“? There are truly no words to express how thankful I am for The Learning Experience in Englewood Cliffs. ?

After several schools in Fort Lee and the surrounding area, we finally found a place where my son not only learns—he is genuinely happy. My son has mild autism, and I can say with all my heart that this school has been an absolute blessing for our family. We start in 2023.

From day one, the environment has been incredibly inclusive, kind, and full of love. Every single staff member has earned our deepest respect and affection. They don’t just teach—they make a real difference in children’s lives.

? We absolutely adore Ms. Pamela, Ms. Mary, Ms. Milagros, the Director, Ms. Natacha, Ms. Bianca, Mr. Sebastian… EVERYONE is amazing. Each person has contributed something beautiful and meaningful to my child’s development.

At this school, we have found respect, inclusion, growth, and above all—love. There is no discrimination, no labels—just real support and commitment to every child. The kids feel seen, valued, and understood.

I can honestly say: I don’t care what I have to pay, because I refuse to compromise my son’s emotional well-being and learning. He deserves the best, and we’ve found it here.

Thank you, truly. Thank you for being more than a school. Thank you for being a community, a family, and a safe space where our children thrive.

With all my heart,
A forever grateful mom.”

“I’ve been a teacher at TLE for just over a year. The directors are amazing and offer plenty of support to their staff. I was given the opportunity to complete my CDA as one of the perks offered to employees, which has enabled me to advance my career as a toddler teacher. The bond that I have made with my coworkers is amazing. We all work together to help and support each other. It truly feels like we’re a family. Overall, my experience working here has been fantastic!”

“You can take systematic and professional basic classes Lv.2 Lv3.
Serai instructor is good for beginners who are learning the basics of swimming.
I also recommend learning from Kyle and Branden after beginners.
You can learn more about advanced swimming skills and professional games, skills, and postures.
I took the class from lv.2 for exactly 1 year, and my 6-year-old child passed the swimming team evaluation.
When looking at the growth and classes objectively over the past year, the best advantage of the center's classes was that the swimming instructors explained sufficiently and made class kids and parents understand.
They suggested ways to think about, approach, and enjoy exercise, not just classes.
Therefore, my little piggy was able to learn happily without giving up.

If consider, swim team. Jcc coach Nile is a specialist and not only him, but also sub coaches are also very good.
AS parents, we expect the kids to be good swimmers. Here in JCC, not only good swimmer but also learn attitude and mind. I really respect this teaching approach, and thanks.
My little piggy will be the center's proud one day or someday, and this program's instructors and programs are my proud.

More than my references, good ?”

“My daughter started this school last year and I have nothing but great things to say. They are caring, responsible, and just such amazing people. Miss Christa’s class is just the best She is the kind of teacher that you want for your kids, Someone that you can see and feel That really cares for the children and you can see it through their growth. My daughter has learned so much. She is just three years old and Sometimes I’m amazed myself with the things that she learns at school. She loves to school so much that some weekends she begs to go back to school. They have a schedule calendar every month with activities and fun things to do. They keep you updated throughout the day about what your child is doing, which is great and it gives you a really good peace of mind. overall just a nice place for the kids to be the area is really quiet and safe. The playground is very spacious which I think it’s a great thing so the kids can run around safely. Would 100% recommend this school.”

“We made a switch from a nearby daycare in white plains to Kiddie Academy a few months ago.
It was the right decision, we love it here so much. The teachers Imani and Leah are all like a family and their consistency and long term presence makes it a great place.”

“This is my favorite place in the whole world! I went to camp and school here and my mother worked in the nurses office and my brother was a camp counselor. The drama department is outstanding and I dream about the food to this day. I hope to return again someday and bring my kiddo to the fun!”

“I couldn't have asked for a better pre-school for my daughter. She graduated with a conversational level in a second language, and I have no doubt that years later this experience has helped her thrive as a top honors student.

Prospect Academy is a place that nurtures creativity, community, personal and academic growth, responsibility, and a love of the arts. The added bonus of spending multiple hours outdoors each day was also a significant plus.”

