I know it is difficult to leave your children in someone else's care and finding a child care…read moreprovider you can trust. but this place is such a warm and family oriented facility, that you will have no problem leaving the little ones. One of the most impressive things about this place is how well prepared the staff is to deal with all kinds of needs of the children. Staff and directors are very approachable should you have any questions or concerns. I encourage you to schedule a visit and see for yourself.

The infant room was also extremely form fitting to my infants crazy schedule. The teachers work well with each child. Each room is always clean when I walk-in in the early morning. My 7 year old stepson needed care in short notice during the holiday break and the director and staff made the process run so much easier than expected. If I still worked in the area my children would still be going to this facility! I would 100% RECOMMEND :)

He was nervous at first but very quickly made friends he talked about every day. The older students were friendly, and the curriculum is great. Lots of homework. Maybe too much tbh! Also, he used to hold his pencil funny but now his handwriting has improved with the assistance of his elementary school teachers. Now in middle school, we've been happy with the changes at the new building at the boys and girls clubs. Its also important for private schools to know that the fit is important, and we've had our experience at some in the area. I will say that we've had a great experience so far. Best of luck to others.

So far, I've been impressed by the level of sincerity and kindness of the teachers. I appreciate as a parent that students can be themselves here, but also grow their character to become responsible members of the community. When the admin send out the newsletter, I look forward to finding out who the student of the month is, how the soccer match between staff and students went, and updates of many more fun team-building activities! Thank you New Hope, for providing a safe, supportive, and intellectually stimulating environment for our children.

As a first time parent, one of the hardest decisions that I had to make was where to send my…read moredaughter to daycare. She was almost 2 when the time came and I was full of anxiety, worry, and guilt about having to leave her. I researched daycare centers and visited numerous places. I visited high-end centers like The Goddard School and yet I didn't feel like any of those places were the perfect environment for my little one. As time passed and I had to make a choice, I settled on a daycare near my home in Montclair. My daughter attended for three days before I pulled her out. When I called to check on her I could hear her crying and screaming. She would panic in the morning and literally "turn blue" as we were heading in. I felt so guilty and frustrated; I felt like the worst parent. As I began the search again, I came across Jin-A Child Care Centers' website. I called and scheduled a tour. From the moment that I drove up the hill to Jin A, I had a great, positive feeling. It is set on such a beautiful, peaceful, environment surrounded by nature and open space. The staff was very kind and answered all my questions. I just knew that this was where my daughter should go. I enrolled her and hoped for a different outcome. Sure enough, after her first day at Jin-A my daughter did great. She did not cry the second day or any other day for that matter. She genuinely appeared "happy" and "excited" to go. I felt so relieved. I had finally found the perfect daycare. My daughter stayed at Jin-A for 4 years. In all that time, I have not one negative thing to say about the school or any of its staff members. From the director, to the teachers to the aides all the way down to the janitor. EVERYONE was wonderful. My daughter thrived academically, socially, and spiritually. She was not only prepared for Kindergarten on an intellectual and academic level, but she was taught about respect, kindness, tolerance and love for others and for everything surrounding us. I am extremely pleased with the well-rounded education that my daughter received. She did extremely well in kindergarten, being placed in classes above her age level. I can sincerely say that this was because of the education she received at Jin-A coupled with our efforts as parents. I couldn't have hoped for anything better. Jin-A far exceeded my hopes and expectations as I let my daughter into the world on her own for the first time. I now have a newborn; I will be home with him until he is old enough to go to Jin-A because there is no place else that I would entrust with the care of my child. I absolutely recommend Jin-A to all parents. I can assure you that you and your child will have wonderful memories to cherish for years to come. Sincerely, Sara

My son attended this school, he needed extra help. It was recommended to us by the school director,…read moreI'll call her "J", It was recommended to us that he has an evaluation from the state to get early intervention. We did that and he qualified for some help. The day we found out he qualified for early intervention we told The Clifton Little School. The very next day we got a letter in his cubby to set up a meeting. The director "J", told me that he was a hazard and that they wanted him out of the school... he wasn't a hazard, he is active and not a robot. She made it sound like my son was a problem child and said he needed a "special school" that can handle him. Meanwhile the daily reports I got from his teacher where all good and positive. We found another school, a nice normal day care that just wants the best for the children in their school, it's the Allwood Play and Learn if anyone what's to know and they get 5 stars from me. The owner is absolutely involved, not just a check writer and she cares about our kids. The Clifton Little School was such a big let down for us, they know how to promote themselves with having Channel 12 News there for their Halloween Parade but what they don't tell anyone is their dirty secret that if your child needs a little extra help they will kick your child out of their school. My child isn't the only one this has happen to. Talking to the director of the school she makes it sound like they have a perfect school, they don't!! Don't take my word for it.

I have a completely conflicting view than the woman below me. My son was very introverted, shy,…read morewouldn't play with children or wouldn't learn a thing from me. He started there in the summer program at 3 1/2 just to get him socialized with other kids. He was nervous at first but very quickly made friends he talked about every day. They incorporated him into their sessions flawlessly. When September started, he became an excellent kid! He had new friends he now talks about every single day. The boys stop playing just to see my son walk in, some wait by the window to watch him leave, the girls love waving goodbye and telling their moms who it is. His handwriting went from horrendous chicken scratch to legible. He knows his days, his weather, seasons, emotions, he knows the letters in his name and how to recognize it when written. He knows the structure in his classroom and applies that to home. His personality has only gotten better since attending this school! Another big plus, there is a dome of Lysol doom around this building. You can smell it oozing out of the windows. The level of cleanliness has been unmatched in any of the other schools I've seen in the area! Not every school is for every child and it isn't always the teachers but sometimes how well the child blends in with the other children. My only gripe is it is a little pricey. $46.00 a day plus anything else adds up real fast. I just thank god I have family to help. One last gripe with what the person below me wrote... The kids are trained to fall in line. Where in life are we not falling in some sort of line? Work, there is a 'line' to follow. School there is a 'line'. Unless your a parent who praises your child for being carefree, unable to follow rules (which is tolerated SO highly by everyone else on this planet), you have to learn how to fall in some form of a line and structure.
