“I’ve seen a clear improvement in my daughter’s executive functions while taking these classes. She has had to plan ahead to set aside time to get homework and practice done. Great way to practice accountability and personal responsibility. Miss Maria is so patient and an excellent teacher!”

“My son has been attending Lightbridge Academy since he was a year and a half old. This is his second home for the past 3 years. All his teachers and the administrators are outstanding. I can say that he has grown and learned a lot here.Like any parent, I was initially apprehensive about sending my young child to a daycare facility. But that was quickly alleviated. The center’s director and all the staff including the teachers are very attentive and caring. And the daily updates/feedback with photos, videos on their app also helps when you send your child to a new place.Overall, I would definitely recommend the Lightbridge academy at Edison.”

“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!”

“This preschool is a absolute gem; we feel so lucky to have found it! Both of my kids attended from 2019-2023. The school (which has been open in Millburn for over ONE HUNDRED years) is still set in the original Victorian house on Taylor Street. There are only 2 classes--3's and 4's--so it is super small and intimate, and because of this, a very close-knit and friendly parent community.They have an amazing playground which backs up to the Millburn community garden. The school owns 3 large plots in the garden and they include it in the curriculum. So the kids get to plant seeds (which they also use for counting & math), watch & learn about the different stages of growth throughout the seasons (science/STEM), and best of all, harvest & eat the fruits & veggies they grow! The school is very tied in with the town, including field trips to the local fire station, the local farmers market (goes with the garden curriculum), and Paper Mill Playhouse.The head teachers and assistant teachers have all been there for 15-25 years I believe, which speaks volumes about the school. They are nurturing, kind, fun, and truly great at what they do. They also make good company at the school happy hours :)The other major selling point of the school for us was the flexible hours. Kids can attend half day, half day + lunch, or full day, anywhere from once a week to 5 days- you customize the schedule. I have never seen another school offer this. This year for the first time they also offered aftercare as yet another option. And of course they have summer camp too.Between my 2 kids and moving around we have attended 4 different schools/daycares in the area, but Neighborhood House is our absolute favorite, hands down.”

“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!”

“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.”

“We have had 2 kids at Clark Kindercare and both have been equally happy there. We have been fortunate to have teachers that really care about our kids and treat them like their own. They have a variety of enrichment programs for the kids to participate in and you can’t beat the hours. We are lucky to have them as part of our “village”.”

“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.”

“Brainiacs child care center has a phenomenal loving and caring staff and director . They cater to the needs of my child without hesitation! I have no concern when leaving my child in their care ! I know he is going to be taken very good care of ! The teachers are always loving and welcoming ! I wouldn’t trade this center in for anything else ! I HIGHLY recommend this center above ANYTHING ELSE !”

“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!!”

“Our son has been attending Apple Montessori since July. He started with summer camp, later continued with the school year.Its always wonderful to see our son eager to go to preschool in the morning. Staff are great, take lot of effort to keep the kids engaged with various activities, setting a solid foundation for his academic life. We also noticed huge difference in social skills, vocabulary since he joined Apple. We highly recommend Apple for anyone looking for preschool in Metuchen area.”

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the outstanding care my child receives at Little Genius Academy. From the moment we walked in 2019, we felt welcomed and reassured that we had made the right choice for our little one.The staff at LGA are a group of dedicated and caring professionals who go above and beyond to create a safe and nurturing environment. Their genuine love for children is evident in every interaction, and it's clear that they prioritize the well-being and happiness of each child in their care.The facility itself is clean, organized, and well-equipped with age-appropriate toys and learning materials.Communication is key for us as parents, and LGA excels in keeping us informed about our child's daily activities, milestones, and any concerns. The regular updates and open lines of communication have fostered a strong sense of trust between us and the daycare team.What sets LGA apart is the personal touch they bring to childcare. Birthdays are celebrated, achievements are acknowledged, and there's a genuine sense of community among the families. It truly feels like an extended family, and that sense of connection is invaluable.I highly recommend LGA to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their child. Our family is grateful to have found such a wonderful daycare, and we are confident that our child is in the best hands. Thank you, LGA, for making a positive impact on our child's early years!”

“I can’t speak highly enough of this school. The teachers and staff are caring, attentive, creative and fun. The school is safe, clean and puts my mind at ease knowing my 15 month old daughter is in their care. My now 7 year old attended preschool here and it still feels like a family after all these years. The staff are the same, which speaks for the atmosphere and support they are given by the thoughtful and highly knowledgeable owners.”

