Schools near Allentown, NJ

“Since originally enrolling over 7 years ago the ownership changed hands at the end of 2018. The new changes to the center have only added to the value and experience for my children.My oldest has been enrolled in KA of UF for over 7 years. Starting fulltime at 12 weeks old and since moving to their before/after care. Newell Elementary School provides bussing to and from the center which makes it convenient to have one place to drop off and pick up both kids. My youngest has been in for over 3 years and was fulltime through the pandemic since I was an essential worker and required to be in the office. The policies they implemented, intense cleaning regiment, and open communication they provided throughout made me feel comforted that he would be safe and healthy during the pandemic. KA has always treated my family like family. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with smiles and pleasant hellos which are only echoed by the teachers when dropping your kids off in their classrooms. You can tell the teachers truly care for your children and their well-being. The hallways are covered with artwork and pictures of fun activities that change throughout the year. The classrooms have even more artwork revolving around a theme for the season. The education program is great, with the school year having weekly themes that have a logical flow for the children to follow. Besides the administrative staff, Naylon (the owner) is there (almost) everyday and her door is always open to listen to your compliments, concerns, or issues. The entire staff is always very open and honest about issues, potential closures, or illnesses. There is always important information provided through the Tadpole app to keep you informed. Including fun events that they put on periodically throughout the year like trunk or treat, muffins with mom, donuts with dad, magic shows, and more. Always hoping yoga with goats will come back.As an added bonus, KA of UF also has cameras which is always a nice comfort. I enjoy peeking in on my youngest periodically to see what kind of chaos he is causing.”

“Our daughter started here back in February at 7 months old. We have nothing but amazing things to say about the school, teachers and the administration. Ms. Grace, Ms. Victoria, Ms. Amanda, Ms. Arlett and Ms. Tiffany have provided such care to her in the infant room. We love getting our daily pictures and videos of the activities and lessons she receives during the day. Even at such a young age, they work on her fine motor skills and have a set curriculum. Highly recommend the Goddard School of Bordentown - being full-time parents with an infant needing to be in daycare full-time puts our minds at ease. Thank you to Ms. Denise, Ms. Jessika and the entire staff!”

“Look no further for your preschool and daycare needs !! My daughter has been going here since she is 2 and I can vouch for this place . Loving and caring staff (shout out to the center director -Sapna ) who goes above and beyond in their day to day duties every SINGLE day!! Their kindergarten program is best in class as I see a leap in my daughter’s academic growth in less than 6 months of starting kindergarten .. at the end Happy kid means Happy parents !!”

“This school is amazing! Staff are very friendly and take a very good care of kids. My twin girls enjoy their time at school and They love all their teachers. I would like to thank each and everyone who has given such a wonderful learning place to kids. Ms Kala really does exceptionally great work. My kids learned so many things within no time. Special thanks to Mrs. Haroon.”

“My experience with Lightbridge Academy has been nothing short of exceptional. As parents, dropping off our daughter for the first time was nerve-wracking, but thanks to the incredible support and care provided by Miss Kate, the Director, and Miss Katie, the Assistant Director, we felt instantly at ease.From the moment our daughter joined in July 2023 as a member of the Khaki Kangaroo class, the warmth and dedication of all teachers, particularly Miss Lina, her lead teacher, were evident. Miss Lina treated our daughter with such care and attention, providing invaluable feedback and guidance to help her adjust to her new environment.As our daughter made the transition to the Yellow Ducks classroom under the guidance of Miss Danielle, Miss Lina and Miss Kate demonstrated exceptional commitment to her adjustment process. Their thoughtful recommendation to introduce our daughter to Miss Danielle daily in the week before her move significantly facilitated her transition and put our minds at ease.My daughter has truly enjoys being a part of Yellow Ducks family, under the guidance of the wonderful Miss Danielle. Seeing her return home each day with a radiant smile is a clear indication of the warmth and joy she finds in this nurturing environment.”

“TLE of Lawrenceville by Costco has been amazing with our children (we’ve had kids move through every age bracket). Teachers and admin are loving, attentive, supportive and energetic. Summer programs are robust and the kids love it here!”

“Our son has been attending Goddard WW for 10 months and we are very happy we decided on this daycare. We appreciate the joyful, caring and enthusiastic staff as well as their open communication. Additionally we love the location on a safe farm road with lots of trees and fun, open outdoor play area. They also have a nice gym which is great for toddler play on rainy days. Finally the facilities are extremely clean compared to other day cares we visited. We feel very comfortable with the level of care our son receives from Goddard teachers and staff.”

“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”

“Over the rainbow has been nothing short of amazing! From the staff to the owner who is always available and making sure everyone is well taken care of. You’re not just another child in their facility but you’re treated like family. We are always greeted when walking through the doors and hallways. Everyone is pleasant, and not a day goes by my child doesn’t come home with something new to say! I can go on, and on, but to say the least I am beyond grateful for such an awesome team behind my child!”