“My siblings and I all attended Sacred Heart starting in the late 70's. There are 5 of us and all turned out relatively successful (software engineer, doctor, teacher, business owner, executive). I credit Sacred Heart with providing us with the stepping stones that encouraged and prepared us for our life journey after the 8th grade.I made the choice to continue the legacy and send my son to Sacred Heart as well. It remains an excellent school which fosters a close-knit community. So far, the teachers and staff have been fantastic. You really start to understand the quality of education at Sacred Heart when you interact with parents and students from other schools. Alongside the educational element, the school does an outstanding job of teaching discipline, moral values, and social skills. It's heartening to see these shine through as my son grows and develops at Sacred Heart. I am not convinced that the excitement and joy he exudes each and every day towards learning would come out by attending any other school.”

“Our daughter has been with Lightbridge Academy Elmsford since she was just 2 years old (she recently graduated) and our experience over the years has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the entire team has been incredibly attentive, nurturing, and professional. We’ve always felt confident that our daughter was in the best hands. They’ve played a big part in shaping her early years and for that we’ll always be grateful. If you’re looking for a daycare where your child will be well cared for, supported, and truly loved, Lightbridge Academy Elmsford is the place.”

“Gorgeous center. Staff are amazing. Equipment is always top of the line. Classes are diverse with talented instructors. Experienced personal trainers. Clean and welcoming. Five star experience everytime.”

“My son has been here for over a year, and we are so in love with TLE!As newly arrived family in the US, I really worried about my son's language barrier because he couldn't speak English at that time. So transition time was tough for us for the first 2 weeks, but all staffs and teachers were so friendly and welcoming so he could easily make himself comfortable. And now my son loves his school so much and always complain me why I'm so early to pick him up.I love to see him learning a lot from different programs and projects, and love his classmate so much. They're all so adorable and get along well with my son.if anyone from outside of the US, and hesitate to choose local preschool, I would strongly recommend TLE Tenafly is one of the best option you can get!”

“Wonderful staff and program! We attended only one year of their summer camp but it was truly wonderful. The staff is warm and welcoming. They made sure got plenty of outside time and set up a really fun and memorable time for the kids. The building is set up like a little school so its really wonderful for kids to get an idea of what it will be like once they move on to kindergarten. The preschool years are so special so you want to make sure your kids go to a place where they are understood and work with where they are while being encouraged to grow. This is one of those places. The staff was beyond understanding when I had an emergency and realized I would not be able to pick up my kid on time. It was such a blessing to have her in a safe place while I handled it. The after-school programming is a wonderful extra touch as well.”

“Red Owl, where my 4-year-old attends, is truly exceptional. The dedicated teachers and staff create an enriching environment that fosters both learning and genuine care. Their commitment to nurturing young minds goes beyond the ordinary, making it a place where my child not only learns but also flourishes. I am consistently impressed by the creativity, patience, and passion exhibited by the team at Red Owl, making it a truly remarkable center for early childhood education.”

“This review is for the aquatic program at JCC. We could not find a better place for our swimming enthusiast 4 year old! Brandon, his coach, does a fabulous job! It’s been a while since I have seen someone so interested in his job! He’s so patient with little kids, always meets him with a big smile that doesn’t fade. My kid loves the water but I can see those kids who are a little nervous are also making progress. The pools is nice and big. Tuition is reasonable.”

“Amazing experience getting my new Cadillac from Eddie Carter. He made the whole process fast, easy and seamless. 5 stars all around for the entire Trinity Cadillac team!! Thank you!!”

“Our 5 year old son has practically been raised since birth by the amazing team at KC. When he started at just 9 weeks old, Miss Janet hugged me and reassured me that my baby would be so loved in their care. Since then, Miss Janet not only took care of our son as though he were her own, but also took the same loving care of our second born son 3 years later. As our oldest now prepares to graduate and move on to elementary school this year, I know that he has the tools and ability to take on anything that comes his way and friendships that will last a lifetime. Some of the other amazing caregivers who have been by our side on this 5 year journey are specifically Miss Ashley, Miss Navi, Miss Alicia, and Miss Tania. Look no further than OTKC when searching for top notch care.”

