I signed up my daughter for this school's summer program in Feb. Last week Wednesday, I was sent…read morean invoice for the full first month payment plus $300 in fees. Total charge was $2,400 for one month of summer camp. The price is not my main issue. Its the manner in which they bill and THREATEN. I usually send my daughter to Lightbridge which has smaller class sizes and is a better school IMO and have never been billed in that manner. Apple Montesorri billing practice is threatening and predatory in nature. On Monday, 3/20, I received an email indicating paymment should in full in 2 days or "your application will be denied". . I didnt want my daughter to attend a school with such practices so I didnt pay tge inviice forgetting that I had given them my credit card info. . My card was charged on Friday 3/24. Today on 3/27, I contacted them telling the school I'm no longr interested in their summer program. They claim I cant reverse the charge and my daughter must attend their summer program that starts 2 months away. I've already called my bank to reverse the charge. But had to leave a review as this practice is predatory and manipulative. I only wanted my daughter to attend due to the daily swim classes n activities. But I could not in good faith support a school thats so impersonal and threatens parents. Their proram doent start till after July 4 by tge way. We're still in March!.

The school used to be very good and it used to feel like family. But, now the overall experience…read morehas deteriorated. The only thing school really cares about is money and how to get more money from parent's pockets. We had a very bad experience when they started charging us for AM and PM care randomly for being 1 or 2 minutes late or early. When we tried to explain that the timestamps appear to be made up(which they were - I had proof), they just charged us anyway(without authorization). Even when the assistant director told us that there was an error on their part, the tuition director didn't refund us the charge. Following is what I observed in being ~4 years with the school: 1. They find new ways of getting money from parents. 2. Their fast track program($100 per month) is a waste. When the teacher of this program left, the school didn't inform the parents about it and kept charging us. 3. Even the tution director who does the billing doesn't know the correct buffer pick or drop times for the parents. These buffer times changed when I exchanged emails with her. Earlier it was said that it's 10 minutes for morning but later this was changed to 15 minutes in the same email thread.(looks like a scam to me) Their payment system has been designed to make holes in parent's pockets: 1. There is no free AM or PM care, and buffer times vary based on whom you ask. 2. During covid they did close classrooms for weeks, but we as parents never asked for refund. They should have at least brought it up. We kept our kids home and never said that we need money back for services we never got. 3. Fast track classes are charged $100 per month. Why would you charge for extra class when it should be available for every kid paying the monthly tuition? I can't give less than 1 on review, but if they keep going on this path then parents like us will keep leaving this school. Please do not send your kid to this school. Stars for the management : 0

My daughter has been attending the Learning Experience in Wayne since she was 5 months old. As…read morefirst time parents, my husband and I have been incredibly happy and grateful to all of the staff. From the day we started I have never felt more confident in our child's safety, education, and well-being. From the moment you walk into the door every staff member greets us and knows my daughter's name and what to say if she is having a rough morning. Ms. Mayte and Ms. Alexis are always at the front desk with a smile and are always able to answer any questions or concerns. The director, Ms. Ariel is one of the first people to reach out if my daughter needs anything throughout the day as well as to help my daughter with anything she needs. She is also very open with communication which i find to be a huge comfort. Her teachers have been incredible from the infant class with Ms. Gigi, loving her as well as supporting and helping me through the early stages and milestones of her first months. Her favorite teacher; Ms. Chantel who has become her support person (as well as mine) has been there for her from learning to roll, taking her first steps, learning to speak, and so much more. She goes above and beyond to make sure she is feeling loved and safe throughout her day. As an educator myself, I am impressed with the curriculum and all of her teachers as she has progressed through the program. They have not only supported her, but have guided her through her milestones as well as educated her. Ms. Frida, Ms. Jacky, Ms. Maylee, Ms. Anna, Ms. Z, Ms. Zeba, Ms. Aimee, Ms. Isabella, Ms. Noelle, and countless others are incredible educators. I couldn't be more grateful for all they have done and continue to do for my daughter.

