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.

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. His poor sister even said he s not permitted to really have discussions with parents. That s his sister. Please do your research. This day care is expensive and offers nothing back. 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!

TLE Lyndhurst came highly recommended by a wonderful neighbor, but we were skeptical because of the reviews. We went for a tour and at first glanced the placed looked incredible. Ms. Debbie, one of the managers, gave us the tour. Aside from being super sweet, she was so thorough! She explained every in detailed and answered all our queries. The center was super clean, safe (main doors were closed at all times), all the children looked happy, all the classrooms had lots of age-appropriate toys and books, the staff seemed nice, and each classroom has a well-structured curriculum. The front area was decorated beautifully with the monthly theme, and lovely art projects made by students adorn the hallway and the classrooms. They have a cool room called the "Boulevard," which looks like an exhibit from a children's museum, where children can play make-believe, or watch a movie. They also have a playground in the back with slides and plenty of space for the little ones to run around. After the tour we felt really good about the place, and decided to give it a shot. First of all, we are super grateful with TLE Lyndhurst that they had the space to admit our little girl on such short notice. Secondly, we couldn't be happier with the directors/managers and staff. Their smiles and positive attitudes make all the difference! The entire staff at TLE welcomed our daughter with open arms, and have helped her blossom extraordinarily! When our little girl first started (she was 1), she was didn't know how to walk, and much less how to feed herself. It was a tough transition, and she did cry a lot, but Ms. Karen and Ms. Scarlett were super patient, loving and caring. We dropped in unannounced a few times, and called throughout the day, and every single time, they greeted us with a smile. Best of all, we found our daughter happy and engaged in the daily activities. Communication was really important to us, and we have really appreciated the daily letters that get sent home, detailing what our daughter has learned, what she ate, her mood that day, etc. They also put out a monthly calendar and newsletter with fun activities and celebrations. At 18 Months, our daughter was transitioned to another toddler room with Ms. Karina and Ms. Scarlett, which are hands down, the most warm, caring, kind and professional teachers at TLE. Our little girl has developed a love for art, she can feed herself, she loves to point at different things and call them by name, she loves being around other children, playing, dancing, and singing. I can go on and on about everything that she has learned, and it's all thanks to the wonderful teachers at TLE, that stimulate her in a safe and happy environment. My husband and I leave her everyday with peace of mind, knowing that she is being cared by professional compassionate individuals. It was the best decision we have made! Thank you TLE Lyndhurst!
