Schools in Wayne, NJ

“We have been here for 5 months so far and we love it. The teachers are great , management is kind and responsive and dedicated to making the center a place full of activities and positive energy!”

“My daughter attends Lightbridge Academy and I would highly recommend it! She had a hard time being away from home at the beginning and they were so loving and patient with her and gave us updates every day at pickup with how she was adjusting. After a couple of weeks she started having such a great time and is learning so much. She’s less than 2 and starting to since abc’s, recognizing letters and numbers, and has grown so much with her social/emotional skills. If you are looking for a daycare I would definitely recommend Lightbridge academy in Wayne! From the owner, to the office staff, to the teachers, everyone is there to help and make sure your child is taken care of.”

“We have been coming to this school for three years and I can’t say enough about this school. From the amazing owner to the admin team lead by Ms. Marissa. Goddard School of Wayne is where you want to bring your little ones.”

“I've had both my children here under 1 and 3+ and I've had a great experience and highly recommend Primrose of Wayne. Below is my honest and thorough review listed as pros and cons.

PROS
FOOD & WATER - I don't have to worry about packing lunch, because they feed the kids. All meals are made in house like beef w/ lo mein, chicken brown rice and veggies, and cheese tortellini in marinera sauce with side of peas. No Juices, only water (I love this). Not things like chicken nuggets and pizza.
ADMIN - Communication is fantastic. They always pick up and read my messages right away. Address my concerns (e.g. daughter said she didn't have friends when they changed classroom-got fixed right away). They've always had the same admin staff since I've been there and they are all amazing and very attentive, kind, welcoming, and reassuring.
TEACHERS- Simply kind and caring. My daughter loves her teachers and wants to go to school every day.
CLEANLINESS- compared to other places I've toured, this daycare looks and feels clean and organized.
EDUCATION: Great. I love that they practice writing names every day, learning math, and science.
SERVICES/EXTRACURRICULARS: They connected me with speech therapy faciliated at the school and soccer in spring is wonderful.
Note: Before picking this place for my daughter, I went on the state website to check for complaints or violations during state inspections and they passed with flying colors. There were places closer to me that after seeing those inspection reports, it was a no brainer that I would choose Primrose.

CONS (but not really)
PRICE - Their price is great, but childcare in general is expensive. Paying over $3,000 a month for two kids was rough for me this year.
ITEMS - My milk bottle caps got lost on more than 2 ocassions. For baby/toddler rooms, label everything if you can. Check your bag to make sure its yours before you leave. I left with other baby's bag twice because it was handed to me and I didn't check until I got home.
NEW STAFF - Mistakes like getting the wrong backpack, jackets, or other things is most likely going to happen with new staff or staff that don't normally cover that room. This is normal in any place, so just be mindful.
Note: I was friendly with two moms who changed their kids to a different school because they were not satisfied with their experience here, but with the few parents I've spoken to in my child's classroom, including myself, are very satistified with the quality of care at primrose.”
