Where do I start...My child started TLE river vale in September 2023. After rave reviews from…read morefriends whose children attend at other locations, we hoped to have the same experience. Upon our tour we were sold on nutritious meals, small intimate classrooms, clean environment, and caring staff. We were extremely misled by TLE. The first few months put our minds at ease with the access of the TLE app. This told a story of our child thriving, eating every meal and participating in activities. We came to find out the app was extremely inaccurate. Upon speaking with the teachers we were told our child wasn't eating at all after we've been lied to for months about our child's eating via the app. Not only was this extremely irresponsible of TLE but this was also neglectful to not tell us that he was going days without eating and posting photos "to show face". My child started with 12 children in the class in September. Currently the class has 16-18 children which is extremely unsafe! It is impossible for a class that size to be properly cared for with the number of teachers provided. When it comes to a clean environment TLE is NOT the place. There have been multiple instances at pick up where these is a mess of food left on the tables from earlier lunch. While I know kids are messy, my child would come back from school filthy which I'm sure contributed to the amount of urgent care and sick visits monthly. The teachers were very nice I felt bad they were dealing with limited resources and staff. Which makes the teacher turnaround at this center believable. Overall There were many occasions where my child was dropped off later in the day and I've seen teachers sitting at the children's table while the kids played on the other side of the room. I am extremely disappointed in this center and how they've handled situations with our family. The lack of receptiveness to our feedback in the past shows the lack of care for anything other than making money off packing these classrooms with kids. Do your research on these chain daycares before enrolling. I certainly will moving forward.

I knew that the new school my son would attend had to be great, meet the needs of my son and our family, have a sense of community, be well - established with strong leadership, and a kind and supportive staff.....and they had to have availability immediately. KinderCare, Old Tappan, NJ to the rescue! I called KinderCare, Old Tappan, NJ, and spoke with the Director, Ms. Jessica Epstein. She understand the urgency of the situation, and scheduled a same - day, evening tour (7 PM) so my husband could attend too. My son's future Teacher, Ms. Amanda also stayed late for the tour. The tour was detailed, organized, and thorough. Every question I had, had a thoughtful (and transparent) answer. My son gravitated to Ms. Amanda like they were long - lost friends; followed her directions; cleaned up the toys he began playing with; and upon leaving, gave the Director, Ms. Epstein a long, warm hug. He didn't want to let go! KinderCare, Old Tappan, NJ was friendly, supportive, and warm. I emailed the enrollment forms that evening. YIPPEE my son had a school, and it was great! .....but, never one to shy away from doing my due diligence, I kept the 7 other school tours I had already scheduled. The other schools were good, had their strong points, but no other school was great. I undoubtedly chose the best school for my son.

This Summer our 6.5 years old son is enjoying myself in the traveling camp which is offered for five years old children and up; every week is a different theme, they go on field trips, swimming at the Y, play at parks with burgers, Special guests Wednesdays and Splash days Fridays. I give KinderCare of Old Tappan 5 stars because of following facts: * Care - KC of OT strategically employ passionated, warm, energetic individuals whom take pride in teaching tomorrow's leaders. I'm humbly honored to have my child apart of this great team environment. * Educational Tools - From healthy cooking enrichment classes, to phonic reading, they provide a full array of enrichment learning during the summer months. *Management - Director over 16 years at KC Assistant Director over 10 years w/KC and Program Specialist 4 years at Old Tappan. * Nutrition - Lunchtime meals as well as snacks all offer nutritional value with eating habits we would want our children to all emulate at home. * Retention & Retainment of Teachers - Mainly all teachers are still there since we started OR helping and transferred to another KC Center closer to home. - A whole lot of fun huh!

Every morning, my 3 year old asks, "is it time for Ms. Laura's?" This warms my heart & makes me…read moreconfident in my daycare decision. My son (1.5 years old) runs to her when he sees her. This is my 3rd daycare and we've now been here over a year. The 2 prior daycares had their own varying degrees and points of horror, and so when searching for a new daycare, we looked long and hard. Laura immediately made me feel comfortable and is a warm and friendly person (a mom of 3 young kids herself). The daycare is clean and she is the most patient human being I have ever known. The other 2 teachers are also wonderful with my kiddos! I should also add she takes them to the park, so they always get outdoor time when weather permits, and facilitates field trips and enrichment activities throughout the year. This year she took them to the zoo, Bounce U, the Untermyer Gardens (during their garden unit), the pool, the fire house, and more. She has monthly puppet shows with an outside vendor, and parties throughout the year (for major holidays). She even had a special daycare holiday party and gift exchange where the kids performed little seasonal songs they'd been working on during circle time. As a teacher myself, schedule and routine were a big deal to me and Laura follows the Mother Goose Time curriculum. We've had units on space, the seasons, gardening, etc. She gives us a monthly newsletter that lists books we can buy to read at home with our kiddos to reinforce what they're doing during the day. She does activities that work on motor functions, including play dough and shaving cream. It's really amazing. I forgot to add this earlier, but for my daughter's birthday, we could only book her party at Bounce U on a weekday at 3pm, so Laura BROUGHT THE KIDS FROM THE DAYCARE to the party for me, so everyone could attend, and parents picked up from there instead of the daycare. The other teacher stayed back with the little ones who couldn't attend. She will come down to my car to get my kids if I am running late, I mean, it's really just above and beyond. I am actually very sad that my daughter's daycare years will be coming to an end next year and feel so bad for her that she has to transition to school and away from Laura. I am certain we found the best daycare in Yonkers. I would highly recommend her.
