“Carousel of Learning was one of the best choices my husband and I made for our 3 children. It was such a loving, kind and caring place that nurtured our kids but also prepared them with the essentials (socially, mentally, and academically) that were needed to start Kindergarten. They treat your child like they are their own!”

“It’s been just two weeks of joining this family ! And to say I’m thrilled and thankful is just an understatement!
Deciding to be a part of this family is one best decision I’ve made.
I see my son thriving already and it gives me and my family much joy!

I had to withdraw my son from a daycare that couldn’t navigate how to help him thrive, using his milestone development for all sorts of excuses. But in just two weeks I see him do a lot of what they said he couldn’t do.

Blessings to Bethany, Angelina, Lynette and all in the toddler class. I hope we continue to have an awesome family experience!”

“We have send out kiddo to TLE for the past two years for pre-school. The staff is amazing, everyone from the admin team to the teachers really care about the kids. The building is bright and clean and focused on child safety. From rounded corners in the hallways to pinch guards on doors. They care. The curriculum is phenomenal. They focus on social development and teaching kids to be participants in their communities. Would recommend it to anyone who wants a well rounded schooling experience.”

“My child attended Cadence Academy from age one to five years old, and we had a great experience. She loved this school and all of the teachers she had. All of the staff were kind, professional, and supportive, and provided us with consistent communication and feedback. It was always clean and provided a great curriculum, preparing her for kindergarten. I would highly recommend this school.”

“My daughter had a wonderful experience visiting the Anne Frank Museum in NYC. It was a great opportunity for her and her friends to go together for learning and fun! Carl as the JCC Teen Engagement Director is doing an amazing job creating such fabulous programming for teens!”

“I have been a public school educator for 40 years, and I was really impressed with this facility and the program they are offering. I was invited into the school to read my children’s book and had the opportunity to speak to one of the teachers as well as the coordinators of the program. Very impressive, and I would highly recommend this for your little ones.”

“I have nothing but great things to say about TLE. My 3 year old has been attending since he was just under 2 year old. Like many parents, I was an absolute nervous wreck about putting my baby in daycare so young. But during our tour, Lee and Nicole answered every question I had and eased all of my worries and ensured me that he's in good hands. It's definitely one big beautiful family atmosphere. Everyday it's clear to me that everyone in this establishment really cares about the children. My son loves his teachers and has been absolutely blossoming, thriving, learning so much. We've grown a very close bond with everyone at TLE and I'm so beyond thankful for finding them. I highly highly recommend, if you're in the area and looking for childcare, check out The Learning Experience Blackwood for sure.”

“We chose over the rainbow after visiting several other daycares in the area and immediately noticing the difference with OTR. The facility is bright, clean, and welcoming. My daughter has learned so much since starting daycare here and loves going to school each day. Her teachers treat her as one of their own and communicate with us often, sending updates through the day. We are so happy with our choice and thankful to have found staff that treat our daughter and us as family.”

“My husband and I have been sending our daughter to the school since she was an infant. We have nothing but great things to say. The owner, directors, and teachers are so wonderful and you can tell how much they love the children they oversee and the dedication they have to each child’s growth and development. They keep the facility safe and clean for their students and staff will send regular photos and updates on your child’s progress. On top of these things, our daughter recently had to undergo surgery as a toddler and they have been so nice and accommodating as we worked to transition her back to school after her operation.

Overall, I highly recommend this facility to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their child. We’ve been so happy with the care our daughter receives! Thanks to the amazing staff!”

“The Goddard school in Sicklerville is amazing. After touring it, I knew this was the perfect place to send my son. The entire staff is great, the teachers are so welcoming.. they treat my son as if he’s their own. He truly loves going everyday- which is such a relief for me. I know my son is in great hands. Thank you!”

“By far one of the best schools around for my son who’s almost 3 and this is the 3rd daycare we have tried he’s loved every moment of being there so far in just a short amount of time you can tell the difference in his smile in the photos ?”

“We enrolled our baby almost a year ago, and the teachers take great care of all the children. They also have live-streaming cameras included in the tuition cost. The teachers are amazing—Ms. Gloria, Ms. Kelly, Ms. Kyla, Ms. Jordyn, and Ms. Breana are all such caring and wonderful people. My son smiles and hugs Ms. Kelly when I drop him off.”

