My daughter has been going to Safari kid since Sep 2022 and recently joined their summer program. She is absolutely loving the summer program as it allows her to interact with her peers, explore new things, activities and play based learning. Even when she was in preschool, I saw a huge progress in her learning and social skills. Teachers are very compassionate and understanding and they take a lot of effort in making sure that the child feels safe. I get good feedback on how she is performing vs what she needs to work upon. I am very happy to recommend this school.

After searching many preschools, we decided to enroll in safari kid Newark. I was a little nervous because my son was going to home base daycare and now he needs to go to preschool, had a lot of questions like will he be able to adjust? Will he be able to eat by himself? Am I taking the right decision? It's been more than a month and I am so happy with my son's happy smile and the way he is enjoying it. Safari Kid Newark staff is very kind. They are helping my son to eat if he can't eat by himself. Help him to adjust to the new environment and new phase. The curriculum and activities are great here. I can see progress in my son and am very happy with it. Thank you Safari Kid Newark staff!

We have been sending our 3.5 year old here for more than a year. My son loves the teachers and tells us he does love the place. Also they make teaching fun with various classes on art , dance , sports . The teachers here often meet us and tell us about how our son is doing and what he needs improvement with . We are glad we found this place !

If I could give a 0 stars I would. My son attended in 2022 for only 2 months and was 3 years old at the time (very verbal). He was very excited to start his new school as his daycare closed due to relocation. After the third day he began crying and I just thought it was the new kid jitters. After about 2 weeks of nonstop crying I knew something was wrong! Always trust your mommy gut. One time he told me he was hungry and I asked him if he ate his lunch and he said he had dropped it. No one called me knowing I only worked 3 minutes away! My poor son went almost all day without lunch! We'll i let it slide. Then he told me one of the teachers was mean and hit another kid. I honestly didn't think too much of it when I should have but since it wasn't him, I didn't think much of it. What drew the line is my son came to me and said his teacher pulled his ear. I immediately spoke with the director the next day and told her that my son would not lie about something like this and she was trying to say that it didn't happen and she would talk to the teacher to see what was going on. After school I was expecting a meeting but the director was "busy" so I knew I needed written documentation and emailed her. She tried to say that they give facial massages during nap and maybe the teacher rubbed his ear wrong and hurt him but for my son to cry for two months going to that school I knew it was complete BS. I was going to pull him immediately but they didn't want to refund me my last month's pay, but out of no where, they did. I assumed so nothing else would happen and I'd report it because I did threaten if one more innocent happens I would! I didn't do anything but decided to write a review to warn parents because until this day when we pass the school, my son say remember my teacher was mean and pulled my ear. They TRAUMATIZED my son. I'd gate to think race has anything to do with it as my son was one of the only Hispanics. I also should have known better when we went to tour one of the moms was upset because they didn't take into consideration to learn black history but taught only their culture but whatever. My son was happy to leave and is loving and thriving at his new preschool which developed him for kinder this year. Hope this helps any parent considering this center! I wouldn't do it!

This is a review from past. Our daughter joined Safari Kids in Jan when she was 2yrs old. The teacher in her class took great care of her. Everything was great until July. One day her regular teacher was absent and someone else was "watching" the kids. My daughter broke her foot due to a shelf landing on her. I rushed over to take her to ER, upon arrival it seemed they were being vague on what happened. Also all the shelves has been removed from the room she was in, and they wouldn't explain. I am not the kind of person that would liked a thorough explanation and what they did to make sure it doesnt happen again.

My little one attended preschool here for 3 hours a day for about 6 months and we had a very positive experience with Safari Kid Newark. The teacher's were very kind and attentive to my kid's needs and took good care of her. The school organizes celebrations around memorable days like father's day, mother's day, st. patrick's day etc and those always livened up the parents' day as well during drop off and pickup.All the folks working here have been very responsive to us and helped us understand and helped us parents and the child adjust to the transition of moving to a preschool from being at home / being taken care of by a nanny.Overall we had a great experience here and would recommend Safari Kid Newark to any parent looking for a preschool where their child can learn and grow.

My kids attended the Summer camp program in Safari Kid. We initially enrolled them in part time program, but my kids loved the program a lot and wanted to go full time. They enjoyed their time in The summer camp, with lots of play and learning, including arts and crafts. We are thankful to the teachers for engaging the kids and making learning playful and enthusiastic. Would highly recommend.

My kid has been going to Safari Kids Newark since Sep 2019. It has been good experience for me as a parent in both online as well as in person version.Kiddo attended online class for few weeks before we decided to send her in person during the pandemic. She loves to interact and was able to get engaged with the teacher (Ms Deepa) as the teacher made sure all kids are heard and have good 1:1 interaction. I understand how difficult it is for both kids and teachers to interact through zoom. But kudos to the teachers who had patience, energy and engaging material to keep her attention for as much as possible.I also started in person class and kid has been going since last couple of months now. The center follows all the guidelines and have mandated mask wearing for everyone(including kids) and regular sanitization of the area, toys etc. Yes its difficult times for all of us but really appreciate all the teachers for doing everything to provide safe place for kids.Special shout out to Ms Aparna, Ms Radhika, Ms Deepa and Ms Satya. You guys are awesome !

Both my daughters go to Safari kid for after school day care. We are extremely happy with the experience. The teachers are great and very responsive to our feedback, esp. when we needed some adjustments. They organize inter safari kid events and lot effort is put into prepping the kids to compete in the events.Highly recommend.

We are very pleased with putting our daughter to this Safari kid! All teachers here are caring and loving. They will listen to your requests and concern. Twice a year parents teacher conference hep you analyze your child’s progress. My daughters socializing skills have been improved. Her public speaking has improved as well. She has wide vocabulary at age 4. School celebrates all festivals and public occasions of different region , which teaches our child to respect and learn more about different cultures!In the end I would like to say Miss Aparna, Regional director, she is really good at her job. She is always in touch with other parents. Director of the facility Miss Kshama is always smiling and welcoming to kids and parents.I would like to say Big Thank you to My DD Class teacher Miss Usha. She knows how to tackle each child with their personalities. My Daughter loves all her teachers.

We moved to Fremont last year. Since then my son is going to Safari kids for slmost a year now. When he started school at the age of 3, he had lots of problem adjusting in the new environment and had strong seperation anxiety. He had daycare and school failures. I was very nervous. But Safari kids was a wonderful experience. The staff is amazingly patient, kind and loving. My son liked the school and started enjoying. He has lot of fun in school. I am very thankful to all the teachers.love you SAFARI KIDS
