Sadly, we have to move to a different area, We will miss AMS so much. Thank you, Ms. Lalita, Ms. Anu, Ms. Maria, and Ms. Amrita for what you do. I highly recommend AMS for early education.

The 1 star review is very frustrating to me. That is from a person who never even sent their child…read moreto this location. I have been sending my child to Goddard for 3 months now and I have no regrets. She is in the infant room and when I drop her off she is excited to see her teachers and when I pick her up she is happily playing. They follow my schedule and requests and they are always so sweet with my little baby. I do not feel anxiety leaving her with her teachers and everyone is welcoming. If you are genuinely looking for a place to send your child to grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually, then this Goddard location is your place! Although I think it's terrible that there was a miscommunication I do not think 1 star is fair. They also fill their slots on a first-come-first-serve basis. One thing to learn from the review is to double check their openings and meetings the day before you go because anyone could've filled the open spot.

We've been incredibly pleased with how smooth our transition to the school has been during the pandemic. The kids run in each morning & are genuinely excited about what they're learning. The growth we've seen in them both in only four months has been truly impressive. We'd give Goddard Hillsborough 10 STARS if we could!

Ellies Academy is a one of a kind childcare center with the MOST LOVING & CARING owners & staff! We have attended this center from the very beginning and the education the children receive is one you will not find anywhere else - it is TOP NOTCH!! The owners ( Miss Tirusha & Mr P) are the most AMAZING people you will ever encounter. They would give the shirts off their backs to anyone & treat all the children as if they were their own!! Ellies Academy fought day in & day out to make sure the center was open this ENTIRE pandemic! The owners went ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure the essential parents still attending school during the pandemic were taken care of. This is something no other center would have ever done!! Do to their AMAZING curriculum the children are fully prepared - most being 3 steps ahead for public school. This is definitely not something you find in most childcare centers (we came from a corporate center prior to Ellie's) Ellie's Academy has a very "homey" feel which we adore!! ONE big HAPPY FAMILY!! To see the hateful & disrespectful "reviews" being put out on every platform by a certain individual is DISGUSTING & BEYOND CHILDISH! I will tell you this person was VERY happy with the services of the school until being caught up in some UNTRUTHFUL - UNEDUCATED DRAMA!! So please IGNORE the IGNORANCE!! If you would like to hear from LOYAL - VALUED clients of Ellie's Academy please reach out to the school directly for contacts!!

Thank you to everyone for making an impact on our child!

He was there since he was at least 18 months old (if I remember correctly). He is 6 years old now and attending a private school in town. Our daughter and fortunately her cousins are also attending Greatstart. She has one more year before she joins her brother at the big school. Like most of you, we love our children so much that we search for the best place to help us navigate our children's growth, foundation and life as a family. We trusted Greatstart. The owners, director and teachers have become family to us. Fellow parents have become our friends too. Our son still have play dates with his friends from this school. We endorse this school because we believe that they put the children's safety, learning, and behavior as their priority while embracing the differences and challenges that life brings. To Greatstart Early Learning, THANK YOU for being a part of our education journey.

As a 1st time mom that has worked in education for over 25 years, I'm proud to announce our family…read morehas found a place to call our 2nd home-Lightbridge Academy Lawrenceville. "WoW" is the word Esme uses to describe her new school, I use "impressive" and Dad used "safe". From the moment we walked through the door, Miss Lauren gave us a warm and inviting feeling. You could tell that she goes above and beyond for her families. After meeting .it's Becca, we already felt like family. A wonderful, welcomed surprise was that the owners were on site during our tour. Their love for their kiddos radiates through their smiles and high fives. Every teacher we have met, has greeted us with a hello and a smile. Since starting Esme's vocabulary has doubled and she lives playing with all her new friends. This educational preschool is the choice when it comes to Esme's Circle of Care. I witness everyday her growth, physically and mentally. I recommend you schedule a tour today!

I feel compelled to address the misinformation and baseless accusations being spread about…read moreLightbridge Academy by Lauren P. and Patty P. These claims are entirely false, unfounded, and appear to be an attempt to deflect accountability and create unnecessary chaos. The allegations lack evidence and seem to reflect their personal shortcomings rather than any legitimate concerns about the facility. I want to highlight the extraordinary care, dedication, and professionalism demonstrated by the ownership, staff, and administration at Lightbridge Academy. These individuals consistently go above and beyond to ensure the safety, well-being, and development of every child. In our case, they collaborated with external experts, including my son's grandmother (a DCF supervisor) and a regional manager from Children's Specialized Hospital, to address the emotional challenges my son was experiencing. This collaborative effort underscores their commitment to the holistic care of children. Unfortunately, the only opposition to these efforts came from Lauren P. and Patty P., who were unwilling to cooperate for the betterment of my child. It is disingenuous for them to cast blame on an organization that showed such willingness to help, especially when they themselves refused to support a united approach. For instance, they've alleged that Lightbridge Academy violated state protocols by keeping my son in a room for two hours, yet they omit a critical detail: they specifically instructed the staff not to contact his father during an outburst--even though he was just eight minutes away. Lightbridge Academy was following their directive, so any blame for this situation rests with them, not the facility. It is both shocking and disappointing that these baseless accusations are being leveled against a daycare that has shown nothing but compassion and professionalism. We maintain thorough records and evidence to refute these claims. Lightbridge Academy did everything possible to navigate complex challenges, including instances of parental alienation, manipulation, and misinformation, all while prioritizing the best interests of my son. For three weeks, my son experienced emotional outbursts, often immediately following drop-offs by his mother. The staff consistently went out of their way to support him, employing strategies like emotional redirection, personalized activities, and special accommodations to help him adjust. This level of care has been a hallmark of Lightbridge Academy throughout my son's time there--from when he was just four months old until November 2024. As someone with insight into daycare standards (thanks to my mother's role with DCF), I can confidently say Lightbridge Academy is exemplary. It is deeply unfair to see this business--one that treats every child as if they were their own--be maligned for issues rooted in parenting challenges, not institutional failings. Again thank you to Amy Speiser, Esther Sander (gifted my son a Childrens bible), Lauren Nolan and the rest of the amazing Lightbridge Academy staff for all their love, support and amazing care for my chid and other children at the facility.

