Not a real Montessori school - do research and see all the corruption and issues at other schools…read morerun by this 'family' corporation. Delusional practices that want kids reading and doing math by 3 years old -- again, not a real Montessori. My child experienced harsh teachers and policies such as half day kids forced to stand around and watch the full day kids eat lunch. Even when I said I would pay for the extra 15 minute overlap so my kid could eat lunch, they said no. I ended up picking him up early so he didn't have to be subjected to that. And ultimately quit the school.

Parents beware! I've…read morehad both of my children in this school for over a year. I am writing today to share my experience so that others can learn from what I have seen. This school is not a professional environment because of their lack of communication with parents. They do not give honest assessments of children's abilities, and are too wrapped up in promoting Montessori instead of looking out for the best interest of the child. This environment is not conducive to the child who needs extra reinforcement. They are too focused on the Montessori philosophy to identify into the learning style, and abilities of individual students. After transferring my child to public school I was met with the reality that my child was not prepared academically. This came as a huge surprise because after confronting the teacher and principal about my childs readiness. I was assured that my child was prepared. What an absolute let down, and pathetic disappointment that this school did not live up to its academic integrity. And please do not waste your time on the "fast track" education that this school offers, as it is nothing more than a business ploy. The administration should seriously re-evaluate their responsibility to the community and our children. They have become more of a business instead of being a responsible institution.

My daughter has been attending the Learning Experience in Wayne since she was 5 months old. As…read morefirst time parents, my husband and I have been incredibly happy and grateful to all of the staff. From the day we started I have never felt more confident in our child's safety, education, and well-being. From the moment you walk into the door every staff member greets us and knows my daughter's name and what to say if she is having a rough morning. Ms. Mayte and Ms. Alexis are always at the front desk with a smile and are always able to answer any questions or concerns. The director, Ms. Ariel is one of the first people to reach out if my daughter needs anything throughout the day as well as to help my daughter with anything she needs. She is also very open with communication which i find to be a huge comfort. Her teachers have been incredible from the infant class with Ms. Gigi, loving her as well as supporting and helping me through the early stages and milestones of her first months. Her favorite teacher; Ms. Chantel who has become her support person (as well as mine) has been there for her from learning to roll, taking her first steps, learning to speak, and so much more. She goes above and beyond to make sure she is feeling loved and safe throughout her day. As an educator myself, I am impressed with the curriculum and all of her teachers as she has progressed through the program. They have not only supported her, but have guided her through her milestones as well as educated her. Ms. Frida, Ms. Jacky, Ms. Maylee, Ms. Anna, Ms. Z, Ms. Zeba, Ms. Aimee, Ms. Isabella, Ms. Noelle, and countless others are incredible educators. I couldn't be more grateful for all they have done and continue to do for my daughter.

If a parent/sibling/aunt/uncle/grandmother& grandfather or a friend leaves a concern about a facility that isn't treating any child with special needs right, THEY HAVE A RIGHT to leave and & express the concern about the facility. For you to write a comment a day ago should be illegal. You should be ashamed of yourself and also the OWNERS for allowing you to do what you did. I do want to be complete honest, Nicole is the rudest director ever. This facility is a dump and they fake the funk all the way with the parents. Smile & then talk behind their backs in reference about their children. If I was you, I would be cautious about putting my kids into this daycare or wherever Nicole is. ;)

Since the preschool is in a Temple, there is ample space to move about during the day. Children get to runaround indoors in a multi-purpose room (trikes, sports, yoga, etc) and they built a brand new beautiful playground last year (that can even be shaded from sun!). Oh...and there is a cooking class! Aside from the fantastic facility, the administration and staff are unmatchable. They truly love your child like their own. You are always greeted warmly in the morning. Teachers will get down on the child's level, make eye contact with each kid at drop off, and your children will always feel seen and heard. I never question if my children are safe and loved. Beautiful friendships are cultivated amongst children and families. There is ample opportunity to get involved in the community during school events and with weekend activities for working parents. The only downside about Soresh is that your child cannot stay forever!

This is not just a daycare. Their pre-K program is excellent. If anything, they did TOO good of a job in educating because my oldest child is now in kindergarten and is bored by the lack of challenges in public school. I got a new job which unfortunately moved me 12 miles away from Busy Bee. We love the school so much that I sucked it up for a full year and made two 24 mile round trips per day so my daughter could graduate there. We tried one of the large well known chains and there's no comparison. Busy Bee's small, family owned school made me feel like I was dropping my kids off with family.

