The staff not only provides a warm and nurturing environment but also implements a fantastic curriculum. Our daughter is 4 years old and has thrived in the program, and we're amazed by her progress in numbers, addition, reading, and writing. Thank you for fostering her love for learning and for providing such a supportive environment!”

“I have my 2 year old daughter at Mickey Academy and she’s been here for 9 months already and I can’t explain how happy I am to have my daughter taken care off at this place, the teachers are great, friendly and they truly care about your child! I’ve seen my daughter developed in so many ways, and most of it it’s all thanks to Mickey Academy! I will recommend this daycare to any parent, and God willing I would want my future kids at this place also!!”

“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 Gymboree!! I have been taking my daughter here since she was 4 months old and now she is 1. As a stay at home mom I wanted to join a class where my baby would be active, social and develop her skills. This place has been amazing for my daughter and myself as well. Big plus when I started in the babies class it was a great support system for me since you get to talk to other moms that might be going through the same thing and you don’t feel alone as a first time mom. We love going every week!! We started with Ms.Geri and we love her! We also go to class with Ms.Morgan as well and she is also great! We love our gymbo teachers and friends we made!!”

“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”

“If I could give Redbirds 10 stars I would! I am so thankful for the team at Lightbridge Whippany. I’m a first time mom and my daughter has been there for almost a year. My husband and I feel they are a very important part of my daughter’s care team. In my experience, these are people who really know their stuff when it comes to early childhood development. Their actions show that they truly care about the children’s outcomes. They give me great advice and ideas and I trust them wholeheartedly. I have camera access, but I really only watch to cheer myself up at work! My daughter is always smiling, dancing and learning. If I have questions or concerns I bring it up with them. I feel supported. Ms. Yvette has always been there for us from day one, and soon after Ms Juwell; both of these ladies helped us care for our daughter during a very challenging year for our family. We’re so happy to have Ms Bryanna now and we also love the Goldfish teachers, Ms Estrella, and everyone else who watches over our kiddo! It means so much to us that she is happy, cared for, and loves going to school.”

“This daycare is clean and provides a positive space for our child. I've been most impressed with the preschool curriculum. My daughter is reading beyond sight words because her teacher's have given her the foundational steps to sound out words. Their patience and work with my daughter has given her confidence with reading I couldn't imagine. She is well prepared for kindergarten and I couldn't be happier.”

“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!”

“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”

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!”

“Our experience at TLE Roseland has been so amazing! As a first time mom starting your child at daycare at 4 months is scary. The staff at TLE from the admin team, owners, and her teachers Miss Nydia and Miss Marcie have really made this transition so easy. Our daughter is always happy to see her teachers in the morning and it has really created a positive space for her to spend her time playing and socializing. They do a wonderful job of focusing and working on development and encouraging them to meet their milestones. I am excited to watch her grow and continue to thrive in their care.”

“We love First Pres! My daughter started there at 2.5 years old with Mrs. Garden. The growth that she has shown from attending pre-school there and all that she has learned is beyond my imagination. I can't thank the incredible and loving staff for providing my daughter with a great first school experience.”

“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.”

“Finding a good and safe childcare center is every parents' wish and responsibility. When I started looking for child care centers by only priority was his safety and health. I was looking for a friendly, welcoming place to take care of my son and also keeps him safe. I did a google search, visited few centers did not like any of them and did not feel comfortable to register my son. But when we came across Kids R Kids, Jordan was very kind and helped us to have tour. That tour was enough to give us assurance that our son will be taken care of. My son was very attached to me and I knew that he will awhile to get comfortable but unlike my expectation within few days he felt confident and happy going to Kids R Kids. He gets up every morning ready to go and everyday when he comes home he is happy. They say that if you see a happy child coming out of a childcare center know that they are taking a good care of him and its absolutely true.Kids R kids is clean, and neat. They have cameras to watch your kids and they serve food. Classes have at least two teachers at a time and they take good care of hygiene. There is story time, play time, learning time and fund time. They sleep, they eat, they dance and they sing. All teachers are great and all staff are welcoming. A big shout out to the entire team of Kids R kids!! You all are doing a great job ??”