“I am writing a review because I am so happy to see the other reviews about Ms. Crystal!
Meaning she is still with COA Turnersville, she had my twins in the year 2024 and unfortunately we moved out of state. My husband is stationed back in NJ and our first stop with our 4 yr old twins and 2 younger children is our first stop!
Crystal is more than amazing she was family. We were so comfortable, content and happy with her! Her classroom is so clean, fun and comfy, she goes so beyond her job with no cares! It just flows from her heart. I remember one instance where I came in visually upset after having my mom hospitalized and she let me sit in her room, gave me coffee and let me watch her work and it was an amazing experience! You need one of her at every COA! If I cannot have her for my twins I will homeschool my babies! Looking forward to return in the next upcoming weeks!”

“My son LOVES it here and asks to go to school on weekends. He’s made so many friends and he loves ALL of the teachers. You can tell the teachers truly enjoy and love the kiddos. I couldn’t imagine him anywhere else. The teachers and directors are all so kind and happily answer any of my questions or concerns. Safety is always a priority which is so important. My son loves the playground and all the fun activities! Especially during summer when they have water play, magicians, foam parties and more!”

“Our favorite thing about St. John’s is the teachers and staff.
Our son started St. John’s after a negative experience at another school. His St. John’s teacher was so kind and he instantly loved school. His behavior even improved both at school and at home.
Our son was diagnosed with a serious illness while attending St. John’s. The teachers were so accommodating about anything we needed, and never made us feel like a burden. With everything we stressed about over his health, it was so reassuring to never have to worry about whether or not he was being taken care of properly at school. The teachers truly love their students. We even had gifts show up from the teachers after his diagnosis.
St. John’s is a true family atmosphere. There are so many special events and family dinners. So many opportunities to get to know your child’s teachers and the other parents. I don’t know how they do it but somehow they select the most loving, one-of-a-kind teachers.
The children go outside just about every day (twice if they attend full day), unless the weather is extreme. The teachers post pictures for the parents to see, which we absolutely loved! I think the director even knows every child by name.
We are confident our son received the perfect education and experience to prepare him for kindergarten. As a nervous first-time mom, I just can’t say enough wonderful things about our time at St. John’s.”

“My daughter has been going here for a year. She started at 4 months old and we have nothing but good things to say. She loves her teachers and we always participate in the theme days and events!”

“NG Academy is one of the best daycare and pre-k schools in South Jersey. My child went here for over a year and changed in positive ways because of this school like developing speech and handwriting. He made friends and had a great experience overall. Ms. Shiro cares about the children and provides a fun, warm, and safe environment for kids to play, learn, grow, and explore new things. 10/10 recommend! Thank you for everything, Ms. Shiro! Much appreciated always!”

“My kids have been going here for 2 years now, and we look forward to start of Fall year. Both my kids are happy when we drop them off and happy when we pick them up. Thank you TLE for taking care of my kids so well.”

“We absolutely love Cadence Academy and cannot say enough wonderful things about them. The staff is incredibly responsible, caring, and loving toward the children. My son truly adores his teacher, he even asks about her on the weekends and requests to see her, which speaks volumes about the bond they’ve built.

When my son first started, he had a speech delay, but thanks to the consistent support and dedication from his teacher, he no longer even meets the criteria for speech therapy. They actively work with him on tracing letters, as well as number and letter recognition, and the progress we’ve seen has been amazing.

My oldest son also attends their summer camp and absolutely loves it. He talks about it all year long and can’t wait for summer to go back. The field trips are fantastic, and on non–field trip days the kids enjoy so many fun activities in their huge, fenced-in backyard.

Cadence Academy has exceeded our expectations in every way. We feel so grateful to have found a place where our children are loved, supported, and truly thrive. I highly recommend them to any family looking for exceptional care and education.”

“Honestly, if I could give this place a 10, I would! January 2019 to September 2022 I trusted this place with my daughter. My daughter even trusted when I left. That was never an issue. Which as a mother it really put my mind at ease. There’s never not an issue with anything in life. And let me tell you when there was ever one coming from me the owner immediately handled the situation. To the staff who have been there from start to finish for my child’s time there I thank you! & to the young ones who came and went I thank you. We are all always learning. Don’t forget that. THANK YOU ALL so much from the bottom of my heart. I really see it as you guys helped me raise my kid in a way ♥️”

“The overall experience is fantastic, and the all-inclusive fee makes it even better. That fee covers everything: a live camera feed for peace of mind (securely blocking changing areas and bathrooms for privacy), all food and snacks, and even diapers and wipes!

