I can't speak highly enough of the entire staff; from the Infant room teachers all the way up to the UPK teachers - exceptional education & care IS always given. Staff here treat my children as their own family. Communication with parents is excellent. The director is accessible and the rates are affordable. Side note, this facility has a Nursing room, I was able to stop in and nurse my son as daily! My son is in good hands and my daughter still remembers her teachers years later - I'd recommend this center to anyone. I never had to or have to worry if my children are safe.

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 would say keep your black children away from this school! my son hatedddd it i hated it everyday…read morea report oh he pushed this person he hit that person butttt when my son come home and i report it, it's he didn't have a physical mark on him. i call bullshit my son is a darker complexion and the other kids are white so of course a little redness would show. they tried to make my son look sooo bad. i would say this should be a whites only school! ms.Devyn fuckn sucks! she always treated my son different i would see how she would hug him when it was drop off because my son cried so bad everyday than immediately i see her as im leaving moving him away from her she's a racist! and my son first day in her class she called him boy and my sons dad said my son name is ace! if teachers cannot deal with kids of other races they shouldn't be allowed to teach. and all schools should offer some type of education on kids of different color. This school definitely needs to be investigated! the curriculum sucks! and they don't teach shit. kids don't even have a freakin WORK BOOK! also why are they charging so much for tuition but can't even get a proper photographer for the kids pictures c'mom! and the weirdos in the front act so concerned my son said melissa slapped him i definitely believe it now renee acts clueless to everything. my son also was having an allergic reaction and i noticed when i picked him up and took him to the doctor but let it be the other kids who don't look like his color they parents would've been called. The only teacher my son has ever liked was ms.gianna! she treated him so well and i believe she's probably the best there i hope she's leaves to find something better!! My son new teacher is very nurturing and loving and my son loves her soo much! i wish i found this school sooner. please keep your black children away from this dump everyday ms.devyn would write my son up and she wanted to have enough of them to kick him out but i said bump it and pulled him out! when she was on maternity my son never received a write up and i was getting good reports but soons she came back it was HELL!!' and he would even tell me all the teachers are so mean to him and would yell in his face. and he was very honest and said she kept doing it and he kicked her! i wanted to pull him before and i should've but i was told things would change and nope! that's my fault!! STAFF ARE NOT HONEST AND ALSO THERE NEEDS TO BE CAMERAS IN EVERY CLASSROOM! These teachers are not to be TRUSTED!

Square One Kids Academy has been one of the greatest blessings for our family. Our daughter is…read moreabsolutely thriving thanks to the incredible teachers, thoughtful curriculum, and loving environment they create every day. She is excited to go to school, comes home having learned something new, and has grown so much socially, emotionally, and academically. The school is always spotless, communication is excellent, and every member of the staff genuinely cares about the children and their families. What truly makes Square One special is that they are so much more than a daycare - they are family. When our son was born and our family was going through a difficult time, they went above and beyond to support us with kindness, compassion, and flexibility that we'll never forget. Knowing our daughter is loved and cared for as if she were their own gives us complete peace of mind. We couldn't recommend Square One Kids Academy more highly to anyone looking for exceptional childcare.

We have been so happy with the care and communication at Square One. The detailed updates in the app throughout the day are great, and we are happy with the curriculum. Our son's developmental skills have consistently progressed, and he very obviously loves his teachers. The facility is really nice - big, well organized, and clean, and they take security very seriously which we truly appreciate. There have been a lot of fun extra options to participate in like soccer, a Halloween parade, and a holiday show. We definitely recommend Square One!

