    My son was a part of Kiddie academy from 2 years of age until 5 years. Everyone here is…read moreprofessional. Office staff Ms Liz and Ms Melanie are very helpful. Teachers here are very kind and supportive. My son enjoyed going here and was a fan of most of his teachers like Ms Su (His all time favorite) , Ms Nelly, Ms Alexa, Ms Arleny. This branch has their own kitchen, which was a plus for us. They have cameras which me and my wife would access through an app. This location is very close to the station for any parent to drop their kids while heading to work. Office staff tried their best to accommodate any of our request and were always helpful. I would definitely recommend this daycare. Thank you Kiddie Academy for everything you did to make sure my son was safe and happy.

Originally, our daughter was going to attend the Secaucus public school at the start of the year and it was still unclear if they were going to be remote, in person or hybrid due to the pandemic. Kiddie Academy offered a safe, structured, in person program with limited enrollment of 10 children. This worked best for what we were looking for during this difficult time for everyone and her development. The limited enrolment with a primary and a secondary teacher allowed for a lot of 1:1 time with the students. Our daughter was not a number of many but one of few and she thrived. The school, since it is private, was able to advance their curriculum when all of the students demonstrated an understanding of the subject matter. Due to their curriculum, teaching style and 1:1 time she is able to read independently, add, subtract, count by 1's, 2's and 5's, solve word problems etc. It is amazing how much our daughter has grown since September building upon what she learned in their Pre-K program. The experience we have had over the past 5+ years with the teachers and administration have been pleasant and I never doubted that our daughter was receiving anything but the best care and education. A special thank you to Ms. Patty, Ms. Diana, Ms. Liz and Ms. Melanie for their support and dedication.

    Our experience with this preschool, was absolutely amazing and exceeded all our expectations! We…read moresaw ,firsthand, the positive impact it had on my nephew. From the first weeks, the teachers made a genuine effort to support his adjustment, keeping us , thoroughly informed and ensuring he felt secure and always included. That level of communication and Genuine care made a big difference for our family. Their classroom environment is very structured, organized, and welcoming. It is a setup, where the students, are not overly stimulated and they keep it simple, but, yet, very relaxed and productive! Smart Starts Academy has a curriculum , in which, encourages learning through, play while building important social and academic skills. Over time, we noticed improvements in his confidence, language skills, and enthusiasm for learning, which speaks volumes about the quality of instruction and Attentiveness to each student in their classroom! Emotions that each child may carry ,throughout their day, was Never ignored , but rather, very respected and handled with Extreme care and Genuine Understanding! The staff is beyond,professional, attentive, and Deeply committed to each child's development and learning journey! This preschool sets a HIGH standard for early education, and we would confidently recommend it to any family seeking a program that combines strong academics with Genuine care. Furthermore, the fact that, the students are to wear a uniform, distinctively separates, from other schools,especially because, the students are grasping the idea that, "we are going to school" and it clearly shows the difference between all other schools in the area. I absolutely RECOMMEND Smart Starts Academy and it will Not disappoint! The Smart Start Academy is a Great School for each child's first major steps in Learning and socially engaging in Healthy and Sustainable Growth and Development!

She associates her uniform with "going to school", which is a great visual prompt to get us ready & out the door each day. 2) The administration and staff are so helpful & have been extra accommodating to her special needs. There is a great curriculum including an introduction to Spanish language skills & preschool preparation (tracing letters, using glue sticks & scissors, etc) . It's truly like a school rather than just a daycare facility. She loves her teachers Mrs Ruth & Miss Justine :) 3) The tech used by the facility is great. The app lets us check her in & out for the day with ease. We get information and photo updates throughout the day. 3) Food is healthy and our picky eater never goes hungry.

