Schools near West Windsor, NJ

“We’ve had an amazing experience at The Goddard School of West Windsor. Our son attended full-time from infancy through kindergarten, and our daughter started as an infant and will begin Pre-K in the fall.

There’s truly no other school we would trust with our children’s early education. We even chose this location—despite it being a 15-minute drive—over another Goddard School just 2 minutes from our home, which says a lot about the quality of care here.

The on-site owners, Dawn and Stu, are incredibly involved and genuinely care about every child. The directors are open to feedback and the teachers are warm, attentive, and dedicated. Since they spend so much time with our kids during the week, trust is everything—and we’ve always felt completely confident in the care our children receive.

The school is also very welcoming and diverse, which has been important to our family.

We highly recommend The Goddard School of West Windsor to any parents looking for a nurturing, reliable, and high-quality early childhood program.”

“My son started attending this daycare in late October, shortly after turning four, and my daughter started in March, shortly after turning two. Overall, we have had a very positive experience.

One thing I have especially appreciated is the staff's understanding, flexibility, and communication when unexpected situations arise. It is reassuring to know they are willing to work with families and provide support when needed.

The transition from our previous daycare was a big adjustment for our family, and the staff made the process much easier. They took the time to answer my questions, address my concerns, and help us feel comfortable every step of the way. Trusting your children with people you do not know well is never easy, so their kindness and support meant a lot to us.

I also appreciate the events and activities they host throughout the year. The children enjoy them, and it is nice to have opportunities for families to be involved and connected to the daycare community.

I have also enjoyed seeing both of my children learn and grow here. My son's teachers have been willing to provide more challenging work when requested, and my daughter's teachers have been supportive and consistent with her potty training, helping reinforce the routines we use at home. The staff is always approachable and willing to help whenever I have questions or concerns.

Something else I appreciate is the positive atmosphere among the staff. There seems to be a genuine sense of teamwork, and that kindness and care carry over into their interactions with the children. Most importantly, I feel confident that my children are well cared for, happy, and excited to be there. We are grateful for everything they do and look forward to continuing our time here. Based on our experience, I would gladly recommend this daycare to other families looking for a caring, supportive, and engaging environment for their children.”

“Watching Aarna grow at Learning Experience North Brunswick has been one of the most emotional and beautiful journeys for our family. ❤️

She has become a whole different personality here — so social, confident, active, outgoing, happy, and full of excitement every single day. As parents, there is no greater feeling than seeing your child truly flourish in an environment filled with love and care.

A huge thank you to Ms. Tiah, Ms. Jaliah, and Ms. Sue for loving Aarna like your own. The warmth, patience, hugs, encouragement, and attention you give these children leave a lifelong impact on families like ours.

Thank you to Ms. Charlotte and owner Sheetal for maintaining such a clean, beautiful, welcoming facility where children feel safe, valued, and genuinely loved.

Knowing Aarna runs into school smiling every morning says everything. We are forever grateful to have been part of the Learning Experience family. ?”

I WILL CHOOSE LIGHT BRIDGE ACADEMY ON ROUTE 27 NORTH BRUNSWICK NJ AGAIN AND AGAIN ❤️❤️❤️??.”

“We had a wonderful tour with Alica and were so impressed by the warmth of all the instructors we met, along with the detailed and well-thought out curriculum. We are so excited for our children to enroll here!”

“We have had such a wonderful experience at Inclusive Montessori. The staff is amazing, caring, attentive, and dedicated, and my child is always so happy here. The owner, Syeda Lubna Haroon, is incredibly kind, cooperative, and thoughtful. I highly recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing and supportive environment.”

“Very happy with their service. My daughter has been going here for three weeks now and hasn’t missed a single day or gotten sick. I’m a very picky parent when it comes to childcare—this is her third daycare—and I finally feel at ease. The director and staff truly pay attention and treat each child as an individual with their own personality and needs. You can feel the care the moment you walk in.”

“We’ve had such a positive experience with this daycare center since our child started at just three months old. From the very beginning, the staff has been incredibly warm, caring, and nurturing, which gave us so much peace of mind as new parents.

The environment is always clean, well-organized, and clearly maintained with great attention to detail. It’s obvious that the team takes pride in creating a safe and welcoming space for the children.

