Every teacher knows every child by name, regardless of age or class, which creates a deeply comforting, close‑knit environment. We toured about seven different daycares when our daughter was a newborn, and this one immediately stood out as the most genuine, cozy, and nurturing. We started when she was five months old and instantly felt welcomed and confident that she was receiving exceptional care - esp Ms Sue, Babusya, Ms Lucy, Ms. Lori, etc!!! The teachers are incredibly attentive and truly invested in the kids. Their communication with parents is excellent -- we always feel informed, supported, and part of our daughter's day-to-day experience. The Procare app is used and extremely accurate with pictures as well! On top of all of that, the price is by far the most reasonable we found, especially considering the level of care and personal attention the children receive. Our daughter is thriving here, and we couldn't be more grateful for the wonderful community they've built. Highly recommend!

I'm so glad I found LTA! The teachers and Lori are the sweetest. I don't have to worry about my…read moredaughter while I work, which has been a huge relief. They treat her as if she was their own and I am so grateful for them.

We send our 2 children to Harmony since Jan 2020. Our 1st started in the baby room at 9 months,…read moreand our 2nd since 4 months. The decision to where to send is a daunting, emotional one, and we looked all over Hoboken, Jersey City, until we found Harmony. We have had a 1st rate experience at Harmony from both the staff and administrators. They are kind, loving, individuals - fiercely dedicated to the health and well-being of all the children. During the COVID pandemic - we felt informed & heard, always confident decisions were made with the best intentions of the children & staff. We love our Harmony experience, and we do not take our recommendation lightly.

He has been enrolled since he was 8 weeks old and is now 18 months. He is doing very well in sign language, he is learning new verbal words every day, he is very social, and he is already showing signs that he may be ready for potty training and I can't take credit for any of it. Harmony really does the ground work for everything and all I have to do is reinforce it at home. The communication between parent and teacher is great. I wish they would bring back their kindergarten program.

Jill, Gabby, all the teachers and staff are amazing people running the facility. So friendly and flexible, understanding the needs of the kids and the parents. The location is excellent for NYC commuters, as the 166X bus stop is couple minutes walk away. They are also very generous allowing parents to park their cars in the parking lot for the whole day. The TLE app is a convenient way of staying up to date with daily activities, updates, billing and communication from teacher. Photos of kids daily activities are posted every on the app. TLE has great curriculum to teach kids letters, numbers, colors, shapes, vocabulary. Our daughter was so much ahead and academically prepared for K, thanks to TLE. For different age groups they also have special events like field trips for Pre K and K students, water activities during summer. I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for daycare facility.

My son was enrolled at TLE in Ramsey from when he was 4 months old until this summer when he was…read morealmost 3. The only reason we stopped going is because my travel schedule picked up at work so a full time nanny made more sense. I credit TLE for helping my son develop and learn as quickly as he did. During our initial tour, we were told they taught the kids sign language. I was skeptical, but was proven wrong when at 6 months he was signing "more" and "eat" to communicate his needs. I will also be forever grateful for Miss Pam, the teacher in the infant room that helped me get the hang of being a first time working mom. I remember seeing my son roll for the first time and was so excited about it. When I asked Miss Pam how long he'd been doing it, she told me "the first time he does it is when you see it." They do a great job of arranging fun events for the kids; coming up with all sorts of themes and art projects to keep them engaged. They even have an annual petting zoo and water games in the summer. My son loved it there and still remembers all his teachers that took great care of him and his friends that he grew up with. We definitely miss it there and I highly recommend TLE to anyone that is considering them for childcare. The curriculum and environment are top notch and the teachers and the administrative staff truly care not just about the children but for the parents as well.