“There are no words to describe how pleased we are with our son's development at Kiddie Academy in West Caldwell. We were so apprehensive about sending out speech delayed son to daycare for the first time and KA made that transition seamless. He started school barely even saying "mama" and after a few weeks, he was already making significant strides in his development. The owner, Jill, and Director, Stacy, are very communicative and genuinely cared for my son and his well being. If I was ever concerned, they are always there with open ears (and arms). The structure is wonderful and the love and care the teachers have for the children is more than I could have asked for in a school for my son. The cameras are also a huge plus as I could see my son playing and learning during the day. They also offer a meal program which is amazing because I never have to worry about what he will eat for breakfast, lunch or snacks. So glad to have found this school for my son!”

“My daughter has been in Kiddie Academy for about 2.5 years (since she was 9 months old, and she's turning 3 in May!). We Love KA! After all this time, finally leaving this shining review :-)The learning curriculum & activities for the kids are wonderful. They also put on an amazing Trunk or Treat/Halloween Parade, Summer Carnival, Water Play, Bubble/Foam party, etc.. They really do LOVE the kids and truly CARE about each of them. The premises are clean, the teachers are nothing short of amazing, as well as the administration staff (Mr Bernie, Mrs Ashley & Miss Christine).Highly recommend Kiddie Academy Montville, Thanks for all you do KA! <3 Eve Bufi”

“Discovering School of Makeup Effects was an absolute game-changer for me... 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. The hands-on experience and personalized guidance has empowered me to unlock my full potential as a makeup artist. 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. It's more than just a school; it's a transformative experience that will ignite your creativity and propel you toward your dreams. I really cannot recommend S.O.M.E. highly enough.

OH! and the day you get your Kit, is the best day of life!”

“Both my kids attending Tiny Stars and I am glad they did. The staff is excellent. The operator, Linda, is nothing short of an angel. Its a pity we had to move our kids because we were relocating but I would recommend to anyone that Tiny Stars is first class.”

“My daughters have been attending Rainbow Montessori for the past 3 years and I absolutely love the school and teachers. My first daughter was an emergency enrollment when my mother could no longer watch her. She thrived there and learned so much. My second daughter was born a few months later and joined when she was 5 months old. The teachers are very attentive and you can tell care deeply about their students. They still make my older daughter (who is now in public school) feel so welcome when she tags along to pick up her little sister.”

“Our daughter just graduated from the PreK program at Busy Bee and we cannot say enough great things about this school! She has grown so much this year and is totally ready for Kindergarten thanks to Ms. Susan and Ms. Gail. The graduation ceremony really highlighted everything the class has learned this year with the songs and short play performed by the students. I also need to mention the amazing teachers in the infant room who cared for our son this year. The teachers at Busy Bee are so warm and caring, it feels like we are dropping our kids off with family.”

“We can't thank enough the teachers of this school for their love, care, kindness and dedication to our children. They are not simply just teachers, they are critical part of our kids lives. Thank you to the director of the school for all you do and make the school a place where we can send our children with confidence and joy knowing they are with people we trust!”

“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.”

“Little Lamb Children's Center has exceeded our expectations with its exceptional care and dedication to our child's development. The staff's genuine warmth and professionalism create a nurturing environment where our little one feels safe and valued. We've been impressed by the personalized approach to learning, tailored to our child's unique needs and interests, resulting in remarkable progress both socially and academically. We recommend Little Lamb.”

“I can't say enough about the learning experience in North Haledon. My son was there for one month before I moved him to the public school. That one months was enough to build a good feeling and a great memory in his little brain. He loved his teacher miss Anisa so loving understanding and calm person.The administration, was a great help, fast handling
registration requirements and very helpful and flexible I can't but to say they are the best option for any parent.”
