Can't say enough wonderful things about the amazing 2 years our daughter spent here…read more Highly recommend.

We (and our child) love this school. It is a wonderful, happy place for toddlers and preschoolers…read more It is a part-time school and children attend either T/T or MWF. The teachers use a play-oriented approach, children are free to learn by playing, and to explore at their own pace. Teacher/child ration is excellent and parents are invited to participate in class activities every couple of months. Teachers N & H are fantastic, consistently able to tune in with children, and authentically able to connect at each child's level.My child was mainly Italian speaking at the beginning of the year and both teachers have done an amazing work helping her to integrated in the class. They went as far as learning basic Italian to help her with her transition from Italian to English. Finally, in case that matters, it is a cheaper option than most other schools in the areas.

Our nearly 3-year-old daughter has been enrolled at La Petite Ecole for 3 months. We are an…read moreEnglish-speaking family and she has had no prior exposure to the French language. Within a week she was counting in French. Within 4 weeks she was singing in French. Within 2 months she was interspersing French words into daily conversation, comprehending basic conversation, and asking us "how do you say that ins French" about everything! The artsy, cozy setting in the first floor of a brownstone, is the perfect blend of New York and France! The director is passionate about the art- and exploration-based approach to learning. The teachers are warm, knowledgeable, and nurturing. We were anxious at enrollment as this was our daughter's first separation experience from both her parents and nanny. The educators at LPE transitioned her beautifully with frequent updates - she was comfortable and excited to go to school within a week. We have found the LPE parent community to be welcoming, down to earth, and interesting. We look forward to continuing to engage with this community both in and out of school. Our daughter has flourished at LPE and we can't wait to see how she continues to grow over the next 2 years. Recommend without any reservation!

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!

Our 3year old has attended Smart Start Academy (SSA Lumbar House) in Jersey City for almost a year…read more We are so happy with the facility, staff and overall program. 1) Love the mandatory uniform. 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.

I also loved how they have bilingual teaching opportunities. Kids absorb languages best when they're young and with a increasingly global society, it's great to offer kids that exposure. I also liked that it wasn't overly crowded. I actually drive to two schools for my kids so that my son is in an environment that's not packed with children during the pandemic. They also have an indoor play space and have some time where the younger toddlers and older toddlers do things together. I loved that philosophy from Acton Academy as I know my son loves modeling my older daughter. It's also fairly priced. Great place, especially for babies and younger kids. Plus- they helped potty train my son!! They aren't fancy and over the top - simply teach and treat my child like their own. I feel like my son is less materialistic than my daughter as a result.

The administration has been supportive throughout that transition, which we really appreciate. The community is warm and welcoming, and the location is hard to beat.

Katrina and Rayna do an excellent job of running things. Operationally, they are extremely organized. Communication, which is critical for such a dynamic environment, is excellent. One thing that stands out is how much the entire staff truly cares about the kids and develop relationships with each of them. I was very nervous about my 3 year old, who wasn't potty trained and had a speech delay. Marilyn was so patient with him and helped him progress much faster than I could have hoped for. The Pre-K program that followed exposed him to so much and made his early Kindergarten experience a very smooth transition. I'm extremely grateful to have found Tutor Time of West Orange.

As parents you have the opportunity to speak with them in the pick up/drop off lines and in parent teacher conferences. They spend a lot of time outside and do lots of arts and crafts. The curriculum is solid and I'm amazed at how much she has learned so far. Beyond that I've seen a positive impact on in my daughters manners, vocabulary, interaction with other kids, etc. I see little mannerisms she has picked up from her teacher that are really sweet, kind and empathetic. They do adorable celebrations for birthdays and an amazing end of school year celebration complete with songs and dance. They have an amazing structure set up for flexibility. There are drop in options for before-care and staying later for lunch. I really can't say enough about MELC. We are so grateful to have found this school.

We were attracted to MELC by the intentionality of their curriculum - a great mix of structure, Montessori-type play, and emphasis on getting outside. They've been teaching children for 30+ years and it shows.. every aspect of their program is done for a reason. Our experience was everything we hoped for and our son absolutely thrived in the full day (8:45am-3pm) program, with parabolic language and social development. There was also a real community focus, with (optional) events almost every month to get parents and kids together. A best-in-class program operated by best-in-class people.
