Schools near Somerville, NJ

“I have 2 children that started at Guidepost in September and it has been a wonderful experience! We were all nervous as it was their first time going to school but Ms. Heather, Ms. Coley, and the entire team made us feel so welcome from day 1. My children love their guides and look forward to school each morning. The classrooms are clean and chock full of educational Montessori materials. There are plenty of fun, educational activities to keep them engaged and growing. The school also hosts many fun family and parent events. We are so thrilled to be part of the Guidepost family!”

“I highly recommend Lightbridge academy at Route 27 North Brunswick . I love the way the care and activities they provide to kids. For Pre-school programs , I must say ,hats-off to teachers for shaping our kids journey towards Kindergarten. I want toGive special Shout out to for Ms. Anu, Ms Meenaxi and Ms. Renne for the unconditional love and support my kid has received. I explained my concerns regarding my kid eczema and Ms.Anu had taken it in consideration with her sincere care and love ?. Thank you so much !”

“This place is absolutely amazing! The teachers are all super kind, the facilities are great, and the kids are taken care of well. Our daughter has been going to this daycare for 3 years and she absolutely adores it. She loves all the teachers and has made a bunch of friends that she loves to play with. We also moved to a different town but decided not to switch to the TLE location closer to us because she’s grown very attached. It’s a bit of a drive, but worth it. Would definitely recommend this to any other parent out there looking for a good, reliable daycare.”

“I can’t begin to thank TLE staffers for everything that they do for my son. My son has been attending here since he was 2 years old, & has gained new confidence in not only his personality, but in his abilities, & capabilities. The teachers here are phenomenal, caring, and attentive.”

“My neice works here Ms Lee Lee she loves it here she tell me about all the fun activities she does with the children the staff and adnin is all about the kids! I highly recommend the Goddard school”

“Childtime Hillsborough is the best daycare for any child. The teachers here are so caring and considerate. They make the child’s growing years fun. The environment here is so nurturing that it puts my mind at ease thinking my child is in safe place.Miss Priya is absolutely the best. She is so kind and warm. She engages with my child and takes care of her as her own. Because of her efforts, my daughter started walking with assistance which she refused to do at home with us. Miss Priya loves my daughter and that is reflected in her manners and constant communications. My daughter loves her teachers ( miss priya, miss natia and miss D)so much.A special thanks to the director Miss Puja, whose warmth cannot be matched. She is so accommodating, and professional. She listens to all our needs and is super easy to work with.Thank you to the entire team of Childtime for creating a happy and safe place for my daughter”

“I have been working with Larry for years since a major physical set back. He always has workouts that are within my limitations but still push me to get stronger. His knowledge is so expansive. He knows so much about the human body and what makes it work best. Add in his knowledge of food and you have the whole package. Larry doesn't just know all these things he lives them, making him empathetic on top of encouraging. I would highly recommend Larry to anyone looking to become more healthy!”

“We’ve been a part of the TLE Warren family since January 2022 and there just aren’t enough wonderful things we can say about it. The facility, the staff, the teachers, everything. Our kids are so happy coming in to school each day. They enjoy learning and playing. The staff is so good at communicating each day whether it’s a phone call or email. Thanks to the app we are kept up to date on our children’s daily activities. They always have fun things planned for the kids each month and they make summer time so fun. We highly recommend this center to anyone considering it.”

“We absolutely adore all of the teachers and staff at Goddard! They treat my two boys like family. I trust them and know that my kids are well taken care of and always have a fun day at school”

“My daughter attends the Kindergarten Program, having previously gone through their Pre-School and Pre-K programs and we could not be happier with the school. To say that their Kindergarten Program is excellent is an understatement. The enriched curriculum (which goes beyond public school) is both delightful and challenging at the same time and the exposure to academics and all-round knowledge and development is impressive. We love the small classroom setting and warm environment. The Kindergarten teacher must be praised as she is very motivating towards the kids and encourages them to learn and explore their ideas. As such, my daughter loves going to school and is always excited to tell my husband and I what she's learnt. The staff also does a great job running the school and everyone is always pleasant and willing to chat if you ever have a question. I would therefore highly recommend this school, especially their kindergarten program.”

