The instructors are young kids. They are sweet and friendly with the kids and must be very good swimmers. But they aren't good teachers by any standards. Most of the times they are giggling with their friends, and not paying any attention to whether the kids are able to follow their directions or not. Two full sessions (15 odd classes) with them and their has not been much progress in my child's (7 year old) swimming ability.

You…read morecan see that she truly loves her job, gives it her all, and genuinely cares about every single child in her school. My daughter had delayed gross motor skills and Ms. Bushra was the first to bring it to my attention (again showing she knows all of the kids and keeps a close eye on them) and helped me come up with a plan as to what I could do out of school as well as what they would do to help her and now she has significantly improved. As a teacher myself, I think she is one of the best leaders I have ever seen! I have 2 children, and both started at the center as infants. Over the past 5 years, Ms. Karen has been in the infant room and she is amazing, as well as the other infant teachers. It can be scary sending your baby to a center, especially first time parents, but they are in wonderful hands. As a teacher I also love the structure of the center. No matter the age, there is a time frame for what they will do each day. Children need structure and they get it here. My children love it here...my 5 year old sometimes says at 5pm, "wait mom...can you get my sister first, I want to finish my drawing." I feel that my son is ready for kindergarten next year. He can read, write, do math, arts & crafts, has learned Spanish & Mandarin, has the opportunity to do hands on activities, and plays soccer (or other free play activities) in Make Believe Boulevard & play outside on the playground daily. The food is always a nice balanced healthy diet. It is also a nice time saver when you don't have to prep food (except for when they are infants). The kids also love the periodic celebrations: trunk or treat w/ parade, holiday celebrations, mother/father's day celebrations, etc. After searching around price wise, this center is also very reasonably priced compared to others in the nearby area. I have recommended this center to multiple friends and they all are very happy as well. My family highly recommends this center! -Lauren F. Nearby Public School Teacher

Our caregiver Damia was absolutely the best and gave me piece of mind that my son was safe and happy when I had to be at my busy job where I am a manager. Damia not only text me updates and pictures, let me talk to my son, but she went above and beyond the job. She did my laundry and folded it. She swept my house, hand washed my dishes, and even made my bed when I didn't have time to make it this morning. On-Call Concierge service has top nanny's and caregivers. I highly recommend them. Unlike many other services I looked into On-Call Concierge also didn't charge me a finders fee, but instead a flat rate membership fee that included a guarantee of my scheduled caregivers. The caregivers are interviewed twice by Ridwana, go through an extensive interview process, and a thorough background check. After being on Care.com for months and not being able to find a quality person I could trust with my son I finally feel good about leaving my son at home when I need to. :) Thank you Damia and Ridwana for being so awesome! I look forward to working with other caregivers too (Since I am using their services mostly on-call I get a pool of 3-4 nanny's that will rotate).

I am sure my son missed the school, and especially his lead teacher Miss Sarah (toddler one class). Miss Sarah is an amazing teacher! I cannot imagine a better first teacher for my son. In addition to taking care of my son, she also put a lot of thoughts to his developments, trying to help him engaging more in various activities, and teaching him a lot of different things. We are so grateful for her. There is a lot of helpful communication and feedback during pick up time, and during the meetings with parents a few times a year. All other teachers are also great. The daily report with pictures and details is also very helpful. We are also very happy with the administration. When we visited for a tour, Ms Danielle was very helpful and friendly which was the main reason we chose Goddard. Ms Danielle is not the director there any more (she now owns another Goddard school) but all other staff are also nice. I would like to recommend the Goddard school Princeton without any reservation.

For the past 4 years, my son has been fortunate enough to call Bright Horizons "home." We began our first daycare experience at the center when he was just 17 months old, and today was his very last day of Kindergarten Prep. Throughout the years, the staff at Carnegie have loved my son through some of the most difficult periods of our lives. Bright Horizons is not just a "drop and go" daycare; teachers care profoundly about the children at the center and their families. It is serendipitous that Ms. Karyn, who was my child's first teacher at BH, also turned out to be his graduating teacher in KP. She has been warm, flexible, and supportive through deep personal hurts, such as when my son's father and I navigated through a very messy divorce. (I was extremely touched by the way Ms. Karyn approached sensitive holidays like Father's Day, even going above and beyond to help my son make 2 projects-- one for his dad, who was predominantly absent from his life at the time, and one for his grandpa). She was also hands-on and supportive after we received my son's ASD diagnosis, and worked earnestly with his BCBA-D to support him. Ms. Karyn knows each of her students intently and is always going above and beyond to plan engaging curriculum that will "hook" them. Her classroom is a place of creativity and inquiry, where students are always learning and developing a love of learning, too. As I turned the pages in his KP book, I couldn't help but cry seeing all the love that Ms. Karyn had poured into my child-- even on days when it was so hard to love him. Ms. Barbara, the center's chef, has ensured my child's safety at school from Day 1. My son has severe food allergies and center staff have in place strict preventative measures and an Allergy Action plan that have kept him safe for the entire time that he has been enrolled at BH. Leadership is always transparent and responsive. When we first started at the center, Jen Albright and Tracey Pennington created an amazing culture of partnership between Bright Horizons families. Diane DeYoung and Courtney Hollosi have continued to build on their strong foundation, with Kelli Mueller also playing a large part in connecting with families. Finally, we cannot express enough gratitude to the other teachers who have loved my son as he have moved up throughout the years-- Ms. Ingrid, Ms. Charlene, and Ms. Jessica. I wish all of the staff at Bright Horizons my very best, and cannot express enough love and gratitude for the years of happiness that you have given my child. As we continue on our journey to Kindergarten, we will cherish the years at Carnegie and never forget the profound impact you have made on our lives.

She learned many different skills- academically, socially and emotionally. The teachers are wonderful to say the least, as they truly care about every child. Each teacher tends to every child individually, in an appropriate academic setting and in a manner that meets the child's emotional and social needs. My daughter grew and blossomed with every day she attended and every year that passed. I truly believe in my heart, that who she is today, stems from the years she attended this school. It is a warm and nurturing environment with the appropriate age required academic structure that parallels with an environment of warmth and kindness. An atmosphere, like the one at this Montessori School, is an intricate, impressionable and most important part of the young years of our child's youth. The time spent as young toddlers mean so much as to who they become growing into adolescents and young adults and Windsor Montessori does an excellent job at preparing our children for an amazing future. Ms. Yasmín has done an astounding job with this school, the curriculum, the teaching of self awareness; including patience and self intrigued academic skills and the necessity of learning how to play and be okay with ones self. I still and will always recommend this Montessori School to anyone I come across with a child in their pre-k years. I couldn't be happier with the decision of having my daughter attend this school. Her years there influenced, formed and created the wonderful, amazing, academically excelling child I have now (as a third grader). So, in turn, I'd like to place a very special, warm-hearted thank you to all of the teachers. And a deeply rooted, heart felt thank you to Ms Yasmín. You have indefinitely made your mark on my daughter still to this day! Always, Sasha L-P
