“Amazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset. My daughter just turned 2 and has been going here for 5 months now. I couldn't ask for better daycare. We are very thankful to the whole team at Kinder Kastle. I would recommend this place to everyone with little ones..”

“UCMAS is the best program for kids who start at early age, it helps with brain development and they will stand out in the crowd and their thinking power is amazing!!
My son started this program when he was 4.5 yrs during Covid before he started his Kindergarten. I still remember first class with Mrs. Saswati, the way she introduced this program to me and my son was extraordinary. He started online classes with Ms.Bhruga Patel, she is a great teacher - my son used to love working with her. Every year he grew so much and I was amazed to see how he mentally does all the math problems and earned awards at each level. He graduated during summer of 2024 and earned Grade 1 plaque.
I strongly recommend this program and encourage parents to join their kids !!”

“We had a wonderful experience at peace rose for prek3, prek4 and two summers. Ms. Carmen and all of her staff are nurturing, caring, and supportive. We would recommend to anyone for a well rounded and caring environment.”

“Genius kids is an amazing daycare and has everything a parents or child needs. The staff is great, teachers are very nurturing, caring and management is always responsive and works closely together to ensure that all needs are met. My child has been attending for 4 years now and doesn’t want to leave. Genius kids is like our second home, they truly become like family. The daycare has cameras in all rooms and playgrounds accessible to parents. The food is homemade and delicious. The lessons are taught in English but there are also Russian and Hebrew classes available in the program. So many extra curriculum activities are offered as well such as sports and dancing. I highly recommend Genius kids and will continue to recommend even after my kids graduate.”

“We’re so happy with our son’s experience at Precious Gems Montessori . His journey has been incredibly smooth and comfortable, and it’s clear how much care and thought the teachers puts into creating a nurturing environment.
The teachers are incredibly patient with the children and truly understand how to support each child at their own pace. We’ve especially appreciated how responsive and communicative they are — it gives us peace of mind knowing that our son is in such good hands.

Special thanks to the teachers Ms.Rumana (Owner), Ms. Jessica, Ms.Maida and Ms. Sneha.”

“Love the staff they’ve made the transition from home to starting school so easy. My daughter has made lots of new friends and I’m glad her social skills are excelling. They also are great when it comes to her allergies my child is very happy here!”

“Love The Learning Experience! My two kids have been attending daycare here since they were both 4 months old and my oldest attended during the pandemic (he is now 4.5 and the other is 2). They love coming to school and all the teachers and staff love them. Ms. Tanu in the infant room took care of both of them. Ms Deziree was the teacher for both in the Twaddler rm and that has been amazing. It put my mind at ease to have the same teacher taking care of my older son and then my younger son 2 years later. Both boys are thriving at TLE. In a time where it feels like there is no village, the teachers and staff at TLE are our village and my boys are so lucky to have them.”

“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”

“The Goddard School of Spotswood is the best! Each and every teacher and staff member are extremely caring, nurturing, and friendly. We have been sending our daughter here since she was 3 months old and now our son as well and they made the transition easy knowing they were in the best care. They are extremely accommodating to each child's individual needs and always quick to respond and answer questions. The curriculum and various activities keep them busy and they have been learning so much. Our children have the biggest smiles on their faces everyday and we feel at ease knowing they are in a safe, fun, and loving environment. Highly recommend this wonderful school!”

“I love The Club at Woodbridge! ? It's the best place ever! My parents signed me up for the Kidsports class and the child swim program, and I have so much fun every time I go. The teachers are super nice and make every class exciting.

I also joined the Lego class, and it was awesome! I made new friends and built really cool stuff. ?‍♀️

The gym has everything you could want. My favorite part is the indoor pool. I feel like a real swimmer when I'm there. Plus, everyone at The Club is friendly and always ready to help. If you're a kid looking for fun activities, The Club at Woodbridge is the place to be!”

“All around great lessons and instructors whether it be virtual or in person. Tom has tons of experience and keeps the class engaged- a must have for all for SORA needs.”

“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.”

“Lightbridge Academy in Woodbridge is incredible. The building and classrooms are clean, organized and completely set up to allow its students the learning environment needed. The staff and teachers are amazing with the kids. We have our two kids enrolled and have never had an issue, teachers keep us informed throughout the day with messages and pictures. Our kids love their classrooms, friends and teachers.They also offer camera subscription so you can log in and see your kids whenever you want. Seriously, this is the only place I would ever trust my kids until they begin school. They have parent nights where you can leave your kids to go on a date, holiday events for the kids, class room parties and an outdoor playground where kids can run around safely.If you are looking for a DayCare facility, look no further than Lightbridge Academy.”

“The staff at Lightbridge Academy in Manalapan are consistently friendly, compassionate, and genuinely invested in every child who walks through their doors each day. Their warmth and attentiveness make a noticeable difference in the atmosphere, creating a welcoming and nurturing environment. The center is also run with a high level of professionalism—clear communication, well-organized programs, and a strong focus on the well-being and development of the children. As a parent, it’s incredibly reassuring to know my child is in such capable and caring hands.”

“Great school !
Many of the teachers have been working there for years. My older kids did great there and my youngest is there now for “the summer camp””

“We are so lucky to have found Turtle Creek for our son!

The teachers are absolutely fantastic. They are not only highly experienced, but also incredibly kind and patient. It’s evident that they are dedicated to creating an educational experience that is both fun and academically stimulating. The instruction is age-appropriate, which helps build a strong foundation for future learning while keeping things enjoyable.

Another huge plus is the reliable before- and aftercare. It's reassuring to know that our child is in good hands during the extended hours, and the care provided is just as thoughtful and engaging as the classroom time.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll here, and we would highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a place where their child can thrive academically and socially.”

“All Thanks go to Monika and her staff! We really can’t thank them enough for all the hard work. Overall our 2 little ones are very happy at this place, and we noticed the significant impact on both of them in all their speaking, listening, behaving, communication, and social skills ever since they joined Childtime of Spotswood.”

“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!”

“I don't know if Catherine is a teacher or a parent but she tried to take a car ride with an infant straped to her chest, no car seat. If she is an employee I would not trust my children there with someone as irresponsible as her and if she is a parent this business needs to do their job as mandatory reporters and alert dyfus to the child endangerment she's subjecting that infant to”

“Great Experience Despite Initial Hesitation

I was initially hesitant to enroll my 3-year-old son at this daycare because of some negative reviews I read online. However, I decided to schedule a tour to see the place for myself, and I’m so glad I did.

Ms. Erika was incredibly helpful during the tour—she took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made me feel comfortable. Her warm and kind attitude really stood out, and I felt confident enough to enroll my son at CWA.

Since starting, my son has been cared for so well. Ms. Erika and Ms. Sarala have both been extremely patient and nurturing. I can tell they genuinely care about him, and they’ve helped him adjust smoothly to the new environment.

Ms. Jacky, the director, has also been wonderful. Any time I’ve had a request or concern, she has done her best to accommodate it and has been very supportive.

Overall, I’m very happy with our experience so far. The staff is caring, responsive, and professional, and I’m grateful for the positive environment they’ve created for my son.”