What stands out the most is how attentive and engaged the caregivers are. They truly take the time to understand each child’s needs and personality, and it shows in the way they interact with them every day.

We feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful place for our child. I would absolutely recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a loving and trustworthy environment.”

“PNS is an extended part of my family. I found this school a few years ago while on the hunt for quality and affordable childcare. I loved reading the positive reviews which made me call and get a tour of the school. The director and overall staff made me feel like I made the right decision for my child's preschool experience.The staff does a great job with communication and giving updates of your child throughout the day. I loved the activities that were offered. I enjoyed how inclusive the school was. In addition I appreciated the safety and security measures. My child was able to take swim classes and go on field trips during the spring/summer. Each week there was fresh produce and bakery goods donated by local businesses for families in need. For the holidays there were incentives that really helped the families throughout the school as well. If you're in the area, please check out this school and learn about the history behind the school. I always mention pns when I come across local mothers who need childcare.”

“As I reflect on 2025 and look at pictures of my growing daughter, I can’t help but smile at all of the pictures we have at our favorite place - Gymboree.

She is 2.5 years old now, but we started coming here last Winter, shortly after she began running around and needing more stimulation. Although shy and reserved at times, she has truly come out of her shell here. I can’t thank the owner and staff enough for the care they put into our kids.

We started our journey in the runners class, moved up to the explorers class, and more recently have began gentle separation in the PreK steps classroom as well. Due to the varying classes including those for mixed ages/abilities, I have been able to have many “play-dates” with friends who have little ones of all ages. We celebrated our daughter’s 2nd birthday this past year and all of the parents raved about how much fun their children had.

My daughter requests to come here daily and this has truly become our home away from home!”

“I cannot say enough about how much we love the teachers at Lightbridge East Windsor. My daughter has been at this daycare for almost three years now and my son just started in March. Over the years my daughter has had outstanding teachers in every classroom that she’s been in. She absolutely adored Ms. Kayla and Ms. Tori in Purple, and had a blast with Ms. Hanifa in Orange. Her current teacher, Ms. Molly, is outstanding; she’s so kind and has the best temperament. I feel like my daughter’s days in Yellow are the perfect combination of fun and learning. There have also been some core favorites like the fabulous Ms. Faina that have been with her over the years. My son’s teachers in the infant room (Ms. Bridget, Ms. Sophonie, & Ms. H) are so engaging and nurturing. It’s a tremendous comfort knowing my baby is in such competent, warm hands. A number of the teachers have been at the school since my daughter started, which says a lot about their retention! The leadership (Ms. Josephine, Dr. Courtney & Ms. Jocelyn) are very hands-on and present. I constantly see them in the classrooms interacting with kids throughout the day, which I love. Any time that we have had a concern about my daughter they have been responsive and worked with us to provide the best care. What will always stand out to me the most is how much the teachers LOVE my kids. With how much time they spend at daycare, you don’t want your kids to just be watched, you want them to be loved. It’s the most reassuring feeling to know that my kids spend their days surrounded by people who genuinely care about them. They are my children’s village, which is priceless to us.”

“My son attended Little Scholars for two years while 3 and 4 years old and it was truly the best experience for him and our family! Thanks to the amazing teachers he grew so much academically and emotionally. He made wonderful friendships and has such fond memories from his time there. We miss the entire Little Scholars family!”

“I couldn’t be more pleased with our experience at Kiddie Academy of Robbinsville. From the moment you walk through the doors, you are welcomed with so much love and care. The attention to detail, engaging activities, and opportunities provided for our daughter have been nothing short of spectacular. Each staff member who has worked with her holds a very special place in our hearts. We are so grateful for the nurturing environment they’ve created and the dedication they show every single day.”

“We are so grateful for the love and care our child receives at TLE. The staff truly treat the children like family and provide parents with great peace of mind.

A special thank you to Ms. Jasmine and Ms. Ashley for taking such wonderful care of my little one, and to Ms. Hanisha for always being supportive, understanding, and helpful. Ms. Renu and Ms. Mary are also incredibly kind and caring.

Everyone at TLE is patient, compassionate, and dedicated. My child is happy, safe, and thriving here. I highly recommend TLE to any parent looking for a nurturing and trustworthy daycare.”

