“Absolutely love Gymboree with my 1 year old, especially at this location! All of the staff is incredible, and very hands on with the kids. They have such fun classes planned where the kids can learn & explore. We look forward to going weekly, and it is truly the highlight our week. Highly recommend!!!”

“The management team at Kindercare is absolutely the best! Ms Danielle, Ms Bianca, Ms Kimmy and Ms Barbara strive in providing a safe and happy environment for our children.”

“We recently moved to the area and were overwhelmed by the school search. After touring numerous schools, Playhouse felt like a warm hug, putting our worries at ease that this would be the perfect school for our son. As the year has gone by, we have been blown away by the progress he has made, both emotionally and mentally, and how happy he is when he comes home each day. The whole staff is loving, supportive and super communicative, as well as the community of parents who are incredibly involved and reliable. We couldn’t ask for more in a school and would 1000% recommend.”

“My children have only been here for about 2 weeks but oh my what an amazing school! My son is 3 and autistic daughter is 5. They show that they care for every child whether they’ve been there their whole lives or just a few days. You see the teachers love what they do and always take the time to let me know how they were for the day. If anything happens they’re quick to call me and inform me of what’s going on. You can feel the love in the school and how much everyone loves being there. The school it’s self physically is beautiful, colorful and inviting, the staff are caring and so helpful, I wish I would have found them wayyyy before. My son has had some behavioral issues that has gotten him kicked out of two daycares but here he’s engaged, focused and concentrated. Teachers are quick to redirect and not scream at them all day. I write this long review because I was holding my breath but TLE is truly a gem of a place, and even if the price might be out of your budget like it did for me, it’s so worth it knowing your kid(s) are well taken care of. Thank you to everyone at TLE.”

“My daughter has been part of Lightbridge for the past four years, and she looks forward to going to school each day. She adores her teachers, Ms. Marie and Ms. Angel. The entire team at Lightbridge is compassionate, nurturing, and incredibly supportive. Thanks to their guidance, my daughter has gained a wealth of knowledge and is well-prepared for kindergarten.”

“After researching and visiting many daycares in Wayne , I found Primrose to be the standout option. From the moment I scheduled a tour, I had the pleasure of meeting April, who was absolutely delightful and professional in every aspect of her role. The experience from start to finish was impressive. Unfortunately, my toddler fell ill and couldn’t continue attending. However, the response to this situation truly set Primrose apart. The owner personally reached out to express her care and took every step to address our concerns, which was deeply appreciated. Nicole, too, was very sweet and handled our situation with utmost professionalism. This level of care and attention has made me seriously reconsider Primrose for my little one in the future. Their compassionate and professional approach has left a lasting impression”

“My twin girls started at New Generation Learning Center (NGLC) when they were 18 months old. After surveying several facilities this one by far proved to be the best!
The clean spacious rooms, on facility kitchen, fresh healthy meal options, 24x7 camera access, attentive as well as accessible staff makes this daycare facility unique.
Ms. Jamila Ylidiz, the current director of NGLC, is positive, enthusiastic and hardworking. She maintains a one on one relationship with the children and their parents. She is open to new suggestions and ensures they are promptly implemented. She along with her staff provides a safe, warm and nurturing environment for children’s growth.They have a wide range of exciting learning activities suitable for the all round development of a child’s personality.
We as parents are impressed with Ms Jamila’s efforts to raise the standards of NGLC. Her level of commitment and dedication is commendable. We couldn’t be happier.
Thank you for all that you do!”

“KinderCare of Denville was Liam's first daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience! Liam has been attending for over two years now, and there are days he doesn’t even want to leave because he loves it so much. The entire faculty has been incredibly caring and supportive of his growth and learning.

Special thanks to Ms. Melly, Ms. Mar, Ms. Sam, Laura, Leah, and all the amazing teachers who have made a tremendous impact on his education. Thanks to their dedication, Liam is now speaking in full sentences and learning something new every day. The teachers are attentive, nurturing, and always ensure he’s engaged in meaningful activities.

I wholeheartedly recommend KinderCare of Denville to any parent looking for a daycare that feels like a second home for their child!”

