Wonderful place. I was a junior faculty at Princeton for five years and have to say that U-League…read morewas the most welcoming part of my Princeton experience. The teachers are wonderful, and the parents are a healthy mix of town and gown. Princeton can be a very cold and intimidating town, especially for someone with 3 young ones, but this group of people at this school were quite warm and easy to make friends with. I was very disappointed to hear that the University has other priorities.

I can't say enough great things about this school.

They are patient and kind and emphasize what is truly important.

My son just entered Kindergarten this year and I can't recommend the school enough. Great caring…read moreteachers and a very nurturing environment. They have a weekly class blog so that you know what is going on in the class. Its only been a month of school and they already learned how to do tallies, graphs, probability. Its very focused on the core academics. My son is taking the after school program so now he is learning 2 languages Mandarin and Spanish. I thought he would hate it instead he looks forward to it and comes home talking to me like hey do you know how to count in Spanish? (He learned this just after 1 week of class) They also have yoga classes and the teacher is amazing, he can't wait to show me all these poses. I have seen his confidence grow so much in the past month. In his previous school he was a very quick learner and I was worried he wouldnt be challenged and just bored. I couldn't be more wrong. They tailor the homework and work to your child and aren't afraid to push them. If you are looking at private schools, in my opinion PJS is the top tier. I toured all of them in the area, PDS, Chapin, Friends etc. and at the end I took a chance with PJS only because I loved the open space. I was worried that academically it might not have been up to par with the other private school or public schools (I live in one of the top districts in the area). I have two friends going to the private schools mentioned (Kindergarten) and PJS quite frankly raises the bar. I think it is because of the new curriculum they have been using. This is a great school. You will not be disappointed sending your child here, if I only knew then what I do now. The choice would have been a no brainer.

Princeton Junior School (PJS) is a very special place. Our son has been lucky enough to be a…read morestudent at PJS for four years. The school has helped him grow and learn, but most importantly PJS has helped him grow to love learning! In his lessons he has found a joy in discovery and growth and a curiosity that will serve him well for the rest of his life. Our PJS student tells me that "This school is the best! The teachers are all really nice, we have great lessons and projects, and we learn a lot!" The IB orientation helps to teach in a way that each individual student can get the most from the lessons. Being part of an international community as an IB school is present in the population of the school and the curriculum they teach. Princeton Junior School is not just important to our rising 5th grader. Our entire family has found a community in PJS that supports our child and all of us, that has introduced us to families that have become our friends, and that we are proud to be a part of. Our child is the most important thing in our lives, and Princeton Junior School is a place that has earned our trust and our gratitude in helping him develop and grow into a strong student and curious global citizen.

We enrolled our daughter Cammie at the Kiddie Academy of Hamilton in October, and we could not be…read morehappier with our decision. My initial contact was Pam, and I was immediately impressed with her very warm and informative tour. She really took the time to explain to me exactly what my child would be learning, with examples of their teaching philosophy. I had toured four other preschools and none were nearly as professional, or as welcoming as this one was. Pam made my family feel very comfortable and taken care of, and I felt confident enrolling my daughter in the school that same day. Since then, I have not been disappointed in any way. Pam, Kathy, and Kyla (owners and the director) have been wonderful to us, and they are very friendly and approachable people to see every day. My daughter started out in Classroom 5 with Miss Amelia, Miss Kelly, and Miss Jacoby. I have been very impressed with all three teachers and my daughter absolutely loved their class! She would talk about her teachers when she'd get home from class, and I found her quickly learning many new things right away. She was showing me sign language, telling me how she sounded out new letters that she was learning, and she learned so many new songs that she sings all the time now. They worked with Cammie on potty training and she made a ton of progress thanks to her teachers! Another wonderful thing about the Kiddie Academy is the cameras in each classroom and on the playground. My husband and I can check in on my daughter any time we want to see how her day is going. Also, her grandparents love to check in to see what she is up to! They send us photos of Cammie during the day (we LOVE this) and we also get a detailed report at the end of each day. The teachers are positive, kind, and do a fantastic job, and I feel 100% confident leaving Cammie with them. Recently, we learned Cammie would be moving on to the next level classroom and at first I was worried about the change (especially since she loved her classroom 5 teachers so much!). I soon found out that she would be moving on with five classmates she knew already, and she would be visiting the new classroom a little bit each day over a period of two weeks before the official move, and that really made me feel better. What a smart and thoughtful transition! As a result, Cammie has already made a seamless change, and she is really enjoying her new teachers in classroom 6, Miss Alyssa and Miss Lauren. When I look in on the class, I see lots of activity, learning, and fun happening there at all times. Cammie is very happy in her new classroom! In closing, my daughter literally opens her eyes in the morning and says with a big smile, "school?!"! She is ready to go, and she is so excited to get there. We pull up to the front of the building and she yells "yay!! school!!". When I arrive to pick her up, she does not want to go home. I think that says it all! We are very grateful that we found The Kiddie Academy of Hamilton, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quality school for their child!

I'm writing this to share an honest experience for other families who may not fully understand how…read moreprivate school policies can impact them during difficult times. My children attended this school and were happy there. It was the only school they had known, and they had built relationships, routines, and a sense of stability within that environment. When our family experienced financial hardship due to job loss, we were no longer able to meet the tuition requirements. As a result, our children were asked to leave. I understand that private schools operate as businesses and rely on tuition. However, what was difficult was the lack of flexibility, support, or transition planning for the children. The process felt abrupt, and there was little acknowledgment of the emotional impact on them. For young children, being removed from their school environment is not just a logistical change, it's a significant emotional disruption. That part did not seem to be considered in how the situation was handled. I'm sharing this so other parents are aware: If your financial situation changes, there may be limited options, and the outcome can be immediate. If you are considering this school, I would encourage you to ask detailed questions about: -financial aid policies during unexpected hardship -transition support if a family can no longer afford tuition -how the school supports children emotionally in those situations The education itself may be strong, but families should understand the full picture before committing.

We have been a Chapin family for eleven years…read more My older daughter had attended Chapin since pre-k and graduated last year. She was more than ready to take on the challenges of secondary school. Her freshman year was an academic success! Throughout her years at Chapin, she has grown to be an independent, well-rounded individual. She's not afraid to email teachers about assignments, ask questions when she is uncertain about something discussed during class, or voice her opinion about anything. We owe those positive attributes to Chapin. My younger daughter has also attended Chapin since pre-k. She continues to amaze us with how much she's learned in just a short amount of time. We owe that to the excellent Chapin teachers who not only educate their students but also care about their growth and development. My husband and I are excited for my little one to experience all that Chapin has to offer in the coming years. Chapin is an extraordinary school. The decision to send our children here is one of the best decisions that my husband and I have ever made.

Each age/stage teacher has their own gifts in caring for each developmental stage and they encourage children in learning and growing new skills and abilities in an age appropriate way. There is genuine warmth and caring among all care givers as well as leadership of the daycare. A very high level of care and concern for our precious little ones balanced with professionalism and courtesy. I don't worry at all about my kids during the day while I'm working.