“I'll start this review by saying that as a first time mom, the most difficult decision to date has been how to even start the process to find the best daycare that will meet all of my baby's needs while my husband and I are at work. I went on many interviews and even had to make a difficult decision to have her enrolled at another facility due to lack of immediate availability and unfortunately they were not a good fit, but that is what ultimately led us back to waiting for a space at Crawlers 2 Scholars. This facility was worth the wait. I first scheduled a tour with Sue earlier in the year and from the first phone call to my first meet and greet she was knowledgeable, warm, responsive, honest, and true to her word regarding a wait time. Once there was an available space for my daughter in the infant room, Nicole the director went above and beyond to not only make my one year old feel welcome (with baby massages and peek a boo hellos) but she continues to be an intricate part of her adjusting to her daycare experience. She is in Miss Christine and Miss Michele's infant class and they greet her with smiles and open arms every day and even message me on days she isn't in checking to see how she is doing wishing her all the best. They keep my husband and I informed with pictures, videos, messages, and updates throughout the day in the app (and emails)and we couldn't be more grateful for the full transparency in communication and to have found them to care for our baby. They celebrate all holidays and are hands on with the kids, have weekly itineraries/schedules emailed, keep the infants busy with sensory activities and engage with them constantly whether it's with a music class or walk outside in strollers! They even take the time at pick up to let me know how her day was. Our daughter has a daily adjustment period that requires patience, love, understanding, and often times a lot of tears. There has not been a single instance that they have not welcomed her with open arms with the "we got this" and "go and have a great day" attitude. If I could give them 100 stars I would. We have discussed a potential move in the near future and we will continue to bring her to Crawlers 2 Scholars no matter the distance as this has become her second home! We recommend this to any family looking for a positive experience! Worth every penny.”

“My children (2 and 5) have attended KinderCare for the past 5 years and it has been nothing but an amazing experience for my family. We have specifically been at the Mountain Boulevard location for almost 2 years and there have been a lot of changes. They are under a new management team, and we can't say enough positive things about the directors, Melissa and Mariana. They are both at the center consistently and always greeting every child and family with a smile. They have done such a wonderful job creating a warm, fun, and inviting environment and my kids love going to school because of it. We also love how much they care about safety and supervision, and how much they invest into their teachers. It is clear that this team loves what they do because it reflects in the love they show to my kiddos.Miss Julia, Miss Ana, Ms. Konny, Mr. Eric, and every other teacher in the building are nothing but kind, patient, nurturing, and loving. Having to leave my children in the care of others was not an easy decision, but this team has gained mine and my wife's complete trust and confidence, and that is rare and special.Thank you to the Melissa, Mariana, and the rest of the team at Mountain Boulevard KinderCare for loving and caring for my children as if they were their own. We couldn't be happier to be apart of this KinderCare family!”

“In my opinion, this day care is THE BEST DAY CARE in town (and neighboring towns). Let me start off by saying, that similar to many parents, I researched many daycares before choosing a location. In addition, my child attended two other day cares before we landed here.

The way the teachers interact with the children is wonderful to see. The teachers are firm and consistent in their approach to bad behavior, they are attentive, kind, and patient, their curriculum provides a good education, they have fun (art, shaving cream, dancing).

It’s truly the BEST DAYCARE IN TOWN. My daughter has learned so much!!!!! Examples - ABC’s, sign language, how to write, even some Spanish colors, and so much more.

The Director, Johana is phenomenal, as well. My daughter was having a behavioral issue ~2-3 months into joining. She was ok with the other children but she was not listening to the teachers and displaying bad behavior that was not her normal behavior. At first, I thought maybe it was the daycare but I believe it was due to the fact that we just changed daycares and in parallel I was transitioning her into her own room / bed.

To put this into context, it got bad enough to where Johana (the director) had to sit me down. She explained all the issues and the impact it was having. She gave some recommendations on what we could work to implement, together, to try and rectify the problem. She was also very clear on how long we had to try and implement a solution (before we would need to change schools). All things I truly appreciated because there was over communication on the problem, a willingness to work together to try and resolve the issue, and a clear deadline.

In the end, I was finally able to get through to my daughter and her morning statements of “I don’t want to go here!!!” changed into “I can’t wait to tell Ms. Caila XYZ” or greeting Mrs. Johana on the way to excitedly join Ms. Temu’s class.

Their willingness to try and work with you (as a parent) and their dedication to providing a safe, fun, and educational place for all the children is impeccable. You won’t regret sending your child, here.”

“This daycare came highly recommended. It does not disappoint. My son started at 5 months old and absolutely loves it. Even from the interview it smelled so clean and the owners were so warm and friendly. I can tell when I pick him up he loves the staff and enjoys his time there. The program is very structured and i appreciate all of the rules in place for keeping my child safe, happy, and healthy. I feel secure leaving my child there during the day Monday through Friday and would recommend this daycare to any other parents looking for a daycare.”

“I highly recommend Kindercare Piscataway to families seeking childcare for their little ones. My toddler has been attending for around six months, and our experience has been fantastic. The teachers and staff are consistently welcoming and enthusiastic every morning. The mobile app provides regular updates on my child's activities throughout the day, which gives me peace of mind. Most importantly, I have seen significant development and growth in her since enrolling in Kindercare Piscataway.”

