they can safely get over their fears.”

    “I cannot recommend this center enough, especially for parents of children with autism. Finding a place where your child is truly understood and embraced can be a challenge, but the team here has been a godsend. ​From the moment we walk in, Alex and Juliana at the front desk set the tone. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine smiles make the transition into the day so much easier for both my son, my husband and I. They handle everything with such grace and kindness. ​A very special shout-out to his aftercare teacher, Miss Mireya. Her patience, dedication, and ability to connect with my son have been amazing to witness. She creates a supportive space where he feels safe to be himself while still learning and growing. ​The rest of the staff is equally wonderful. It’s clear that the entire team is trained, empathetic, and genuinely invested in the success of every child. Thank you all for providing such a high level of care and for treating my son like family!❤ ​”

    “Sunnyfields Learning Center is truly a special place. It provides a well-rounded curriculum at an affordable price. I applaud Sunnyfields for its strong focus on building soft skills—such as confidence and independence—alongside a balanced mix of play-based and structured learning. My daughter has been attending since she was six months old, and she is now two and a half. Many staff members have been part of the Sunnyfields team for anywhere from five to fifteen years, which speaks volumes about the positive environment they’ve created. The teachers are wonderful, patient, and work tirelessly to provide excellent care while ensuring the children have an enriching experience. They have gone above and beyond to make my daughter feel happy, safe, and comfortable. The staff has also provided incredibly helpful tips and guidance through the typical toddler stages—often offering more practical advice than many well-known parenting resources. Sunnyfields offers engaging, experiential learning through themed weeks. For example, during Fire Safety Week, the children enjoy a visit from firefighters and a fire truck. During Dental Health Week, a dentist visits to teach the kids about healthy eating and proper brushing. There’s also Kindness Awareness Week, which includes opportunities to give back through holiday donation initiatives. Music and movement are incorporated regularly, with visits from musical educators and entertainers. My daughter recently performed in a Valentine’s show with her class, and her teacher shared that it was designed to build the children’s confidence—I was so impressed! Fitness is well integrated into the curriculum. The children go outside twice daily, and during colder months, they offer a creative “play bus” to keep the kids active. Summer camp is packed with exciting activities such as water play, bubble shows, and pony rides. They also offer à la carte programs, including STEM and soccer. Parents are encouraged to be involved through volunteer story weeks, holiday shows, and parades. Sunnyfields emphasizes family engagement by hosting special events like Donuts with Dad and Muffins with Mom. The facility is very clean, and the staff is diligent about maintaining it. There is also ample parking, which makes drop-off and pick-up easy and convenient.”

    “My child has attended King's Kids since just under 7 months old and they welcomed us with open arms and love. Every single person who works here is truly an angel and you cannot go wrong no matter what age your child is they are going to do an excellent job caring for them. Choosing a place to send your child every day can be the hardest decision you make as a parent but this is one that we have never regretted and are grateful every day that we sent our little one here. A special shout out to Anu, Norma, Mariya, and Nataly--we love you!”

We recommend Goddard in Montville to anyone looking for high quality childcare for infant-preK. Our daughter is thriving, and the teachers & staff are professional, courteous, and attentive. What more could you ask for?”

They create such a welcoming, family- like atmosphere and fill the year with so many fun and creative activities that our children look forward to every day.

I especially appreciate the variety of activities they provide, including arts and crafts, music, story time, cognitive learning, and outdoor play. The teachers are truly amazing, caring, and supportive, and my child feels loved by every one of them. Every morning, my daughter gets excited when I tell her we're going to daycare, which gives me great peace of mind. It is clear that she is in a safe, nurturing, and happy environment where she feels valued, encouraged, and well cared for.”

    “Primrose is the school that feels like home away from home. Mrs Samuel, Gigi, Fenell, Lourdes are everything that makes human and the world a safe place. Their faces light up whenever they see their student, it makes me want to enroll and be a child myself. They love to impact knowledge and the kids love them. Ethan loves them and has reached every single milestone with them. They extend love to his older brother and they pay attention to each member of the family. The intentionality and kindness can’t be hidden. They are true gems. I wish the world has more angels like them. I recommend them a million times”

    “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.”

    “We absolutely love Primrose School! The teachers and staff have become like an extension of our family, and we are so grateful for the care, love, and attention they show our little one every day. A special shoutout to the incredible teachers Miss Jasmine, Miss Merlene, Miss Autumn, and Miss Marie along with all of the wonderful support staff, Miss Michele, and others who make the school feel like a second home. They create such a warm, nurturing environment that helps our little one feel safe, happy, and excited to learn each day. Our child has severe food allergies, and the level of care and precaution the team takes to keep them safe gives us tremendous peace of mind. From meal planning and food preparation to daily communication and monitoring, we always know our little one is in caring and capable hands. The updates and photos throughout the day mean so much to us and help us feel connected and reassured while we’re apart. The leadership team is exceptional. Thank you to Miss Mary, Miss Veronica, and Miss Emily for their dedication and commitment to creating such a positive environment for both children and parents. We are also so appreciative of Chef Reggie for the care he puts into ensuring meals are prepared safely for all the children especially those with dietary needs. The front office team, especially Miss Terri and Miss Alyssa, always greet us with kindness and a smile, making every drop-off and pick-up a pleasant experience. We would also like to thank Miss Omarys for her continued support, care, and dedication to the families at Primrose. She has truly gone above and beyond to make us feel at home and has been especially attentive when it comes to our little one’s severe allergy. Her commitment to ensuring our child is safe, supported, and cared for has meant so much to our family and has given us an extra level of confidence and peace of mind. Most importantly, we are thankful for the genuine love this entire primrose team shows our little one every single day. Knowing our child is safe, happy, and cared for by people who truly know and love them is the greatest gift a parent could ask for. Primrose has given us so much peace of mind, and we highly recommend them to any family looking for a school that feels like a true community and second home.”

