“We feel truly fortunate to have our son enrolled at Inclusive Montessori. The dedication and care shown by the entire teaching staff have been exceptional. Special thanks to Miss Dipika and Miss Kala, who have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure our son feels supported and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better environment for his early development.”

“The best place for my daughter! She absolutely loves ALLL the teachers! A good feeling as a parent is when you feel and know they are treating your child like their own, and all of the teachers are amazing and treat them like their own!! Facility is nice and clean! Super spacious! Lots of activities! And they include the littles in almost everything they can do! They have the best parties ( carnival theme, luau ) we love it!!”

“Our child has been going to this daycare since the past 2 years. We have seen him grow so much as a person with strong vocabulary and interpersonal skills. They have a variety of activities for kids throughout the day to keep them engaged and learn. Our child even made amazing friends at TLE! However, he's had couple of rough incidents with another kid, who injured him. The staff responded to us in a kind manner and till this day make sure that our child is not in the same room as the other rough kid. The staff is very attentive and responsive to your concerns. We like TLE Lawrenceville!”

“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”

“We love PNS! The teachers are caring, the environment is safe and nurturing, and my kids has learned and grown so much. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a great preschool experience!”

“My daughter started at Goddard three months ago. This is her first school, and we’ve had a truly wonderful experience so far. Everyone at the school is so welcoming, and they take the time each morning to greet the children. My daughter is very attached to me, but Ms. Liz has done a fantastic job helping her transition into school and making her feel welcome and included. Although it still takes a little time each morning for her to join her classmates, both my family and I believe she will continue to grow and thrive at Goddard West Windsor.”

“Our son spent three amazing years at Bright Horizons in Princeton, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sapid, miss qua, miss Carlin and his best friend Toni were exceptional so caring, patient, and truly dedicated. Diane, the director, created a warm and welcoming environment where we always felt supported.

Our son grew so much in confidence, joy, and curiosity thanks to their care. We’re incredibly grateful and will always look back on this time with love. Highly recommended!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Goddard School in Skillman! From the moment our son started attending, we’ve seen tremendous growth in his confidence, social skills, and love for learning. The teachers and staff are nurturing, professional, and truly dedicated to each child’s development.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, blending play-based learning with strong academic foundations. Every day, our son comes home excited to share what he’s learned — from science experiments to storytime adventures. The communication from the school is also outstanding, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way.

We’re so grateful for the warm, safe, and enriching environment Goddard Skillman provides. It has been the perfect first step in our son’s educational journey!”

“Goddard school teachers are amazing! two daughters graduated from here. The younger one had language challenges but the teacher guided and cared her with tremendous of patience.”

“Nothing but wonderful things to say about Goddard. They are so responsive and attentive to every child and parents needs. The curriculum is well rounded and the children are ultimately prepared for Kindergarten. The teachers go above and beyond to make children feel safe and comfortable. My daughter is very anxious and has a hard time leaving mom; now she doesn’t want to ever leave school!!! Great job to Kim and the rest of admin. Juliana, Victoria and Caity are wonderful teachers that we will miss once in elementary school. Thank you always ❤️”

“My son has been going here since he was 1 and I have to say it’s been an amazing experience. The teacher are hands on and very communicative. The school is very welcoming and i will definitely miss the administrators when my son takes the next steps into kindergarten.”

“Our kids have been going to Village Learning Center for almost three years. They have been great working with us to accomodate our childrens needs. The teachers go above and beyond for their students. Pickup and drop off is fast and easy. Plus the kids love to visit the centers resident rabbit, Pepper.”

“Both of my sons have gone to Kindercare — one is still in the school and the other has moved on to Kindergarten. My belief is that there are amazing teachers there who have done so much for both of our boys. Our son LOVES Ms. Brandy and sometimes doesn’t even seem to want to leave her. The team is responsive to emails and concerns. I know my kids are safe when they are there and there’s so much to do. Especially for the price it is a great experiences for my kids.”

“I did my research and checked out quite a few daycares before settling on this location that was recommended to me by other moms.

I have sent my children to this center for roughly three years and I can’t say enough good things about Kindercare. Vicki is an absolutely phenomenal director of the daycare and from day one made me feel at ease about sending my kids there. I had a lot of questions and was overall very anxious as a new mom and she made sure to give me frequent updates and put all my worries at ease about dropping off my little one there. Vicki always responds to all emails in a very timely manner and is always available for any questions/concerns which I really appreciated. Again, I can’t say enough good things about Vicki, all the teachers and the center overall!

Overall, all the teachers are amazing at the center as well and lead teachers have been the same the entirety of my time there. The teachers really go out of their way to make the kids have a good day and make all the kids feel special and loved. I always felt safe and comfortable knowing the kids were in good hands. Any problems/concerns/issues that ever arose were quickly addressed and honestly I can’t say how good my experience has been at this center.

You can tell if adults care about working with children and I can say from my experience Vicki and the teachers genuinely care about the kids and their wellbeing as well as growth. Vicki was also so supportive and accommodating on any changes/requests I had regarding moving schedules that helped us out immensely. They also do annual reviews for the kids to let you know how far they are coming a long in their skills and to make sure kids are ready for kindergarten.

Kids spend so much time at daycare in this day and age due to working parents and we all need to make sure our kids are safe, well looked after and are actually learning at daycare. The center has a lot of activities through out the school year and especially during the summer as well. and they had chicks they hatched this past summer which the kids loved! Graduation was very emotional for the kids as well as the teachers as they all genuinely were so proud and happy for the kiddos for how far they all came along.