wish I didn't have to even give a 1 star rating to this place. I have been to a few daycares over…read morethe years and this is by far the WORST AND FILTHIEST! I originally was going to TLE in Waldwick (which is wonderful by the way) but decided to transfer to Ramsey since it was closer to my new home. This daycare was much older looking than the one in Waldwick but I assumed it was clean and my son was being cared for which is all that really mattered to me. Well from day 1 my son came home filthy, white socks were BLACK, food stuck to his clothes, hair and face everyday. I let it go for a week because I didn't want to seem "annoying" which I had every right to be but I figured I'd let it slide temporarily. Until week 2 when he came home with full blown pink eye! Green junk flowing out of his eyes when I picked him up and no one mentioned a thing to me! When I mentioned it, no one had noticed anything wrong with him apparently. My son has had pink eye before but never to this extreme, to the point that his eyes were almost sealed shut and it lasted over 2 weeks. I asked the teacher why I was not called and she said she did tell Tara, one of the directors but apparently she FORGOT to call me. So all day long apparently no one realized that a 10 month old with visible pink eye was still in the class and no parent had yet to pick him up? Absolutely unacceptable. I received no apology or acknowledgement from Tara for neglecting to call me. I waited about another week to see if there was any improvement of cleanliness but every single day my son came home looking like he was rolling around in dirt. I pulled him out within 3 weeks of attending this daycare. I complained to Neelam, the other director - she was very understanding and apologized for the negligence. After complaining, I was refunded one week of tuition. Truthfully, I should've fought for the entire month of reimbursement but I just wanted to cut ties immediately. Flash forward about 6 weeks, I finally get a reimbursement check after following up 3 times. I show up at the daycare to pick of the check that was handed to me by Tara, yet again no acknowledgement or apology for my horrible experience. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND!!! If you love and care for your children's well-being, please please please do your research before committing to this daycare. It was by no means cheap but you could never expect to find this in a Ramsey, NJ daycare.

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.

TLDR: Smile is absolutely amazing, and if you have the chance to enroll your child - do it…read more Our son attended Smile Nursey from the time he was 5 months old in Jan. 2022 up until last month when we moved out of JC. Ms. Debbi, Ms. Michelle, Ms. Christina, and Ms. Leanna (and the rest of the staff/teachers) are wonderful. Our son loved going to school every day, and he always - without fail- had a huge smile on his face when we picked him up at the end of the day. It was so clear that he was loved, nurtured, and encouraged when he was there. Ms. Debbi and her team were very responsive, and used the Brightwheel app to community with us and document his day (naps, meals, activities, pictures). They also got to know our son very quickly - his likes, dislikes; his temperament and nature; what food he likes the best; and how to get the best nap out of him (to name a few). There was never any hesitation or concern about the care he received. His teachers loved him as if he was their own. Aside from the amazingness of the school, Ms. Sheri (the owner) is a pillar of the community and is involved in so many events, as well as Whole Spectrum Austim. Legit - the caring nature trickles down from the top. In sum, Smile is a hidden gem in JC and we were so fortunate that our son was in their care!

Everyone I know also speaks so highly of this location from the clean facilities to the staff. I miss my child during the day but the TLE app keeps me updated and sends pictures.

TLE is a great fit for some, but the 20 kids toddler (16 month old) classroom size & 4 teachers,…read morewas too overwhelming for our daughter, who stopped eating and drinking altogether. So we had to un-enroll her. Also had an experience where there were only 2 kids in the class around 7:45am, and 2 teachers. One teacher was holding a crying toddler, yet the other teacher neglected to comfort our daughter who was screaming at her feet, while she continued to talk to the other teacher. She only interacted with her when she saw me looking at her from the side window. This was day 3 of my daughter being enrolled there. Which completely broke my heart seeing this as a first time day-care mom. I spoke to the director and requested a specific teacher be assigned to my daughter because I noticed she was the most nurturing from what I'd seen, but was told they could not honor my request and assign a specific teacher cause they don't take requests. A few kids had yellow snot running down their noses which also resulted in my daughter having a terrible flu for 2 weeks. Stopping in a couple times during the day we also noticed that her bottle and food was placed on the table and left, and if they dropped or she didn't eat, there'd be little attempt to ensure she has something in her tummy. So she was always extremely hungry and cranky when we picked her up and drank 2 bottles on the drive home from roseland to Montclair. Our experience was not the greatest, but yours may be different. Eventually, her stopping eating and drinking after a week of being there forced us to remove her & we appreciate miss Tessa understanding and issuing us a partial refund.

The back-end administration of ABC might not be the smoothest or most modern, but they are good at what is truly most important.

Since we started, communication has been great and the teachers are very involved in reaching milestones and creating a stimulating environment for the kids. Our son always smiles when he sees the teachers and is just the happiest little guy which ABC is definitely to be thankful for. I'm hoping other people can see through the potential 'weird' first impression vibes because they absolutely deserve to get credit for all they do!

As soon we could pull him and transfer him to another daycare, we did - and he had but one week left at ABC. I'm sad to say that the level of care provided since we annouced our departure during that week has deteriorated even further. He came home dirty, with other kids' clothes, and just now we had received an awful photo showing a substantial bruise on his head. We picked him up right away and we'll never be going back. Avoid this place if you can, as they are unprofessional, with sub-par standards, do not adhere to their own policies - and I would generally say that in my view they only care about (i) the money, and (ii) putting up a reasonable appearance to get you through the door. Avoid at all costs.
