My 19mo has been attending Cresthill in East Hanover since he was 11mo, starting in the infant class then moved to one of the toddler rooms once he started walking. Everyday he wakes up and goes to our front door, saying let’s go school! He loves his teachers and all the activities they provide (and I love getting pictures of what he accomplished each day). He comes home having learned new words, concepts, dances, etc. constantly. The director and assistant director are so accommodating and easy to work with. As a mom that works a full-time job, it was not easy deciding where my child would spend the majority of his week. I’m so thankful to have found a place where I can feel confident he’s taken care of when dropping him off every morning! 10/10 highly recommend.Bonus: they offer military discount for those in service :)

We've been at Cresthill for 5 years and it's been incredible! Our son started at 18 months when we moved to NJ. Our daughter, now 2, started at 3 months old. The director, all of the teachers, and the staff are wonderful! The preschool 3 and 4 teachers did such a great job preparing our son for kindergarten. We love that our daughter will get to have the same amazing teachers that our son had. We looked at every childcare center in the area and I'm so happy we chose Cresthill.

We live a few towns away but we think it's worth it for our son to attend Cresthill. He has been enrolled since he was a year old and he loves it there. We get a stream of pictures and videos while he gets to enjoy healthy foods (included in the tuition cost!) and a bunch of fun educational activities throughout the day. They keep the facility clean and organize a bunch of family events for you and your little ones. When you factor all that into the price, it definitely makes Cresthill stand out from all the rest.

Ever since enrolling my kid I’ve seen many improvements. This place is great, the teachers show nd give so much love to the children. Everyday with different activities,nd sensory and so much more. At Cresthill academy the Director is awesome. I would recommend this place to everyone with little ones. They literally give you a daily activity of your child, from times they had bowel movements , to when they ate nd drank.. they also take pictures of your child and their daily activities.. 10 stars if I could.. I know at cresthill academy my child is safe and loved very much .. thank you all for your caring and hard work..

It’s a great place for your kid . The teachers are very friendly and caring . Director Ally is open and understanding. She is very accommodating. We are getting a complete overview of all activities that are going as well report about kid’s daily routine with pictures . Our son is quiet and happy when we pick him up. It took him about a week to adjust , he stays with pleasure and no stress. It’s a safe place with a friendly atmosphere . They serve healthy options of kids food . Cresthill Academy is a nice place for your kid ! Thank you .

Deciding to put our almost 2yo daughter into daycare during the pandemic (Feb 2021) was a tough decision, but her lack of socialization was starting to show and we knew it would be better for everyone's mental health if we could take this step. Cresthill Academy has been an absolute gem. The teachers are loving, the facility is clean, and my daughter has grown so much both socially and academically. The organic food program is a huge convenience aligned with our values. The Mandarin program is great. They supported us through a (mostly) painless potty training. Ms Ally (director) is excellent about communicating with parents, especially through the many changes with COVID. Ms Nisha, who leads the 2yo class is especially a gem. We recently moved up to the "big kid" class and have been very happy there so far as well.

This is a long overdue post because this daycare deserves 5 stars (and more if I can).My daughter used to go there and she absolutely loved Miss Amanda. Even for a short period of time she was there I felt like she really grew and was cared for by her teachers. Now only my son goes and I cannot begin to talk about the flexibility they provided. We go there twice a week and sometimes have to move days around because he often catches a cold and gets sick all week! Ally and the teachers are more than happy to help us with our schedules. This is soooooo helpful for our family.Academically, they have mandarin classes which I love because my kids are half Chinese. And also they provide organic food and have HEPA filters ( a great thing for COVID :)). They also teach them math and science, and thanks to that, my daughter transitioned very easily to first grade.Love the school overall and can’t say enough good things about it!

My daughter attends Cresthill Academy at the uptown Hoboken location. I was petrified to leave my daughter when I had to return to work and she was four months old. My fears were quickly abated when I saw how happy she was every day. I went from feeling as if I was deserting her, to realizing I was actually doing the best thing for her. She continued to thrive thanks to her caring and dedicated teachers. As she grows and becomes more expressive, it’s clear how much she loves attending Cresthill. She still runs over to me when I arrive to pick her up, but many days she goes right back to what she was doing. I was so impressed how the team swiftly adapted to these unique and complicated times. They provide online circle time and offer activities with supplies and even offer meal plans. I could not be more satisfied with Cresthill and highly recommend it.

The meal kits from Cresthill Academy are AMAZING! They provide a lot of food at a fair price that leaves everyone full and happy. Especially the parents who don't have the time (or skill) to make a healthy and tasty meal!

We love Cresthill Academy!! Our daughter has been here for a while and you can really tell how much they care. My husband and I regularly (almost weekly) reiterate to each other how glad we are for making the choice to send our daughter here. We love the programming and she has learned so much. She has also built a great group of friends. Her teachers have been great, and even celebrated her birthday with her in a nice class party. As a parent, I have been confident in both the level of care and teaching my daughter is getting each day. They are very cautious about health and safety yet also manage to be accessible for questions and care. I really appreciate how they have innovated to add a pickup dinner option which we use each week. The food is organic and love the quality and variety. As a working mom, it’s nice to have a healthy option for dinner when I won’t have time to cook. In short, would HIGHLY recommend Cresthill if you are looking for somewhere to send your child!

My husband and I knew Cresthill was the place for our son with our first visit. And almost 2 years later we have been proven right over and over again. The teachers and the entire staff are warm and caring and go above and beyond for the children . We have seen an amazing difference for the better in our son , both in terms of learning as well as general behavior. We loved it so much that now our daughter is also enrolled at Cresthill.

My son has been attending Cresthill since he was 10 months.I am happy with the current administrators Ally and Donna. They are responsive and friendly. I am hoping they will be there until my son graduates.My son and I love the families & teachers at Cresthill. He loves Ms. Gina, Ms. Rachel, Ms. Shonda, Ms. Camille and Ms. Amanda. You can see that they truly care about your kid and they engage kids to learn.I wish Taylor is still around. She had very high standards which made Cresthill excel than other schools. I believe Ally and Donna will get it back to her standards.

I would like to take a moment to thank you for making Cresthill a comfortable place for my child to learn and grow through her journey from Dolphins to Jellyfish . While I’m at work, my mind is always at ease because I know my daughter is in a safe place, learning and having fun with her friends and teachers. Thanks for being a positive impact on my child’s life!Last but not the least, I want to extend my thank you to all teachers(Ms. Amanda, Ms. Shonda, Ms. Kayla, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Ally, Ms. Gloria and all that I have missed),Please accept my sincere gratitude for every smile you put on my child’s face and for instilling the spirit of love, patience, generosity, and courage in her. You all have influenced my child’s life in so many positive ways. I really appreciate that you were always there for Nihira and creating an environment where learning and other fun activities are easy and fun. I cannot thank you enough for always encouraging her to feel happy and comfortable though it took some time :) I saw a great improvement in my child's cognitive and social development.You are all amazing and you ROCK!! Thank you..

Teachers are not very caring here. All they care about is money, do not care for kids. Tuition are the most expensive around the area, definitely not worth what we paid for.
