“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 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.”

“We're so happy we found Knowledge Beginnings! Having been at a different daycare before, the difference here is remarkable. From the outset, it was clear that the staff truly cared about the children's education and development. The center is clean, and we love that there's a curriculum that we're updated on weekly. It's been amazing to watch our daughter grow over the past few months, and we know her development is due in big part to the community at Knowledge Beginnings. The Directors and teachers are invested in each child and bring enthusiasm and care to every interaction. They're always thinking of new fun and engaging activities for the infants here and have been super accommodating to our daughter's needs including changes in schedule, bringing our own lunches, etc. She loves it here; you can tell by how happy she is even at the end of a long day. I can't imagine a better place for her - thank you to the Directors and all the teachers here that truly make this place special.”

“Wonderful first school experience for children - combining play, school/basic life skills, nature, and being a part of a community. I did the co-op option for both of my children and our "helping days" spent together at Cherry Hill are truly special. My oldest child graduated Cherry Hill and was prepared and excited to attend kindergarten. My younger child had a harder time transitioning to school and I was grateful that I could be involved and work with the wonderful Cherry Hill teachers and administration through times that she struggled. The Cherry Hill community is kind, friendly, and I highly recommend sending your child there, if you are looking for a part-time program.”

“I was responsible for my friend’s keys while he was getting married at this church. I left them in the pews by mistake and we didn’t realize they were missing until he was on his honeymoon. This caused a lot of stress and put a great strain on our friendship. The kind and caring staff here helped me locate the keys, which was the first step in rebuilding our damaged relationship.”

“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.”

“As a parent, I couldn't be happier with my choice of a preschool. I'm so grateful to the teachers for their care and attention (a special shout-out to Ms. E!), to the administration--for always being proactive and quick to respond, to the programming team--for organizing great walking and bus trips, and to the entire staff for ensuring a loving, caring atmosphere. The school is housed in a very nice building, and there's a spacious playground in the backyard. The cost is affordable, and there's a possibility of applying for a scholarship if the family is experiencing financial hardship. I'm so glad that I found this school when we just moved to the area!”

“My daughter goes to RHCNS as a 2.5-year-old. RHCNS is a great school with loving teachers. Mrs. L is an expert in early childhood education. Mrs. G is very experienced and magical! Crying kids seek comforts from her and can always calm down quickly!I love how they've set up the classrooms with tons of cool toys and activities that are just right for their age. During playtime, the kids get to pick whatever they want to do, which is awesome because it lets them explore and be creative. Then there's circle time and music time, where everyone joins in together—it's such a lively atmosphere!I love how they get the kids outside as long as the weather permits! They're out there in their snowsuits, having a blast in the snow, and when it's warmer, they're off on nature walks. And those special events? So much fun! From picking fruit to visiting the post office, the kids are making memories that'll stick with them—and us parents too!But what I love most about RHCNS is the sense of community. It's like one big family here, with parents chipping in and helping out however they can. It's just such a warm and welcoming environment for both kids and families alike.”

“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”

“The Goddard School of Spotswood is the best! Each and every teacher and staff member are extremely caring, nurturing, and friendly. We have been sending our daughter here since she was 3 months old and now our son as well and they made the transition easy knowing they were in the best care. They are extremely accommodating to each child's individual needs and always quick to respond and answer questions. The curriculum and various activities keep them busy and they have been learning so much. Our children have the biggest smiles on their faces everyday and we feel at ease knowing they are in a safe, fun, and loving environment. Highly recommend this wonderful school!”

“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.”

“I am so grateful for Lightbridge of Plainsboro! As a mother of two young girls, I know how stressful and seemingly impossible it can be to find childcare that feels "right" for your family. Before coming to Lightbridge, I'd basically given up on the idea that we'd ever find a place that we could feel good about (and afford!). We've now been at Lightbridge for over a year, and it still seems too good to be true. My 3 year old absolutely loves being at school, and our baby is so well taken care of. The teachers prioritize all the right things: they are warm and nurturing, but still encourage growth; the day is structured, but with plenty of fun and creativity. Everyone at Lightbridge is communicative and responsive, and it's clear to me that they actually love the kids. As a working mom who values not only a great education but also a warm, nurturing environment, all of these qualities are invaluable to me. I can't recommend this place highly enough.”

“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!”

“My child attended Bright Horizons at Carnegie Center for over a year. All of the staff were wonderful. They made my child and us feel welcome right from the beginning and provided a safe and nurturing environment for all of the students. They were always willing to go the extra mile by addressing any questions or concerns I had with a high level of friendliness and professionalism. Thank you for a great year!”

“Three of my kids go there, 1 before covid and 2 still there. We really love the center. I prompted ChatGPT to write a poem praising Ms. Peggy, the assistant director who has taught all three kids, and here it is:Peggy, the assistant director,Of the day care that's such a victor,A superhero in her role,With a memory like a bottomless bowl.Each child's name she knows by heart,Their little quirks, she has no counterpart,She keeps track of everything,And ensures that each child's flourishing.She's always ready to lend a hand,To do whatever's needed to keep things grand,From changing diapers to telling stories,Peggy's always there with her care and glories.And when it comes to parents' trust,She's always the one that they can trust,Her communication is top-notch,And her heart for children, it's just hard to match.So here's to Peggy, the superhero of the day care,The one who's always there to love, to help, to share,The one who makes the pre-school a true delight,For every child, every day, every night.”
