Schools near Mountain Lakes, NJ

“Both of my daughters have been going to Lightbridge Academy in Mountain Lakes over the past few years and I can't say enough wonderful things about the teachers and the facility. All of the teachers have been incredible and caring with both of my girls and I appreciate all they do so much. I know it isn't easy being with young children all day, but you would never be able to tell by the professionalism and love that I have experienced at each drop off a pick up every day. By the age of 1, my daughter knew her ABC's, colors, shapes and more. It is a great place to send your children. I know they are in great hands there each day.”

“My son has been going to this school since he was 4. He loved it! He still talks about Miss Nancy and we’re all feeling a little bitter sweet leaving for KINDY. Cindy, Cathy and Jen are wonderful too and know all the kids by name and are friendly and easy to chat with.”

“Love this daycare and so does our daughter! We switched over from another daycare 2 months ago and have been happy with the variety of activities the kids are exposed to, the number of picture updates we get throughout each day, and the reliability as well as friendliness of the staff. I was initially a little hesitant about the use of screen time, but it’s not for long and the content is good (you can check out the content on the TLE app), and their day is rich with other educational activities. I love the little themes each day like learning bag day on Fridays where kids bring items from home for show n tell, or kids are asked to wear something and you get a cute picture of them all matching. The kids all seem well behaved and Jen and Juliana are awesome, helping our daughter feel better at drop offs when she’s having a rough morning.They even threw an amazing holiday party this past weekend that we had a blast at. 3 hours of entertainment for our toddler with different daycare rooms set up for bouncy house, pictures with Santa, arts and crafts, cookies and movie. The staff was all dressed up in character and it was so festive!”

“This day care exceeded my expectations. The teachers are not only experienced but genuinely love what they do. My child always comes home happy and eager to share stories from her day. It's truly a warm and loving environment, and I couldn't be happier with our choice.Thanks so much all tether and Miss Elena ”

“We love Gymboree!!! Mr. Joey has been our teacher once we started and he has been fantastic! My baby actually took her first steps in one of the classes. It’s so nice for her to run around with kids her age in a safe and clean environment. I recommend this place to every parent!”

“Sunnyfields has been my daughters daycare for the past two years and we are so sad she graduated from Pre-k! This daycare has been phenomenal and my daughter is definitely prepared for kindergarten!”

“I've been taking my children here since 2013. The staff is caring and they take precautions to keep the children safe. Before choosing Kings Kids, I did my research and went to see 3 other daycares. I felt so safe choosing Kings Kids and I cant say enough good things about Miss Joanne and her staff! The religious aspect is an added Bonus!!”

“I can’t say enough of how amazing this daycare is. After changing 3 daycares in the past I am so thankful that I found this place for my kids. The staff have been working there for years and the care and the affection they provide to each child is absolutely incredible. My daughter loves her teachers and hugs them before leaving and that right there makes any mom feel safe and assured that their kids are being loved and well taken care of. She speaks of her teachers so fondly especially miss Trisha , miss Dominique and Miss Janelle. My son’s transition was so easy and thanks to miss Amanda. Kristen the manager and every staff always makes you feel comfortable and caters to every need regarding your child and also keeps you updated on your child’s daily activities. Each teacher forms a relationship with your kid and treats them with utmost care and not just a job. I can’t recommend this place enough.”

“My child was in another day care and we had a bad experience. When I took a tour of the learning experience in Denville once I met Vicki the director and the teachers, they made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. The teachers took the time to talk to my child and make him feel comfortable. The center is immaculate and child friendly. My son comes home very happy everyday and I know that is because of his new teachers and the way the school is run by the director Vicki. You can tell she really cares about all of the children. I would like to thank her for making my child feel like this is his home away from home.”

“I have nothing but fabulous things to say about TLE Roseland. My son has been enrolled here for the past 2.5 years, from the time he was 4 months old on. He's received an exceptional education, has built really strong social skills and has become incredibly adaptable - I credit this all to caring teachers here. He's been in 4 different class rooms in his time there, each with a different set of teachers - we've found all of the staff to be incredibly helpful, personable and proactive. I've also felt secure and in the loop on everything he and his class are doing during the day with the updates and pictures in the app. I've found the level of communication to be excellent and seems far beyond what others provide based on the feedback from my mom friends. Next week will unfortunately be his last week at the Roseland location, as we're moving him to the TLE location closer to home in Bloomfield that is now owned by the same franchise partners. It was a very tough decision that we put off making, but it saves us a two hour round trip daily commute and we know that he'll receive the same standard of care and education at the other location.”

