    my 4 year old son has been enrolled in this school for a few months now and never with any of his…read moredaycares was he so eager to wake up in the morning to get to school, he wakes up everyday with excitement he loves all his teachers and friends and i cant thank them enough for taking such good care of him, there is nothing better than dropping your kid off at school knowing they are always in great hands. As a mother this was one of the best decisions i have made for my son he has learned so many new things since he has started here. The owners and the management team is also amazing i cant thank them enough. -ALEX CARTAGENA

    My son started attending TLE Edison at 18 months old in the Toddler Program. I am happy and…read moregrateful, we found such an amazing learning center for him. Since he started, he has improved in his social skills, sensory ability, eating, and environmental change. Seeing him thrive is the greatest happiness in my life and having such wonder teachers and directors to help him achieve it. He loves all his teachers and all the engaging activities. He especially loves Ms. Asha, Director. I can't express how grateful I am to Ms. Asha for all her support as FTM and the transition into the school. She was definitely the reason why I decided to enroll my son to TLE Edison. As the pandemic continues, it was very important for me to know my son is in safe environment. The owners Shae and Manny ensure the health and safety is their #1 priority to my son, the children, and staff. They are dedicated and invested in TLE, I see them working hard everyday for the staff and children. I recommend TLE Edison to all my mom friends at my local park or anyone if you are looking for your baby to thrive and prosper in safe and nurturing center. TLE Edison is the place for you!

    Our experience with the school was unpleasant to say the least. There were multiple incidents of…read moreour 2 year old daughter going hungry, and the answer we were given is because it is 'policy'. Once our daughter's name on her lunchbox had one letter fade away. The result was that she was not fed because it's against school policy to feed lunch in such situations. The interesting thing to note is that no one on her classroom had a name even remotely close to hers, leave alone being a letter away, and it was very clear who the lunchbox belonged to. Another time, my wife had been to ER due to complications from flu the previous day, and the school knew it because we had called them to release our daughter to my brother in law. The next morning, mom was pretty much out of business and I was trying my best to get the kids to school. I was 15 mins past the class' snack time. I did not realize it while dropping but 5 mins later called them from my home explaining the circumstances and the medical issue and asking them to make a one time exception to feed her outside of schedule. My request was denied with the reason that it's against school policy and no exception can be made.I then lost my patience, yelled at the person on the phone , picked up my kid back and vowed never to send her to this school again. When I entered her class to pick her up, I was visibly upset but was trying not to talk because there were kids present. However, I was greeted with this remark from the teacher in her class - 'had you brought her early, we would have fed her'. I told her that I do not want to get into an argument in front of the kids. The next day, while discussing this situation with Mr. Noel, I brought this point up and asked him why was I being instigated into an argument by the teacher in front of the kids. I did not get an answer. My sense is that the school is being run more like an organization riddled with policies, rather than a place geared towards the welfare of the child. They do a lot of lip service to their vision and goals - however when asked questions like 'would you be happy had your kid had to go through the same suffering' the answer was always 'no but it's policy and we can't make an exception to the policy'. In my discussion with Mr. Noel the next day, in the space of 10 mins , he let me know that the school was much more fun years ago than it is now but also that they have pride in the school. The only thing I let him know is that you, as the owner of the school, agree with me that the school policies caused my child to go hungry but you cannot and have not done anything about it. You are powerless to make an exception under genuine circumstances. I think your pride is misplaced. And the fact that you were ready to let a child go hungry, especially knowing that the family is under stress due to a medical emergency, should make you rethink what your school has become, and who are the policies designed for - certainly not the children. And let me say this, we have never had to have a discussion like this with the school that our older son goes to (3 years now) Teachers should be empathetic, caring and affectionate towards the child. I hope that as fellow human beings, they (and the school staff) are cognizant of when parents are under duress, and make a good faith effort to help. We all face such situations at one point of time or other, and as working adults sometimes we look for help. We entrust our kids to the school at a tender age, with the hope that they understand that the well being of the child should be a priority. However, when the child suffers because of the school 'a policy, I am not ready to continue to send my daughter to this school. . I hope the staff and teachers realize that there's much more to being a teacher than being able to read policies over the phone. The kids spend more time with you then with us. And in 5 months, if you were not able to develop a little affection and caring for the child to at least ensure that she is well fed while the dad is running hairy, I am not sure what to say. I know my review comes across as rather tedious and especially scathing, but I've tried to cover the facts, as well the overall sense that I have of how the school functions. I have already discussed all of this with Mr Noel, providing him a calm but honest feedback. It is up to him what he makes of it.