She's a fraud. If a parent/sibling/aunt/uncle/grandmother& grandfather or a friend leaves a concern about a facility that isn't treating any child with special needs right, THEY HAVE A RIGHT to leave and & express the concern about the facility. For you to write a comment a day ago should be illegal. You should be ashamed of yourself and also the OWNERS for allowing you to do what you did. I do want to be complete honest, Nicole is the rudest director ever. This facility is a dump and they fake the funk all the way with the parents. Smile & then talk behind their backs in reference about their children. If I was you, I would be cautious about putting my kids into this daycare or wherever Nicole is. ;)

If you are thinking about bringing your children to this facility think again! First, let me start…read morewith their teachers high turnover rate. My son has been in the toddler class for 6 months and we've been through approximately 1 teacher every month! Understandable for the underpayment they receive, but terrible for our children! Then they demand appreciation for their teachers from parents on days like "appreciation week"! NO, they need appreciate their own teachers by paying them enough to last more than one month! so don't try to bond with a teacher over here because they're on the go! Even the principal left a few months after the school opened and now they have a new one! The school had a COVID case back in July but unlike all other daycares that close one to tow weeks to insure everyones safety, they remained open because their main goal is collecting money. I had to keep my son home for a few weeks because we had a newborn. Not even one person bothered to check on my son to see if he's okay! This also applies to when the boy is absent you never hear from them! Again, unlike other daycares visits are not allowed, bringing cake for your kids birthdays isn't allowed, I was told not to put any candy in my son's birthday giveaway bags but we personally received bags with tons of candy from other children! Hmmm the rules don't apply for everyone!! I sent an organic ointment with my sons belongings with his name printed on it, that ointment was no where to be found! So I bought and sent a new one! Funny enough when I decided to pull my son out and received his belongings, again the ointment wasn't there! Seems like this ointment is someone's favorite over there! On the parent forum "Bright wheel" we would receive a picture with many clothing items with the following question "Is any of these items for your son?" How tacky and unprofessional is this! A few days ago, I dropped the boy off to only receive a voicemail while getting into my complex elevator that exactly states: "your son is upset and he ran right into the door and when we tried to pick him up to console him he threw himself on the floor and he bumped his head a pretty good bump" then moving forward to the accident report I received for this incident it exactly states: "Your son banged his head on the door twice and threw himself face first on the ground and hit his head" WOW! Which statement should I believe? I said show me the cameras I would like to see it in action because my son has never done this before. Sure enough the principal refused. Not only their accident report statement is vague but it's very insulting for me as a mother, and for my 2 years old son as well. So does all their other accident reports. They want you to believe there's something wrong with your child and it's him to blame for incidents. I don't invest into teaching my son to wake up and start banging his head randomly NO! Shame on them if their accusations is right pushing a child to behave this way! Everyone was horrified of my son's head injury including his doctor who asked us if we saw the cameras? Everyone is having a very hard time believing that my son would do this to himself! Everyone is suggesting that police should be involved. 2 days after his head injury he goes back to Everbrook and right after they received him, I receive a text on brightwheel saying: "your son was upset I tried comforting him but it wasn't working and resulted on him wanting to hit his head on the floor" Really? IF I believe their accusations, what would push a happy child to hurt himself over there? What makes those big negative feelings of a child surface at daycare that we NEVER see at home? Never heard of child wanting to bang their head after "consoling and comforting them"! How about the reason? The cause? They fail to contain the child, handle their emotions or communicate on his level appropriately. I then realized my son wasn't in a safe environment and needed out of that place immediately! I am as a mother traumatized of this experience that resulted in my son's head injury ( pictures attached) and I won't be sending him to daycare .. they don't care for children they rather complete tasks to receive a pay. I feel he's in a safe place now with me at home. Avoid Everbrook Academy at all costs!

Having over 15 years experience in the…read morechild care industry, I know just how crucial it is to have the right people in place to create a wonderful environment for children, their parents and staff. This particular location is independently owned and operated by Alicia Antoine who is extremely experienced, having run another TLE location for 8 years and being a mom of 3. She understands the needs of working parents since she is very involved and hands on herself, opening the center daily. She also used to be a teacher and is extremely supportive to her teaching team because she shares the same passion for providing quality care and education to children in the community. I truly couldn't have picked a better place to settle in my career. The facility itself is absolutely beautiful (you have to see it to believe it) and TLE's curriculum is hands down the most comprehensive educational program I've had the ability to work with. The curriculum and research development team ensures that each child is able to grow and develop independently while becoming caring members of society. It is because of this team that teachers are afforded the ability to focus their energy on being loving and nurturing caregivers while they execute the TLE curriculum created by corporate. At TLE of North Haledon, you honestly get the best of all worlds- a brand new school with beautiful amenities, an experienced and passionate owner, a comprehensive curriculum, and the most loving, nurturing staff. You'd be hard-pressed to find all of these unique qualities anywhere else, and I am grateful to be part of such an incredible school.
