I am happy and I am sad at the same time because my son has to leave the school to go onto kindergarten. I Love and will miss this daycare. If you are looking for a daycare for your child, Then I want you to look no further. I want you to sign your child up to the Budd Lake Location. My son has attended. 2 daycare centers in Hackettstown neither one of them worked out until he came to the Little Learning Academy. In my experience, I have only had one teacher who I adored but in this school, I adore every teacher. It is rare that you come across a daycare where every teacher is trained and is uniquely skilled in their own way but together they are a perfect match for the children. They are highly equipped to deal with every behavior challenge as well as providing a safe and loving environment for the children. I can assure you your child is getting the best education and care. YOUR CHILD IS IN GOOD HANDS!!

He is thrilled to attend each day. He loves his teachers and his classmates. He comes home happy and with a daily craft or activity to share with us. His teachers, Mrs. Molter and Ms. Conte are amazing. Very responsive and they also share weekly pictures on a private Facebook page for just our class. Most of all, we know that our son is SAFE at school. They have handled the pandemic and protocols extremely well and we are appreciative. They even have valet drop off and temp checks! Their attention to detail allows our son to have social and educational interactions with his peers while also staying safe and healthy. Samantha and Ken W.

I was informed that they will no longer offer aftercare services. They do not heat up childrens meals and do not offer a program for meals to be purchased. They are a nationally accredited, non-profit daycare that is also working with the United Way. I was very surprised by the amount of tuition (on the pricey end for me with 2 kids) and I was overwhelmed with the amount of paper on the walls. Every where I looked there was some notice, poster, picture, craft, posting on the walls and I am not sure how anyone can find anything like that. The kids seemed happy and well tended to.

Everyone, especially Mrs. Sue (the owner) is loving, accommodating, patient and caring. My 3 children have been attending A2z for over a year and not only have they thrived, but they look forward to attending school every day, which is very important to us. They always talk about their teachers (Mr. William, Mrs.Vicky, Mrs. Gigi & Mrs.Virginia) at home and how much fun they've had at school. The facility is clean and their communication is excellent! If you're looking for a safe, fun and educational environment for your child, this is the place for you. I highly recommend A2Z!

They do not provide protection for your kid. I literally witnessed a big kid run over to my daughter when she was less than 2 and shoved her unto the ground. I stepped in and asked WTH is this? Young "teacher" stated "oh he has a pushing problem but we're working with him" She proceeded to tell him "name-removed, don't push... thank you" as she has her back to him and he is still standing there waiting for me to step out so he can do it again!!! This past week, not an hour after dropping her off, I'm called because she has TWO scratches on her cheek from her nose back past her eyes. I'm told the same "teacher" went to grab her when my daughter was under a table and scratched her face! I have tried to simulate this several times! its no possible unless you're used to handling toddlers by their face from behind!!! Both administrators could also not explain it to me when I ran back to pick her up! They stated "will will work with the teacher!" ???????? are you kidding me? no one's child is here to TRAIN YOUR TEACHERS! that is what they should already know!!! Needless to say I took her out this week!

It's not the sterile environment I saw in many other preschools. The kids all seem happy and content, that's a biggie. The owner, though I only met her once, was very caring, accommodating and capable. The teachers and assistants my little charge had were wonderful. Mrs R. especially. They thought the basics with love and a firm hand when needed. I particularly liked the gentle emphasis they put on respect and obedience. I also did not notice any favoritism on the part of any teachers, not an easy thing to do in this line of work. There were lots of extracurricular activities and field trips, holiday parties etc...where parent participating was encouraged, and indeed many of the parents got to know each other well. On the whole it really felt like an extended family. I wish I could have sent my kids here , 20 yrs ago, but I couldn't even get on the waiting list, they had no room! This place has been around a very long time, and always had a great reputation. I really feel it's the next best thing to home!