“Finding a school for your young child can be a stressful experience. You're entrusting people you may not know with taking care of your kid during some of their most formative years. Orchard School has been absolutely tremendous.We came to them after a negative experience at a chain daycare for our then-6-month-old. The difference was immediate - rather than crying when dropping her off, she would crawl to her teachers and wouldn't want to come home when we came to pick her up. Her growth since joining the 0-5 y/o class has been astonishing. We've enjoyed watching her become a part of the group - the older kids watch out for and play with the younger ones with a care that reminds us of siblings.The teachers do a great job combining play with educational enrichment activities, and the property has a delightful array of spaces for the kids to enjoy, ranging from a ball pit to a pool to mini-rooms with tiny furniture to a track for biking. The staff is super flexible and understanding; it feels like we have true partners in our child's care and understanding.The most important thing I have to say about Orchard is that its staff sees the kids for who they are. They understand each kid is an individual with their own personality and needs, and they do everything they can to encourage each child to be the best version of themself. Our daughter (now 18 months) is growing into a wonderful little person, and Orchard School has played a huge part.”

“We absolutely love the Goddard School of West Orange! Our oldest has been there since they opened and has learned a great deal. We are fully confident she will be very well prepared for kindergarten in the fall! Our second child has also been there for a year and half and is doing amazing. Not only have both of our children learned a great deal and have developed excellent social skills but they are truly loved by all of the teachers/staff at the school. It feels like a family and we couldn't be happier with our experience at Goddard West Orange!”

“I can say that I was extremely nervous to step into a classroom setting for the very first time. I wondered if I would be a good fit and if I had anything valuable to give growing and impressionable future leaders. When I started Primrose, I was taken in immediately as if I’ve always been there. I appreciate that administration and the teachers were so patient and understanding with me being new to a classroom setting. Before you knew it, I felt like I could take on any classroom or situation with the same grace and encouragement that I received from Primrose. I will always remember everything and I will always appreciate Primrose, so thank you for the experience and thank you for making me feel included.”

“We are thrilled with the instruction Ethan received. He went to Lindamood happy everyday and came out learning something new. The progress shown is incredible and we are thankful this program exists!”

“Both my kids enrolled here and they went to super talkative from non verbs It is so great to trust Goddard family I know that my kids there are safe and teachers will do their best for them in all aspects”

“We absolutely love this daycare!
The teachers are kind, patient, and truly care about the kids.
Our child has learned so much since starting here — not just letters and numbers, but also how to share, be kind, and express feelings.
Every day, we get updates and pictures, which makes us feel very connected.
We feel lucky to have found a place that feels safe, fun, and nurturing.
Highly recommend to any parent looking for a great daycare!”

“We love Lightbridge Academy!! My daughter will be three and my son is one and we've been g attending Lightbridge since my daughter has been born. The staff is incredible and so caring for my children. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else!!! Highly recommend this daycare”

“Very positive experience from infant 1 through Toddler 1 classroom. The directors at the school creative a positive culture and work ethic which is evident in all the staff!

Recently my daughter has been having some emotional turmoil at home with the arrival of her baby brother. The toddler classroom has continued to provide her with a safe haven of fun, play, and love.

The confidence and trust I have for the staff at the school is beyond. This week, her teacher has being giving her some extra support, and sending us frequent updates and pictures. Having this extra attention is above and beyond and my family appreciates it so much. It truly makes our life better knowing how wonderful her experience is at Primrose. I’m not surprised however, because her lead teacher is ALWAYS exceeding any expectations with her creativity and engagement

Highly recommend!”

From day one, I was immersed in a world of creativity, learning from industry experts who are not only passionate about makeup but also incredibly supportive mentors.

If you're ready to turn your passion into a profession and embrace a journey of self-discovery, look no further. S.O.M.E.

“I love ? the teachers here. Everyone is very supportive and engaged with the children. My son started a little before turning one years old. He has progressed tremendously. I give these teachers my utmost respect because it's not easy in their line of work but the best always makes it look so easy ?. I appreciate all of your effort and commitment in teaching and supporting my son's development.”

“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.”

“Absolutely love this daycare! The curriculum is fun and educational! The teachers are loving and caring. The owners are just as involved as the teachers and they are so nice! If you are looking for a preschool I would highly recommend sending your child! Couldn’t have brought my son to a better preschool! They will not disappoint!”

“I used to babysit for a family who sent their kids there and loved it! Then (a feeew years later) we went for a tour when we were looking for daycare for our 1 yr old. We recognized many of the same teachers there, and that was such a great sign!! So now our daughter has been going there for about 6 months, and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience. LOVE love love the regular updates and open communication with the teachers and administration. And our daughter comes home happy and clean and learning new songs and sign language! Really glad with the choice we made.”

“The staff and administration at BH are best in class; they’re supremely organized, never overwhelmed, and extremely thoughtful in how they develop each and every student. The ratios are attractive, and the development we’ve seen in such a short time has been very impressive. We’re very confident in the BH team, and will not hesitate to send our second there as well when the time comes!”