    We pulled our son from his preschool and put him in Goddard since they got rave reviews. Biggest…read moremistake we made, made our son suffer. My son, 3.5 years old at the time, started in December 2016 and we were out by April 2017. He was in the preschool room with Ms. Jen and Ms. Sharon, teachers who shouldn't be allowed to be "teachers". In the beginning things were "okay", he was adjusting to being in a new school. Few weeks later his teachers told me he's doing well and better than before. Few weeks after that the director, Noel, told us the teachers were at their boiling point with our son and didn't know what to do with him. Up until then, we never heard about then not being able to handle him. Had a talk with the teachers and they said he doesn't listen to them and often isn't nice to his friends. I started observing the teachers and realized they would call out to him from across the room and expect him to listen to them. Anyone who is qualified to teach 3 year olds should know that you must get near them and catch their attention. Also noticed that he was lashing out on his friends because he was being teased. The teachers ,conveniently, never noticed him being teased. They only ever noticed what my kid was doing wrong. Meanwhile, the director is telling me that my son may need a behavior therapist or a psychologist. I went and spoke to several professionals, all of them told me it's normal 3-year-old behavior. The director assured me that we can work together and figure out how to make him better at school. I was a damn fool for believing that man. The minute I told him my son doesn't need therapy, he threw his hands up and said there's nothing more they could do for him. At that point, I had already enrolled him elsewhere. We called a meeting with a director to give them a month notice but in that meaning he asked us to remove our child from the school, they couldn't handle him. I tried to explain to him that my child is being teased and labeled and his smug face had no response to it, he didn't give a damn. In addition to the above, let me tell you how they treated my child. The assistant teacher, Ms. Sharon, never even smiled except for 2 occasions when I gave her a gift. She was constantly complaining about my child. They even took things away from my child. It was another child's birthday party and the parents brought in goody bags, my son was refused a goody bag by the teacher because he didn't listen earlier that day. On another occasion, the teachers brought in pudding packs for the class and they gave a pudding to every single child except mine. You think a 3 year old is going to listen to you when you embarrass him like that? There was another child hitting mine in front of me and the afternoon teacher, Ms. Lauren, laughed at it. I wonder if they laughed when my son, supposedly, hit another child. I saw that same child lie to the teachers, IN FRONT OF ME, that my son hit him when my son did not touch him. When I brought it to their attention, they did nothing. My husband and I seriously wonder if he even hit other kids like the teachers say he did. My child is far from innocent but he IS NOT A MONSTER like they painted him out to be. He came from a school prior to Goddard where he was a favorite amongst the teachers, kids and parents. How does a kid go from favorite to most hated? The minute I put him back in his old school, I haven't gotten a complaint. The teachers at his school know how to deal with children. If you want to do right for your child, DO NOT SEND THEM TO GODDARD ISELIN. The owner is useless and the director, well she doesn't even talk to parents.

    I worked at Candyland for 3 months, and I don't recommend it as a good place to send a child…read more Candyland marginally meets the minimum standards of a child care facility, but there are many better schools. The place remains in business because of a decent percentage of the students receive subsidized tuition from the government or Catholic Charities. On the plus side, Candyland provides a structured learning environment for children, offers transporation to and from school for older children, and has reasonable prices. Unfortunately, I found that the kids were yelled out too frequently, employee turnover was rampant, maintenance of the facility was sub-par, and state-mandated child-to-adult ratios were routinely violated. The owner of the facility is a nice woman, but isn't very good at management. She tries to ensure that the facility is kept up, and state law is complied with. However, in my time there, I saw mold on one of the walls in the building, a child escape from the yard because a gate was broken, and one adult minding 15-20 young children.

    My daughter attends this school and I must say I am very happy with it!! I was a bit nervous…read moreputting her in a new school being she was attending another place prior, but I'm glad I did!!! She always has a smile on her face when I drop her off and when I pick her up! The staff members there love her and treat her well, and Ms. Julie is GREAT with her!!!! It's very hard these days to find a place to trust with your child, but I must say so far so GOOD and I know she LOVES being there! I must add the staff members are very friendly there too, and I LOVE that, and when I ask how my child was for the day they are VERY honest with me!! I know my child loves being there, but I also know she isn't an angel everyday for the staff because she is a baby and just like us adults babies also have their moods too! So I appreciate the staff being honest with me about my child's day whether good or bad! I would recommend this place to anyone!
