We particularly appreciate receiving daily pictures and updates, allowing us to stay connected and informed about her day. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing environment for their little one!”

“I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional work of Ms. Pearl and all the teachers at All About Me in Cresskill NJ. Ms. Pearl's dedication and leadership have made a positive impact on the school community, ensuring a supportive and enriching environment for both students and staff.

“As an art teacher I have been working with students from Genesis for the past 2 years. It is a real pleasure to do different art projects, teach them various techniques and develop their creative minds.”

“We love this daycare so much! My 3 year old is always so happy to RUN through the doors everyday. My 7 month old just started here last month! The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing, compassionate, and caring people - that truly care about every individual child. The relatively large indoor gym is key for those rainy days or any afternoon when the kids just need to play and run around with their friends. They bring optional extracurricular activities into the center such as super soccer stars, karate, and dance (for an extra cost), which is awesome to have available! I also enjoy the daily updates and pictures on what my kids are up to! We couldn’t be happier sending our kids to this school!”

“One of the best decisions I have made for my daughter was to send her to All About Me. All staff members deserve 5+s as well for their professionalism. The smile on their faces every morning and the warm welcome when they greet your child is priceless. Facility is always clean and neat. They are always on top of it when it comes to filling you in on your Childs' daily activities and I love getting live updates on their app throughout the day and the pictures/videos. I can go on and on as to why I love All About Me but in short I will say that I highly recommend this daycare center.”

“I really recomend this school, Because there is a great support from many teachers and I have seen my kid having improved in sereveral subject, which means it has excellent education for students.”

“Our oldest daughter is now just wrapping up her time in pre k4 at Appletree Preschool and I have to say it's been such a positive experience for her. She's been attending since Jan 2022 and she's loved every minute of it. From the teaching curriculum to the different activities throughout the day its been a fun journey. All of the teachers and staff have been so kind and amazing and its been so great seeing her always coming home with a smile on her face because the day at Appletree was so enjoyable. While I'm sure it's not easy and it will be a big change, I think Appletree definitely prepares kids well for the next journey into Kindergarten. We're looking forward to having our youngest daughter enroll in Appletree in a couple of years.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 first brought our son to TLE at 3yo. We were advised by our previous daycare to follow up with early intervention with potential behavioral challenges. Well, he cleared Early Intervention with flying colors and turns out he just wasn’t being challenged enough cognitively, intellectually, and structurally. Within 2 weeks we saw our son adjust and improve his tantrums and he flourished having exceeded our expectations. The initial staff he entered with was a power house, very open to LGBT families and welcoming, daily we were greeted with happy faces. There was a period of time administration was experiencing a rough patch. I would agree it is difficult to find committed personnel in today’s world, but I did not see a lapse in my son’s care. The current administration is working hard at maintaining the same quality as the previous group. They are approachable and take care of your concerns immediately. It is nice to see TLE working hard to bring the bright vibes back to the daily experience. We have a little one on the way and will likely use them when he is ready for day care too. I’ve met some great parents too that will become forever friends for our kiddos!”

“I cannot speak highly enough about Palisades Preschool (“PPS”)! My 6 year old son graduated from PPS last year and it’s become even more evident now, after having him in public school this year, how incredibly exceptional PPS is!Palisades Preschool is a warm and nurturing environment; the teachers are creative and patient, and the curriculum is highly effective (we enrolled our son in Kumon at the beginning of kindergarten and he tested at a first grade level on day 1)!Staff turnover is non-existent, which means the staff loves PPS and each other as much as they love the students. This brought so much comfort to me, knowing I could rely on their long standing reputation as well as consistency from day to day.PPS has always been so accommodating - whenever I have a question or need something, they are responsive and go above and beyond to be helpful. We never feel like we’re just a number - quite the opposite actually…we feel like we’re part of the PPS family!I forgot to mention, that my son who is thriving socially, academically and emotionally, was not speaking when he started at PPS and even qualified for early intervention. He never ended up receiving early intervention therapy from the state due to COVID lockdown, but he went on to speak by the time he was 2.5 years old and thrive in all aspects of school - thanks to his incredible teachers in the toddler room (and all throughout his time there).I wholeheartedly believe that the solid foundation my son built at PPS set him up for a bright academic future! Naturally, we cannot wait for our youngest to start school next month in the toddler room!Look no further than Palisades Preschool - truly, nothing can compare! ❤️”

“The staff and teachers at TLE in River Vale are so warm and loving. My daughter is always happy to be there! It’s wonderful to have constant updates and pictures of your child having a great time via their app. They really go above and beyond to give a great experience to all of the kids and parents!”

“My son was enrolled in another local toddler school before this and had a very negative experience. He became scared to attend school and his personality started to change. After keeping him home for two months, we were nervous to send him to another school, but thank goodness we did! Since attending TLE Hackensack, I’ve not only seen my son’s personality come back, but I’ve seen him develop a deeper love for learning. He is excited to go to school and talks about his teachers often. There is no greater feeling as a parent than knowing your child is in a safe a nurturing environment!”

