“The lady with the review about her son below is delusional. I was a parent with her. Her kid would bite everyone (kids and adults). He pushed my kid down the stairs, and constantly poked kids in the eye with 2 fingers. Everyone was afraid of him. The staff was the best. Calm, caring and dedicated.”

“My daughter has been enrolled in TLE for almost 2 years now and it has been such a great experience. I’ve worked in childcare facilities for a few years and was nervous about picking the right center for my daughter since I’ve seen the good bad and ugly from other centers. Ledgewoods TLE has an incredible curriculum for their students that are geared for each developmental age group that builds on itself, the center keeps you updated on your child’s learning progression as well as just their day to day activities, and the staff are some of the most kindest people I’ve met and it really feels like they care about your child. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better center to have my daughter attend.”

“As our 5-year-old daughter graduates, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible three years she has spent here since age two.
When she started, she was very shy, but the teachers’ constant warmth, ready smiles, and accommodating nature quickly helped her blossom. What we love most is how the school celebrates every single occasion throughout the year with wonderful, creative activities. These events kept her excited to learn and truly nurtured her overall growth.
The academic focus is equally fantastic. We are so proud that she is already doing simple addition and subtraction, and has started basic reading! Her Kindergarten orientation went exceptionally well, which is a true testament to how thoroughly this school prepares children for the future. Thank you to the phenomenal staff for loving and teaching our daughter!”

“A loving and supportive daycare with amazing staff. Our toddler is happy, comfortable, and well cared for every day. We’re so grateful to have found this place.”

“I love how the teachers interact with the children. My daughter has grown and developed so much since attending. I especially appreciate the variety of activities they provide, including arts and crafts, music, story time, cognitive learning, and outdoor play. The teachers are truly amazing, caring, and supportive, and my child feels loved by every one of them. Every morning, my daughter gets excited when I tell her we're going to daycare, which gives me great peace of mind. It is clear that she is in a safe, nurturing, and happy environment where she feels valued, encouraged, and well cared for.”

“We were at Goddard for 4 years and it was an amazing experience. My son loved all his teachers and the owners are great. My son's 1st year at Kindergarten, his teacher asked what school did he go, because he is so well behaved and is advanced as far as the subjects he's learning in Kindergarten.”

“This place is the absolute best! Ms. Nisha is so kind, caring, and a true educator of small children. The turnover here is so low and the consistent faces provide safety and security for these little ones. Mr. Rick even went out of his way one morning to help me clean the inside of my windshield! They treat you like family and that’s all I could ask for! I’m so happy we found Cresthill in East Hanover.”

“Love KinderCare!! Wonderful, knowledgeable staff, clean facility, great place for children to grow!! They really nurture and care for every little one that enters their program. HIGHLY recommend!!”

“We've been apart of the LTA for three years. Both of our boys have attended. Our youngest is currently in the sparrow classroom with Ms.Natalie and Ms. Maddie. He absolutely loves them and always excited to see them. Natalie and Maddie show so much love and tenderness to our little one we couldn't be happier. Thank you to these ladies and learning tree for the reassurance a mom needs when leaving her kids in the care of others.”

“It takes a village and I was fortunate enough to have The Goddard School in ours. Thank you for your genuine love, patience and guidance with our son. You made our daycare experience feel like a second family and home. Ms Rachel, Mr. Tom, Ms. Elia, Ms. Terri and Mr. Jim all made this experience such a positive one. Can’t thank them enough!”

“I’ve been brining my children here for years. Consistency in teachers, directors are very helpful and this daycare is ALWAYS very clean. Care for my kids has always been top priority.”

“Another great experience with Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes in Morristown.

Megan and Jess are extremely professional. Megan is highly seasoned and exceptionally well-versed in her field. Their insight, communication, and ability to connect with both students and parents continue to make the experience feel supportive, thoughtful, and productive.

What continues to stand out about Lindamood-Bell is their individualized approach, data-driven assessments, and deep understanding of language processing, reading comprehension, and learning challenges.”

“We love Kiddie Academy Florham Park, My daughter is happy to be over there, thank you for all staff specially Ms. Celine teachers Ms. Melissa, Ms. Jackie and Ms. Hope”

“The Goddard School of Randolph has been such a wonderful environment for my children to learn and grow. They are loved and cared for and learn through fun and exploration. The outdoor amenities are unsurpassed by any other daycare in the area. I never worry about my children when they are at Goddard Randolph, because the staff treats them like family. It truly is a special place.”