“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 son has been going to TLE since he was 6 months old. He has grown so much here and the staff is so supportive and patient with children. If anyone is looking for a place where they want to know their kids are safe, learning, and taken care of, this is the place to be. Thank you TLE Somerset”

“We absolutely love My Very Own School! Three of my children have graduated from the Pre-K class there, and they were all more than prepared for Kindergarten. The owner, Miss Danielle, is absolutely wonderful. If we ever had any questions, she always responded immediately, and with the kindest personality. The teachers, Miss Tiphanie & Miss Erika, were amazing! They truly cared for all of their students, and were also terrific at communicating with parents at drop off & pick up. Our children also enjoyed the various activities that MVOS had to offer, especially Kids Zumba with Miss Judy, and The Fun Bus! MVOS is always very clean, and smells very clean. So if you are looking for a daycare or preschool for your children…look no further…My Very Own School is the BEST!”

“We are associated with the Goddard school of North Brunswick for more than 10 years with both our sons and we are extremely happy with them. The level of personalized attention, very healthy environment, child development, super awesome syllabus, cleanliness, safety .. everything is just perfect. My child cant't wait for the super enjoyable summer camp now!”

“I dropped my daughter off to Ms. Evelyn back in August 2021 and have never felt more comfortable. Ms. Arielle went above and beyond caring for my daughter and has continued to watch over her as she grows. Ms. Amanda has been the most amazing caregiver to my son. She treats me like her own and loves on him just as much as I do. I wouldn't have made it through this past year with him in daycare without her watching over him.My daughter would get so excited when she would see Ms. Sue and continues to ask where Ms. Marci's car is when we don't arrive at the same time. Ms. Bre and Ms. Sam are so caring with my daughter and are the best at helping with potty training!These teachers are our family and with Ms. Lisa always supporting us and my littles, I can't picture us anywhere else.”

“It is an amazing school for the children and the staff is very professional, kind and humble.They are very clean and sanitized.it is a great place to keep our child for the mental and physical growth.my child love that place….”

“I had to pull my son out of his previous preschool because of some serious health and safety concerns. This preschool is amazing, he started mid year and adjusted immediately and LOVES his teachers Mrs Martina & Mr Colin. The administrative staff is amazing, the support staff is amazing, and the teachers are amazing. I can see the difference in how my son acts every day, happy to go to school and happy to see his teachers, instead of crying every day at drop off. I could not recommend this school more highly. I'm so grateful I found such a loving and nurturing environment where my son can learn and grow.”

“We will forever be so grateful for the time our daughter spent at the Sapling School! As first time parents we were so anxious about putting our daughter into daycare but the Sapling School quickly dissolved all our nerves. The entire staff is so warm and welcoming, we truly felt they became an extension of our little family and loved on our baby girl just as much as we do. The communication between teachers and parents is exceptional. The facilities are so clean and they have a great system to sanitize everything. The only reason we left Sapling School is because we moved 40mins away and we are completely heartbroken that we could not keep our daughter enrolled. Ms. Kerry and the entire staff have set the bar so high for us and I would recommend the school over and over again.”

“We joined TLE about 2 months ago and our little girl is thrilled to go in every day. My husband was nervous at first since she had always been cared for by family, but by the second week he was relieved we had made the right choice. Our daughter is thriving here and the teachers and assistant teachers really care for the kids. I love that the staff is diverse and they are always friendly when greeting the little ones. We are very pleased so far that our daughter is so happy there.”

“My daughter loved Zimmer since day 1 till her last day of Pre K. The quality of time she spent in the school is noteworthy and she was more than ready to enter the public school system. Her baby brother is sure to also be a part of Zimmer soon.”

“Both my boys have been to Kiddie Academy and it has always been like a second home to them. I love the school infrasturcture, teachers, support staff, curriculum and most importantly the fresh food that the in-house chef cooks. My 4 year old loves to go to school everyday and that's all that matters :)”

“My now 9 month old has been coming here since he was 4 months old. The staff is experienced and kind, and the babies have fun interacting together and playing.The school itself is really nice, both inside the classroom and the little turfed area where the babies play outside; clean, secure, safe, and fun.I especially love that they take lots of pictures and videos throughout the day, and there’s even camera access so you can peek in! They also have an app where they keep us updated with food, diapers, etc which is also used for communicating with your child’s teachers which is very nice to have.My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the level of care our son is provided, and we can’t wait to see him grow here. :)”

“I can't say enough good things about All Day Learning Center. Our children love the teachers, and we've developed great relationships with them. The rooms always smell like they've just been cleaned and it's obvious they put time into this daily and throughout the day. The administrative staff is also very involved, we love Miss Jackie, Miss Jaime and Miss Erica! The variety of programs they provide throughout the year and during Summer Camp are great too. :)”

“Awesome staff, love the dynamic between the staff and kids, very clean, updated, and safe Daycare, I like the fact that my kid hang out with other kids from different race.”