Taking a leap of faith in 2023, I enrolled my son in the Summer Camp program at The Learning Experience (TLE) in North Bergen for seven weeks, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. What we got back was more than just a camper--we got back a little leader! The independently curated curriculum at TLE, paired with their exceptional staff, created a safe, clean, and nurturing environment where my son could thrive. The educators at TLE took the time to truly understand and nurture his strengths, helping him overcome emotional hurdles with compassion and professionalism. Thanks to TLE, my son has made incredible academic and social progress. The growth we've witnessed has been nothing short of remarkable. "Impressive" is the same word I hear from all his providers as a result of his overall outcomes provided by TLE. I will be forever grateful to the Directors, Ms. Cory and Ms. Bina, teachers Ms. Adawali, Ms. Cecelia, Ms. Janisa (supportive teachers), and everyone at TLE for their unwavering dedication and the transformative impact they've had on my child's development. If you're a parent seeking a place where your child can grow, learn, and shine, look no further than TLE North Bergen. They don't just teach--they empower!

Ms Adaweli has been a teacher here for years and has impeccable ways of helping any child with writing , and reading , and most importantly behavior. My daughter has improved with her help and I am very happy to have her in this private daycare.

    Scribbles Learning Center - January 15/2019@ 10:20 SLC

    *This was a rebuttal to the owner, who has since deleted her comment which was once again full of…read moreexcuses and fabrications.* It's sad - but not surprising - that the owner continues to lack accountability for this incident. As the owner of this facility, she never once called me to discuss what happened. She never apologized. She instead chose to hold 2 meetings on Jan 3 and 4 with all enrolled parents where she blatantly lied about myself and my two year old, and falsely said Scribbles was cleared of all allegations. Her only communication to me is via responses on review sites - one of which was a nasty comment that she then deleted. How grossly unprofessional. To clarify for parents - Scribbles was never cleared by the state. There was no "additional complaints." We gave all information during our initial call, and followed up with emails containing the video footage of her staff pushing and yanking my two year old. There was no a-ha moment where we supplied additional stories to the state. That's not how this works. Further, after the parents meeting, I confirmed with the Supervisors at the State Office of Licensing that the investigation was still open. They confirmed that Scribbles would not have been told by the investigator the outcome, as- at that time - it had not been finalized yet. As you can see from the attached report, the three investigation dates took place on or before the parents' meeting; there was no follow-up investigation after that date - Claudia's rationale makes no sense. Claudia and her team knew the details of this incident immediately, yet continued to minimize it - even though we have their video surveillance footage of this aggressive treatment. Furthermore, she threatened to sue me to keep me from sharing our truth, not knowing that I'm fully aware of what constitutes defamation (Claudia FYI I went to law school. What *you* did is indeed defame our family.) During the Jan 3 and 4 meetings, Claudia and her assistant director reassured parents that they could feel confident leaving their children in the hands of these two staffers - yet now, she has chosen to fire them? She watched the video of her staffers aggressively shove and yank a two year old, but it took 6-8 weeks for it to sink in that's not acceptable behavior? It's clear that the only reason this step was taken is that the State substantiated each and every allegation against them. If the owner truly cared about making this right, she would have 1) called me directly to apologize and 2) taken immediate disciplinary action against the staffers. Instead she and her assistant director downplayed what happened by saying "it looked worse on video," they mocked me and my husband for not letting this go silently, and they engaged in a blatant campaign to malign us. I will continue to refute every mistruth that is put out against our family. My 2 year old will not be the scapegoat or be further defamed. The silver lining in this is that we have pulled our child out and she is flourishing at her new Center. She has learned more in the past 8 weeks than she did in 7 months at Scribbles. The differences are stark. Interestingly, we have not received any negative reports on her behavior - which sadly is the justification they used to excuse their staff's behavior. This saga has weighed on us, and we are happy it's over.

Our daughter has made a lot of friends at the center, but has also become close with each and every teacher there who have become like family to her given the very little turnover we have seen. She always refers to them as her best friends! My daughter has learned so much at Scribbles. She has learned to count, do her ABCs, recite nursery rhymes, and writing skills - usually showing me what she learned before I even thought to teach her. They also were crucial in helping to potty train her at a younger age and were very diligent in ensuring she did not have foods that she is intolerant to. Like all daycares we had a few situations that we preferred to be handled differently, but all I had to do was speak or text with Mrs Angie who would always be responsive and work with us. One time she even went as far as having an in person meeting with me and had prepared with a complete time schedule of what our daughter did during the day based on the video footage. She is great on handling the administrative aspects as well. We will miss Scribbles, but we are so grateful for the time our daughter got to spend there.
