When we moved to Montclair last August we were nervous about finding childcare. We did some…read moreresearch and discovered Elite Daycare. Ms. Jane is amazing. She's very responsive, honest, and instills confidence that our kid is being taken care of by someone who clearly knows how important even the little details are to parents and young kids. Our son transitioned up while there, so he was in two different rooms. First, Ms Betsy and Ms Sandra took care of him with all the other youngest kids. Next he went down the hall to Ms. Sue and Ms Sarah. Each caregiver was great. After the initial adjustment periods our son would run happily into "class" every morning. And when my wife had surgery and couldn't lift, Ms Jane would come out personally to carry our little guy in and out of the building (on site parking was great, by the way). Highly recommend!!!

I am shocked that FG has such a low rating on here and am hoping to shed some light into how…read morevaluable this place has been to me and my family. Future Generation is the cream of the crop when it comes to childcare. They do everything in their power to make sure children are healthy, happy, and safe. Future Generation has been the leading daycare in the area throughout the pandemic by ensuring the strictest guidelines are followed so that our kids are kept safe. As a first-time parent, this has been such a challenging time, but I know that my daughter is not just safe when she's at school, she is also supported and loved by an incredible staff. Future Generation hosts so many fun events for children each week, as well as twice a week local business lunches that you can opt-in to. FG also supplies wipes and diapers which is AMAZING and two less things to think about when you're packing your child's bag for school. I have only had incredible encounters with each staff member and I know that they are continuously improving and training so that they can keep up with state curriculum and requirements to best serve the young learners at the childcare center. I noticed a lot of reviews mention how the space is cramped for children, but we have not witnessed any problem with this - in fact, the space is perfectly suited to then keep such a small teacher-kid ratio and a better view on kids.

I love future generations... Ms Lisa & Lynette are always there for me and my family. I'm a single…read moremom and love that i can depend on this daycare for all my family's needs. I love the staff. They truly care about my child and enjoy what they do. Future Generations is one of the only schools in NJ still operating to be here for parents on the front line and essential workers of the covid-19 Epidemic. Future Generations are Hero's in my book !!!

A Wonderful Experience…read more I can't say enough wonderful things about working with Shanotte and her nanny agency! From the very beginning, Shanotte was incredibly supportive, professional, and truly went above and beyond for me. She made the entire placement process feel comfortable and seamless, and I always felt that she genuinely cared about finding the right fit for me. I'm so happy and grateful to have been placed with such a wonderful family. It has been such a positive experience, and I truly appreciate all of the time, effort, and care Shanotte put into making this opportunity possible. Thank you, Shanotte, for everything you've done for me. You are amazing at what you do, and I would absolutely recommend your agency to any nanny looking for a wonderful family and a supportive agency!

I can tell she genuinely cares about the family's needs and does her best to seek out the candidates that will be a great fit by doing her due diligence. I also appreciated that she is an advocate for us when it comes to finalizing contract terms to ensure both parties are happy. Lastly, I value that she is available at any time to answer our questions and goes above and beyond to check in on us to see if we are comfortable. I highly recommend the Nanny Smith!

We have been at the Goddard School of Montclair for 3 years, since our son was 8 months old, and…read morehave been so happy with our experience. It has been wonderful knowing that every day he is in a safe, nurturing environment where he feels supported, is encouraged to learn and explore, and has made some really special friendships along the way. Marianne and Alissa do such a great job creating a welcoming community for both the kids and their families. They are both incredibly approachable and responsive, and you can tell they genuinely know the kids and care about them as individuals. We always felt comfortable going to them with questions or concerns, and knew that they truly had our son's best interests in mind. The school has the structure and resources of a larger franchise, but still has the personal, family feel of a smaller, family-run school. The programming for the kids is also a real standout. They regularly bring in special visitors and experiences, which makes school exciting and gives the kids opportunities to experience things they may not otherwise get to do. We are only leaving because we are moving, and we wish we could bring the Goddard School of Montclair with us. We are so grateful for the wonderful experience our son has had there and for all of the people who have been part of his first few years.

My son attended Buzzing Bees in East Orange for the majority of the 2019 - 2020 school year.  Below…read moreare a list of pros and cons: Pros: I absolutely LOVED all of his teachers.  His first teacher was kind, supportive, understanding, and supported my son's transition to daycare from home-based care.  His second classroom was the same.  Both of his teachers were caring, understanding and sincere.  My son even developed lasting friendships with his peers! He learned so much in the time he spent there, prior to Covid-19 lockdown.  We will miss his teachers dearly! Cons: The administration at this site is in need of increased professionalism.  A lot of communication has gray areas and is done vaguely, leading to miscommunication, misunderstandings, and tense conversations with the owner.  We have since decided not to return to the center but the manager has decided to keep our deposit, despite our child not attending since the state-wide shut down or reopening.  We clearly spoke about removing him from the roster and that he would potentially have to be on a waitlist upon return because a spot WOULD NOT be held.  We were completely okay with that risk.  Unfortunately, she started singing another tune when we decided not to return and is in turn, holding the deposit hostage. I am extremely disheartened that this was our final moment and experience with the center.  His teachers were amazing educators and individuals.  If I recommended Buzzing Bees of East Orange, NJ to you, I would say please be prepared to communicate and stand up for yourself frequently because the manager will switch things up to her benefit and to make sure she keeps as much money as possible, in any situation- just or unjust. Ms. V- please feel free to respond - I welcome your response.

He s clueless and shouldn't be around children at all. He inherited the business and has no idea how to run it efficiently.

No fun activities, the outdoor equipment is old-you have to pay for lunch, etc. needless to say they will be going out of business if they continue on this path. Mark my words-I'll be back in a few months to see if they re still around.

PSA's devoted teachers supported my children throughout a rigorous academic program that included science, math, American Sign Language, social studies and fine arts. Having completed two years at PSA, my children will enter kindergarten this fall knowing they have accomplished developmentally appropriate but challenging tasks. In addition to ensuring that students achieve academic milestones, PSA teaches children to be worldly citizens and considerate members of the community. Their students are aware of a great big world behind their town but they appreciate the opportunities and worth within reach. Procedurally, PSA is an efficient business that effectively handles business matters. Its school policies are reasonable and we appreciated their efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of its students, teachers and staff. PSA and its community of students, parents, teachers and administrators will always be a part of our lives. When I cried at graduation (truth), they were tears of joy that my children were thriving and simply, growing up. But they were also tears of appreciation and gratitude for PSA. Our entire family is prepared for kindergarten and beyond!

When our baby was unexpectedly hospitalized, we reached out to Holly for help after the nanny she placed had only been with us for about a week. Instead of supporting us, she consistently took the nanny's side and made an already terrifying situation worse. She then refused to honor the "30-day free replacement" in her own contract, hiding behind technicalities while we were under extreme emotional and physical stress. We didn't have the capacity to argue -- our baby was in the hospital -- and she took advantage of that. No thanks to her, we still managed to keep the nanny for a short while.
