We send our 2 children to Harmony since Jan 2020. Our 1st started in the baby room at 9 months, and 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. read more

This is the best investment I have made for my son and his future. I am blown away by the new things he is learning everyday. 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. read more

I really do think people need to be aware of this organization, especially the management / administration, don't let the appearance fool you. I never got my $700 back and I didn't even finish registering my child there, let alone attending their school. I didn't trust sending my child there from the way their management deceived the parent. When they need your money, they will act as sweet as candy, but when you need to reach their manager for something, forget about getting access to her or even getting a response from her. They really should not call themselves a "non-profit organization", what a joke!! read more

The best school in town. My son started in this school as a tiny tot and now he is in toddler. I feel very happy how he enjoys the day, plays with his friends, and shares with us the stories about how he spent his day with his teacher and friends. They have a very structured academic course along with arts/crafts, playground time and so much more activities. The teachers are very positive, have a lot of experience and take good care of kids. My son's current class teacher Ms Flor is the best. She is just awesome. Invests time in kids, my son has started trying new food items, he was a picky eater before and is also potty trained. She encouraged us and my son so much. I feel very happy. This school is one of the best! I love everything about it. Sending my son to this school was one of the best decision I made. Thanks so much guys for everything. read more

My daughter went to Harmony for 8 months and started when she was close to 3 years old. One of the primary reasons why we liked Harmony was due to the fact that near Jersey City area you will not find a big playground for kids to play during the day. Their playground is beautiful with slides and partitioning for kids that are old enough and some for toddlers and babies too. The teachers are very kind and caring and take care of each child very well. My daughter needed a lot of attention and they made sure she got that. They had the best practices in place during the peak COVID phase so I was least worried about my daughter getting infected in anyway whereas I know a lot of learning centers around Secaucus that shut down multiple times in the past year. Lastly my daughter learned a lot. She was not social enough but after being at Harmony she stopped being shy and started interacting more with people around her. They have a great curriculum and provide daily reports to you without fail. My daughter really enjoyed her time when she was in Harmony. Five stars to the wonderful staff, management and curriculum!! read more

Have both my four year old & one year old in the school. We love it so far! They give you daily sheets on your chid's day. Cleanest child care center I have EVER seen! read more

I really feel I have to share my experience and my review about this school. I will just tell the facts as simple and real as they were and I hope this will help you parent and school to do something about it. February 26th, 2016 I had the bad experience to see through the window of a toddler classroom, a very inappropriate , intimidating and even aggressive attitude of one of the assistants towards two of the children. My blood just started to boil as I watched just for a little time until I went in and told her to stop treating them like that, that I have been watching her just enough to interrupt and to intercede and that I was going to report her. I did, told the director, she told me she was going to take care of it and will watch the videos. I left with a terrible feeling, as my son had told me for about 3 months by that time that he did not liked school and also had a regression on potty training. After this, all my excuses about him just being overprotected or having language difficulties or just thinking all children say they do not like school stopped, and my bells ringed loud. When picking him up that same day I asked the director what would proceed, if the mother would be notified, if this person was still going to work there.... and the answer to it was " It took my whole day, I have done what is needed and I can not discuss with you any more of it for private school protocol. The child is fine and please just trust us that this is not the way we do things here." If that had been my child of course I would have wanted to know. What happened? How long has this been going on? More videos should have been seen and to my sense of rightness and common sense this person should NOT work with children anymore. The school told me I could stay around as long as I wanted, that I could come several times a day to check on my boy and that that´s why they have cameras. This gave me a little peace. But then the regression on potty training was maybe not only a tantrum. I asked if I could watch a regular day of any day of my son ´s classroom. The answer was no, that I would be interceding with the other children´s privacy but that they have open doors policy. To clarify, this incident did not happened in my boy´s classroom. I started to stay for circle time, I did went pick him up some days earlier, but still I was not convinced. The teachers in his classroom were nice, of course I do not want to discredit the good work of some teachers an assistants, but to be honest, I never felt the real commitment to reach the individual development of each, the passion for teaching, they were following the program but did not make it the best experience that I was looking for to engage my boy to like school. Maybe it was too much work for just one head teacher, they were going on for a lot of rotation and you could say they were tired or overwhelmed. The very last time I tried, I thought it was time to stop complaining and to do something about it, I volunteered to do something, it wasn´t approved, which I understood, they told me I could do some other things, but anyway I was never completely satisfied with my son´s improvement and behavior. It is important to say that my son has attended school since he was 1 year old,and was always happy about it. They told me I might think on withdrawing, that not all schools are for every children, I told them that was a good idea, that I did not liked the way they handled the situation where there was a mistreated child, to be true I do not have a perfect english, I did not know if this was the right word, but is not far when someone shakes you by the shoulders or makes you sit by doing an intimidating motion, specially when it is and adult against a toddler who can´t speak yet very well for himself. For their bad luck there was a prospect parent, so they told me that I should not wait any longer to withdraw if I felt my son was in danger, gave me back my deposit, my last week I had payed and get rid of any bad publicity and an annoying mom. It is such a pity. They have great material, a great program, nice activities, very nice building, they have a good administration and are very well organized. But sadly to my experience they are right, this is not what I want for my son. read more

