Schools near Skillman, NJ

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Goddard School in Skillman! From the moment our son started attending, we’ve seen tremendous growth in his confidence, social skills, and love for learning. The teachers and staff are nurturing, professional, and truly dedicated to each child’s development.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, blending play-based learning with strong academic foundations. Every day, our son comes home excited to share what he’s learned — from science experiments to storytime adventures. The communication from the school is also outstanding, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way.

We’re so grateful for the warm, safe, and enriching environment Goddard Skillman provides. It has been the perfect first step in our son’s educational journey!”

“You know you made the right decision when the first thing your son wants to do in the morning is go to “school”.
He is 3 (almost) and learns new words everyday from the daycare. The teachers at TLE are full of positive energy, Ms Kelly being my son’s first emotional support and now, Ms Anita. We couldn’t be happier with the management staff especially Ms Doreen’s welcoming smile and Ms Priya’s enthusiasm every drop off and pick up time!!
They send meal information and pictures about the child’s activities which helps us understand how a typical day is spent. We recommend TLE wholeheartedly!”

“We could not be happier here. Our son has learned so much since starting in the preschool class last year. He loves all the teachers. All the staff is amazing and truly cares about the kids.”

“We absolutely love this daycare! From the very beginning, the teachers have been nothing short of amazing—so caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to each child’s well-being and development. It’s clear that they genuinely love what they do. Our daughter is thriving here—she’s happy, engaged, and excited to go each day. The communication is great, the environment is warm and nurturing, and the staff always goes the extra mile to make sure every child feels safe and loved. We feel incredibly lucky to have found this place!”

“My son is my first and as any first time parent, I was very nervous about putting my son in daycare. However, since we started the process with Lightbridge, they have been wonderful. The teachers and administrative staff are always prompt to answer my calls and emails with any concern, no matter how minor! My son now seven months old has been in their infant classroom for about a month and a half and every teacher knows him and I can tell genuinely cares about him and all of his classmates! My son has a helmet and that was no problem at all, they knew how to take care of it. When my son was sick they all asked how he was doing. At the end of each day , I pick up my son who is happy and smiling and looks at his caregivers in a positive light, which is all I can ask for. I also appreciate all of the communication I receive throughout the day with the app.”

“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!”

“We love PNS! The teachers are caring, the environment is safe and nurturing, and my kids has learned and grown so much. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a great preschool experience!”

“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!”

“We’ve had such a great experience with the Infant Room at ADLC. Ms. Casey is incredibly warm, attentive, and truly loves the babies—our little one settled in quickly and absolutely lights up when she sees her! The room feels calm, clean, and well-organized, and we really appreciate the regular updates and photos.

We’ve also noticed some really positive changes under the new management—communication has improved, and the overall vibe at the center feels more professional and nurturing. We’re so glad we chose ADLC for our baby’s first classroom!”

“Both my niece and nephew have attended The Goddard School of Flemington, and now my youngest is continuing the tradition. The school is clearly heading in a very positive direction, and my little one absolutely adores her teacher, Ms. Ariane. She is fully engaged in all the seasonal activities and learning experiences. I sincerely wish the school continued success and look forward to seeing all the exciting changes and growth ahead for the Goddard School of Flemington community.”

“Goddard school teachers are amazing! two daughters graduated from here. The younger one had language challenges but the teacher guided and cared her with tremendous of patience.”

“We're so happy we found Knowledge Beginnings! Having been at a different daycare before, the difference here is remarkable. From the outset, it was clear that the staff truly cared about the children's education and development. The center is clean, and we love that there's a curriculum that we're updated on weekly. It's been amazing to watch our daughter grow over the past few months, and we know her development is due in big part to the community at Knowledge Beginnings. The Directors and teachers are invested in each child and bring enthusiasm and care to every interaction. They're always thinking of new fun and engaging activities for the infants here and have been super accommodating to our daughter's needs including changes in schedule, bringing our own lunches, etc. She loves it here; you can tell by how happy she is even at the end of a long day. I can't imagine a better place for her - thank you to the Directors and all the teachers here that truly make this place special.”

