My daughter (5 year, bilingual) studied so well at the Kumon center in Bergenfield. She truly…read moreenjoyed her study time with her teachers. She was doing her daily Kumon homeworks diligently (Kumon Reading and Math including Saturday and Sunday). Due to my personal preference, I did not let her to go to Pre-Ks during 2020 & 2021. As a result, Kumon was her first study time with a teacher in-person. After serveral classes at Kumon, she learned how to read and write alphabets. And, she was able to do make-her-believe play by herself in English, somewhat like Recitative. I highly recommend Kumon in Bergenfield.

My 8 years old son started with kumon on July 2022 our main issue was the Math, he would count on…read morehis fingers and takes forever solve simple subtraction problem, let alone the word problems he wouldn't know what to do with it. Then we decided to get him some help, I could actually see progress until the first parent teacher conference at school, when I was informed by his math teacher that he's one of the very few candidates to be in the schools math league. I know my son and I know that all the thanks is for kumon and for Ms Desiree who is on the top of every single detail, she is very passionate about what she does and sincerely her number one priority is the students, I actually asked her to pick up and drop off the work with out him having to go there and I was going to still be paying the same amount but to my surprise she is the one who advised against it with my son, she told me that they do that with kids that she knows they are in a certain level of academics and discipline. If you think about it she could have just let it go I'm the parent offering and its just one less student and less staff will be needed but no she thought about what's best for my son not for the business. I would definitely recommend Kumon and this specific location.

Let's start with the best thing about the place: the people…read more My tutors were really kind and patient, even when I was frustrating them with how often I get questions wrong and how often they have to explain the same things to get it through my skull. Patience is the virtue that any good teacher has, and patience is the quality that all the tutors in C2 possess. Also, when I began, I took two practice SATs on my own and on my first test in C2 and I kept scoring in the 1200s, however, when I went to C2, my scores kept on increasing, and now I am in the high 1300s to low 1400s range in only 90 hours. That's a huge improvement that this place has done on me! And most importantly: Shout out to Stephanie Rubin, someone who is always excited to help people willingly, accept people unconditionally, and encourages people enthusiastically. Thank you for your time.

My daughter went to TLE in Waldwick for a little over 3 years (from 15 months old until 4 years…read moreold). It was a rollercoaster of an experience for us so I wanted to share a very honest review and include both pros and cons for those of you looking for a daycare for your littles: PROS - Hours: Households with working parents will find the long hours at TLE extremely helpful - Food: Lunch is included with tuition and the quality/options are decent - Location: Very conveniently located in the heart of Waldwick with a large parking lot; interior space and playground are very roomy and well equipped - Cost: Very fairly priced compared to other daycares in the area - Ms Val (Toddlers) and Ms Claudia (Preppers): These 2 teachers happen to be exceptional there, and their care for and attention to the children is unmatched CONS - Staff: With the exception of Ms Val and Ms Claudia, the rest of the staff we encountered seemed unseasoned and unmotivated; pre-school in particular was a revolving door of teachers, one lazier than the next (MANY times my daughter came home saying she watched Curious George or other cartoons during the day for long periods of time) - Curriculum: As my daughter advanced there, it became increasingly clear that TLE is a daycare first and a learning center second; workbooks were repetitive and unstimulating, and again, screen time was waaaaaay overused (the TLE brand had a big marketing push over the last year, with a constant barrage of emails flooding my inbox to purchase gear or plushies for my child, and a branded cartoon called "Bubbles and Friends" quickly became a teacher substitute in the classrooms vs an occasional educational aid) - Communication: Many times, parents were notified at the last possible minute of things that were due to the daycare, what Learning Bag (ie, Show and Tell) items for the week were, etc; the app that they use was very rarely updated with important notifications in a timely manner, and sometimes entire days would go by without any photos posted - Nepotism: The 4 main leads/directors at this location are sisters, so if you ever need to escalate a situation, it's useless unless you dig and find out the names of folks at corporate (which I had to do a few times--the corporate people I spoke to though were always helpful once you could connect with them); additionally, I never once met/saw the owner, LynnAnn, in our 3 years there, which I found very odd So, all in all, decent daycare, but once your child requires more than a babysitter, I would not recommend TLE.

UPDATE: A parent I know just called me and told me the Teacher who was the one who was HIGH on…read moreDRUGS is calling people telling them this isn't true and for people to write good reviews I HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS from this incident from my phone and home cameras PLUS a text message from her saying how sorry she was ... I am MORE THAN HAPPY to share these just message me! ***They haven't had a review in YEARS (take a look at the dates it's true) .. So I'm sure they will now get some positive reviews from their friends & to be honest it doesn't faze me .. as long as PARENTS know the TRUTH on where they are sending their child*** I have been unsure of writing this review for well over a year. Years ago this school was great (I sent both of my children there) But this year I had to pull my youngest child out of that school. I had a problem there with a teacher who was on drugs (and STILL works there) .. she watched my children at our shore home (which is on the bay/water) while we were out she got HIGH on either heroin or prescription drugs (I STILL have videos and photos to prove this if this school DARES to argue).. we came home early thank GOD and my daughter who had access to our filled hot tub on our deck and the open bay ... my daughter could had fell in and died if we didn't get home when we did.. I noticed with this "teacher" when she feel off the chair holding my child I told her to go lay down (I didn't realize yet) then she put my daughter in the tub with her clothes ON with the water RUNNING... I stopped it quickly as I was getting her out of the tub she went to my little one who had a donut. She took the donut from her & began to smear it on her face. My little one began screaming & I ran to her. I asked her what did she take she began to slur her words and said "I just did a teaspoon" (so I'm believe it was heroin .. I even looked up videos on how people act and it was EXACT). then said her ex-boyfriend stopped by (but we checked our outside and inside cameras and no one showed up) then she quickly she passed out.. (again thank god we got home or my kids would be alone and her passed out) My oldest saw it all and scared the hell out of her. The girl told me the next day she was sorry that she had 8 shots of tequila (I don't even have tequila in the house & she did not smell of any alcohol) ANYWAY the school was aware of this and did NOTHING. Now ACADEMICALLY ... I just recently had my daughters new school teacher conference & she has made SUCH a progress in just 3 short months .. I was worried she might have had a learning disability it wasn't that at all it was because that school was a place to just play NOT LEARN. She did not learn ONE thing the last year she was there. The books they sent home of the children's work was never complete.. because they never did work with them. And the teachers are always swapping or getting pulled there & the classrooms have ZERO constancy or classroom management which makes the children out of control. Parents this place is a disaster .. so sad because they use to be so wonderful... & pulling my daughter was the BEST decision I could have made for her... please watch your children for their safety & learning... and most importantly NEVER let them watch ur children in your home! ***RESPONDING TO COMMENT BELOW*** ... this is beyond untrue ... when this incident happened the front desk WAS notified (the girl at the desk even told me how that teacher got similar at their past holiday party) .. they promised me they would keep her away from my daughter ... so we stayed stayed in the school because my daughter was comfortable & we've been going there for 7 years between both my kids ... there were 3 times I found her in the room with her and flipped out.. then one day my daughter was sitting in the front by the sick room when I picked her up bc this PERSON took her class outside to play (when it wasn't this teachers time to be in the playground) so my daughter was removed from playing with her friends & had to sit alone at the front desk. This teacher was then promoted to more responsibility in the school and I said I was not comfortable because she would see my daughter everyday and when I told Lynnann about it many months after she had NO IDEA of what happened ...... then Lynnann didn't return my calls or text messages but instead she pushed the responsibility of handling it to the girls in the front! Again, best decision because my daughter is now SAFE without me worrying and actually LEARNING
