When I bumped into a coworker at Jenn's Junction and she told me that her daughter LOVED the place it was a no-brainer. I immediately registered my twins. Since Day 1, I have been happy with that decision. The work ethic is apparent of not only teachers but especially the staff. Ms Anita and Ms Jenn are super accommodating, loving, flexible, enthusiastic, etc etc etc. In addition, when my daughters had trouble acclimating in the beginning, they made it a point to walk them down to their classroom and were super hands-on. One day Ms Anita heard my daughter saying she had a bad day and she immediately walked down the hall to ask her why and comfort her. I could go on and on and on. The children's days are filled with writing and reading and puzzles and hands-on activities, as well as yummy snacks and lunches and nap time! All in all an A+ according to me! oh and I should also add that whenever I email Ms Jenn she is on it. She responds fast and is ready to answer any questions or give me feedback. Love love love! Nice to know my daughters are in good hands when I drop them off and head to teach myself!

Having said that, I needed a place that would give my daughter, even a quarter of the attention, love and care that I give her. After meeting and touring this newly renovated, State-of-the-Art center, I knew that this would be the place that I could leave her confidently. The Director, Patty and the Assistant Director, Joan are both very competent, charismatic, approachable people. I have always been greeted with a smile and a positive attitude which is very important for a child's learning environment. I also judged the center by observing the relationship between staff and child. Every child that I encountered knew both the director and assistant director by first name and the relationship between them and each child was very present. I also know that some staff members have been working there for well over 10 years, which also shows that it is a great place to work. I never had one negative incident here. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PALISADES CHILD DAY CARE CENTER !!!

Next day comes and I see the same thing happening over and over again. The kids at this school are not safe. I have recorded videos of neglect and can share them with anyone who is considering or currently sending their kids there. The teachers will make sure that the kids "survive" and don't kill each other/themselves but you won't get anything more out of this place. The teachers are rude and unfriendly, whenever I tried to talk to them they would be very sassy and short. Don't be fooled by the affordable cost of the school. You get what you pay for.

I would not recommend this daycare based on my family's experience. From the moment I toured the…read morefacility, I had concerns. During the tour, I witnessed a teacher raising their voice at a 2-year-old, which immediately left me questioning the environment and the level of training provided to the staff. I know some teachers can give tough love I gave it the benefit of doubt. My biggest concern came after my 3-year-old attended. I was informed by a staff member that he had made a sexual gesture or comment. As his parent, I know the behavior they were referring to was simply him picking his nose and putting his finger in his mouth--a gross but very typical behavior for a 3-year-old the other teacher even came out as I was extremely concerned to say it was innocent. The teacher accusing my son attacked me none the less at pick up not even a hello. The situation was handled in an extremely unprofessional manner, and I was shocked that such a serious accusation was made instead of approaching it with appropriate understanding of normal toddler development.What was equally disappointing was the lack of communication afterward. After this incident was reported to management, neither the director nor anyone from administration reached out to check on my child, discuss the situation, or address my concerns. That level of follow-up and accountability was completely absent. In my opinion, the facility also appeared unclean, and the overall professionalism of the staff did not inspire confidence. After this experience, I chose not to send my son back and enrolled him elsewhere. The difference in professionalism, communication, and care has been night and day. I also encourage parents to review the daycare's inspection history and any licensing violations through the New Jersey child care licensing records before making a decision. It's important to do your research and make an informed choice about where you entrust your child. Every child deserves to be cared for by patient, well-trained professionals in a safe, clean, and nurturing environment. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here.

The amount of efforts put in to make kids feel special is something beyond my imagination. I highly recommend other parents in the area for their little ones. I promise you will have no regrets. 100%

Her sincere understanding of early childhood development completely shines through. Her dedication and warmth made such a difference. The school has a cozy, close-knit vibe, which is another reason we love it. There always seemed to be more than enough teachers present, far beyond the typical "ratio" of 12 or 15 kids to one teacher that you see at other schools. Knowing that the staff aren't stretched too thin gave me so much peace of mind. Every teacher who has ever greeted me has done so with a genuinely lovely smile. We've tried more expensive private schools, but they didn't compare to the experience we had at this school. Very grateful for this start.

My daughter attended this daycare for 4 days (Clifton location). This daycare is very unorganized,…read morethe caregivers are not professional and don't seem to be experienced, some don't seem to love kids or just persons that you can trust with your kids specially with infants. They make you fill out so many forms about your babies schedule and instructions to just do whatever they want, feed them when they want as well as changing their diapers. They would put products on my baby's skin without my authorization. If you call during the day to see how your child is doing, they would get annoyed and give you attitude. All they want is money, don't let them trick you with the security systems and nice daycare, they do not care about the kids. All of the staff look unhappy and not wanting to do their jobs. I DO NOT recommend this daycare to NO one. Don't trust them specially with vulnerable infants. My experience was awful, I gave them time to put their shit together and spoke to everyone, even the director, to avoid writing this review and having to switch daycare. I think I trusted this facility way too much and had very high expectations, this is why now I'm so disappointed. My baby's first day when I picked up my 3mon old baby her pants were all wet of pee, my daughter was left alone in a corner awake in a swing far away from the other kids and unattended by the teachers, when I grabbed her she was freezing, the air conditioner was too low so when I carried her she was shaking, she was only given 2 bottles of milk during the full 8 hours that she was there (my baby eats a lot) I told them her eat schedule and wrote everything down on a form they provided, she usually eats every 2 hours and even before. When I saw her pants wet and felt how cold she was I asked the teacher (Jayda/Jayra whatever her name is) her answer was "well I just changed her diaper!" (with a nasty attitude) I replied by showing her my baby's pants so she can notice the wetness on it (she never made eye contact) she proceed with grabbing a tablet and slamming it in front of me to show the times she was supposedly changed but that doesn't really means she was changed on time cuz she can document what ever she wants on there and not necessarily be done. I was so irritated that I did not react any other way then just grab my baby and leave the center with my eyes full of tears. After I got home I called and spoke to the manager (Ashley I believe is her name) the director (Kimberly) was also aware, supposedly everything was gonna change but I was already concerned about my daughters safety and treatment. The next day that teacher (Jayda/Jayra) wasn't in my baby's classroom but the teachers there were still not following my baby's schedule, they were not giving the baby her bottles on time, they would always put the excuse that baby was sleeping. I also took my baby some sleepers so she can stay warm in her classroom since it was so cold in there but they would take it off and lose her socks.The third day when I went to drop her off, I went in the classroom and I waited almost 10 min for the teacher to go inside the classroom to take my baby so I can rush to work but she was too busy gossiping with another teacher in another classroom. Every time I use to go drop her off or picked her up, there was a different teacher which didn't know anything about the instructions I had gave to the previous teacher, their communication skills were horrible. This is not a place to trust, it's full of unprofessional and poorly trained staff that are only there for a paycheck and not necessarily because they like kids.
