My son likes to put on a show in the morning pretending he doesn't want to stay but this is his way to have his teacher come over and hug him and give him extra attention, he's " slick" because it works every time. He is happy when I pick him up and always has something exciting to tell me about his day. I know he is in good hands at My Special Spot

My son has been in the infant room since he was 4 months old, and we couldn't be more grateful to…read morehave found such an excellent daycare. We work long hours so he's there all day (2nd kid in last one picked up), but he's very happy. The teachers are all very kind, the school is very clean, and there's lots of learning and stimulation. He hasn't been ill once (no fevers, ear aches, just the normal sniffles sometimes) which is more than I can say for any of my friends kids. This is because of the strict sanitary protocols there. They also have the best ratio of any daycare, and the teachers in his room are warm, happy, and patient women. All the teachers in general smile and seem to enjoy their jobs. I have absolutely no concerns when he is there, and he gets very excited when I am dropping him off. The school is very well run, and the owner Jeff is always there and knows all the kids and families well. There's a big outdoor play area and playgrounds, a gym area with a ballpit our son loves, a library with tons of books, and it's a nice modern building. They do lots of fun learning activities with the kids like hatching baby chicks, butterflies, zumba, yoga, and music classes. Also the price is the same as every other local daycare, but way more services. We checked them all out and are fully convinced we made the best choice with Special Spot.

Over time the staff feel like family. We have have lots of trust with them (especially during covid times) and knew that our son was not only being taken care of; he was being loved. The environment is cheerful and the classroom are very artistic with lots of crafts. They promote curiosity oriented learning and explore with textures and colors. The teacher show a genuine interest in the kids and really do love every single one of them. The teachers are always willing to work with parents, whether it is about diet, allergies, pacifiers and sleep/nap schedules, medicine. They also give parents ques on how to ensure our kids milestones are met. We get updates at the end of the week on what they are teaching them and what was the focus The director, Mrs. Janet, is doing a great job with her staff and we are excited to be part of it all

My daughter attended this place for 2 years, but I was never fully happy or felt that we were…read moretreated with the most care or respect. I was a first time mom and didn't know of another place that would be so close or affordable. I kept my daughter here, truly for the convenience of distance and price rate. However, many times I would have normal questions I would think a typical parent of a 1-2 year old can have and there were times they didn't have an answer for me. Sometimes they were not willing to accommodate our family needs, yet that's part of what they claim they stand for. Please understand that my daughter was always happy to go there because of her teachers. The teachers do the best they can, but they lack appropriate training and sometimes resources. My biggest issue was with management. From my personal experience, since I am a teacher myself and deal with parents and here management was never the most professional with me as a parent. It really hurt me that we felt pushed out. They wouldn't accommodate my schedule and didn't guarantee me a spot for my daughter. They said they would let me know in advance and never did, which led me to find another school and know about my options, because they wouldn't give me an answer. As far as academics is concerned, my daughter didn't learn much there. They would play all day, hence she was always happy to go. I never saw a real progress in her learning. The administration was never willing to accommodate a family who had already been there for 2 years. They didn't care about losing us and pushed us out. Another issue was that there was no one you can take formal concerns to. They were all extremely close at a personal level and I knew I would not be heard. I would only recommend this place for your child's care if you want them to play all day and you want good rates. But be aware if you are 5 minutes late, you will be charge per half hour. I have to be honest as I never felt my daughter was neglected or in danger, but definitely didn't get the best educational experience there. This place could be a better place for families around BR if they take a better business management approach, which they have lack of.

Five stars just doesn't feel like enough for Little Explorers Early Learning Academy - UPK…read more From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew we had found a truly special place. The staff isn't just professional and knowledgeable -- they are incredibly loving, warm, and deeply committed to every child in their care. Our daughter lights up every morning when we tell her it's time for school. That kind of joy can't be faked -- it's the result of being in an environment where she feels safe, celebrated, and genuinely loved. The teachers treat each child like family, noticing the little things, comforting them when needed, and encouraging their growth every step of the way. They consistently go above and beyond -- whether it's through thoughtful activities, creative learning experiences, or just taking the time to share updates that show how well they know and care for our child. It means the world to us to know she is not only learning and growing, but doing so surrounded by people who truly care. We're endlessly grateful to the Little Explorers team for creating such a nurturing and inspiring space. They are helping raise kind, curious, and confident little humans -- and we couldn't imagine a better place for our daughter to begin her journey.