I enrolled my son a year ago and I couldn't be happier with the professionalism of the staff and the cleanliness of their classrooms. I definitely recommend sending your child here! read more

I am going to write this as is happening. Teachers and assistant are great the problem is Administration. I usually don't write reviews but I am really upset at this. Yesterday I walked in to notify the school that my son would not longer attend the school next month, I am following the contract and giving them 30 days of notification so I can get my 2 weeks security. It turned out that my son have to stay an extra week (which I will be charged and deducted 1 week from my 2 week security) because Harmony closes the last week (for Classes, however administration still working) of August to prepare a new curriculum for the next year and therefore I am not being bill for that week, which it also turned out that THAT WEEK DOES NOT COUNT AS PART OF THE 30 DAYS notice because as they said "I am not paying for that week". The person over the phone started to get "technical" about the 30 days which I responded that what she is doing is trying to interpret the CONTRACT which clearly states 1 month of notice as opposed of 1 paid month (4 weeks) or 30 business days . Nevertheless the contract that you will sign is a JOKE as they won't follow what they write and they will try to interpret it on their own way for their benefit. All I wanted to do is follow their rules and get my kid out without causing any major disruption on their schedule or my own schedule, at the end of the day they always claim that their waiting list is long and your kid will be quickly replace so they are not losing anything. It is sad as I didn't want to take my kid out of this school but since I switched jobs it is getting hard to pick him up on time, I was even thinking hiring someone to pick him up from school but after this experience I would avoid this place read more

The director of this school lacks professionalism, is least accommodating and very rigid in her behavior. She never follows up with inquiry and will shift blame to the parents. Her policy of charging parents late fees for every minute is preposterous. The administration is defensive, inflexible, not trustworthy and blatantly rude. All the teachers are excellent and they truly care for all the children. The director of the school comes down hard on teachers for doing the right things. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Harmony and it has been an absolute pleasure to have my daughters attend there and know that they are in a safe and nurturing environment. The teachers are amazing, friendly and are wonderful people who work very hard. You can see how much the kids love them! They deserve so much credit for what they do. My daughter graduated last year after 5 years at Harmony. She had been there since she was 12 weeks old and she misses her teachers so much!! She learned so much in her time at Harmony, so much in fact that she was more than prepared for Kindergarten. I also have a 15 month old who is now in the infant room for a second year as her birthday misses the cut off. She is so happy there and absolutely loves going to see her teachers every day. She already does sign language, which is impressive and continues to learn new skills every day. It's so nice to know she is being loved and cared for while I am at work. The curriculum at Harmony is amazing. It is highly focused on education which is evident when your kids come home with a new song every week, speaking Spanish, sign language, writing and math skills to name but a few. I know from friends who had to leave there due to relocation that they had difficult time finding somewhere that was even remotely similar. A lot of places just let kids play all day with no curriculum. The tuition is very competitive if not lower than a lot of places. They are also on top of things when it comes to government standards which is highly important. It's safety and cleanliness is above standards. Not everyone is going to like or agree with everything in all circumstances but at the end of the day the focus and concern at Harmony is for the kids, their safety and education. I couldn't recommend it highly enough and I am very thankful for all they do. read more

