“We feel very fortunate to come to know about Elements Montessori academy through a friend and meet Mrs. Hema Krishna Kumar when we were searching for options to send our daughter back to school for kindergarten after the covid gap year when we were hesitating to send her to school. All EMA Staff are very friendly, professional and take very good care of the kids and take all necessary covid pre-cautions. After only a few days we stopped worrying too much about covid. My daughter loves the school and does not want to miss even a single day. The Program is excellent for all round development of the children and as explained by Mrs. Hema Krishna Kumar on our first visit there is no set limited syllabus, based on how the child is progressing new topics/skill levels are introduced. Thank you very much Mrs. Krishna Kumar, Mrs. Bhavani and the rest of the staff at EMA. We just started to send our younger son here as well. Thank you Mrs. Bala and Mrs. Matthew.- Pulsani Family”
“My daughter spent three wonderful years at The Learning Experience (TLE). My spouse and I couldn't be more grateful for how much my daughter grew socially, intellectually, and emotionally. From the beginning, the staff made us feel welcome and supported, creating a warm and nurturing environment that helped my timid daughter thrive. Over time, she made many close friends and truly came out of her shell, developing confidence and strong social skills that will benefit her for years to come.
A great strength of TLE is its curriculum. Its academic offering is outstanding—engaging and thoughtfully designed to support both academic and social emotional growth. I was consistently impressed by how much my daughter was learning, from early literacy and math to the arts and problem-solving. The teachers are not only knowledgeable but also caring passionate about what they do, always going the extra mile to make learning fun and meaningful. On the rare occasions that my child encountered challenges, the staff was very responsive and immediately addressed our concern as parents.
What really sets at TLE East Windsor apart is the kindness and dedication of the entire staff. They are always readily available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer support whenever needed. It's clear that they genuinely care about the development of the whole child. Knowing my daughter was in such capable and compassionate hands gave us tremendous peace of mind every day. I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, enriching, and loving environment for their child.”

“We feel truly fortunate to have our son enrolled at Inclusive Montessori. The dedication and care shown by the entire teaching staff have been exceptional. Special thanks to Miss Dipika and Miss Kala, who have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure our son feels supported and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better environment for his early development.”
“Finding the right daycare was extremely important and from the moment we walked into Over the Rainbow, it immediately felt like the right place. Jessica was amazing from the very beginning, answering all our questions and guiding us through the process. The teachers and staff are always smiling and laughing, making the environment feel friendly and welcoming. Ms. Brianna and Ms. Febe have been so amazing in helping our daughter get use to daycare and I love how comfortable she feels around them. Ms. Maya and Ms. Kristy are so sweet and Ms. Ashley is always giving a warm welcome. Couldn’t recommend them enough.”

“My experience with Lightbridge Academy has been nothing short of exceptional. As parents, dropping off our daughter for the first time was nerve-wracking, but thanks to the incredible support and care provided by Miss Kate, the Director, and Miss Katie, the Assistant Director, we felt instantly at ease.From the moment our daughter joined in July 2023 as a member of the Khaki Kangaroo class, the warmth and dedication of all teachers, particularly Miss Lina, her lead teacher, were evident. Miss Lina treated our daughter with such care and attention, providing invaluable feedback and guidance to help her adjust to her new environment.As our daughter made the transition to the Yellow Ducks classroom under the guidance of Miss Danielle, Miss Lina and Miss Kate demonstrated exceptional commitment to her adjustment process. Their thoughtful recommendation to introduce our daughter to Miss Danielle daily in the week before her move significantly facilitated her transition and put our minds at ease.My daughter has truly enjoys being a part of Yellow Ducks family, under the guidance of the wonderful Miss Danielle. Seeing her return home each day with a radiant smile is a clear indication of the warmth and joy she finds in this nurturing environment.”
“This daycare has such a warm, welcoming feel. It’s the kind of place where you can immediately tell the kids are happy and cared for. The staff are genuinely kind and attentive, and they create a really nurturing environment. One thing I really love is that there are two great playgrounds, lots of space for the kids to run around, play, and just be kids. It’s such a comfort knowing they’re spending their day in a place where they feel safe, supported, and free to explore.”
“Our child has been going to this daycare since the past 2 years. We have seen him grow so much as a person with strong vocabulary and interpersonal skills. They have a variety of activities for kids throughout the day to keep them engaged and learn. Our child even made amazing friends at TLE! However, he's had couple of rough incidents with another kid, who injured him. The staff responded to us in a kind manner and till this day make sure that our child is not in the same room as the other rough kid. The staff is very attentive and responsive to your concerns. We like TLE Lawrenceville!”

“Would highly recommend! My son is very high energy and has a hard time listening to anyone. When he started Kiddie he has been more excited about going to preschool. No more fighting him to get out the car, he made friends and he loved the staff not only his teachers, the entire staff! It felt like one huge family and I truly appreciate each and everyone there!”
“My daughter started at Goddard three months ago. This is her first school, and we’ve had a truly wonderful experience so far. Everyone at the school is so welcoming, and they take the time each morning to greet the children. My daughter is very attached to me, but Ms. Liz has done a fantastic job helping her transition into school and making her feel welcome and included. Although it still takes a little time each morning for her to join her classmates, both my family and I believe she will continue to grow and thrive at Goddard West Windsor.”

“Our son spent three amazing years at Bright Horizons in Princeton, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sapid, miss qua, miss Carlin and his best friend Toni were exceptional so caring, patient, and truly dedicated. Diane, the director, created a warm and welcoming environment where we always felt supported.
Our son grew so much in confidence, joy, and curiosity thanks to their care. We’re incredibly grateful and will always look back on this time with love. Highly recommended!”