“We love the excellent service and the personal experience we have at Primrose School.

The dedication of the staff, the nurturing environment, and the focus on both education and character development makes it truly special!”

“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.”

“Our kids have been going to Village Learning Center for almost three years. They have been great working with us to accomodate our childrens needs. The teachers go above and beyond for their students. Pickup and drop off is fast and easy. Plus the kids love to visit the centers resident rabbit, Pepper.”

“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.”

“This school is a rare gem. This was our 3 year olds first time in any school, and he THRIVED! The teachers are all so warm and welcoming, and very engaged with the students. It is a true community that you build being involved with Cherry Hill Nursery School. The staff is amazing, and most teachers and staff were at one point parents of students, so they are very invested in the wellbeing of the children here. We intentionally skipped out on the public preK this year so he could finish out with Cherry Hill. Truly could not recommend this school more for littles starting out in PreK!”

“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.”

“Great school and lovely staff. My kids love going to school and they come back with a smile on their faces. The school prepares the child for the next level of education. We love Kindercapers.”

“A gem of a little preschool nestled in Rocky Hill’s historic schoolhouse building. We felt really lucky that we were able to secure a place for our daughter here we when she was three. Nurturing teachers who fill the childrens’ days with creative activities and lots of fun play, our daughter absolutely loved her time here and, being a coop, it felt really special to be able to directly witness this part of her life/development on days helping out in the classroom.”

“If i could give 10 stars i WOULD!!! Kindercare at hillsborough has been nothing short of perfect for us !!! The teachers/staff communication is outstanding. We absolutely love the education my son is 3 years old and is doing pre school education! They are so accommodating and always go out of their way to make sure the parents are always happy and pleased . We love getting our daily updates so we can see how our baby is doing through out the day is another big plus we get pictures and videos !!? Also their menu is healthy for the kids which is great. The facility is also very clean. They truly are AMAZING!!!!”

“My daughters started attending this school about 6 months ago and I informed Ms Tamise my youngest has separation anxiety in which it may take her time to adjust to a new class. To my surprise, my 2 year old was excited to come to school and see Ms Tamise because she genuinely cares and is the face that everyone loves to see entering Hopewell TLE. My baby grew more than a bond with her teacher; she’s excelling and learning so much because she feels comfortable and excited to see what Ms Tamise has in store for them. The best part is seeing Ms Tamise wear the cute outfits and costumes for the kids. They love it.
My 3 year old is in Ms Kumba’s class and she cannot stop talking about her teacher and all the fun things they do. She has increased her vocabulary tremendously and keeps me informed of her progress daily. Ms Kumba
ensures that the kids are learning past what the curriculum provides. Majority of the teachers have been there 5-18 years which shows their dedication to the profession.”

“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.”

“The staff at the Goddard School in Hillsborough have always been so incredible, we've had children there since 2016 since the birth of my first child, and our third is currently there in one of the toddler rooms. They are always responsive, friendly, they are incredible communicators, and whenever I've had a concern it has always been addressed quickly and in a satisfying way. I tell anyone who needs childcare that this is the place to bring your child, you have peace of mind knowing the incredible care they get and the learning experiences my kids have had are unmatched.”

“My daughter has been enrolled in this daycare for over 1 year now. All the teachers are so pleasant and easy to deal with and they really care for your child. They do a lot of fun activities and really engage with the children. Enrollment is so easy and you are always updated throughout the day on their app.”

“Kiddie Academy of Hillsborough hires the most wonderful and caring staff; all of my child’s teachers greatly exceed our expectations! We are beyond thankful to have such a trusted and enriching place to leave our little one during our workdays.”

“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”

“PDS is a great institution. The faculty and staff have gotten to know each of my 3 kids so well. All 3 kids are different, but PDS has met each of them where they are and enabled them to be successful! I am beyond grateful for their experience and the warmth of the entire community. Everyone in the community, including parents, are “all in” and it feels great to be a part of the school’s impact beyond just what it’s doing for my own kids.”