My daughter went to TLE in Waldwick for a little over 3 years (from 15 months old until 4 years…read moreold). It was a rollercoaster of an experience for us so I wanted to share a very honest review and include both pros and cons for those of you looking for a daycare for your littles: PROS - Hours: Households with working parents will find the long hours at TLE extremely helpful - Food: Lunch is included with tuition and the quality/options are decent - Location: Very conveniently located in the heart of Waldwick with a large parking lot; interior space and playground are very roomy and well equipped - Cost: Very fairly priced compared to other daycares in the area - Ms Val (Toddlers) and Ms Claudia (Preppers): These 2 teachers happen to be exceptional there, and their care for and attention to the children is unmatched CONS - Staff: With the exception of Ms Val and Ms Claudia, the rest of the staff we encountered seemed unseasoned and unmotivated; pre-school in particular was a revolving door of teachers, one lazier than the next (MANY times my daughter came home saying she watched Curious George or other cartoons during the day for long periods of time) - Curriculum: As my daughter advanced there, it became increasingly clear that TLE is a daycare first and a learning center second; workbooks were repetitive and unstimulating, and again, screen time was waaaaaay overused (the TLE brand had a big marketing push over the last year, with a constant barrage of emails flooding my inbox to purchase gear or plushies for my child, and a branded cartoon called "Bubbles and Friends" quickly became a teacher substitute in the classrooms vs an occasional educational aid) - Communication: Many times, parents were notified at the last possible minute of things that were due to the daycare, what Learning Bag (ie, Show and Tell) items for the week were, etc; the app that they use was very rarely updated with important notifications in a timely manner, and sometimes entire days would go by without any photos posted - Nepotism: The 4 main leads/directors at this location are sisters, so if you ever need to escalate a situation, it's useless unless you dig and find out the names of folks at corporate (which I had to do a few times--the corporate people I spoke to though were always helpful once you could connect with them); additionally, I never once met/saw the owner, LynnAnn, in our 3 years there, which I found very odd So, all in all, decent daycare, but once your child requires more than a babysitter, I would not recommend TLE.

UPDATE: A parent I know just called me and told me the Teacher who was the one who was HIGH on…read moreDRUGS is calling people telling them this isn't true and for people to write good reviews I HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS from this incident from my phone and home cameras PLUS a text message from her saying how sorry she was ... I am MORE THAN HAPPY to share these just message me! ***They haven't had a review in YEARS (take a look at the dates it's true) .. So I'm sure they will now get some positive reviews from their friends & to be honest it doesn't faze me .. as long as PARENTS know the TRUTH on where they are sending their child*** I have been unsure of writing this review for well over a year. Years ago this school was great (I sent both of my children there) But this year I had to pull my youngest child out of that school. I had a problem there with a teacher who was on drugs (and STILL works there) .. she watched my children at our shore home (which is on the bay/water) while we were out she got HIGH on either heroin or prescription drugs (I STILL have videos and photos to prove this if this school DARES to argue).. we came home early thank GOD and my daughter who had access to our filled hot tub on our deck and the open bay ... my daughter could had fell in and died if we didn't get home when we did.. I noticed with this "teacher" when she feel off the chair holding my child I told her to go lay down (I didn't realize yet) then she put my daughter in the tub with her clothes ON with the water RUNNING... I stopped it quickly as I was getting her out of the tub she went to my little one who had a donut. She took the donut from her & began to smear it on her face. My little one began screaming & I ran to her. I asked her what did she take she began to slur her words and said "I just did a teaspoon" (so I'm believe it was heroin .. I even looked up videos on how people act and it was EXACT). then said her ex-boyfriend stopped by (but we checked our outside and inside cameras and no one showed up) then she quickly she passed out.. (again thank god we got home or my kids would be alone and her passed out) My oldest saw it all and scared the hell out of her. The girl told me the next day she was sorry that she had 8 shots of tequila (I don't even have tequila in the house & she did not smell of any alcohol) ANYWAY the school was aware of this and did NOTHING. Now ACADEMICALLY ... I just recently had my daughters new school teacher conference & she has made SUCH a progress in just 3 short months .. I was worried she might have had a learning disability it wasn't that at all it was because that school was a place to just play NOT LEARN. She did not learn ONE thing the last year she was there. The books they sent home of the children's work was never complete.. because they never did work with them. And the teachers are always swapping or getting pulled there & the classrooms have ZERO constancy or classroom management which makes the children out of control. Parents this place is a disaster .. so sad because they use to be so wonderful... & pulling my daughter was the BEST decision I could have made for her... please watch your children for their safety & learning... and most importantly NEVER let them watch ur children in your home! ***RESPONDING TO COMMENT BELOW*** ... this is beyond untrue ... when this incident happened the front desk WAS notified (the girl at the desk even told me how that teacher got similar at their past holiday party) .. they promised me they would keep her away from my daughter ... so we stayed stayed in the school because my daughter was comfortable & we've been going there for 7 years between both my kids ... there were 3 times I found her in the room with her and flipped out.. then one day my daughter was sitting in the front by the sick room when I picked her up bc this PERSON took her class outside to play (when it wasn't this teachers time to be in the playground) so my daughter was removed from playing with her friends & had to sit alone at the front desk. This teacher was then promoted to more responsibility in the school and I said I was not comfortable because she would see my daughter everyday and when I told Lynnann about it many months after she had NO IDEA of what happened ...... then Lynnann didn't return my calls or text messages but instead she pushed the responsibility of handling it to the girls in the front! Again, best decision because my daughter is now SAFE without me worrying and actually LEARNING
