“The management team at Kindercare is absolutely the best! Ms Danielle, Ms Bianca, Ms Kimmy and Ms Barbara strive in providing a safe and happy environment for our children.”

“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”

“Our oldest daughter is now just wrapping up her time in pre k4 at Appletree Preschool and I have to say it's been such a positive experience for her. She's been attending since Jan 2022 and she's loved every minute of it. From the teaching curriculum to the different activities throughout the day its been a fun journey. All of the teachers and staff have been so kind and amazing and its been so great seeing her always coming home with a smile on her face because the day at Appletree was so enjoyable. While I'm sure it's not easy and it will be a big change, I think Appletree definitely prepares kids well for the next journey into Kindergarten. We're looking forward to having our youngest daughter enroll in Appletree in a couple of years.”

“We are so happy with the care our son Angad receives in the Khaki Kangaroo classroom. Ms. Ximena and Ms. Daniela are amazing—caring, patient, and attentive. Angad comes home happy and excited about what he learns each day, and we can see how much he’s growing under their guidance. We’re so grateful for the love and support they give him every single day!”

“We love this daycare so much! My 3 year old is always so happy to RUN through the doors everyday. My 7 month old just started here last month! The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing, compassionate, and caring people - that truly care about every individual child. The relatively large indoor gym is key for those rainy days or any afternoon when the kids just need to play and run around with their friends. They bring optional extracurricular activities into the center such as super soccer stars, karate, and dance (for an extra cost), which is awesome to have available! I also enjoy the daily updates and pictures on what my kids are up to! We couldn’t be happier sending our kids to this school!”

“I am currently an employee here & I promise you "Happy Happens Here" I love this job & I'm glad that other people see that for me, everywhere I go people are like I love that you love your job you look like you have so much fun I'm happy for you & that makes me happy Thank you for making me a part of a wonderful team & a wonderful place ‼️ #TLEWaldwick #MsQ #ThankYouDenielle”

“If I could add a sixth star I would. We were one of the early families enrolled and 8 years later we still talk about Miss Brittany, and so many of the staff. My 3 month old wouldn’t take a bottle but, because of their hearts, Ms Brittany would walk her up and down the halls to get her to eat. The teachers went out of their way to make my children feel welcome, loved and part of a family. Academically, my son thrives and excelled in K because of the exposure and practice in the program through crafts and FUN. You will not be disappointed with your choice.”

“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”

“Friends School is a truly special place that fosters a deep sense of community while nurturing young minds. The teachers are all exceptional and care for the students in a way far exceeds a traditional standard. Both our children have attended the program and we have seen tremendous growth and emotional development during their time at the school. Ms Amanda leads from the front having recruited, and importantly retained, a wonderful faculty who embrace play based learning in a natural environment. What stands out most to me is the creativity that this setting inspired in our children, you can see their minds expanding as they begin to develop a life long love of learning. The families you find at Friends care deeply about one another and the community leading to warm personal friendships outside of the school as well.”

“The co-op nursery school has been the best choice we made since moving to the area. My son, now in kinder, thrived with the warm, caring staff and well thought out curriculum, balanced with plenty of play time. He graduated more than prepared both academically and socially. I have a daughter now in the 3's class and another who will be going in a few years! Between meeting friends (both for moms and kids!) and the awesome events and caring community you can bring your kids knowing they are cared for like they are the teachers own. Would recommend 1000%.”

“I really appreciate all of the teachers and all of their hard work and dedication. My daughter has made so much improvement from day 1 and I am extremely impressed. I also really appreciate Marisa and Crystal, the directors, for making this process seamless. They keep us up to date and answer any and all questions. They continue to make me feel very happy with my decision to put my daughter in Light Bridge Academy.”

“My daughter been here since she’s been 1 years old and I can honestly say I love it here. It’s so much more than a preschool. The staff are amazing, kind and the sweetest in the world. They all care for the kids as if they were their own while teaching them different skills everyday. They have field trips, different events every holiday, birthday, everything… They’re literally the best of the best ! Definitely recommend !!!”

“Being our first child, my wife and I were very anxious to send our new baby to daycare. We looked at all the centers in the area and could not be happier with our decision to join WCL Kindercare. From day one the director Renee has been warm and welcoming, professional, attentive, and quick to make sure our family’s needs are met. My child’s teachers are terrific. They took time to get to know our family and care for our son as if he’s their own. We get lots of updates and pictures throughout the day too. The director Renee has lots of fun family events that you can bring your other children to, all fun and all included in enrollment. Can’t recommend enough.”