“Thurnauer is an excellent school for studying music. They offer courses in many different instruments to all levels. The school is located within the JCC, and everyone is welcome regardless of faith. I love the community of students, their families, faculty, and staff. I also love that students have many opportunities to perform. This is a great school for beginners, especially if you are considering a career in music. Thurnauer is also a great school for advanced musicians who want to take their technique to the next level. 5 stars!”

“This is a wonderful preschool staffed by incredible therapists and teachers. The atmosphere is full of joy which is so important for young children. Children look forward to coming to school! Highly recommended!”

“Our daughter first started here in 2022 and recently graduated in 2024.  As a first time mom I was very nervous to send my daughter to preschool for the first time.  I had visited other schools in the surrounding area but chose Les Enfants after meeting with Nancy.  Nancy is incredible at keeping the school organized, she always communicated with us and is quick to respond to an email or phone call.   Our daughter enjoyed each of her teachers over the years and loved the staff.  We appreciate how long the staff has each been with the school.  Their tenure is an example of the great environment.  Happy teachers = Happy kids!  :)

The Teachers and staff go out of their way to support the students and provide a wonderful experience.  The quality of the lessons and activities was very impressive.  We would share with our families and friends and get the response “we want to go to her school too!!” The way the teachers incorporated play and learning was fun, educational and exciting.  Our family was invited in throughout the years for student led shows and to see the different projects the kids had worked on.  I enjoyed the Tadpoles App that provided daily photos, videos and updates on what the class was learning.  This also helped prompt my daughter’s memory and she would become excited to explain what she did that day.   The classes celebrated kindness and respectfulness towards others and had wonderful values. The teachers and staff are top tier and amazing people we now consider family.  We see old student come back to visit during summer camp because they miss their old teachers and school.  My daughter never cried to go to school but I certainly cried when she graduated because the bar has been set VERY high.  I couldn’t recommend Les Enfants enough.  This is such a special place and our family is so grateful.”

“Being our first child, my wife and I were very anxious to send our new baby to daycare. We looked at all the centers in the area and could not be happier with our decision to join WCL Kindercare. From day one the director Renee has been warm and welcoming, professional, attentive, and quick to make sure our family’s needs are met. My child’s teachers are terrific. They took time to get to know our family and care for our son as if he’s their own. We get lots of updates and pictures throughout the day too. The director Renee has lots of fun family events that you can bring your other children to, all fun and all included in enrollment. Can’t recommend enough.”

“Wow, I had no idea that years later I will be back with another child! This daycare is the best that can happen to your kid! My older daughter went there, she still remembers those days and for some reason food! Now My son is there, and I can’t be happier! Thank you Elina and all staff for your care!”

“My daughter began at TMH when she was 7 months old and she is now 18 months old. We have been so happy with our experience so far. All of the staff has been warm and nurturing. Our daughter loves attending school, and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day. We can tell that she is well cared for. We also love that TMH is a family run business that has been around for 40 years! We highly recommend TMH.”

“THE BEST!Erika and the teachers do an amazing job at making you feel like you’re home. My daughter has been there for a little over a year now and it has been such an incredible experience. We heard about LTNS through friends in town who also raved about it. Everyone is warm and welcoming, the classrooms and halls are bright, and the app is always updated! I love receiving pictures and notifications all day long about what is going on. I feel like my daughter has learned so much in such a short amount of time. I know that Miss. Erika and all of her teachers love my baby as much as I do. Knowing your child is safe, cared for, and happy is all that matters. We are so grateful to have them!”

“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!”

“I really appreciate all of the teachers and all of their hard work and dedication. My daughter has made so much improvement from day 1 and I am extremely impressed. I also really appreciate Marisa and Crystal, the directors, for making this process seamless. They keep us up to date and answer any and all questions. They continue to make me feel very happy with my decision to put my daughter in Light Bridge Academy.”

“The entire staff is warm and amazing! Ms. Denise the director is an angel. My son has learned so much since he has been there and will be completely prepared for kindergarten. Truly an excellent school!”

“We toured several schools in Paramus before settling on Goddard. We passed up two very popular franchises that were closer to our home and chose Goddard for the following reasons:1) Great curriculum. We compared the work of the older students compared to the other schools. Most advanced/engaging curriculum by far2) Low turnover. Ask how long the teachers have been there or how long the admin have. The three main admin have been there since the beginning (over 5 years ago) and I have yet to see one teacher quit since we started our child here. Other schools we saw turnover within months (we toured multiple times)3) Have an indoor gym. Great for rainy/cold days!4) They don't send out unnecessary newsletters/constantly ask the parents for more money or help for events. If parents are interested you can reach out but they won't be contributing to any "mom guilt" if you don't have time to spend on x or y event.”

“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!”

“To have to hear such a story. It’s understandable when it comes to our kids we become very protected. This is because she didn’t answer a question. My child had Ms Alicia as a teacher. My son was always happy and excited to be in her class. She was always welcoming, fun and very nurturing. We had a great experience with her.”