“Nothing but wonderful things to say about Goddard. They are so responsive and attentive to every child and parents needs. The curriculum is well rounded and the children are ultimately prepared for Kindergarten. The teachers go above and beyond to make children feel safe and comfortable. My daughter is very anxious and has a hard time leaving mom; now she doesn’t want to ever leave school!!! Great job to Kim and the rest of admin. Juliana, Victoria and Caity are wonderful teachers that we will miss once in elementary school. Thank you always ❤️”
“This is the best day care! My daughter went here from 6 months to 4 years old. I transferred her from another facility where we had a bad experience and it was the best decision from the start. The staff is so warm and loving. I’ve never had no concerns! It’s clean and managed very well. My daughter was sick only once with an ear infection. I share this because with the other school there was always something that had me concerned about their cleanliness. My daughter has learned so much, but most importantly, they continued to instill kindness and good manners. I will miss this school and the teachers!”
“Both of my sons have gone to Kindercare — one is still in the school and the other has moved on to Kindergarten. My belief is that there are amazing teachers there who have done so much for both of our boys. Our son LOVES Ms. Brandy and sometimes doesn’t even seem to want to leave her. The team is responsive to emails and concerns. I know my kids are safe when they are there and there’s so much to do. Especially for the price it is a great experiences for my kids.”
“After exploring many preschools in the area, we could not be more pleased that we chose DNPCCNS for our children. They have blossomed in the nurturing and enriching classroom environments created by the teachers. Each day, they run into school with huge smiles on their faces. The teachers and staff truly go above and beyond to meet the social-emotional and academic needs of each student. All of the head teachers are experienced and state certified. There is also a strong sense of community among the families, and there are various student events throughout the year to help foster these relationships. We are so grateful for everything DNPCCNS has done for our family. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm and caring preschool that also prepares children for future success in elementary school.”

“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.”
“Our son loves going to school and we cannot say enough about how caring and loving the teachers are. We started at 6 months in the Young Infant classroom. Ms. Christina, Ms. Sandra, Ms. Nadine and other exceptional caregivers have provided our baby with care and spent countless fun-filled moments with him. Our son transitioned to the next-level room from the infant room this week and Ms. Christina came in ON HER DAY OFF to make sure him and another child transitioned seamlessly. For now he is still upset about the change and misses his previous teachers every morning, but the new teachers make sure there is enough play and hugs to ease him in. I saw one of the teachers easing James to sleep for long, long, minutes during nap time the other day (I think it was Ms. Spencer). It really feels like my baby is safe, happy, and learning new things at Lightbridge. I could not recommend them more.”
“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 ?”

The staff is creative and kind and they have even begun food exploration for the letter of the week which has been a great way to try new things! We will certainly miss them when we graduate and recommend them for a wonderful preschool/daycare experience!”

“The BEST nursery school, our oldest daughter is a graduate (was VERY prepared for K) and our youngest is in the 3's. Great teachers, wonderful community of kids and parents and such a great learning, playing and loving environment”
“I’m so happy that I chose this school for my toddlers. It is a safe, mentally stimulating environment that offers daily opportunities for positive early childhood development.”
“My daughter has been here since she was 6 weeks old and she’s learned so much. The teachers do really fun activities with them. I never worry about her when she’s there and if something happens while she is there I get a call immediately. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.”
“I did my research and checked out quite a few daycares before settling on this location that was recommended to me by other moms.
I have sent my children to this center for roughly three years and I can’t say enough good things about Kindercare. Vicki is an absolutely phenomenal director of the daycare and from day one made me feel at ease about sending my kids there. I had a lot of questions and was overall very anxious as a new mom and she made sure to give me frequent updates and put all my worries at ease about dropping off my little one there. Vicki always responds to all emails in a very timely manner and is always available for any questions/concerns which I really appreciated. Again, I can’t say enough good things about Vicki, all the teachers and the center overall!
Overall, all the teachers are amazing at the center as well and lead teachers have been the same the entirety of my time there. The teachers really go out of their way to make the kids have a good day and make all the kids feel special and loved. I always felt safe and comfortable knowing the kids were in good hands. Any problems/concerns/issues that ever arose were quickly addressed and honestly I can’t say how good my experience has been at this center.
You can tell if adults care about working with children and I can say from my experience Vicki and the teachers genuinely care about the kids and their wellbeing as well as growth. Vicki was also so supportive and accommodating on any changes/requests I had regarding moving schedules that helped us out immensely. They also do annual reviews for the kids to let you know how far they are coming a long in their skills and to make sure kids are ready for kindergarten.
Kids spend so much time at daycare in this day and age due to working parents and we all need to make sure our kids are safe, well looked after and are actually learning at daycare. The center has a lot of activities through out the school year and especially during the summer as well. and they had chicks they hatched this past summer which the kids loved! Graduation was very emotional for the kids as well as the teachers as they all genuinely were so proud and happy for the kiddos for how far they all came along.
There is also an app that they upload frequent pictures of the kids and schedules/important information - I loved being able to see what my kids were doing during the day. Kids are also given breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack which was so nice so we didn’t have to worry about packing lunches/or if they were fed well. The menu comes out well ahead of time and meals are overall balanced and nutritious. The kids were also provided diapers/wipes/formula but I am unsure if that policy is still in place post Covid - so if you calculate the cost of good care, meals, formula, diapers/wipes - the center is absolutely worth it. Overall, if you are looking for a good daycare this is the place to go!”