“My kids have been at Bell's since 2016 and my last child will be at Bell's until 2027. Besides the school being conveniently located and reasonably priced with very accommodating hours, I have continued to stay at Bell's because I trust them. My kids are taken care of mentally & physically, nurtured, educated and treated kindly and with respect. The teachers are very attentive to the kids and really get to know each kid individually. In almost 10 years, none of my kids have come home sad from Bell's or had a bad story to tell. They always come home happy and excited and can't wait to go back tomorrow to see their teachers and friends. Throughout the year, Bell's offers different opportunities for the kids to participate in (dance, yoga, soccer, show & tell, dress-up days, etc) and during the summer they have so many fun summer activities, including visits from farm animals, carnival day, and water play 3 times a week. I know some families bounce around to different schools before finding one that works for them. I was so lucky to find Bell's on the first try and they are the only daycare/preschool I have sent my children to.”

“Highly recommend KinderCare to anybody looking for childcare. Two of my children are currently attending; one it’s graduating from UPK & one is 1 and a half year old. My baby started there at 8 weeks old. Worried about leaving her with anybody, she never gave me a trouble leaving her there. Even now, she loves going to school and she’s always learning something new every day.”

“Love love love Smarty Pants! My daughter has been apart of the program for almost 3 years. She has advanced so much learning how to spell and writing. The staff is so pleasant and welcoming. The director contacts me personally about any concerns. If you want your child to grow and progress you've come to the right place. Well done.”

“My daughter had an enriching experience where she got to try new activities and foods, take part in sing-alongs, and make new friends. The counselors were terrific!”

“Just wanna stop by and say that I enrolled my son during the height of Covid 2020, and we’re glad we did! Very impressed with their Covid protocols, but most importantly, for the teachers, shout-out to Mrs. Norma for keeping the kids safe and at the same time, preparing them for the big school, despite the Covid outbreak! It’s a small classroom setting that teaches them to be a part of society, discipline and most importantly for us, Christian values. Thank you to all the teachers and staff for making it possible, through their hard work and love for the children!”

“We send our kids here and think it's excellent. The teachers are outgoing and really help kids learn.It's clean and neat inside with lots of room for the kids to recreate. I would recommend the Goddard School ofWayne!”

“The absolute best place ever. They love my baby like their own. I am so absolutely blessed and happy I found this place. They make you feel like family and are so special. My daughter has learned so much. Within the first two weeks she started speaking so much. The school is very interactive.”

“This Montessori school is fantastic. The teachers and staff are warm, down-to-earth and flexible. They were a godsend when we were new to the area and looking for someone to take our son who wasn’t potty trained yet into a school program. They have wonderful events (Mother’s Day Tea, School Picnic, etc…) that include the kids and parents. Very special. Highly recommend them!”

“Peace through Play is a magical place. I wish that I had the opportunity to go to such a great nursery school when I was a kid. They have a great private outdoor space where the kids can have fun and just be kids. My daughter loves to do artwork and they had so much for her to do there. She would come home each day excited to show us her new yoga moves and sing the songs she learned each day. My daughter really opened up during her time there and made great friends. Even being there all day she would still complain that she wanted to say when it was time to take her home.They offer affordable prices with a long schedule which is amazing for working parents. Miss Elisa does an excellent job, along with all of the other teachers and staff. They have a great culture there and all support each other. There was never a single issue during my time there.We went out of our way to keep our daughter in PTP even when we moved and it was no longer convenient. I can not recommend PTP enough!”

“Highly recommend. My son is 19 months old and loves going to “school”. He started around 13 months. He loves his classmates and teachers and has learned so many things that he surprises me every day. The school provides food, we bring our own diapers and wipes. The people there are super nice and accommodating. They do interesting activities, go outside every day and have a good selection of toys to play with. It’s important to socialize with other kids his age from an early age.”

“My older children went here 13 years ago ,now I have a 3 year old that has been here since 6 months old the staff is great and friendly and loves my son dearly I wouldn’t have my child anywhere else I have no complaints what so ever great daycare, clean and staff is great”

“Love the institution, their staff is amazing!My child is happy there, she love her teachers and I'm really happy she had found friends and is experiencing what every toddler should at that young age, a great learning expirience.”

“Can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review, One year plus.I had brought my child here after trying other daycare/ preschools in the area. None can compare to kids academy! The staff and owner go above and beyond for the children and families. They truly treat us like we are their family! And my daughter is so happy there that even on the weekends she asked when is she going to see her teacher.If you're looking for a place in the area, I definitely suggest you check them out.”