“We absolutely love Primrose School! The teachers and staff have become like an extension of our family, and we are so grateful for the care, love, and attention they show our little one every day.

A special shoutout to the incredible teachers Miss Jasmine, Miss Merlene, Miss Autumn, and Miss Marie along with all of the wonderful support staff, Miss Michele, and others who make the school feel like a second home. They create such a warm, nurturing environment that helps our little one feel safe, happy, and excited to learn each day.

Our child has severe food allergies, and the level of care and precaution the team takes to keep them safe gives us tremendous peace of mind. From meal planning and food preparation to daily communication and monitoring, we always know our little one is in caring and capable hands. The updates and photos throughout the day mean so much to us and help us feel connected and reassured while we’re apart.

The leadership team is exceptional. Thank you to Miss Mary, Miss Veronica, and Miss Emily for their dedication and commitment to creating such a positive environment for both children and parents. We are also so appreciative of Chef Reggie for the care he puts into ensuring meals are prepared safely for all the children especially those with dietary needs.

The front office team, especially Miss Terri and Miss Alyssa, always greet us with kindness and a smile, making every drop-off and pick-up a pleasant experience. We would also like to thank Miss Omarys for her continued support, care, and dedication to the families at Primrose. She has truly gone above and beyond to make us feel at home and has been especially attentive when it comes to our little one’s severe allergy. Her commitment to ensuring our child is safe, supported, and cared for has meant so much to our family and has given us an extra level of confidence and peace of mind.

Most importantly, we are thankful for the genuine love this entire primrose team shows our little one every single day. Knowing our child is safe, happy, and cared for by people who truly know and love them is the greatest gift a parent could ask for. Primrose has given us so much peace of mind, and we highly recommend them to any family looking for a school that feels like a true community and second home.”

“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!”

“Primrose is the school that feels like home away from home. Mrs Samuel, Gigi, Fenell, Lourdes are everything that makes human and the world a safe place. Their faces light up whenever they see their student, it makes me want to enroll and be a child myself. They love to impact knowledge and the kids love them. Ethan loves them and has reached every single milestone with them. They extend love to his older brother and they pay attention to each member of the family. The intentionality and kindness can’t be hidden. They are true gems. I wish the world has more angels like them. I recommend them a million times”

“As first-time parents, sending our children to daycare was a huge milestone and honestly a little scary. We have a 6-month-old and a 2.5-year-old, and choosing the right place was one of the biggest decisions for our family.

From day one, the teachers have been so loving, patient, and caring. They truly made our first daycare experience so easy and helped both of our children transition smoothly. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our kids are being cared for like family.

We absolutely love the daily activities and curriculum. Every day our toddler comes home having learned something new, and it's amazing to see our infant also being engaged with age-appropriate activities throughout the day.

One thing we really appreciate is the communication. We receive updates, photos, and information about their day, which makes us feel connected and reassured while we're at work.

As parents, there is nothing better than knowing your children are safe, loved, and thriving. We are so thankful we found this daycare.”

“The Goddard School in Florham Park is fantastic. From the very first day, Mr. Sundeep and Ms. Laurie made us feel right at home. They took the time to explain everything in detail, and we were very impressed with the safety protocols and overall cleanliness of the school.
Our daughter usually takes a little time to adjust to new people and teachers, but Ms. Kelly and her team were incredibly warm, patient, and caring with all of the children in the class. Their kindness made the transition much easier for her.
My wife and I always felt comfortable knowing our daughter was in such great hands. We truly appreciate the care and dedication shown by the entire team.”

“I am forever thankful for my kids to have attended London Day School. The teachers and staff are warm, supportive and nurturing from start to finish. When my son graduated, I felt confident in his readiness for Kindergarten. Thank you for the cherished memories.”

“Kiddie Academy in cedar knolls is a great facility that has such loving and caring teachers. They are attentive to our needs, very clean, and have a great family oriented environment. Thank you KA of cedar knolls.”