My son spent two and a half wonderful years there and had an amazing experience. Teachers like Ms. Mimi, Ms. Courtney, Mr. Alex, and Ms. Maya were all incredibly caring, and he learned so much from each of them. He transitioned to preschool doing remarkably well, which I attribute a lot to his time at La Petite.

My daughter is currently in the infant room, and the teachers there are truly the BEST. Ms. Dawn and Ms. Sarvari are absolutely amazing. My daughter has difficulty with bottles, and they have been so patient and loving with her. I couldn't be happier with the care they provide. They send frequent updates, complete with pictures and videos, and it's clear how much they love their jobs and genuinely care for the little ones. Now that my daughter is on solid foods, I honestly feel more comfortable with them feeding her sometimes because of their many years of experience. When my daughter was sick, Ms. Dawn even reached out to check on her. Ms. Sarvari has been there for years, and her dedication is incredible!

The supporting teachers who come into the classrooms, like Ms. Jean, Ms. Brittany, Ms. Aiyona, and Ms. Ayanna, are just as wonderful.

I do not want my daughter to move up to another class, but I know the next class will be just as amazing. This is the class my son started in, a few years back, so I know she will be in good hands.

Directors Lindsay and Jordan are also excellent.

When my children are at La Petite, I am completely at ease knowing they are safe and being treated with genuine love. I highly recommend checking them out; you will not be disappointed!”

“We love Lightbridge Academy in Mount Laurel. My child has been going there since infancy, and we have been so happy with every staff member, teacher, extra activity, and school event that has happened. I feel that my child is not only safe, but cared for with compassion and tenderness, which made the entire transition to daycare easier for me as a parent. The facility is clean and organized, the office staff warmly greets us every day at drop off and pick up, the toys are fun and educational, the lessons are engaging, and I know my child is very ready for the transition to kindergarten. We will truly miss our Lightbridge family when we leave. Thank you for taking such great care of my child.”

“My children have both attended here since they were infants. The education and care they receive is great, and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for childcare that is more than just someone watching your child. The things they learn at Goddard are incredible and really give them a leg up when it comes time for kindergarten and beyond.”

“at Children of America. She is truly an incredible part of the daycare team and makes such a positive difference every single day.

Ashley is amazing with the children — patient, caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in their growth and happiness. You can tell this isn’t just a job for her; she truly loves what she does. My child feels safe, supported, and excited to be there, which speaks volumes.

Her communication is outstanding. She keeps parents informed, responds thoughtfully to questions, and always makes sure we feel included in our child’s day and development. That level of transparency and care brings so much peace of mind.

Ashley is also a fantastic team player. She works seamlessly with the other staff members, contributes positively to the environment, and helps create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for both families and coworkers. Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication do not go unnoticed.

We are so grateful to have Ashley as part of our child’s early learning experience. She truly goes above and beyond, and Children of America is lucky to have her!

If you’d like, tell me a few specific examples (something she did for your child, how long you’ve known her, etc.), and I can make it even more personalized and powerful.”

“My children have been attending this center for many years. All the staff are extremely friendly and caring. There is always a family atmosphere to the center. I know my children are well loved when here.”

“We have been at Kindercare for 6 years. Several leadership and staffing changes as to be expected - pre and post covid- , however some essential teachers are the reason it is sticking together. Sam, Neen, Mercedes, Brittany, Daniella (and others!) have been there through thick and thin. The new center director, specifically Sara B, is the best thing that has happened to Kindercare Medford.”

“I honestly was completely nervous about having my daughter start daycare to begin with but they made it such an easy transition. Even when she has moved up in the different classes they made sure she was comfortable and loved.”

“Laurel Tree is a treat environment for kids to grow socially and academically! The teachers and administration are nurturing and patient and the facility is beautiful with lots of outdoor space!”

“I am not a member of Temple Beth Shalom, but have been to many events at the synagogue. On one of my first visits I was greeted by Ron Safier, the Executive Director. He was very hospitable and welcoming. He made me feel at home and like I was part of the congregation.”

“Since joining Inspire Early Education, I’ve felt truly welcomed and supported by Mr. Joe, Miss Liz, and Ms. Joe. From day one, they made me feel like a valued part of the team, and their guidance has made a meaningful impact on my experience here.

As the head teacher of the Pre-K classroom, I genuinely enjoy working with the children each day. Watching them learn, grow, and develop new skills is incredibly rewarding. Inspire Early Education provides a nurturing and structured environment that puts the children first, and I’m proud to be part of that mission.

I’m grateful to work at a place that values early education and supports its educators in creating a positive learning experience for every child.”