“Kiddie Academy of Floram Park is a trusted and caring day care that one can find in the neighborhood. All the teachers are extremely patient interacting with the children. The center director and assistant director are very passionate about taking extra attention to the details. They made the classroom a second home for my daughter to nurture beautifully!!!”

“The learning experience (TLE) in Livingston has made my transition back to work super easy and I was confident in their ability to care for my son. When I was looking into daycares, TLE was great from the start. I went to visit the center with my young baby and was greeted with kindness. Patty and Corinne explained the centers style and answered all of my questions. My son started in the infant room at 5 months old with Miss Loretta and I could not be more pleased. I work in healthcare and finding a facility that provides early hours and/ or extended hours was hard to find. My son participates in the before care and Miss Neequa and Miss Loretta always greet us with a smile at 630AM. We have been here for over a year at this time and I still am impressed with the activities for the children. I highly recommend this facility.Bonus: they have two new outdoor turf playgrounds, and a grass fenced in area for the kiddies.”

“Our son has been attending Primrose School of Florham Park for just under a year and we absolutely love this school. The staff is amazing, the entire operation is extremely well-organized, and they truly care about your child. My son is excited to go to school every day. His teachers are kind and loving. The office staff is responsive and informative. We love Primrose!!!”

“I absolutely love all of the teachers at the school. They take care of my daughter like she is one of their own. I understand it’s a business, but I do feel like my daughter learns so much and is cared for as if she is family. Looking forward to continuing her education at KinderCare in Whippany.”

“We absolutely love Bloomingdale Daycare! After having a bad situation with another daycare, they quickly welcomed my kid into their center. They made her feel safe and happy and she needed that. I was also super impressed how they communicate throughout the day via text or pictures. It was the first time I actually had an idea of what my kid did during the day. They center is secured so I felt safe with her there while also is welcoming so you can come inside and see the center too. I definitely recommend Bloomingdale Daycare!”

“Kindercare Denville is the best! The teachers, as well as Laura and Leah, are all caring, honest, compassionate, and trustworthy. The building is always clean and safety is a top priority. I would recommend this center to anyone looking for a great experience for their child.”

“My daughter and son both attended Growing Place. I think it's the perfect combination of academics and fun. My daughter is there now, and she loves going to school every day. She's very shy, and I was worried to try a new preschool, but even after one month she's come out of her shell, is learning so much, and has made friends. The teachers are very nurturing. They work really hard to make it a great experience and do many wonderful events throughout the year.”

“Jennifer runs this place with SO MUCH care and attention.. she puts in 1,000% every single day in making sure the children are cared for and attended to in every situation. All the staff members that I've met are wonderful beyond expectation. Rebecca, especially has been so kind and helpful on numerous occasions. I can't thank everyone enough!”

“We have loved having our kiddos at Bright Horizons! It’s a safe and nurturing environment and the teachers are amazing. Ms. Alexis and Ms. Rose are like family ”

“We really love all of the teachers and staff so far. They seem to genuinely care about each of the students which puts me at ease as a first time parent. They do some really fun activities as well, like the classroom parties and projects! My son really likes his teachers as well and you can see his development from being enrolled!Our son started at 1 year old and he loves it! You can really see that he enjoys socializing with others. While he’s still learning the mechanics of being in a classroom setting, you can definitely see those skills developing.He loves Ms Estrella and Ms Cat, his main teachers! They are both so caring and they seem to have a lot of fun with their students. He also got a chance to hang out with Ms Juwell at a Parents Night Out event and now she’s one of his favorite people.I’m so glad we found Lightbridge Academy in Whippany! It’s close to home and work for me, and everyone has been amazing!”