There are also seasonal classes such as dance, gymnastics, and soccer provided on-site by outside vendors, which lets us expose the girls to different sports without eating up precious weekends or evenings. Truly a great center!!

She's very responsive to emails which makes my life as a working mom who can only email during the workday so much easier!

When we attempted to get our registration fee back we were told we're weren't charged tuition and the charge wasn't enforced as a "good faith" gesture. Pretty much you're lucky so no your $600 registration is ours. The owner was absolutely rude and snarky. The education director is cold and very rude. Make sure you ask every question you can think of because they don't ask, don't tell.

TL;DR: This is an amazing school with caring teachers. Your child will learn so much and will love…read moregoing to school. Our now 2yo daughter started at Primrose of Florham Park last summer after we relocated to the area. During a time of such transition for her, Ms. Samuels and her other teachers provided so much nurturing, love, and compassion for her. She has since transitioned into the Toddlers class where Ms. White and Ms. Santana are loving and patient with her antics AND she learns so much. Over Christmas, she came home one day and just started naming colors (at 18mo!!). She now counts as she goes down the stairs. It's clear that education truly is the foundation for everything they do and that they do it with love for each child. Lastly, I will say that in addition to her teachers, our daughter has great relationships with people at Primrose who aren't even her teachers - Ms. Cathy, Ms. Joseph, etc. To me, this shows that the culture at the school is amazing in every classroom environment. Another benefit of going to Primrose is the app they use - Procare. This may seem trivial but it's been a huge upgrade from our previous daycare. You can customize notifications to get real-time photos and updates from your child's day. And, on tough mornings, the school will send extra photos to reassure you that your little one is okay. Regarding COVID-19, the school has taken critical precautions that thus far have prevented any school shutdowns or outbreaks. It is sometimes inconvenient to keep our daughter home with a cold while we wait for a COVID-19 result; however, it gives me peace that everyone else has to do it too. Overall, we're so glad that we chose Primrose. And our daughter is too - she squeals when we pull into the school parking lot most days.

Our experience at The Learning Experience in Livingston was deeply disappointing and harmful to our…read moreson. From the beginning, it felt as though the administration attempted to force our child into a rigid, cookie-cutter mold rather than approaching him as an individual. In the 90 days we were enrolled, the concerns raised often felt excessive and out of proportion for a typical four-year-old. During his time there, our son was subjected to bullying and unkind behavior from classmates, which was not adequately addressed. He experienced daily emotional meltdowns, asked to be picked him up early every day, and grew to hate going to school altogether. He expressed feeling that the administration and staff did not like him, which was heartbreaking to hear from a child so young. Communication with us was overwhelmingly negative. Not once did a staff member share something positive about our son, despite him being described by multiple childcare professionals we trust as exhibiting entirely age-appropriate behavior. We received near-daily reports of issues that felt outlandish and unnecessarily alarming. Additionally, very few staff members used positive reinforcement or supportive intonation when speaking to him. Class sizes were extremely large, up to 25 children in his class! Perhaps most troubling was the inconsistency and insensitivity in communication. While staff spoke one way to us in person, they sent urgent-toned emails about our son during two major life events for our family, including one email sent just two days before our wedding, framing matters as emergencies when they were not. Early childhood education should be rooted in patience, compassion, and developmental understanding. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this location.

The administrators and teachers have always gone above and beyond to be transparent and problem solve. Most importantly, the kids have never felt the impact and receive outstanding academic enrichment. Specific to Covid, all I can say is that they are doing the absolute best they can and we appreciate it. They have managed multiple Covid cases with the strict guidance of the health department and brought parents along every step of the way. Personal opinions on vaccination aside, I've been impressed by their swift actions based on science and truly believe they are looking out for my son as if he was one their own. Zadie's is an awesome familial community - especially for families new to the area. I highly recommend.

He always arrives at Zadie's happy and eager to spend the day with his teachers & friends. As it relates to COVID, Zadie's has done an excellent job of keeping parents informed, and mediating any situations that need attention. It goes without saying that managing a childcare facility during a global pandemic is nothing short of challenging, and Zadie's has done a fantastic job keeping up with the ever-changing climate as it relates to COVID and keeping our children safe. We couldn't be happier that we chose Zadie's for our family!