There is also an app that they upload frequent pictures of the kids and schedules/important information - I loved being able to see what my kids were doing during the day. Kids are also given breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack which was so nice so we didn’t have to worry about packing lunches/or if they were fed well. The menu comes out well ahead of time and meals are overall balanced and nutritious. The kids were also provided diapers/wipes/formula but I am unsure if that policy is still in place post Covid - so if you calculate the cost of good care, meals, formula, diapers/wipes - the center is absolutely worth it. Overall, if you are looking for a good daycare this is the place to go!”

“After exploring many preschools in the area, we could not be more pleased that we chose DNPCCNS for our children. They have blossomed in the nurturing and enriching classroom environments created by the teachers. Each day, they run into school with huge smiles on their faces. The teachers and staff truly go above and beyond to meet the social-emotional and academic needs of each student. All of the head teachers are experienced and state certified. There is also a strong sense of community among the families, and there are various student events throughout the year to help foster these relationships. We are so grateful for everything DNPCCNS has done for our family. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm and caring preschool that also prepares children for future success in elementary school.”

“This school is a rare gem. This was our 3 year olds first time in any school, and he THRIVED! The teachers are all so warm and welcoming, and very engaged with the students. It is a true community that you build being involved with Cherry Hill Nursery School. The staff is amazing, and most teachers and staff were at one point parents of students, so they are very invested in the wellbeing of the children here. We intentionally skipped out on the public preK this year so he could finish out with Cherry Hill. Truly could not recommend this school more for littles starting out in PreK!”

“We have been a part of the A Child's World Family for 13 years. I can not put into words how much the staff has meant to our children and our family. Our children have felt so loved and safe with the amazing staff. We are forever grateful for how much knowledge and skills they have given our children!”

“The value is definitely here, staff engaging, my little comes home every week showing some new skill knowledge or verbal enhancement. Id give the facility 5 stars but like most daycares my kid comes home sick more then i would like, but with a shift of perspective my daughters immune system is being strengthened for her life ahead.
Thank you god for taking care of my daughter, niece, and Nephews.
This place gave taken great care of the next generation of my family.”

“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 loves going to school and we cannot say enough about how caring and loving the teachers are. We started at 6 months in the Young Infant classroom. Ms. Christina, Ms. Sandra, Ms. Nadine and other exceptional caregivers have provided our baby with care and spent countless fun-filled moments with him. Our son transitioned to the next-level room from the infant room this week and Ms. Christina came in ON HER DAY OFF to make sure him and another child transitioned seamlessly. For now he is still upset about the change and misses his previous teachers every morning, but the new teachers make sure there is enough play and hugs to ease him in. I saw one of the teachers easing James to sleep for long, long, minutes during nap time the other day (I think it was Ms. Spencer). It really feels like my baby is safe, happy, and learning new things at Lightbridge. I could not recommend them more.”

“A gem of a little preschool nestled in Rocky Hill’s historic schoolhouse building. We felt really lucky that we were able to secure a place for our daughter here we when she was three. Nurturing teachers who fill the childrens’ days with creative activities and lots of fun play, our daughter absolutely loved her time here and, being a coop, it felt really special to be able to directly witness this part of her life/development on days helping out in the classroom.”

“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 ?”

“We’re extremely happy with the switch we made to Discovery Daycare. Simply put they do not make people like Jacqueline anymore. Her team here at Discovery is amazing. They are so caring, considerate and genuinely love my kids as their own. They constantly go above and beyond to make us parents feel included. My kids have flourished here and we couldn’t recommend it enough!”

“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.”

“My three children have had wonderful experiences at Rainbow Academy! They are well cared for, happy, and academically ready to start Kindergarten in the fall. The staff is creative and kind and they have even begun food exploration for the letter of the week which has been a great way to try new things! We will certainly miss them when we graduate and recommend them for a wonderful preschool/daycare experience!”

“My daughters started attending this school about 6 months ago and I informed Ms Tamise my youngest has separation anxiety in which it may take her time to adjust to a new class. To my surprise, my 2 year old was excited to come to school and see Ms Tamise because she genuinely cares and is the face that everyone loves to see entering Hopewell TLE. My baby grew more than a bond with her teacher; she’s excelling and learning so much because she feels comfortable and excited to see what Ms Tamise has in store for them. The best part is seeing Ms Tamise wear the cute outfits and costumes for the kids. They love it.
My 3 year old is in Ms Kumba’s class and she cannot stop talking about her teacher and all the fun things they do. She has increased her vocabulary tremendously and keeps me informed of her progress daily. Ms Kumba
ensures that the kids are learning past what the curriculum provides. Majority of the teachers have been there 5-18 years which shows their dedication to the profession.”

“We switched our 2 children from a previous daycare toKindercare Yardley in September and we have no regrets!! Every teacher is super nice and educated. The Director is also very friendly and quickly responds to emails. I absolutely love their program and the teachers are very good at sending pictures, videos and updates throughout the day to keep you informed on how your child’s day is going. My children have learned so much already in just 2 months and they both love going to school. My youngest had horrible separation anxiety as she was home with me for 6 months due to Covid and they worked with her everyday. She now will walk into the center by herself with no tears!! I also love that they offer a phonics class which I just signed my oldest up for. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with Kindercare Yardley!!”

“My son has only attended this facility for a short time, but I am already so impressed! This place and the staff REALLY care so much about the kids, and put in time to update with pictures and videos all day long. Each staff member I meet is always all smiles and so welcoming. Truly a blessing, my son finally loves getting up in the morning to attend a program.”