They are nice and patient, but only when baby is quiet and play themselves. Some of them are very nice and patient, but some of them have no patient when baby is crying, they just put baby on the chair and let them alone, and it repeated 3 times on that day when I see outside. I was so angry about that. read more

This is the best Daycare in Secaucus. I actually think, is the best in all Northern Jersey. My child spent 4 years in this daycare and we had very positive experience. Teacher are caring and really concern about kids's development. Very rich educational program, many activities (sign language, computers, phonetics, wet room and many more), great holiday celebrations with invited characters and other guests throughout the year. They spent all their profit on this school and it's easy to see- always new toys, books, playground and educational materials. read more

We have mixed feelings on this facility. In our experience, the teachers were excellent and they seemed to care for our child. However, if you are the type of parent that like to check on your child and question some of the procedures and processes, you will find that the administration is defensive, inflexible (even if your child has a medical condition),  not trustworthy and blatantly rude. In some occasions, management would even mock at us and dismiss our comments. They were always right and us the parents were wrong. I'd say save your money and take your child elsewhere (which is what we did). read more

I called to schedule a tour for this place & spoke to a rude non accommodating receptionist who told me the only time i can come is at 11. I told her i work & cant come at that time & she could care less, i felt her dying threw the phone to hang up. If you only have ONE time people can come it seems like you have something to hide. Besides the fact , having someone representing your establishment that could care less if you get business or not is a complete turn off!! read more

This daycare has a very strictly policy for the circle time, in the morning, they reject you at door rudely if you don't get there by 9:00 am. You have to wait outside the door until the circle time is done at 9:30 am because they don't want to disturb the teacher and kids for the circle time. I have to drop my son first to the school, then drive to Harmony to drop my daughter, so almost every morning, my daughter and I have to wait outside for half an hour even I just 3 mins late sometime, thus I'm late to work almost every day. There is a funny thing that they track and charge you if you are a few minutes early dropping off, my neighbor got charged couple times for 5 mins early dropping off as she dropped her kids at 8:55 am. So you have to waiting to enter the room or stay in the room until 9:00 am. Some parents complained that we paid money to daycare for 9 hours, why we have to accompany our kids for half an hour in the morning? If you don't want to get disturbed, you supposed to provide a room and teachers to take care of the kids who come late, don't put responsibility to parents. Most of time parents were late just because of the busy traffic. Or you can change the circle time to 9:30 am or after 10:00 am. However, just like some parents said that it is really had to communicate with the administration, they were always right and we the parents were always wrong. I have to say the teachers were good and nice to kids, but administration is defensive, inflexible condescending and blatantly rude. Another concern is that they are not allowed you to see the kids on the camera, they don't put it online because they have privacy policies: Some parents don't want to others see their kids online. You may see the video in the lobby, but it is a small TV for all classes, it is really hard to see it clearly and there were just partial rooms. Most times you cannot figure out which one is your kids. All in one, I'm not recommended this school. read more

I have had my son at Harmony for the last three years and am enrolling my infant as well. My son loves the school and his teachers. Anytime that we have had any questions the teachers and administrative office have been more than helpful. I have looked at a lot of daycares prior to Harmony and you could do a LOT worse. read more

Still enjoying this school. They have so many different activities for the children. Halloween was so much fun with a party, parade, pumpkin carving and pumpkin picking. Just had a special show for the children. It consisted of music and dancing. For Thanksgiving they had a feast. I love the little turkey head band they made. My daughter wore it all day! She was so proud of herself. She told everyone she mad it a school. I'm a happy mommy! read more
