Schools near Pitman, NJ

“We were referred to Cornerstone Montessori School in Pitman by a current family, and we will be forever grateful to them for it! Our two daughters, ages 3 and 4, have had an absolutely amazing experience there, both academically and socially.

The staff at Cornerstone are top notch. You can tell that every single one of them genuinely cares about wellness, kindness, and helping each child advance at their own pace. We especially love Ms. Lee's approach to learning. She strikes the perfect balance between education and practical, hands-on skills, which is exactly what drew us to Montessori in the first place.

Our girls have thrived with all the classic Montessori perks - independence, self-directed learning, a mixed-age classroom, and hands-on activities like cooking and sewing that they absolutely love. There truly seems to be no ceiling for them academically. In fact, they came home after their very first day already able to name all the continents!

What means the most to us is how happy, excited, and engaged our daughters are every single day. They've accomplished so much in such a short amount of time that it's honestly hard to imagine what they'll be capable of in the years to come. That's a real testament to Ms. Lee's diligence and the strong foundation and community she has built at Cornerstone.

Watching our daughters grow more confident, curious, and capable every day has been such a joy. We feel so fortunate to have been introduced to this school, and we couldn't recommend it more highly.”

“I had difficulties with my dog pulling on the leash.I tried every vest and leash advertised.
When to see nancy at star academy, she gave me the correct
Collar and a brief demonstration
The next day, my dog knew no longer pulls ,walks right beside me with loose leash
You would think she'd been trained for 6 months .
I have watched every video available for lease training.And it got me nowhere”

“We’ve had a great experience here, largely because of the people. The teachers genuinely care about the kids, and it shows — our children love them and are excited to be there. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and communication from the school is clear and consistent. They do a nice job keeping families informed, hosting thoughtful events, and maintaining a clean, well-run environment. It’s comforting to know your kids are in a place where they’re truly cared for.”

“Being at this daycare has been a wonderful experience. The environment is always clean, organized, and welcoming for both staff and children. The teachers here are incredibly kind, supportive, and truly passionate about caring for the kids. It’s clear that everyone works together as a team to create a positive and safe space for the children to learn and grow. I’m grateful to be part of a place that genuinely values both the children and the people who care for them every day. I would highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a nurturing and trustworthy environment for their child.”

“I absolutely love it here!! Such a clean & professional environment. Seeing my daughter excited to go everyday, makes me happy. Miss Sianne & Miss Mila are truly wonderful. They are attentive, patient, and genuinely love the kids. Im so happy to have finally found a childcare that I’m completely comfortable leaving my child. Knowing my child is safe, cared for, and surrounded by such dedicated teachers. They also have a summer program for kids aged 7-12! Totally recommend!”

“We had an excellent 3 year experience with the teachers and staff at Cadence! My kids loved being there and we were extremely pleased with the care, love, and attention our 2 kids received. Our daughter went through Pre-k 3 & 4 there. She was extremely prepared for Kindergarten. My son was in the Toddler 2 & 3 class. He really excelled and had an amazing teacher and assistant teacher!”

“I have nothing but great things to say about TLE. My 3 year old has been attending since he was just under 2 year old. Like many parents, I was an absolute nervous wreck about putting my baby in daycare so young. But during our tour, Lee and Nicole answered every question I had and eased all of my worries and ensured me that he's in good hands. It's definitely one big beautiful family atmosphere. Everyday it's clear to me that everyone in this establishment really cares about the children. My son loves his teachers and has been absolutely blossoming, thriving, learning so much. We've grown a very close bond with everyone at TLE and I'm so beyond thankful for finding them. I highly highly recommend, if you're in the area and looking for childcare, check out The Learning Experience Blackwood for sure.”

“Tutor time is a lovely early learning center. The directors and staff truly care about the children and their overall development. The teachers have done a wonderful job at ensuring the children are loved , and cared for during the day! Excellent choice.”