“The staff is so warm and welcoming. They truly love all of the children in their care and make it a priority to get to know each family. The directors Ms.Chika and Ms.Perla have gone above and beyond to make TLE Dobbs Ferry a truly special place. I couldn't be happier with TLE Dobbs Ferry! ❤️”

“I've had two kids attend this school and I don't believe I could have found a better place, locally or regionally. The teachers and staff have been, and are still viewed as a second family by my children and the care and education they're received is unparalleled. My wife and I cannot thank everyone working at Yearling enough for everything they've done for us!! We're truly grateful for you dedication, professionalism and the unconditional love our children received each and every day.”

“Lightbridge Academy of Bergenfield is an absolute standout. Amanda, the Director, runs a truly fantastic program and is highly involved in the day-to-day activities of the school. Amanda goes above and beyond to accommodate the needs of each family, and is aided by a wonderful office staff and group of teachers who really invest in each child under their care. Parents and children are personally greeted upon entering the school each morning, adding to the warm and cheerful nature they've created. Lightbridge Bergenfield has not just been a daycare for our son, but a truly enriching academic environment.”

“My two sons attended daycare here for two years, even through the height of the pandemic. They stayed open and followed all the safety protocols, which was such a comfort in a hectic time. Ms. Hope was always so loving and caring with our two boys. They were always happy to come and happy at pick-up time.”

“It is a great place for families to grow generationally. The best senior citizen service, child care service, and fitness classes the Industy has to offer and all in 1 place.”

“We love the teachers here. Owners and admins are nice and responsive.The school offers a great curriculum and has a variety of extra-curriculum opportunities. School hours are also very parent friendly.”

“Highly recommend! Teachers and staff are amazing - we love getting to chat with them at beginning and end of the day. Our child loves going to school and is safe, having fun, socializing with other kids and is beyond well taken care of - we've been going since 5 months old! The daily activities and curriculum are incredible. The app is wonderful to be updated on what's happening each day. We are so happy with the choice we made to go to Bright Horizons at Westchester Executive Park!”

“I feel in love with the entire building my child has been attending for 2 years and even until this day I have a hard time taking her home because she doesn't want to leave. the love and affection that she receives from her previous teachers until now with her current teacher it's just amazing, I love how Ms Natalie it's so caring and lovely with all the kids and you can see it when your kids don't want to leave the classroom that all they are receiving is genuine love and affection.”

“All Saints Childcare has been an incredible place for both my daughter and son, who attended from the infant room all the way through to intermediate 2 (4-year-old room). The teachers are exceptionally loving and kind, creating a warm and nurturing environment for the children. They strike the perfect balance between kindness and setting necessary boundaries, ensuring a safe and structured space for learning and growth.

The director, Paula, is truly dedicated and goes above and beyond to make the childcare experience special. She organizes wonderful events like the Thanksgiving show and the graduation show, which are always highlights of the year. Her commitment to the children and their families is evident in everything she does.

Overall, All Saints Childcare has provided our family with a supportive and enriching environment, and we are grateful for the positive impact it has had on our children's development.”

“Our son is the second child that has attended The Little Red because we were so impressed with Anna a few years ago when our daughter was there. His verbal, behavioral and social skills have advanced incredibly since September. He is always talking about his friends, Mrs. M/Ms. Noelle and all of the things he has done that day. Anna has a different weekly theme which includes stories, arts and crafts, sensory bin, etc. The children not only work on their communication and behavioral skills, but also gross and fine motor skills as well. The class size is small with 6 children per 2 adults which allows the children to connect with each other and enhance their learning. Anna is also wonderful with potty training and will give advice on any issues/concerns you may have with your childs learning/behavior. We are sad that the school year is coming to an end because it means that our family’s time is up with Anna. I would not hesitate recommending TLR to anyone as it is a caring and enriching environment for your child.”

“Needed to have a test done here. The place is immaculate. There was no wait time and everyone I dealt with was kind, caring and knowledgeable. Definitely made my experience stress free. They also followed all Covid protocols.”

“Ms. Sandra, the Assistant Director, is wonderful. Very kind, helpful, and goes above and beyond in supporting the school, families, and children. Lovely person all around. Would recommend the Goddard School!”
