Schools in Paramus, NJ

“We moved to NJ temporary for 3 months, we had to find a daycare for my 4 year old son and 2 years old daughter, the process was easy and fast. This is a Gem, the sweetest personal you will ever find, they really care about kids and family.Pros: they are open all the time, daily pictures, different activities, family oriented, kids enjoyed it, they are super clean, they really care about the kids, all the food are included (extra fee)Cons: We moved out and we can’t find anything like this place”

“We love this daycare so much! My 3 year old is always so happy to RUN through the doors everyday. My 7 month old just started here last month! The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing, compassionate, and caring people - that truly care about every individual child. The relatively large indoor gym is key for those rainy days or any afternoon when the kids just need to play and run around with their friends. They bring optional extracurricular activities into the center such as super soccer stars, karate, and dance (for an extra cost), which is awesome to have available! I also enjoy the daily updates and pictures on what my kids are up to! We couldn’t be happier sending our kids to this school!”

“To have to hear such a story. It’s understandable when it comes to our kids we become very protected. This is because she didn’t answer a question. My child had Ms Alicia as a teacher. My son was always happy and excited to be in her class. She was always welcoming, fun and very nurturing. We had a great experience with her.”

“We toured several schools in Paramus before settling on Goddard. We passed up two very popular franchises that were closer to our home and chose Goddard for the following reasons:1) Great curriculum. We compared the work of the older students compared to the other schools. Most advanced/engaging curriculum by far2) Low turnover. Ask how long the teachers have been there or how long the admin have. The three main admin have been there since the beginning (over 5 years ago) and I have yet to see one teacher quit since we started our child here. Other schools we saw turnover within months (we toured multiple times)3) Have an indoor gym. Great for rainy/cold days!4) They don't send out unnecessary newsletters/constantly ask the parents for more money or help for events. If parents are interested you can reach out but they won't be contributing to any "mom guilt" if you don't have time to spend on x or y event.”

“We first brought our son to TLE at 3yo. We were advised by our previous daycare to follow up with early intervention with potential behavioral challenges. Well, he cleared Early Intervention with flying colors and turns out he just wasn’t being challenged enough cognitively, intellectually, and structurally. Within 2 weeks we saw our son adjust and improve his tantrums and he flourished having exceeded our expectations. The initial staff he entered with was a power house, very open to LGBT families and welcoming, daily we were greeted with happy faces. There was a period of time administration was experiencing a rough patch. I would agree it is difficult to find committed personnel in today’s world, but I did not see a lapse in my son’s care. The current administration is working hard at maintaining the same quality as the previous group. They are approachable and take care of your concerns immediately. It is nice to see TLE working hard to bring the bright vibes back to the daily experience. We have a little one on the way and will likely use them when he is ready for day care too. I’ve met some great parents too that will become forever friends for our kiddos!”

“We have two daughters attending Lightbridge Academy Paramus. One has been there for three years and she’s transitioned well from potty training to changing classrooms. They’ve worked with us when we’ve needed extra attention with our younger daughter. The teachers treat the kids with kindness and lots of care especially Ms. Diana, Ms. Amanda, Ms. Chyna and Ms. Shalik.”

“My son has been part of their infant program, and I absolutely love his teachers, Ms. Norca and Ms. Teresa. They are very attentive to my kid . Keep me communicated with every single update about my kid with pictures ( which I would like more of) .I am very appreciative of care my son receives”

“My son always has a great time at school. They came highly recommended from the local mom group and they always respond quickly via email, text, or phone. I did my research and they always passed NJ inspections and they've been in business for a long time. I'm glad my son has a safe place to learn and play with friends for the next few years until he starts kindergarten. I also enjoy the pictures/videos they send to the parents during their day.”

“Had my son’s birthday party here and I was so so so pleased. Every parent was happy it was a private party and they didn’t need to keep running after their child because it was too full like other places. The staff was so pleasant, helpful and friendly. The whole process was seamless. I’m so happy we chose to do my sons birthday party here and definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good place for a birthday party.”
