Five stars just doesn't feel like enough for Little Explorers Early Learning Academy - UPK…read more From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew we had found a truly special place. The staff isn't just professional and knowledgeable -- they are incredibly loving, warm, and deeply committed to every child in their care. Our daughter lights up every morning when we tell her it's time for school. That kind of joy can't be faked -- it's the result of being in an environment where she feels safe, celebrated, and genuinely loved. The teachers treat each child like family, noticing the little things, comforting them when needed, and encouraging their growth every step of the way. They consistently go above and beyond -- whether it's through thoughtful activities, creative learning experiences, or just taking the time to share updates that show how well they know and care for our child. It means the world to us to know she is not only learning and growing, but doing so surrounded by people who truly care. We're endlessly grateful to the Little Explorers team for creating such a nurturing and inspiring space. They are helping raise kind, curious, and confident little humans -- and we couldn't imagine a better place for our daughter to begin her journey.

This is a fantastic center that I truly cannot recommend enough! The team here takes every step to…read moreensure each child's individual needs are met, allowing them to thrive in their academic and social-emotional growth. Both my daughters are so, so loved, and I never doubt the level of care and attention they are getting at school. Nutritious meals are included with tuition, which is a HUGE benefit. There are also seasonal classes such as dance, gymnastics, and soccer provided on-site by outside vendors, which lets us expose the girls to different sports without eating up precious weekends or evenings. Truly a great center!!

It's really hard to put into words the exceptional and nurturing care the Goddard School of…read moreParsippany provides for the children and their families. The owners, Mr. Pavan & Ms. Nerale, the directors Stacy & Ashley, and the teachers Ms. Nicole, Ms. Anu, and Ms. Alex are nothing short of phenomenal. Every single employee treats you and your child like family. They quickly become your village, rooting for your child every day. They are patient, welcoming, and comforting - a safety net if you will. You can tell this is so much more than a mere job to them. Their love and care for children radiates in everything they do. My son goes to the daycare happily in the morning. He has learned so much already, and the activities they provide are always age appropriate tailored to engage kids and develop their skills. My heart feels at peace leaving my child there. There's nothing more I could ask for.

Their process was so simple and everyone is very professional in their approach and attitude, not only that we joined our twins but also had been telling many parents who are not aware of this school age kids support program.

They make the 4 year olds wear uniforms (never disclosed), all children must use the school provided backpacks (never disclosed) amongst other school related decisions we were not disclosed. When we attempted to get our registration fee back we were told we're weren't charged tuition and the charge wasn't enforced as a "good faith" gesture. Pretty much you're lucky so no your $600 registration is ours. The owner was absolutely rude and snarky. The education director is cold and very rude. Make sure you ask every question you can think of because they don't ask, don't tell.

TL;DR: This is an amazing school with caring teachers. Your child will learn so much and will love…read moregoing to school. Our now 2yo daughter started at Primrose of Florham Park last summer after we relocated to the area. During a time of such transition for her, Ms. Samuels and her other teachers provided so much nurturing, love, and compassion for her. She has since transitioned into the Toddlers class where Ms. White and Ms. Santana are loving and patient with her antics AND she learns so much. Over Christmas, she came home one day and just started naming colors (at 18mo!!). She now counts as she goes down the stairs. It's clear that education truly is the foundation for everything they do and that they do it with love for each child. Lastly, I will say that in addition to her teachers, our daughter has great relationships with people at Primrose who aren't even her teachers - Ms. Cathy, Ms. Joseph, etc. To me, this shows that the culture at the school is amazing in every classroom environment. Another benefit of going to Primrose is the app they use - Procare. This may seem trivial but it's been a huge upgrade from our previous daycare. You can customize notifications to get real-time photos and updates from your child's day. And, on tough mornings, the school will send extra photos to reassure you that your little one is okay. Regarding COVID-19, the school has taken critical precautions that thus far have prevented any school shutdowns or outbreaks. It is sometimes inconvenient to keep our daughter home with a cold while we wait for a COVID-19 result; however, it gives me peace that everyone else has to do it too. Overall, we're so glad that we chose Primrose. And our daughter is too - she squeals when we pull into the school parking lot most days.

Do not enroll your kids in this daycare…read more I enrolled my son in this daycare few months ago and had a very terrible experience.The teachers in my son's classroom were very rude and irresponsible. There were two instances where I went to pick my son and found him in wet clothes. His teacher did not even bother to change his clothes (God knows for how long he was sitting in those wet clothes). I don't understand how come his teacher did not realize that he was sitting in wet clothes if I could figure it out in few seconds after seeing my son. When I asked the teacher why he was sitting in wet clothes she did not even care to apologize. In other few instances, I found my son's shoe laces untied and his teachers did not bother to help him tie the shoe laces. Also his teachers were so rude, at several instances I have noticed them screaming loudly at the kids. Thank god , I have recently enrolled my son in an another daycare. My son is loving his new school from the very first day and never wants to go back to the learning experience. This is the worst daycare I have even seen.

The teachers and the administration are so dedicated and so wonderful. It's why my daughter is also enrolled. The office staff made up of Ms. Nazo and Ms. Elizabeth is the best. Director Elizabeth Freeman is AMAZING- first one in, last one out. She's hands on, warm, and always approachable. The same can be said about Ms. Nazo. Her passion and dedication are evident in her daily interactions with the kids and staff. Shout out to all the teachers, honestly too many to name. They are all fantastic and so great with the kids, whether they are in the same class or not. Ms. Roy and Ms. Kim, again too many to name, are among those that have made a huge difference in our son's development. If you're on the fence don't be!