My daughter attended this daycare for 4 days (Clifton location). This daycare is very unorganized,…read morethe caregivers are not professional and don't seem to be experienced, some don't seem to love kids or just persons that you can trust with your kids specially with infants. They make you fill out so many forms about your babies schedule and instructions to just do whatever they want, feed them when they want as well as changing their diapers. They would put products on my baby's skin without my authorization. If you call during the day to see how your child is doing, they would get annoyed and give you attitude. All they want is money, don't let them trick you with the security systems and nice daycare, they do not care about the kids. All of the staff look unhappy and not wanting to do their jobs. I DO NOT recommend this daycare to NO one. Don't trust them specially with vulnerable infants. My experience was awful, I gave them time to put their shit together and spoke to everyone, even the director, to avoid writing this review and having to switch daycare. I think I trusted this facility way too much and had very high expectations, this is why now I'm so disappointed. My baby's first day when I picked up my 3mon old baby her pants were all wet of pee, my daughter was left alone in a corner awake in a swing far away from the other kids and unattended by the teachers, when I grabbed her she was freezing, the air conditioner was too low so when I carried her she was shaking, she was only given 2 bottles of milk during the full 8 hours that she was there (my baby eats a lot) I told them her eat schedule and wrote everything down on a form they provided, she usually eats every 2 hours and even before. When I saw her pants wet and felt how cold she was I asked the teacher (Jayda/Jayra whatever her name is) her answer was "well I just changed her diaper!" (with a nasty attitude) I replied by showing her my baby's pants so she can notice the wetness on it (she never made eye contact) she proceed with grabbing a tablet and slamming it in front of me to show the times she was supposedly changed but that doesn't really means she was changed on time cuz she can document what ever she wants on there and not necessarily be done. I was so irritated that I did not react any other way then just grab my baby and leave the center with my eyes full of tears. After I got home I called and spoke to the manager (Ashley I believe is her name) the director (Kimberly) was also aware, supposedly everything was gonna change but I was already concerned about my daughters safety and treatment. The next day that teacher (Jayda/Jayra) wasn't in my baby's classroom but the teachers there were still not following my baby's schedule, they were not giving the baby her bottles on time, they would always put the excuse that baby was sleeping. I also took my baby some sleepers so she can stay warm in her classroom since it was so cold in there but they would take it off and lose her socks.The third day when I went to drop her off, I went in the classroom and I waited almost 10 min for the teacher to go inside the classroom to take my baby so I can rush to work but she was too busy gossiping with another teacher in another classroom. Every time I use to go drop her off or picked her up, there was a different teacher which didn't know anything about the instructions I had gave to the previous teacher, their communication skills were horrible. This is not a place to trust, it's full of unprofessional and poorly trained staff that are only there for a paycheck and not necessarily because they like kids.

Once she is crawling I think this is a really worthwhile activity, especially for an indoor activity idea when it's cold out. The space has lots of great activities like slides, climbing walls, rocking toys and tunnels. A single session is $30 and you get 45 minutes of play time. I like that you don't need to commit to a package and can simply buy classes a la carte. The instructor was energetic and enthusiastic. The class ended with the signature gymboree parachute which was fun. You also take a few minutes during class to introduce yourself to the other families. The instructor warned us that it can be sensory overload if it's your child's first time and she was completely right! Our normally 'chill' child wasn't her usual self for the first part of class and was definitely a bit fussy and scared. Every kid is of course different, but worth noting that it's a lot of stimulation during a first time visit! Overall it's a fun play space and I'll certainly plan some future visits when my girl is a little more mobile.

This review is for the Gymboree in Pine Brook, NJ…read more My 10-month-old doesn't go to daycare, so finding a place where he can socialize, explore, and develop new skills has been really important to us. Gymboree in Pine Brook has been absolutely perfect. It's become a regular part of our routine, and it's made such a big difference in his movement and confidence. He gets so excited the moment we walk through the doors. It's truly his happy place. The instructors here are what make it so special. We've worked with every one of them, and they are all amazing in their own way. Ms. Geri: She has had such a big impact on my son's movement. She's incredibly thoughtful, caring, and observant, and she really takes the time to get to know each child and respect their autonomy. She's given us so many helpful tips and ideas to support his physical development, and I really believe her guidance has helped him get closer to walking and become more confident with movement in general. Ms Geri is so experienced with children and has given me much insight to my son and his ability to explore and learn about the world at his own pace. Also, as a side note, one day I desperately needed coffee (it was a loooong day) and Geri called a nearby business for me to see if they were open and sold coffee!!! It sounds small, but it's rare to find people who go out of their way like that for you. She genuinely cares and it shows. Ms. Kathleen: She has SUCH a beautiful voice!!! Even if you go for just one class, try to go to hers so that you and your little one can listen to her lovely singing. It instantly draws my son in, even though he usually takes a little while to warm up to new people. She's super engaging and fun, and somehow got him to start drumming along with us for the first time ever at his last class! It was such a sweet moment that I wasn't expecting. She has a really special way with children. Ms. Morgan: She was the first teacher we had at Gymboree, and after just one class with her, we signed up for the unlimited pass. That's how good she is! She brings so much energy and creativity to her lessons, and she keeps the kids excited and involved the whole time. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she made us feel right at home right away. I think that is all the instructors, but if not, then these are the ones that we have attended classes with. I honestly can't recommend this Gymboree location enough. If you're considering it, just try a class. you'll see right away how wonderful the staff is and how much your little one will get out of it. It's been such a great experience for our family. Thank you everyone who works at this location. We are so lucky to have found you!

Our experience was everything we hoped for and our son absolutely thrived in the full day (8:45am-3pm) program, with parabolic language and social development.

Beyond that I've seen a positive impact on in my daughters manners, vocabulary, interaction with other kids, etc. I see little mannerisms she has picked up from her teacher that are really sweet, kind and empathetic.