“Our son has been attending Sapling School since he was a year old. He is now 4 years old! This will be our child’s last year as he enters kindergarten in the fall. Sapling School has been so welcoming over the years. Ive always appreciated their transparency and active communication to the parents. They also offer extracurricular activities in the summer like sports camp, which I thought was nice for our son to stay active. I will personally miss Parent’s Night, that was a nice treat for us.?”

“We truly feel that we made the right choice with this daycare. Our son started here as an infant at 10 months old, and now at 28 months, he is happy, confident, and truly flourishing.

Every morning, he walks in with a smile—and in the evenings, he often doesn’t want to leave, which is the best sign we could ask for as parents.

We’re especially grateful for the variety of activities, the thoughtful guidance, and the genuine care provided by the team. It’s clear that the staff truly cares about each child’s development and well-being.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone—from the teachers to the admin team, the director, and the owners. You all make such a difference, and we appreciate you more than words can say. ❤️”

“I highly recommend this place. My daughter has made so many friends and they helped potty train her as well! The pricing is super reasonable and they always try to take the kids outside and play which I love. And it’s like a classroom setting, which my 3 year old has really benefited from.

Love this place happy we found them”

“I can’t imagine a better daycare than Edgebrook KinderCare. Every teacher and staff member is kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to the children. Miss Crystal is exceptional—she goes above and beyond every day, teaching not only academics but also life skills and positivity. Miss Vicki, the director, is incredibly responsive and always ready to help with any questions or concerns. We couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”

“We feel very fortunate to come to know about Elements Montessori academy through a friend and meet Mrs. Hema Krishna Kumar when we were searching for options to send our daughter back to school for kindergarten after the covid gap year when we were hesitating to send her to school. All EMA Staff are very friendly, professional and take very good care of the kids and take all necessary covid pre-cautions. After only a few days we stopped worrying too much about covid. My daughter loves the school and does not want to miss even a single day. The Program is excellent for all round development of the children and as explained by Mrs. Hema Krishna Kumar on our first visit there is no set limited syllabus, based on how the child is progressing new topics/skill levels are introduced. Thank you very much Mrs. Krishna Kumar, Mrs. Bhavani and the rest of the staff at EMA. We just started to send our younger son here as well. Thank you Mrs. Bala and Mrs. Matthew.- Pulsani Family”

“We had a wonderful experience with our daughter attending here for preschool this past year. Staff was friendly, her teacher was so caring, and the school is clean and safe. Daily communication makes it easy to know what they were doing each day and we knew she was always well cared for.”

“Been so happy with our experience with Bright Horizons. Teachers are wonderful and Director is fantastic. Place is always clean, welcoming, and has a calmness that we did not find touring other day cares. We are so happy we found Bright Horizons for our family!”

“Amazing experience. I have no words to express my gratitude towards such excellent and knowledgeable teachers especially, Miss Ritu, Miss Pihu and Miss Manisha. They really have a great experience to handle kids, teach them good manners, reading, writing and what not. My child misses them a lot and talks most of the time about them. Me and my husband are very grateful that we enrolled him at Lightbridge. I would 100 percent recommend this child care. Thank you a lot lovely teachers ?”

“We are thrilled with the services and support provided by the Goddard School.The teachers are true partners in child development. The daily reports and photos help us as parents to understand our child's development more completely. We also deeply appreciate the kindness and warmth of the staff- it means the world to us.”

“We absolutely love The Harmony School. Our kids are so happy here as they’re learning, growing, and most importantly, they feel safe and loved every single day. It’s amazing to see how much they’re exposed to, from Spanish and cooking to dance, music, and sports.

The teachers are incredibly kind, attentive, and experienced. What really stands out is how everyone knows all the children (not just their own class) and takes the time to say hello. It feels like a real community.

It’s such a warm, happy environment, and I genuinely can’t imagine sending our kids anywhere else.”

“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.”

“Great school! My son went to this school has been over a year. The new owner and the Teacher are very friendly and caring. The school is very clean and new. We feel comfortable in this school.”

“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!”

“Both my toddlers have been at School Time since they were 5 months old and it has been incredible watching them learn and grow so much here. Most of their teachers and staff have been there since their first day and treat our kids like family! Our son also navigated some health issues and they were beyond accommodating, making sure our son had the support he needed. We love School Time!”

“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.”
