“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“My family and I have had the absolute pleasure of sending our children to PSA for the past four years, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this incredible school. From the moment we first stepped through the doors, we knew we had found a nurturing and enriching environment for our kids.Located in the heart of Montclair, PSA is a true gem in the community. What sets this preschool apart is its unwavering commitment to the growth and development of every child who walks through its doors. It definitely fosters a family environment.The teachers and staff are exceptional. They treat every child with love, respect, and individualized attention. It's evident that they genuinely care about the well-being and success of each student.The school is always clean, secure, and well-maintained. We are very pleased with their response to the pandemic and sent our kids back with ease. Additionally, the classrooms are filled with age-appropriate toys, books, and materials that encourage exploration and creativity. My little ones loved the imagination play!If you are looking for a preschool that values your child's growth, happiness, and overall well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Park Street Academy. It truly is a place where families become part of a loving and supportive community. Thank you, PSA, for four amazing years, and for laying the foundation for a lifetime of learning and success for our children.”

“The Learning Experience in Livingston is a fantastic learning environment for all kids from infants to preschool! Our family has had the pleasure of sending both of our kids to The Learning Experience in Livingston, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The teachers are exceptional - they're caring, attentive, and truly invested in each children’s development. The atmosphere at the daycare is warm, welcoming, and conducive to learning. Our kids have flourished here, both academically and socially. We highly recommend The Learning Experience in Livingston to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their little ones!”

“After researching and visiting many daycares in Wayne , I found Primrose to be the standout option. From the moment I scheduled a tour, I had the pleasure of meeting April, who was absolutely delightful and professional in every aspect of her role. The experience from start to finish was impressive. Unfortunately, my toddler fell ill and couldn’t continue attending. However, the response to this situation truly set Primrose apart. The owner personally reached out to express her care and took every step to address our concerns, which was deeply appreciated. Nicole, too, was very sweet and handled our situation with utmost professionalism. This level of care and attention has made me seriously reconsider Primrose for my little one in the future. Their compassionate and professional approach has left a lasting impression”

“This daycare is clean and provides a positive space for our child. I've been most impressed with the preschool curriculum. My daughter is reading beyond sight words because her teacher's have given her the foundational steps to sound out words. Their patience and work with my daughter has given her confidence with reading I couldn't imagine. She is well prepared for kindergarten and I couldn't be happier.”

“We absolutely LOVE KinderCare Whippany. Our daughter is so happy there! The teachers are incredible and they have amazing lesson plans for the children. It’s safe, clean, and organized. Highly recommend!”

“We absolutely love Bloomingdale Daycare! After having a bad situation with another daycare, they quickly welcomed my kid into their center. They made her feel safe and happy and she needed that. I was also super impressed how they communicate throughout the day via text or pictures. It was the first time I actually had an idea of what my kid did during the day. They center is secured so I felt safe with her there while also is welcoming so you can come inside and see the center too. I definitely recommend Bloomingdale Daycare!”

“We recently moved to the area and were overwhelmed by the school search. After touring numerous schools, Playhouse felt like a warm hug, putting our worries at ease that this would be the perfect school for our son. As the year has gone by, we have been blown away by the progress he has made, both emotionally and mentally, and how happy he is when he comes home each day. The whole staff is loving, supportive and super communicative, as well as the community of parents who are incredibly involved and reliable. We couldn’t ask for more in a school and would 1000% recommend.”

“My 2 year old started going to this school this year and he loves it, I am really happy with the outcome that I started to see in my child he’s learning colors counting ABC, the teachers are amazing and the staff from the main office are so nice!! I love it I’m so glad my son had the opportunity to get into this school ??!!”

“I can say that I was extremely nervous to step into a classroom setting for the very first time. I wondered if I would be a good fit and if I had anything valuable to give growing and impressionable future leaders. When I started Primrose, I was taken in immediately as if I’ve always been there. I appreciate that administration and the teachers were so patient and understanding with me being new to a classroom setting. Before you knew it, I felt like I could take on any classroom or situation with the same grace and encouragement that I received from Primrose. I will always remember everything and I will always appreciate Primrose, so thank you for the experience and thank you for making me feel included.”

“Jennifer runs this place with SO MUCH care and attention.. she puts in 1,000% every single day in making sure the children are cared for and attended to in every situation. All the staff members that I've met are wonderful beyond expectation. Rebecca, especially has been so kind and helpful on numerous occasions. I can't thank everyone enough!”

“I truly can’t say enough great things about marigold academy (formerly education station) in Bloomfield. It is such a special, well-rounded daycare with amazing, caring staff, exceptional + big outdoor playground space/toys, and tons of learning and toys inside. I was absolutely blown away with how much my child learned there and felt it was the perfect mix of play + lots of educational learning. My child absolutely thrived at marigold academy and we were SO sad to leave due to moving out of town. The child to teacher ratios are also amazing and small- much better than most other daycares. The staff does so many fun things to keep kids smiling and having fun such as weekly music class, holiday decorations and music, yoga, outdoor play, water play in the summer, etc. I love this place and recommend it so highly!!”

“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!”

“Absolutely love this daycare! The curriculum is fun and educational! The teachers are loving and caring. The owners are just as involved as the teachers and they are so nice! If you are looking for a preschool I would highly recommend sending your child! Couldn’t have brought my son to a better preschool! They will not disappoint!”

“We love Lightbridge Academy!! My daughter will be three and my son is one and we've been g attending Lightbridge since my daughter has been born. The staff is incredible and so caring for my children. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else!!! Highly recommend this daycare”

The entire team at Lightbridge is compassionate, nurturing, and incredibly supportive. Thanks to their guidance, my daughter has gained a wealth of knowledge and is well-prepared for kindergarten.”

“Gingham Giraffe is a wonderful preschool and now has a full day Kindergarten program. We are so impressed with the program, teachers and curriculum. Our children are receiving a well-rounded school experience.”

“Our experience at TLE Roseland has been so amazing! As a first time mom starting your child at daycare at 4 months is scary. The staff at TLE from the admin team, owners, and her teachers Miss Nydia and Miss Marcie have really made this transition so easy. Our daughter is always happy to see her teachers in the morning and it has really created a positive space for her to spend her time playing and socializing. They do a wonderful job of focusing and working on development and encouraging them to meet their milestones. I am excited to watch her grow and continue to thrive in their care.”

“My 19mo has been attending Cresthill in East Hanover since he was 11mo, starting in the infant class then moved to one of the toddler rooms once he started walking. Everyday he wakes up and goes to our front door, saying let’s go school! He loves his teachers and all the activities they provide (and I love getting pictures of what he accomplished each day). He comes home having learned new words, concepts, dances, etc. constantly. The director and assistant director are so accommodating and easy to work with. As a mom that works a full-time job, it was not easy deciding where my child would spend the majority of his week. I’m so thankful to have found a place where I can feel confident he’s taken care of when dropping him off every morning! 10/10 highly recommend.Bonus: they offer military discount for those in service :)”

“We love Kiddie Academy! It has been such a pleasure having had our daughter attend for 3 years, and our son has been learning and growing so much, in his time at the center. The admin and teachers are both wonderful and caring.”

“We have had a wonderful summer at MMO’s camp and are eager for our daughter to start the full time program in the fall. It has been a wonderful, loving environment with lots of fun activities. Our daughter always comes home happy and fulfilled. We would highly recommend the program to anyone.”