“Sunnyfields Learning Center is truly a special place. It provides a well-rounded curriculum at an affordable price. I applaud Sunnyfields for its strong focus on building soft skills—such as confidence and independence—alongside a balanced mix of play-based and structured learning.
My daughter has been attending since she was six months old, and she is now two and a half. Many staff members have been part of the Sunnyfields team for anywhere from five to fifteen years, which speaks volumes about the positive environment they’ve created. The teachers are wonderful, patient, and work tirelessly to provide excellent care while ensuring the children have an enriching experience. They have gone above and beyond to make my daughter feel happy, safe, and comfortable. The staff has also provided incredibly helpful tips and guidance through the typical toddler stages—often offering more practical advice than many well-known parenting resources.
Sunnyfields offers engaging, experiential learning through themed weeks. For example, during Fire Safety Week, the children enjoy a visit from firefighters and a fire truck. During Dental Health Week, a dentist visits to teach the kids about healthy eating and proper brushing. There’s also Kindness Awareness Week, which includes opportunities to give back through holiday donation initiatives. Music and movement are incorporated regularly, with visits from musical educators and entertainers. My daughter recently performed in a Valentine’s show with her class, and her teacher shared that it was designed to build the children’s confidence—I was so impressed!
Fitness is well integrated into the curriculum. The children go outside twice daily, and during colder months, they offer a creative “play bus” to keep the kids active. Summer camp is packed with exciting activities such as water play, bubble shows, and pony rides. They also offer à la carte programs, including STEM and soccer.
Parents are encouraged to be involved through volunteer story weeks, holiday shows, and parades. Sunnyfields emphasizes family engagement by hosting special events like Donuts with Dad and Muffins with Mom. The facility is very clean, and the staff is diligent about maintaining it. There is also ample parking, which makes drop-off and pick-up easy and convenient.”

“The best experience ever! Ms. Jordana’s infant class was excellent. What a wonderful teacher and teachers working there! Ms. Graciela was so sweet too! My daughter loved them. They do care so much.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Heritage Children's Academy. As parents, finding a place you trust with your child is a big deal, and from day one the team there has been nothing but professional, caring, and incredibly accommodating.

What really stands out is how much they genuinely care about the kids. Our son absolutely loves going there every day and talks about his teachers and friends all the time. It’s such a great feeling dropping him off knowing he’s happy and in a place where people truly look out for him.

We’ve also seen a huge amount of growth in him since he started. His confidence, social skills, and overall development have improved so much, and it’s clear the environment they’ve created plays a big role in that.

Honestly, the only regret we have is not enrolling him sooner. We’re really grateful to have found Heritage and the amazing staff there. If you’re a parent looking for a daycare where your child will be cared for, encouraged, and excited to go every day, I can’t recommend them enough.”

“We can’t say enough great things about this daycare!

As a parent, entrusting the care of your child to others is one of the most significant and emotional decisions you'll ever make. I can say with absolute certainty that choosing this daycare was one of the best choices we've made for our family. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with warmth, sincerity, and a palpable sense of dedication that is simply unmatched!

The owner Genesis is nothing short of extraordinary — her passion for early childhood development, her unwavering commitment to safety, and her deeply nurturing spirit shine through in every detail of the facility. Genesis and her staff are amazing at keeping parents updated through an app they use and always give us feedback on their daily activities.
She leads with heart and integrity, creating an environment that is not only safe and stimulating, but also filled with love, laughter, and learning.

The staff is equally phenomenal. Each caregiver exhibits remarkable patience, compassion, and professionalism. They communicate with genuine care and attentiveness, and it's clear they treat each child as if they were their own. My children have flourished emotionally, socially, and cognitively under their care — and the joy on their face at drop-off says it all.

This daycare is more than a childcare center — it is a second home for our children , a place where children are truly seen, valued, and cherished. I am endlessly grateful to the entire team for their dedication, empathy, and excellence. If you're looking for a place that will nurture your child's mind and heart, look no further!”

“Goddard of Denville has helped my sons grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Their phenomenal teachers make them feel comfortable and they make every day so much fun.”

“My child has attended King's Kids since just under 7 months old and they welcomed us with open arms and love. Every single person who works here is truly an angel and you cannot go wrong no matter what age your child is they are going to do an excellent job caring for them. Choosing a place to send your child every day can be the hardest decision you make as a parent but this is one that we have never regretted and are grateful every day that we sent our little one here. A special shout out to Anu, Norma, Mariya, and Nataly--we love you!”

“We absolutely love this preschool. Both of our kids have attended, and it has truly become like a second home for our family. The teachers and staff go above and beyond every single day. You can tell how much they genuinely care about the kids and their happiness. They create such a welcoming, family- like atmosphere and fill the year with so many fun and creative activities that our children look forward to every day.

It is such a special place, we can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a perfect start to their child's education. We'll be so sad when our time here comes to an end - this school has been such a wonderful part of our family's journey!”

“My son has been going to this school since he was 4. He loved it! He still talks about Miss Nancy and we’re all feeling a little bitter sweet leaving for KINDY. Cindy, Cathy and Jen are wonderful too and know all the kids by name and are friendly and easy to chat with.”
