“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Goddard School in Skillman! From the moment our son started attending, we’ve seen tremendous growth in his confidence, social skills, and love for learning. The teachers and staff are nurturing, professional, and truly dedicated to each child’s development.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, blending play-based learning with strong academic foundations. Every day, our son comes home excited to share what he’s learned — from science experiments to storytime adventures. The communication from the school is also outstanding, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way.

We’re so grateful for the warm, safe, and enriching environment Goddard Skillman provides. It has been the perfect first step in our son’s educational journey!”

“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. ❤️”

“We’ve had such a great experience with the Infant Room at ADLC. Ms. Casey is incredibly warm, attentive, and truly loves the babies—our little one settled in quickly and absolutely lights up when she sees her! The room feels calm, clean, and well-organized, and we really appreciate the regular updates and photos.

We’ve also noticed some really positive changes under the new management—communication has improved, and the overall vibe at the center feels more professional and nurturing. We’re so glad we chose ADLC for our baby’s first classroom!”

“My son has been going here since he was 1 and I have to say it’s been an amazing experience. The teacher are hands on and very communicative. The school is very welcoming and i will definitely miss the administrators when my son takes the next steps into kindergarten.”

“Been so happy with our experience with Bright Horizons. Teachers are wonderful and Director is fantastic. Place is always clean, welcoming, and has a calmness that we did not find touring other day cares. We are so happy we found Bright Horizons for our family!”

“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 was responsible for my friend’s keys while he was getting married at this church. I left them in the pews by mistake and we didn’t realize they were missing until he was on his honeymoon. This caused a lot of stress and put a great strain on our friendship. The kind and caring staff here helped me locate the keys, which was the first step in rebuilding our damaged relationship.”

“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!”

“They really are a great and friendly team! I needed them for a backup care for a few days and they were sooo welcoming, understanding, and just nice. I felt reassured leaving my daughter with them; each pickup my daughter was happy and not wanting to leave. Daily pictures, they kept me updated , my child learned a lot, the center is clean, I have no complaints. Thank you Newtown team (Madison, Laura, Nick, Debbie, & Rima), I am very appreciative! <3”

“We’re extremely happy with the switch we made to Discovery Daycare. Simply put they do not make people like Jacqueline anymore. Her team here at Discovery is amazing. They are so caring, considerate and genuinely love my kids as their own. They constantly go above and beyond to make us parents feel included. My kids have flourished here and we couldn’t recommend it enough!”

“This daycare is easily the best decision my husband and I made. Pam put us at ease from the very first day our son attended. We were already so nervous about switching daycares as we just moved to the area and we knew the transition would be tough for our son who had made so many friends in his previous school. I was nearly in tears the first day we dropped him off. Pam stayed with him to get him adjusted to the classroom and even checked in with me to let me know how he was doing. I love that at kiddie academy, our child isn’t just one of the many kids who attend this daycare. Many of the staff members know my son by first name and greet him whenever they see him. You can tell how much they care for each and every child in this school. I read countless reviews when deciding on a daycare for my child. I had literally lost sleep researching all the daycares in the area and reading reviews from other parents. I knew after we toured kiddie academy Hamilton that this is where our son would excel. He’s been attending for a few short months but WOW, we have seen such a huge change in him! He speaks more at home, has picked up so many new words and phrases and our once VERY picky eater (who would only eat goldfish and teddy grahams) was eating nutritious meals provided daily by the school and using utensils! Thank you kiddie academy Hamilton for giving our boy so much love and attention. We have nothing but praise for this school and the wonderful staff ?”

“We absolutely love Lightbridge Academy of Lawrenceville! As a parent, there is nothing more important than knowing your child is safe, loved, and cared for, and that is exactly how I feel every single day. The care they provide is truly amazing, and all of the teachers are so patient, kind, loving, and dedicated to the children. The staff creates such a happy, welcoming environment, and it truly feels like family. My child has learned and grown so much since attending Lightbridge, and I am beyond thankful for the positive impact they have had on him both academically and socially. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he is in such caring hands every day. All of the teachers are fabulous, but I especially want to give a special shoutout to Ms. Nay, Ms. Jada, Ms. Elena, and Ms. Alex for the huge impact they have had on my child's growth and learning. Their love, patience, and dedication do not go unnoticed, and I am so grateful for everything they do. I would recommend Lightbridge Academy of Lawrenceville to everyone I know without hesitation. We are so thankful to be part of such an amazing school community!”