“We are new to the family here, but so far we absolutely love it. We have one child enrolled. We kept her out of daycare for the first year, and tried to work with her educationally, however her fine motor and gross motor skills have soared since starting at the program. I feel comfortable trusting that she is in good hands when she is there, and I love when I pick her up and peak into the classroom before fully going into the room and seeing her interacting with her teachers and classmates. Seeing her build these bonds warms my heart. If you're considering a daycare program with an educational foundation, I couldn't recommend this program and team of teachers enough!”

“The Goddard school in Sicklerville is amazing. After touring it, I knew this was the perfect place to send my son. The entire staff is great, the teachers are so welcoming.. they treat my son as if he’s their own. He truly loves going everyday- which is such a relief for me. I know my son is in great hands. Thank you!”

“An amazing staff that doesn’t just watch your kids but one that truly cares and is invested in their development and growth. Staff and management consistently communicated with and involved us. My children loved it there!”

“ELA is one of the best decisions I’ve made so far. They’re very welcoming, professional and friendly. I can see the difference from when my little one started there to this day. They do provide feedback about the wellbeing of the child.”

“We can't say enough about the Center. Since our daughter started almost 2 years ago, she has had nothing but a positive learning experience. As she has advanced through different rooms, she has loved all her teachers. The entire staff has been very friendly and responsible all this time. The daily updates and photos bring us peace of mind as we can see that our daughter is in good hands, while learning and playing with her classmates. Looking forward to our Infant starting at the Center this Fall. Thanks TLE Williamstown!”

“Our piano was on the second floor of our old apartment, i was worried that movers would give me a hard time about it. These guys were great, got it down and moved to our new home without a hitch. so glad i called.”

“My child has been going to school at WMG for about four years now. She absolutely adores her teachers and classmates. The school is very proficient with contacting parents immediately, and making sure we stay up to date on upcoming events. I would highly recommend your child attend WMG for their daycare/preschool!”

“I am writing a review because I am so happy to see the other reviews about Ms. Crystal!
Meaning she is still with COA Turnersville, she had my twins in the year 2024 and unfortunately we moved out of state. My husband is stationed back in NJ and our first stop with our 4 yr old twins and 2 younger children is our first stop!
Crystal is more than amazing she was family. We were so comfortable, content and happy with her! Her classroom is so clean, fun and comfy, she goes so beyond her job with no cares! It just flows from her heart. I remember one instance where I came in visually upset after having my mom hospitalized and she let me sit in her room, gave me coffee and let me watch her work and it was an amazing experience! You need one of her at every COA! If I cannot have her for my twins I will homeschool my babies! Looking forward to return in the next upcoming weeks!”

“I cannot say enough great things about the Goddard School of Washington Township. My son has been attending this location since he was about six months old, and he has essentially grown up there. It has truly been a wonderful and impactful experience for our family.

He is always safe and well cared for, the facility is clean and welcoming, and the Director Stephanie, is fantastic. The teachers are loving, nurturing, and truly make learning fun for the children. One thing I especially appreciate is that there has been very little staff turnover, which has made it easy to build strong relationships with the individuals who spend so much time with your child.

I would absolutely recommend this location to anyone and everyone looking for a caring, supportive, and high quality environment for their child.”

“My son LOVES it here and asks to go to school on weekends. He’s made so many friends and he loves ALL of the teachers. You can tell the teachers truly enjoy and love the kiddos. I couldn’t imagine him anywhere else. The teachers and directors are all so kind and happily answer any of my questions or concerns. Safety is always a priority which is so important. My son loves the playground and all the fun activities! Especially during summer when they have water play, magicians, foam parties and more!”

“NG Academy is one of the best daycare and pre-k schools in South Jersey. My child went here for over a year and changed in positive ways because of this school like developing speech and handwriting. He made friends and had a great experience overall. Ms. Shiro cares about the children and provides a fun, warm, and safe environment for kids to play, learn, grow, and explore new things. 10/10 recommend! Thank you for everything, Ms. Shiro! Much appreciated always!”

