Schools near Mercerville, NJ

“Our daughter started here back in February at 7 months old. We have nothing but amazing things to say about the school, teachers and the administration. Ms. Grace, Ms. Victoria, Ms. Amanda, Ms. Arlett and Ms. Tiffany have provided such care to her in the infant room. We love getting our daily pictures and videos of the activities and lessons she receives during the day. Even at such a young age, they work on her fine motor skills and have a set curriculum. Highly recommend the Goddard School of Bordentown - being full-time parents with an infant needing to be in daycare full-time puts our minds at ease. Thank you to Ms. Denise, Ms. Jessika and the entire staff!”

“Look no further for your preschool and daycare needs !! My daughter has been going here since she is 2 and I can vouch for this place . Loving and caring staff (shout out to the center director -Sapna ) who goes above and beyond in their day to day duties every SINGLE day!! Their kindergarten program is best in class as I see a leap in my daughter’s academic growth in less than 6 months of starting kindergarten .. at the end Happy kid means Happy parents !!”

“My son had his first birthday party here , everything was already prepare for us and very well put together. Thank you so much Megha the decorations were beautiful , staff was amazing and my guests had a great time . I would recommend this for anyone who is looking for a place to have a party for toddlers .”

“This school is amazing! Staff are very friendly and take a very good care of kids. My twin girls enjoy their time at school and They love all their teachers. I would like to thank each and everyone who has given such a wonderful learning place to kids. Ms Kala really does exceptionally great work. My kids learned so many things within no time. Special thanks to Mrs. Haroon.”

“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.”

“Ms. Autumn is a joy to see every day! She is so warm and always has a smile on her face. The kids love her and it's so nice to feel like you're leaving your kid with one of your trusted friends. You can tell she really cares. We love Ms. Autumn!”

“TLE of Lawrenceville by Costco has been amazing with our children (we’ve had kids move through every age bracket). Teachers and admin are loving, attentive, supportive and energetic. Summer programs are robust and the kids love it here!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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”

“Over the rainbow has been nothing short of amazing! From the staff to the owner who is always available and making sure everyone is well taken care of. You’re not just another child in their facility but you’re treated like family. We are always greeted when walking through the doors and hallways. Everyone is pleasant, and not a day goes by my child doesn’t come home with something new to say! I can go on, and on, but to say the least I am beyond grateful for such an awesome team behind my child!”

“If you're on the journey of exploring daycare options for your child(ren), your arduous search can end here. I can't say enough about the quality of the staff and overall environment at this location.Having gone through some disappointing and upsetting experiences at other daycare centers, transitioning to this Goddard School location was like clouds parting. Our girls (1 and 3 when they started, now 2 and 4) love their teachers, their classmates, the school directors, and the rockstar owner, Kim. The development they've gone through from educational, social, and emotional standpoints has been remarkable, and noticeably more positive than previous experiences.The staff is not only amazing with the children, but also with the parents. They are a well-oiled machine, always present and welcoming, on top of communication about matters both big and small, and operate with an extremely appreciated empathy for the parental experience, making our daily routine as easy as possible.Their prices are competitive when stacked up against other centers, and what they deliver is above and beyond.In a nutshell - placing a child into daycare is always a difficult experience emotionally, logistically, and financially. For us, the anxiety and stress that we felt when searching for quality care has entirely disappeared since we joined this Goddard School location, and has not resurfaced since. Both the capability and the compassion of the staff are apparent from the first visit. I imagine that if you call and make an appointment to meet with Kim, you'll leave feeling similarly.”

“We’ve been very happy with our journey at the Goddard in Ewing. The team has been very responsive to our family’s needs and has come up with smart solutions whenever issues arise. The hours provide us a lot of flexibility and make the cost worthwhile. Our child has adored most, if not all, of her teachers. She cheers when we drive into the parking lot every day. Sometimes I’ve considered moving her to somewhere cheaper or closer but I’ve always decided that I just can’t beat the benefits we get from her attending this daycare.”

“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 ?”

“A supportive, nurturing, and trustworthy environment for both our sons. Our current second grader is thriving and is such a good friend. Our youngest is so excited for each school day. Wholeheartedly recommend!”

“My son is in the infant room and I love seeing all the pictures of him through out the day and how big he smiles when he sees Miss. Kay, Miss. Cheralin and Miss Sameera! I’ve been able to see how much he has progressed since starting at TLE. I highly recommend this center!”

“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.”

“I have worked here for a year and my children have been with me..As a parent I am truly grateful for all the love, fun and learning my children have had here.My son started 2.5 years and and at this time he wasn’t say any word, his Dps teacher Ms Brandyhelped him alot to improve his speech skills and now he talks very well.My daughter started 10 months old and the infant class is the best, she gave her all the love and care and they made the process of getting used to school much easier for her.She was always happy and feeling safe here specially when she moved up to Jr.tods class she loved there.As an employee I have all the love and appreciation for the director and her assistance, They were always helpful, flexible, understanding, and willing to help if I needed them. I was very happy working with them, and if I ever wanted to return to my previous job, this would be the first place I would think of.”

“i went here for summer camp when i was in preschool, at least 12 years ago now. i have such fond memories from here!! i remember reading, playing outside, as well as very kind, genuine, and caring staff— even by name. SUCH a kind and nurturing environment. i’m sure they’re still doing an amazing job !”

“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 husband and I visited Lightbridge Academy for a tour. Gianya was amazing and immediately made us feel welcome. Gianya gave a very informative tour leaving no questions unanswered. The program is wonderful and the facility is clean and child friendly. We would feel very comfortable sending our child here.”

“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 !”

“I cannot say enough good things about Jacqueline and Discovery Daycare. I was extremely nervous starting my son in daycare right before his second birthday, but I am so glad that I did. The difference I immediately noticed in his development was wonderful. He went from only saying a few words to speaking full sentences, signing for things and singing. You can tell that she and all of the staff truly care about the children there. My son loves going to school everyday and I am so incredibly grateful for how much he's grown and how dedicated everyone is to ensuring these kids are set up for their future.”

“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!”

“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.”