“Sending my daughter to The Goddard School was the best decision I have ever made! They have an amazing curriculum, they are so nurturing, and they love the students like they are their own. My daughter’s social skills have improved immensely. She knew how to spell her own name at just THREE years old.”

“We switched our 2 children from a previous daycare toKindercare Yardley in September and we have no regrets!! Every teacher is super nice and educated. The Director is also very friendly and quickly responds to emails. I absolutely love their program and the teachers are very good at sending pictures, videos and updates throughout the day to keep you informed on how your child’s day is going. My children have learned so much already in just 2 months and they both love going to school. My youngest had horrible separation anxiety as she was home with me for 6 months due to Covid and they worked with her everyday. She now will walk into the center by herself with no tears!! I also love that they offer a phonics class which I just signed my oldest up for. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with Kindercare Yardley!!”

“Mount Airy Happytime is the best daycare because the staff works hard everyday to make sure every single child is safe, healthy and having fun while learning and developing. Everyone is considered family from the coworkers, parents/grandparents/aunts and uncles to the children theirselves. The children love going out back to visit the goats and chickens also. They do a lot of cool and fun activities throughout the year. They are very welcoming, understanding and friendly no matter the situation they work with you to find the best solutions for everyone involved. I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone who is looking for childcare because they accept 6 week olds and up, they even offer summer camp for the school age children.”

“I’m so thankful we chose to bring our son here. The teachers are patient, caring, and overall great with the kids. The owner (and teacher!) Ms. Mara, has created a very welcoming environment and you can tell she’s very invested in these kids and their success.

The kids are given a significant amount of playtime, in which they are given the opportunity to explore the classroom and find what best peaks their interest. (When weather permits, they are outside a great deal as well) Art projects and educational lessons are fun and engaging. (You’ll notice a lot of hands-on learning and sensory play)

During some months (especially summer) the classes go on field trips or have visitors come to school. Considering most schools have done away with those types of experiences, it’s nice that the kids can have that here, before they’re off to Kindergarten.

This school is run with children at the forefront. They’ve truly exceeded my expectations and there aren’t many negative things to be said. My son looks forward to going to school each day and the amount of growth we’ve seen has been incredible to watch. He’s more confident, articulate, patient, and eager to learn.”

“As a first-time mom, going back to work and leaving my infant in someone else's care was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. From day one, the staff and teachers have made that transition so much easier by creating a warm, loving, and welcoming environment.
The communication is outstanding. I love receiving daily updates and photos that let me see my little one smiling, learning, and being cared for throughout the day. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she's happy and in such capable hands.
Her teachers are attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in every child. It's clear they put their hearts into what they do, and it shows in the care and attention they provide every single day.
I couldn't have asked for a better first daycare experience for our family. Knowing my daughter is safe, loved, and thriving while I'm at work is truly priceless. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place they can trust with their little one.”

“We absolutely love this school for our son! Owner, Lynn & Director, Holly are so sweet and welcoming. All the teachers are so kind and wonderful with the children. My son is 2 years old and started at 5 months old. I absolutely love everything about this school!”

“My wife and I could not have chosen a better place to send our daughter Chloe. She has learned so much. The staff and owner truly are the best and I know our daughter is in good hands. Thank you all for caring as much as you do.
- Josh”

“I have been sending my daughter to Kiddie Academy since she was 4 months old and she is now 2 years old. All of the staff are amazing here, the management and the new Director Melissa always make an effort to accommodate any extra needs for my child. The school is well structured and keeps a clean environment for the children. My daughter is excelling in learning new things with her teachers. I appreciate all of the hard work all of the staff here does to keep the children happy, healthy and safe.”

“The best preschool in the area of Trenton. The teachers and staff are always attentive to the children. They show, nurture, care, and love to the children staff is qualified and with great working ethics.”

“PDS is a great institution. The faculty and staff have gotten to know each of my 3 kids so well. All 3 kids are different, but PDS has met each of them where they are and enabled them to be successful! I am beyond grateful for their experience and the warmth of the entire community. Everyone in the community, including parents, are “all in” and it feels great to be a part of the school’s impact beyond just what it’s doing for my own kids.”