“If you're on the journey of exploring daycare options for your child(ren), your arduous search can end here. I can't say enough about the quality of the staff and overall environment at this location.Having gone through some disappointing and upsetting experiences at other daycare centers, transitioning to this Goddard School location was like clouds parting. Our girls (1 and 3 when they started, now 2 and 4) love their teachers, their classmates, the school directors, and the rockstar owner, Kim. The development they've gone through from educational, social, and emotional standpoints has been remarkable, and noticeably more positive than previous experiences.The staff is not only amazing with the children, but also with the parents. They are a well-oiled machine, always present and welcoming, on top of communication about matters both big and small, and operate with an extremely appreciated empathy for the parental experience, making our daily routine as easy as possible.Their prices are competitive when stacked up against other centers, and what they deliver is above and beyond.In a nutshell - placing a child into daycare is always a difficult experience emotionally, logistically, and financially. For us, the anxiety and stress that we felt when searching for quality care has entirely disappeared since we joined this Goddard School location, and has not resurfaced since. Both the capability and the compassion of the staff are apparent from the first visit. I imagine that if you call and make an appointment to meet with Kim, you'll leave feeling similarly.”

“This daycare is easily the best decision my husband and I made. Pam put us at ease from the very first day our son attended. We were already so nervous about switching daycares as we just moved to the area and we knew the transition would be tough for our son who had made so many friends in his previous school. I was nearly in tears the first day we dropped him off. Pam stayed with him to get him adjusted to the classroom and even checked in with me to let me know how he was doing. I love that at kiddie academy, our child isn’t just one of the many kids who attend this daycare. Many of the staff members know my son by first name and greet him whenever they see him. You can tell how much they care for each and every child in this school. I read countless reviews when deciding on a daycare for my child. I had literally lost sleep researching all the daycares in the area and reading reviews from other parents. I knew after we toured kiddie academy Hamilton that this is where our son would excel. He’s been attending for a few short months but WOW, we have seen such a huge change in him! He speaks more at home, has picked up so many new words and phrases and our once VERY picky eater (who would only eat goldfish and teddy grahams) was eating nutritious meals provided daily by the school and using utensils! Thank you kiddie academy Hamilton for giving our boy so much love and attention. We have nothing but praise for this school and the wonderful staff ?”

“I have worked here for a year and my children have been with me..As a parent I am truly grateful for all the love, fun and learning my children have had here.My son started 2.5 years and and at this time he wasn’t say any word, his Dps teacher Ms Brandyhelped him alot to improve his speech skills and now he talks very well.My daughter started 10 months old and the infant class is the best, she gave her all the love and care and they made the process of getting used to school much easier for her.She was always happy and feeling safe here specially when she moved up to Jr.tods class she loved there.As an employee I have all the love and appreciation for the director and her assistance, They were always helpful, flexible, understanding, and willing to help if I needed them. I was very happy working with them, and if I ever wanted to return to my previous job, this would be the first place I would think of.”

“This is the second daycare school my son has attended, we were very disappointed with the first, but he will be with Goddard until he attends public school. Every single teacher, director, and the owner Bryan, make a point to know EVERY single child who attends. My son LOVES going to school every day. He loves his teachers! He has grown and learned so much in the past year it's incredible, and so much more than I ever expected. I trust every member of the faculty explicitly and am so happy that we found this school! Thank you all for being so amazing!”

“There aren’t enough good things to say about this school and staff. I remember first stepping foot and seeing how clean and professional it looked. Bonnie the director was so warm and personable and down to earth. She sat me down and talked to me and didn’t rush ANYTHING, you can tell she’s very organized and on top of her game and takes care of anything immediately. Then she took me on the tour and I fell in love with Ms. Katie and knew this was the place for my little girl. Some of the teachers have been there for years and it speaks volumes because they know what they are doing and love their job. Ms Katie exceeded every single expectation we had and more! I felt so safe and comfortable leaving my daughter there. She’s now with Ms Joan and co teacher Ms. Anu who are also just as amazing and I really couldn’t ask for better. She takes her job so seriously and not even being with her a month my 3 year old can count to 15 in Spanish. So much structure and routine in these rooms and that’s what little kids need the most. My other daughter is in the infant room with Ms Tara and Ms bhampti they are so loving and nurturing and keeps a very clean room - it’s a hard job but the kids are all so happy and love her so much. I look forward to picking up because Bonnie and the assistant director Jordan are so involved and know your children like they’re the only ones attending. Everyone is playful and happy and professional and really feels like a second family. I would recommend this center to anyone who is looking.. my two girls are thriving every day and I do not have one bad thing to say about the place or anyone in it !”

“My daughter's and I had the most wonderful experience attending Kids Corner. We still drop in when in the area to say hi. I recommend kids corner to everyone in need of child care.”

“I couldn't be happier with my daughter attending TLE Hamilton. We had her in another TLE and the comparison is night and day. I receive prompt responses to any questions or concerns I express, my daughter loves her teachers and she is always engaged in activities. I can't wait to see how much she will learn in the upcoming years here :)”

“My kids have attended this school for several years. Teachers are amazing and very attentive. I feel very comfortable with my children here. They focus on religion and education correctly and my children have excelled here. Very good school.”

“I’m so happy that I chose this school for my toddlers. It is a safe, mentally stimulating environment that offers daily opportunities for positive early childhood development.”

“My 10 month old and 2 year old have been attending since they’re infants. I’ve always felt comfortable leaving them in the care of the staff. I can tell the staff really care about the kids. Highly recommend!”