“When we moved to Scotch Plains, the first thing I thought about was a language immersion program. Jump Immersion has been so great to our son! Amazing teachers and Miss Leyla always has a smile to greet us. Thank you!”

“Lightbridge Academy Iselin has become part of our family. Our family was very nervous in putting my 6 month old colicky baby into daycare. Within just a short period of time, we realized this was the best decision for my daughter. My daughter is now a year and three months old and she's learned so much. She is very verbal, loves to play and has excelled in every milestone. Ms. Kelly, Ms. Jenn, Ms. Sobina and Ms. Sangita really are the absolute best. I am known to voice my concerns but anything that comes up, the staff quickly answers and assures me things will be handled and addressed. I'm very thankful my little one attends Lightbridge, can't wait to see what the future holds.”

“Sending your child to daycare has to be the scariest decision you could make, especially at 6 months old. Before sending my daughter to Lightbridge we had toured other places as well - Lightbridge was the most responsive, accommodating, supportive. My daughter is in the young infants class for about 6 months now and the comfort I feel while she’s there is amazing. As a working mom it’s hard to work and worry about your child’s day to day needs are being fulfilled but I know with Lightbridge I have nothing to worry about. The young infant teachers are all amazing, Ms Destiny is my daughter’s primary teacher and God bless her because she really goes beyond the expectations of her. I never ever had an issue with communication-can always contact them for anything literally, the cameras are a great plus especially for a nervous mom like me, they set your child up with a great schedule to prepare them for setting up, most importantly they treat every child as an individual and understand their personality and need on an Individual basis. My daughter will be going to Lightbridge for a very long time and that makes me so happy as I know her growth will skyrocket here!”

“My daughter has been attending previous gems since she was 18 months. She loves all her teachers and has made tremendous progress. They focus on life skills and academics teaching children numbers, words, writing skills, counting and more. My daughter is safe, happy and thriving eroding all my worries.”

“We sent both our sons to the Goddard School for 8 years and could not have loved it more. The teachers and facilities were wonderful and my children grew so much during their time there. I highly recommend it for anyone needing a school for their children.”

“Switching our son from his previous school to LBA was truly the best decision we could have made. The teachers are so dedicated to their work, and the curriculum is both engaging and fun — our son comes home every day excited to tell us about what he learned and how much he enjoyed his day.

The live feed also gave us such peace of mind, especially during those first few transitional months. His very first teacher at LBA was Ms. Orianna, and there aren’t enough words to express how thankful we are for the love and care she showed our little guy. He talked about her constantly, and it was clear that he felt safe, valued, and truly cared for.

Ms. Orianna went above and beyond for her class — always bringing creative experiments, crafts, and activities to life. She showed up each day with such positivity and energy, and her passion for teaching was felt by everyone. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to his early childhood education.
And now he’s moved up to the big kid class this school year, with Ms. Kim as his teacher. From the moment we first met her, she’s been nothing short of amazing. In fact, she was the one who gave me a tour of LBA when we were first considering the switch, and the lasting impression she made was one of the key reasons we ultimately decided to join. We feel so fortunate to have her as our son’s teacher this year and know without a doubt that he’s in great hands!”

“Great place for your children to learn and grow! Great staff! Loving and caring. Special thank you to Rene, Chris , Anna and Daisy. They make it feel like family ”

“My girls have been at Applecore for the past school year and have had a wonderful experience. Everyone who works there cares so much about the kids, and my girls say "yay" every morning when they ask if it's a school day and it is!”

“Excellent school. The teachers, administration and principal were all very friendly and pleasant. The focus is on academics mostly and in the time my daughter attended she did learn quite a lot. Highly recommended school..”

“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.”

“My son loves going to Oakdale Academy, he always has a smile when I come to pick him up , and when I drop him off he’s always happy to go to school. Audree always keeps me updated with my son and is so sweet.”

“Learned a lot in a short time. I enjoyed working in the lab with my classmates. The clinical component was better than expected. The staff there was very helpful and wanted us to learn. Miss Anette and Miss Dixon are great resources and very knowledgeable about their profession. Highly recommend!”

“I did the Medication Aide course and Ms Margaret was great. She is knowledgeable, patient, caring and she prepares you well for your finals and helps in whatever way she can to make sure we were all prépared. I would recommend this school and this teacher to anyone. Great school and great experience!!”
