As an early childhood educational professional and parent I can assure you that sending your child…read moreto The Learning Experience in Englewood Cliffs would be a very smart move. The staff in the twaddler (2's) room where my student is are top notch. The teachers are caring, efficient, nurturing and provide a positive learning environment and the administration runs a tight ship. When I come in they make sure I sign in and have a visitor badge. I go to many daycares and I do not see this type of security at any of them. If I was looking in the area for childcare this school would be my number one choice.

I have 2 of my babies here (2 and 4) for a bit over a year now (minus a covid related break). We…read moreare blessed to have this daycare. The teachers and staff there are so nice, caring, and loving. My kids are genuinely happy going there, and when I pick them up, they are always so happy. While I think the curriculum is great, I am really more happy that my older one is more free thinking and creative. He doesn't always say the most obvious of things, but kind of clever - I believe it is just the atmosphere TLE provides - they teach, but aren't overbearing/strict. There are boundaries and rules, but it isn't like the kids are boxed in in their thinking. I think anyone will benefit having their children come here.

It has almost been a year since my daughter started attending Justin's Learning Center and I can…read morehonestly say we absolutely love it there. From day one, the sisters and teachers have been nothing short of incredible. They truly love and care for the children as if they were their own and that kind of warmth and dedication is something you can't put a price on. Every morning I feel completely comfortable and confident sending my daughter in, knowing she is in such nurturing and capable hands. The environment is always super clean and you can tell they take great pride in making sure everything is tidied and sanitized at the end of each day. That attention to detail really stands out. Most importantly, my daughter has soared academically over this past year. We have seen so much growth in her confidence, learning and overall development. I truly cannot recommend Justin's Learning Center enough. It has been such a blessing for our family!

All of this in a matter of months. Yet all the daycare could provide is "meeting" once we decided to remove him. While we understand things happen with kids this age, they downplayed every situation and became furious at my review of their facility. They should be that efficient and vigilant of the kids as they are of their reviews !

The prices are very fair and the curriculum, while fun, often is disorganized and forces learning down their throats when children should enjoy themselves and learning will come naturally. It isn't the worst, and it isn't the best, but due to the worst turnover I've been a part of, this aspect may irk parents. Excellent infant care but the preschool area needed work when I left. I hope now, 2 years after my neighbors daughter attended for 6 months, things have improved. The food, the indoor and outdoor yard is gorgeous, nice touch.

As a parent, leaving your child at a daycare requires an immense amount of trust, and…read moreunfortunately, my experience at this center did not meet my expectations. I am very relieved that my daughter is no longer attending. The highlight of our experience was a few of the lead teachers and teacher assistants who genuinely cared about the children. I truly appreciate their dedication. I also want to recognize Sajida, who was always welcoming and kind. Unfortunately, that level of care did not feel consistent throughout the school. In my experience, the center director Ms Set was difficult to communicate with. There were times when I felt my concerns were not taken seriously, which left me feeling unheard. My daughter also shared that she sometimes felt certain staff members were overly harsh with her. I was also concerned by incidents involving children pushing or shoving one another, and I did not always feel those situations were addressed as thoroughly as I expected. The classrooms themselves were cared for by the teachers, who I often saw wiping tables and mopping floors. However, the overall building did not appear to be maintained to the same standard. During my visits, I noticed dust buildup around the air vents and felt the facility could benefit from more thorough routine cleaning and maintenance. Given how easily illnesses spread among young children, this was disappointing. Another concern was the frequent staff turnover. It seemed like there were constantly new faces, making it difficult to feel there was consistency in my child's care. At times, some classrooms also appeared to be led by very young staff members, which made me question the level of experience available. Finally, I attended the recent graduation ceremony and personally felt the Hollywood theme was NOT the best choice for an early childhood celebration. A bit inappropriate if you ask me. Overall, this center was not the right fit for our family. For the tuition being charged, I believe there are cleaner, more modern centers with stronger communication and greater consistency. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this daycare.

From day one, she made our child feel safe, seen, and excited to learn. Her knowledge of early childhood development is evident in everything she does -- whether she's supporting feeding routines, providing strategies for picky eaters, guiding toilet training with patience and consistency, or redirecting behavior in a way that is kind but clear. She meets children exactly where they are developmentally and responds with strategies that actually work. She is, without question, a fantastic asset to this daycare, and we are so grateful our sone has been in her care. We will miss her!

I am beyond thankful everyday for the love, the fun, the diverse learning experience and the peace of mind we have knowing our kids are in the best care possible. Lorrelie, Mr. J, Miss Jolina and the entire staff are just absolutely wonderful. They love and care about every child in their school and are constantly providing new fun ways to learn and engage. I am blown away when my toddlers come home and know not just their colors but their colors in English and spanish, or when they learn all about the food pyramid and healthy nutrition, or how to paint laying down like Michelangelo, or all of the fun things they learn through their "science experiments".... I could obviously go on and on. This school focuses on letting kids be kids and loving them for who they are. If you care about your child having a well rounded PreK experience that is family oriented, communicative, caring, trustworthy and truly cares about community this is hands down your best option in Lyndhurst...we tried other schools and looked at other options and I feel so blessed that this is where we ended up. I will never be able to thank Ms. Lore and Mr. J enough for what they have done for my kids. My son was developmentally behind when starting here two years ago and this staff has been so inclusive, understanding and his biggest cheerleaders in all the progress he has made. Because of this environment he will be heading to kindergarten next year light years beyond where we ever could've hoped and with the confidence to continue to thrive and develop in an neurotypical environment! If you are looking for a daycare you can trust .... run don't walk and meet the wonderful family at Play N Learn.

Upon entering the daycare at age 1 we saw him transforming into independed little person and it was fascinating to see how much knowledge he brought home each day at such young age. Any learning was incorporated into fun games or activities and some of the teachers we had should have gotten an award for going all out on transforming the classroom based on the theme fo the month. Baby #2 entered CA at age 4 months and I had absolutely no fear or hesitation trusting the staff with my child. Those ladies are on top of their game and they keep you informed with messages and photos throughout the day. Even infants have music and yoga classes! Side note director and the staff were extremely patient and supportive when my kid was going though prolonged potty training transition, delayed speech, etc. They also recognized and encouraged his positive qualities. Each child is different and unique and from my observation staff recognizes and utilizes different approaches. My son's class graduated from CA knowing all pre-K material (based on conversations with other parents) and all the learning was done though play, songs and fun. If a child gets upset the daycare is closed for the weekend or holiday, that pretty much tells you how they feel about going there :)
