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.

My son likes to put on a show in the morning pretending he doesn't want to stay but this is his way to have his teacher come over and hug him and give him extra attention, he's " slick" because it works every time. He is happy when I pick him up and always has something exciting to tell me about his day. I know he is in good hands at My Special Spot

We work long hours so he's there all day (2nd kid in last one picked up), but he's very happy. The teachers are all very kind, the school is very clean, and there's lots of learning and stimulation. He hasn't been ill once (no fevers, ear aches, just the normal sniffles sometimes) which is more than I can say for any of my friends kids. This is because of the strict sanitary protocols there. They also have the best ratio of any daycare, and the teachers in his room are warm, happy, and patient women. All the teachers in general smile and seem to enjoy their jobs. I have absolutely no concerns when he is there, and he gets very excited when I am dropping him off. The school is very well run, and the owner Jeff is always there and knows all the kids and families well. There's a big outdoor play area and playgrounds, a gym area with a ballpit our son loves, a library with tons of books, and it's a nice modern building. They do lots of fun learning activities with the kids like hatching baby chicks, butterflies, zumba, yoga, and music classes. Also the price is the same as every other local daycare, but way more services. We checked them all out and are fully convinced we made the best choice with Special Spot.

My child had such an amazing experience, had such lovely humans love and care for her and received nothing less than great education during her time there. However, if you ever have an issue that you need to discuss beyond the center leadership team please let Maura Ryan be the last person you speak to. Unfortunately I had a tuition related matter to discuss in which the Center Director believed deserved to be escalated to her boss (Maura) and what a horrible experience that was. Before even meeting Maura had made on 2 separate occasions the same comment stating "I don't know what she expects to happen. I am going to help her" and unfortunately was not very mindful of her surroundings when making the comment. How sad and disappointing to hear that an individual who has never met you and knows nothing about you AND works for Bright Horizons FAMILY SOLUTIONS already had no intention of giving you a solution. Nonetheless, I gave her the benefit of the doubt , thanked her for meeting with me and explained the situation. Unfortunately, as expected Maura was of no help.Instead, she presented a very condescending attitude, smirked after every word/point I tried to make, constantly spoke over me and eventually told me that effective Monday (this conversation was yesterday, Thursday 01/23) my daughter would no longer be allowed in the center if tuition was not paid in full KNOWING that the meeting was about the error that someone on her team made with my tuition. I understand business is business and that just like all of us who have our children in child care, she has a job to follow. Making me waste my time meeting with her knowing she was not going to do anything to help me (keeping in mind she had already said this) , smirking and giggling when it was very evident that I was extremely upset about the situation , dismissing everything I had to say and taking 0 accountability as to how this has been going on for 3 months and she has once again done NOTHING to even try to help me hence why this is the first time I spoke to this individual in the 3 months this has been occurring is absolutely not part of the job she is expected to follow. I will never tell you to not bring your children here instead I would encourage it because again, the center, the staff, the love and care is amazing and truly what made me so sad to have to wake my child up from her nap to take her away from the place that she was so happy and thriving in all because Maura instead of saying "let's come up with a solution" or "let me try to see what I can do to help you" told me my child could not be at the center. However, I will say if you ever have an issue that for whatever reason cannot be solved through the center leadership team, let Maura be the last person you speak to. My experience with Bright Horizons has always been exceptional but it really upset me to see that someone like this represents a company that is so faithful to finding solutions for families.

The staff is very caring, they always try to go the extra mile for the kids and the parents. They had our back during many snow storms, a pandemic, when our town flooded...

I remember how challenging it felt as a first-time parent to choose a daycare for our daughter,…read moreespecially since she was starting at just four months old. My husband and I are so grateful we chose Totri - it has been a wonderful experience for our family. From the very beginning, it was clear that our daughter is loved, cared for, challenged, and engaged in learning every single day. The teachers in the infant room are endlessly creative, patient, thoughtful, and attentive. Because Totri is smaller than many other local daycares, it truly feels like a family. The staff goes out of their way to host special events for the whole community - from trunk-or-treat and spirit weeks to egg hunts - they do it all. Even in the infant room, the teachers take time to craft thoughtful, developmentally appropriate lessons and experiences. I was amazed at how quickly my daughter picked up sign language, her colors, and her numbers. As a Spanish-speaking daycare, Totri has also given her the incredible gift of learning to communicate in both English and Spanish. On top of all this, Totri makes life easier for parents. Their hours are longer than many other centers, they are rarely closed, illnesses seem to be minimized, and the cost is among the most reasonable in the area. The director, Ms. Mayra, is fantastic and very responsive to parents. Totri is truly a hidden gem. If you're a family who values a small, loving community, this is absolutely a place to consider.

Within a few days of our son's first day at Kiddie City, all of our worries subsided. Every morning our son is so excited as soon as we enter the front door and he cannot wait to be handed off to the teachers. Kiddie City utilizes an interactive mobile app to keep parents constantly updated throughout the day on naps, feedings, diapers, etc... Additionally, they frequently post pictures of the children playing and I've never seen our son without a huge smile on his face. The teachers are quick to respond to any questions or concerns, and they make sure to keep the parents informed to ease any concerns. Knowing how happy our son is at Kiddie City is so reassuring that we made the right choice in daycares and we cannot recommend them enough.

They have a high turnover in staff which causes an issue for the state required student:teacher ratio. They often have "floaters" that go room to room but are still not meeting the state required minimum.

Teachers and manager have lack on knowledge on education or how to handle common issues in babies, they rather implement unrealistic "programs" setting them for failure and kick them out. The teachers don't promote creativity, don't read books on a regular basis, don't do activities (they started to do it only by parent's request for a few weeks, and went back to just sitting there without even interacting with babies). Teachers were caught on their cellphones numerous times, even though there are cameras. They only cover the basics: feeding, and changing diapers. Kids get hurt and injured because teachers are unable to manage toddlers.. Not the owner or the manager have any degree in education.

The facility itself is adorable and thoughtfully designed to create a safe, engaging, and stimulating environment. My child is always excited to go to daycare and comes home with the biggest smile, eager to share all the fun activities and new things they've learned. The curriculum is well-rounded, incorporating a perfect balance of educational activities, creative play, and physical exercise. Communication with parents is top-notch. We receive regular updates, photos, and detailed reports on our child's progress, which gives us peace of mind and keeps us connected to their daily experiences. The staff is always approachable and responsive to any questions or concerns we might have. What truly sets LDDS apart is the genuine sense of community they foster. They organize wonderful events and activities that bring families together, creating a supportive network that extends beyond the daycare walls. In summary, this place is a gem in our town. They provide exceptional care, a nurturing environment, and a strong foundation for our child's growth and development. We are incredibly grateful to have found such a fantastic daycare and highly recommend it to any parent looking for the best care for their little ones! Miss Amanda has been such a big impact in our lives. My family has never been happier.