    “We can’t say enough great things about this daycare! As a parent, entrusting the care of your child to others is one of the most significant and emotional decisions you'll ever make. I can say with absolute certainty that choosing this daycare was one of the best choices we've made for our family. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with warmth, sincerity, and a palpable sense of dedication that is simply unmatched! The owner Genesis is nothing short of extraordinary — her passion for early childhood development, her unwavering commitment to safety, and her deeply nurturing spirit shine through in every detail of the facility. Genesis and her staff are amazing at keeping parents updated through an app they use and always give us feedback on their daily activities. She leads with heart and integrity, creating an environment that is not only safe and stimulating, but also filled with love, laughter, and learning. The staff is equally phenomenal. Each caregiver exhibits remarkable patience, compassion, and professionalism. They communicate with genuine care and attentiveness, and it's clear they treat each child as if they were their own. My children have flourished emotionally, socially, and cognitively under their care — and the joy on their face at drop-off says it all. This daycare is more than a childcare center — it is a second home for our children , a place where children are truly seen, valued, and cherished. I am endlessly grateful to the entire team for their dedication, empathy, and excellence. If you're looking for a place that will nurture your child's mind and heart, look no further!”

    “A Grateful Reflection on PBJC ECC: The School That Changed Everything When we first considered enrolling our son at PBJC ECC, I’ll admit I had serious reservations. Coming from a highly regarded preschool, I worried that transitioning to PBJC might be a step down—especially in terms of education, structure, and academic growth. I had first hand knowledge and knew all the accolades about Agudath Israel and believed, like many do, that it was the premier early childhood option in the area. But I was wrong. Not just a little wrong—completely, wonderfully, life-changingly wrong. PBJC ECC has redefined what I thought a preschool could be. What I initially feared would be a less rigorous environment turned out to be the most enriching, warm, and intentional educational experience my son could have had. This place isn't just a preschool—it’s a nurturing community, a space where children are truly seen, known, and celebrated for who they are. The staff and teachers are nothing short of exceptional. They don’t just teach—they connect. They pour their whole hearts into the kids, blending warmth and love with an incredible gift for early childhood education. Every classroom moment is thoughtful and full of purpose. Our son was not only learning—he was thriving. His confidence blossomed, his curiosity deepened, and his joy became contagious. And then there's The Giggle Zone—an environment that lives up to its name in the most beautiful way. It’s pure joy. Looking back, the only thing I’d change is enrolling sooner. That’s the bittersweet part—knowing now just how right this place was for him, and wishing he could’ve had even more time here. It’s also a reminder that sometimes the most respected or “popular” option isn’t the best fit for every child. Agudath may be a great school—and it deserves credit—but PBJC ECC is not just another option. For our family, it has been the best option. As our son moves on, we are filled with gratitude. Gratitude for the teachers and staff who nurtured him. Gratitude for the friendships he built. Gratitude for the community we’ve become a part of. These past two years at PBJC ECC have given him so much more than we could have imagined—and they’ve given us, as parents, a deeper understanding of what truly matters in a child’s early education. Thank you, PBJC ECC, for giving our son a place to laugh, learn, grow, and shine. You’ll always have a piece of our hearts.”

Despite his strong-willed nature, he grew to love it and was always happy at pickup. The teachers are caring, and the director is very responsible. The strong academic foundation prepared both kids well for kindergarten—our son recently tested excellently for K. Special thanks to Ms. Gia, Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Paolo, and Ms. Nicole!”

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!”

    “The director, Mike, and every single staff member are amazing. I've recently relocated and leaving them is so unfortunate because I've gotten the best childcare service that I've ever had. Mike is such a kind, reasonable, genuine, humble person and you can tell he really loves what he does. The center itself is a good size with good teacher to student ratio. The backyard is spacious and full with enough toys and jungle gyms for all the kids. They are consistently active on the app, sending pictures and updates before I can ask. They dealt with potty training like champs and my son always came back happy and with some type of work/project that they had done that day. They made it easy to go about my day without worrying about my child and if I could take them with me to my new area with me, I would in a heartbeat. Thank you Mike and Away We Grow staff for being the rockstars you are to my son and I!”

    “So I can’t speak on behalf of any room except the infant A room. My daughter started here part time when she was 5 months old and the teacher Ms. Lourdes and Ms. Stephanie are the only reason I felt comfortable leaving her at such a young age. Every infant has their own schedule and it’s very personalized. The babies are very well taken care of, naps are difficult however (naturally).”