“Our favorite thing about St. John’s is the teachers and staff.
Our son started St. John’s after a negative experience at another school. His St. John’s teacher was so kind and he instantly loved school. His behavior even improved both at school and at home.
Our son was diagnosed with a serious illness while attending St. John’s. The teachers were so accommodating about anything we needed, and never made us feel like a burden. With everything we stressed about over his health, it was so reassuring to never have to worry about whether or not he was being taken care of properly at school. The teachers truly love their students. We even had gifts show up from the teachers after his diagnosis.
St. John’s is a true family atmosphere. There are so many special events and family dinners. So many opportunities to get to know your child’s teachers and the other parents. I don’t know how they do it but somehow they select the most loving, one-of-a-kind teachers.
The children go outside just about every day (twice if they attend full day), unless the weather is extreme. The teachers post pictures for the parents to see, which we absolutely loved! I think the director even knows every child by name.
We are confident our son received the perfect education and experience to prepare him for kindergarten. As a nervous first-time mom, I just can’t say enough wonderful things about our time at St. John’s.”

“My daughter has been going here for a year. She started at 4 months old and we have nothing but good things to say. She loves her teachers and we always participate in the theme days and events!”

“We absolutely love Cadence Academy and cannot say enough wonderful things about them. The staff is incredibly responsible, caring, and loving toward the children. My son truly adores his teacher, he even asks about her on the weekends and requests to see her, which speaks volumes about the bond they’ve built.

When my son first started, he had a speech delay, but thanks to the consistent support and dedication from his teacher, he no longer even meets the criteria for speech therapy. They actively work with him on tracing letters, as well as number and letter recognition, and the progress we’ve seen has been amazing.

My oldest son also attends their summer camp and absolutely loves it. He talks about it all year long and can’t wait for summer to go back. The field trips are fantastic, and on non–field trip days the kids enjoy so many fun activities in their huge, fenced-in backyard.

Cadence Academy has exceeded our expectations in every way. We feel so grateful to have found a place where our children are loved, supported, and truly thrive. I highly recommend them to any family looking for exceptional care and education.”

“Absolutely love LPDN! My daughter’s first time in school and it was a wonderful experience. Her teachers were the best. The administration always greeting you with a warm welcome when you walk in. She loved her first year and we’re excited to return again!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Toddlers n Tots! We started my son in the baby room and have loved every teacher he has had since! My daughter now is following his footsteps and starting in the baby room! The Zeck family is so caring, and all of the staff puts your child’s needs above all. All the way down to the kind women in the office. As a working mom, it’s comforting knowing your kids are in such great hands while you work. I can’t recommend them enough to anyone who needs childcare! I know mine love it!”

“My children have both attended here since they were infants. The education and care they receive is great, and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for childcare that is more than just someone watching your child. The things they learn at Goddard are incredible and really give them a leg up when it comes time for kindergarten and beyond.”

“We started at Calvary Hill Preschool in September 2024, and it has truly felt like gaining an extended family. Leaving your children in someone else’s care is never easy, but at CHP, you don’t feel like you’re dropping them off at a school — you feel like you’re leaving them with people who genuinely love them.

Safety is clearly a top priority. The staff are attentive, hands-on, and very aware of each child’s needs. They are proactive about supervision and intentional about keeping every child safe, which gives us incredible peace of mind as parents.

We currently have children in three different classes, and every teacher, aide, and even the aftercare staff have built real relationships with them. They know our kids, they care about our kids, and it shows. Our children are excited to go to school — even at 2 years old — and that says everything.

Academically, they are thriving. Watching our 4 year old confidently write her entire alphabet from memory has been amazing. And as a working parent, the childcare app adds an extra layer of reassurance during the day.

We are beyond grateful for the safe, loving, family-centered environment CHP provides. It truly feels like home away from home 🤍”

“I honestly was completely nervous about having my daughter start daycare to begin with but they made it such an easy transition. Even when she has moved up in the different classes they made sure she was comfortable and loved.”

“My children have been attending this center for many years. All the staff are extremely friendly and caring. There is always a family atmosphere to the center. I know my children are well loved when here.”

“My daughter has attended Little VIPs for almost two years and I have nothing but nice things to say. The staff is warm and welcoming and I don't ever worry when my daughter is in their care. It has been a blessing to know she is so well cared for everyday!”
