Carousel has been a Godsend for our family! My son is now in K and is well equipped from their preschool curriculum and nurturing teachers. My daughter is currently in the three year old class and LOVES every day. The warm, loving staff help to learn and interact with her little friends. Miss Tiff runs a fabulous daycare and takes interest in each of her Carousel friends. She and Miss Renee even came to cheer on my son at his tball game! I'd highly recommend Carousel!

LOVE Carousel Of Learning!When we first moved to the area, I was so worried about finding a daycare for my daughter. A good friend of mind recommended me to Carousel. I'm so glad she did.My daughter was 3 months when she joined Carousel. I was updated daily on her progress and pictures which every parent loves to see! The teachers there are just great & Miss Tiffany is amazing!! I was always calling in the first few days as I was a new mom and checking in ! I was always greeted with a sweet voice on the phone and was told to call whenever I wanted a update!! I quickly just felt at ease, I knew she was in great hands!My daughter learns new things every day! She is now almost 2 and still loves it there like the first day I brought her!We are expecting our second child and I know they will have the same experience at Carousel. So thankful I found a place that loves my daughter like I do! I know she is in good hands and is being taken care of! Highly recommended!!

All three of my kids attended Carousel Academy. My oldest is now 18 and youngest 5. It is a family atmosphere and develops a strong foundation for the future. My kids loved going to school there each day. I feel that my kids were prepared with a wonderful education and provided a loving environment. I highly recommend sending your children here. I cannot say enough good things about our experience.

We love Carousel of Learning! We have been apart of the Carousel family for the past 7 years. It was the best switch we made when our oldest daughter was 3, seven years ago. She cried every day going into her old daycare and we knew it was a great fit for her and us when the tears disappeared and she was excited to go to school everyday. Carousel's staff is warm, friendly, positive and takes care of the kids like they were their own. There is no doubt in my mind that when we drop them off they are in good hands. My girls are in 5th and 2nd grade and were very prepared to enter elementary school socially and academically ready. My youngest still attends Carousel. We have had and continue to have open and honest conversations about their social and academic (fine motor) growth. Carousel puts the children first and does what is best for them to meet all of their needs. We highly recommend Carousel of Learning!Donna Albertson

I can’t even put into words how much I love Carousel. My 5 year old daughter attended and was more than equipped to enter kindergarten. She was so comfortable and looked forward to every day. My 1 year old is currently enrolled and I continue to have nothing but amazing experiences. Going back to work and school was hard enough, but knowing my kids are in the best hands makes all the difference. Highly recommend!!

My 2.5 year old son has been attending Carousel Academy since he was 8 weeks old and I am so proud of the development he has made while in the care of the staff. Carousel is a nurturing and educational environment with a kind and loving staff. I have complete peace of mind when he is there which exceeds all of my hopes for what a daycare could be.

Carousel of Learning: Berlin NJ has become a second home for our daughter over the past five years. After a thorough search of local daycare facilities, my wife and I decided on Carousel for several reasons. As my daughter was just a few months old at the time, the warm and welcoming environment was key. We were kept in communication throughout the school day with any concern, big or small, and the staff was excited to see her each day. As she grew older, and progressed into older classrooms, she was challenged with a curricula that let her grow academically as well as socially. Daily reports were sent home highlighting what was learned, what behaviors were observed and how they were attended to, and reminders about upcoming days. Carousel has a variety of Spirit Days and special events (such as Grandparents Night, Back 2 School Night, Halloween Parades, etc.) that connect them well to the community as a whole. As a result, my daughter was able to begin sight- reading and mathematics much earlier than we had expected, plus a variety sciences and history. Further, Carousel uses outside resources such as "Kick n' Flips" gymnastics to teach physical control, balance and build self-esteem. Each teacher, and their supporting aides, ensured that she was welcomed each morning with a smile and a hug, and my daughter learned that school can be fun. She never wanted to leave at the end of each day, and ran to the front door each morning in excitement. When she transitioned to the Ponies & Stallions classes upstairs, many classmates moved with her, which is important to sustaining growth. Her friends have become family as well, and they see one another outside of school at sports, activities, etc. The staff continues to challenge the students to think in big picture concepts, and use the outdoors and field trips to explore the larger world. Music and Art are used as teaching tools, to make every moment a moment of exploration and learning. We enjoy hearing about her time spent baking special treats, creating instruments and putting on plays, as well as playing with students both older and younger. I look forward to her joining Berlin Community School for Kindergarten, however, it will be very bittersweet. Our years spent with Tiffany, Renee', Tammy, Holly and the entire staff has been nothing short of incredible, and I would highly recommend Carousel of Learning: Berlin NJ to every parent or guardian in the area. They truly go above and beyond for our daughter on a daily basis, and we cannot be more thankful.

If you are looking for a school that provides the best education in a warm and nurturing environment, Carousel of Learning Preschool is not the school. I sent my 4 year old son to this preschool for about three weeks, and within those weeks the Assistant Director, Ms.Tiffany "diagnosed" my son with Functioning Autism after only knowing him for a few days. I am writing this review with a heavy and sad heart because they never gave my son a real chance to 'develop and grow' as their website boasts. But every afternoon I had to endure Ms. Tiffany and Ms. Renee, insensitive and consistent complaining about how my son was not ADVANCING and that he acted more like 2 year old rather than a 4 year old. Moreover, they explained that my son should be checked for Autism. As any mother can relate, my heart sank as this was my child's first experience in school and everything was new for him.I felt he was repeatedly being singled out. So I immediately started to call the necessary doctors to set up appointments to have him evaluated, and while awaiting the results Ms.Tiffany gave me all of my son’s paperwork and said she won't be needing these anymore.That's when I realize my son had been kicked out of the school.,This school has disappointed our family so much. What really broke my heart was that everyday my son would ask why he couldn’t go to school,it was hard telling him he couldn't go there anymore. No one in that school is a Physician or an Expert to diagnose any child,and then have the audacity to literally put my son out for not adapting to their system. This shows prejudice and a lack of professionalism on both Ms Renee and especially Ms.Tiffany. They are clearly inadequate on how to properly nurture and foster a child's development. This school is a letdown and I will never encourage anyone to let their child go there.