After a month and a half, we are still convinced that we had made the right decision. The curriculum for toddlers is great and the teachers provide the personal care that children need. We are amazed to see how Ms. Geetha cares for each and every child. We have our peace of mind knowing that our daughter is in good hands. TLE West Windsor is doing their best in this crisis situation. They strictly follow all the CDC guidelines and try to make it a safe place for everyone. I highly recommend TLE West Windsor to anyone who lives nearby and is looking for a preschool for their kids!

I was looking for this center of the learning exp for my toddlers as it had good reviews and was on…read moremy way to my work. We visited the center and were impressed by it for sure as it was neat , clean , big , digital screen, main street usa and all. But unfortunately the most important part of the whole experience - the toddler classroom teacher/caretaker was not so good. We first met her when she came to Directors office while we were there for our tour appointment and she was staring at our kids weirdly [ so much and so long ] that even the director Ms. Geetha had to ask her why is she staring like that. We ignored at that point , and then I scheduled a play date before I get my kids enrolled. During our tour [ we had taken our kids for it] we went to the toddler classroom. kids were still getting up from their nap. but I saw almost no interaction from her with them and there was another helper Bhoomi who was doing it all. during our play date, just before we enter the classroom with kids we saw she just picked up the box full of blocks [ I suspect that she got notified that we are coming to room] and just emptied it on floor [without even bending down]. Again there was just no conversation with any of the kids there what so ever.. not even come lets play, lets build blocks etc.. kids started playing on their own. then while we were there another parent came to pick up her kid and again there was no hello or any conversation initiated by her until the parent ask her about how did her child do today. and I was surprised to see her response on the question.. she just said that the toddler still takes off her shoe [nothing about what did she do through out the day] and that's it. on top of it, we still thought that let the kids play for some time and we waited outside to see how good they are feeling with the place. then we waited in the Directors office , where within 5 mins we heard and saw them crying on the tv installed in directors office. we still waited for another few mins before rushing to classroom, as we thought that teacher will make some attempt to calm the kids and literally there was hardly any and she immediately called us to come and get them. and she said that they were playing well [ which we were seeing the tv from office], an one put something in mouth, where she asked to take that out, and the kid started crying. then we just came out and in spite of all great things about the center we decided not to opt for the same atleast till my toddler goes to next class or at least the teacher is changed. We went to some other classrooms where elder kids were there and we found them and teacher enjoying and learning on the digital screen. I would definitely vote for this center apart from toddler class.

We've been part of the Apple Montessori East Windsor family since it first opened in August 2023,…read moreand I can honestly say it's been one of the best decisions we've made for our kids. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and supported, and it's been incredible to see how much our children have grown -- not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well. What stands out most about Apple Montessori is how they've maintained their quality even as more families joined. In so many places, you see things start to slip when enrollment increases, but not here. The care, attention, and individualized support have stayed consistent, and that speaks volumes about the team running the school. The Montessori approach has truly worked wonders for our kids. They've become more confident, independent, and curious about the world around them. The hands-on learning, the freedom to explore, and the thoughtful guidance from the teachers have made such a difference. I have to give special mention to the incredible people who make this place feel like home: * Ms. Pazos (Director): Her leadership and warmth create such a positive and welcoming atmosphere. She knows the kids by name and truly cares about every family. * Ms. Kate (Assistant Director): She's so organized and approachable. Anytime we had a question or needed something, she was there with a smile and a solution. * Ms. Shanthi (Our son's teacher): She has such a calm and patient way of connecting with the kids. Our son has thrived in her class, and you can tell how much she cares about each child's growth. * Ms. Shetty (Our daughter's teacher): The way she understands and nurtures each child's unique personality is amazing. Our daughter has blossomed under her care and has become more confident and social. * Ms. Mayles (Trainer): Her dedication to the Montessori method really shows through the teachers' work. You can tell she puts her heart into making sure the staff is prepared to give the kids the best experience possible. * Ms. Gucciardi (Regional Director): She's clearly committed to keeping Apple Montessori's standards high. The consistency and care across the school reflect her leadership. We feel so lucky to have found a place like this for our kids. Apple Montessori East Windsor isn't just a school -- it's a second home. If you're looking for a place where your child will be seen, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential, this is it.

We had some challenges and concerns when the center was sold a to a larger company, but the current center director is phenomenal and brings the whole center to the level of care, fun, and education that I have expected from them over the years. Several of the teachers have been there as long as we have (or longer!) and all of them are creative, caring, and make the center a wonderful experience that my daughter loves going to each day. They have begun clearing and creating nature trails behind the building which gives them more and more opportunities to incorporate nature into the daily experience. I highly recommend the Village Learning Center to anyone looking for a quality, comprehensive daycare and preschool for their children.