“I was there with my baby little son today, converted to the Jewish religion on my heart and personality about a year ago because of their nice human attitude .. took me so long to decide going ahead and practice it and start praying and doing other worship . As it’s my first time in a Jewish center finally, and full of happiness that I finally made it to me and my son i asked the people working there help to guide me on praying and get close understanding practicing religion that i just converted to . they said you have to speak to Michelle I spoke to her and she asked me do I live here in pine Brook? I said i used to with my x husband but now I’m i live in Wayne, she said ok no problem.. and she interviewed me with so many questions and i had no problem with that for sure , i felt so welcomed in the beginning from every one, gave me the brochure and the service times and the application to pay to get a membership and become a member i was so glad and happy i went for a walk about 20 min around# But i was chocked when i came back to my car that it was alllll a Fake welcomes . I was surprised having three police cars waiting for me with Michelle “ saying sorry to me ! the same person who told me you’re welcome to come anytime and just by attending you will learn everything about how to practice !!! Called the police for me saying that there is two other Jewish center in wayne why would you come here !!! Excuse me ? A single mom with a baby in a holy Jewish center what would be suspension about it ? Nothing happened after that she tried to talk to me and i said please don’t talk to me , I just feel so unfortunate That this is happening,. They called me later and gave me an official apologies and explained to me which is I really appreciate and totally forgiven .May God bless everyone.”

“Simply said... they take care of kids same way you do at home. I used be so worried, but after nearly half a year and moving from baby room to toddler room I have ZERO worries and I've seen how the teachers in both rooms interact with the kids and they are absolutely phenomenal. They are caring and nurturing. They make sure the kids are taken care of.I highly recommend this school/daycare.”

“Highly recommended! We loved being apart of the London Day School community while our son attended their Preschool Prep program during the 2022-2023 school year. We were new to the area after our family moved to NJ from CA, and we'd spent months over the summer searching for a school for my youngest (who had yet to start any type of structured preschool program). We happily stumbled upon LDS, and were so happy that we did. Our kiddo thoroughly enjoyed his time there, and quickly attached to his teacher Ms Rosie. She was absolutely wonderful with him -- helping him through his worries at drop-off, helping him try different foods, and checking in with us regarding any and all concerns. We ended up needing to leave the school due to commute challenges. But our kiddo still talks about his time at London Day School, and we all miss it very much. We are so grateful that our child's first school year experience was at LDS.”

“I was referred by a family member who has kids that attend in another location and I’ve loved it ever since my initial tour of the school! It’s my son’s first full week and I’m pleased thus far with the experience. My son is eating more after watching his peers eat the freshly prepared food that is provided and he loves his teachers! I also really appreciate That l can, not only receive frequent updates of what my son is doing throughout the day,, but how l can periodically check in on him and see in real time how he is doing. All while away at work! It eases my mind and it reminds me of what a great choice I’ve made in choosing my son’s first school to attend!”

“I'm so happy that I made the decision two years ago to send my daughter to Bright Horizons center at Rockaway. She's now turning four and becoming a beautiful, confident, passionate and kind little girl. And I give a lot of the credit to BH. All the teachers and staff in the center are so caring and she enjoys everyday of being in the center. So sad that we need to leave BH family since we're moving. Would highly recommend this center if you're nearby and also looking for a daycare.”

“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 :)”

“My son has been attending Bright Horizons at Parsippany since he was in the infant class, and now in the toddler class, we’ve had nothing but great things to say and feel about the school. It is a safe, clean, and friendly learning environment. The staff from the director to each and every teacher have been so nice and accommodating throughout our time at the school. We love to check in on the app daily to see what he’s up to at school that day, and to also check how he did with his naps and how he ate. They host fun family inclusive events throughout the year, and they are very inclusive when it comes to celebrating and learning about all cultures. Finding the right childcare center and school can sometimes be a daunting task for new parents, but I can firsthand assure anyone reading this, that Bright Horizons is a wonderful and safe place to enroll your children.”

“Could not love Primrose Morristown any more! Our daughter has grown leaps and bounds since starting here, and we are amazed at all that she's picked up. Special shout out to the Young Toddler room as well. Our daughter lights up when she sees her teachers Ms. Jasmine, Manny, Grace, & Mayerly. We love you, Primrose!”

“Our daughter began attending Loving and Learning Christian Childcare in November of 2021. We couldn’t be happier. The owner is kind, loving and Flexible. My schedule can change periodically, and she’s been very accommodating. We like that our daughter is in a Godly environment as well. Our daughter sometimes doesn’t even want to leave school when we pick her up because she’s enjoying herself so much. We are so happy we found this school.”

“We love everything about Goddard in Denville! The staff, cleanliness, safety, quality education, fun activities and events! We sent our daughter for three years and highly recommend this location!”
