My daughter thrived here at first and I loved it. But at the end when she came home every day…read moresaying the teachers were being mean, yelling at, and picking on her, my gut told me she needs to be somewhere else. It started when she came home with diaper rashes so bad I could not touch her to clean her or put her in her bath water on separate occasions. They were told several times she was super sensitive down there and it only takes a second to look. Then it was the call to the Division of Child and Family Services because she had a stain on her shirt and a leaf or two in her hair. Because I missed the memo that playing outside with your child in the morning instead of shoving a screen in their face was wrong. Then it was the push to get her evaluated for every little problem. She is an only child, so she was a little late to talking but once she started, she has not stopped LOL. But there was no need for a speech evaluation and I told them that but I did it anyway because I want to do whatever will help my child grow and thrive. They nearly laughed at the end of the evaluation because it was pretty much a waste of their time, but whatever. Then it was them saying they will help with potty training and telling me every day she wasn't asking or going potty at all. And that her behavior was "out of control" and not listening to them even though on two separate occasions she came home with bite marks from another student. My daughter can be a handful, there is no denying that. Then it was them "removing" her after giving me three weeks to change a 3 year old behavior. She is not somewhere else and OH MY GOD she is miraculously using the potty, listening to the teachers, playing with the other children. It was not my child that needs to be evaluated in this situation, maybe it's their teachers or methods.

The owner is passionate about child development and the curriculum fosters a happy day of learning while maintaining a habitual routine that helps all students. The facility is state of the art and very clean, I don't want to jinx myself but my son has never been sick in the twelve months he has attended. The teachers and administrative staff are on the ball with keeping the center safe and clean. Most importantly, my son is smiling and playing everytime I pick him up, which is a testament to the environment of the center. Thank you TLE!

This is a staple in the Edison Community. The teachers are well educated and trained. All stay are warm and loving. The directors and everyone are so kind and compassionate about what they do and it is reflected in the education and experience of the students who attend this school. This is a remarkable place for you little to grow, learn and socialize. I went here back in 1989 when I was18 months old and graduated kindergarten here. I can tell you I was well prepared for first grade and was able to make the transition smoothly. My child now is attending JKCC after having to sped her infant time in a local franchise school and it is a world of difference here than it was there. The growth and friendships she has formed in just a few short months is due to the amazing staff present at this school. It is a school not just a place to put your child. As a teacher this school was an easy choice to make knowing the curriculum was aligned with Edison's curriculum too. This means the students here will be ready and have the proper documentation of their levels when they attend public schools. This school is so amazing that I've had cousins attend and my nieces and nephews as well. Your child and family will be in great hands here. And I am so excited they are opening an infant room to so that I can expand my family without worry to find another school. Oh and did I mention they are very affordable too, they're here for teaching and care not profits. That is hard to come by now. You'll be so happy and so will your kids.

I lost track of how many directors there were in the years my daughter was there. My daughter was recently diagnosed with ADHD and PTSD from an incident at the school. She started acting out in class and we were trying to get help with a doctor, however, our doctor wanted detailed written reports of each incident so she could pinpoint what was triggering the behavior. The owner kept promising reports, which are pretty standard and were always provided by the previous owners, but we never saw a single written report. With little to no warning, our daughter was suddenly expelled at the end of the school year. Since it was so late in the year, we were unable to find accommodations for her for the summer and my husband lost business due to having to care for her. The owner did not follow any of the protocol written in the expulsion guidelines. She even wrote that we were given written reports by our daughter's teachers in the expulsion letter, which was a lie. I understand our daughter was acting out in class, but we should have been given formal warnings and written reports of the incidents. The owner had no sympathy. I also voiced my concern as my daughter was being hit, which I believe was the trigger for her behavior. I was met with aggravation and defensiveness, and nothing was done about it. We went to a birthday party about a week or two after the expulsion, which included mostly kids from this school, and our daughter was clearly the one being bullied by a certain child during the party. We believe there is more to the story that was not revealed to us. In conclusion, if your child needs any extra attention or has any type of special needs, this is not the place for your child.

A school where the owner and director are not only visible and involved in the day to day happenings with the children, but are also available, approachable and ready to address any concerns you may have? A teacher who wants the best for your child and challenges him to be the best he can be? A curriculum that addresses math, reading, science, social studies, language arts etc. with creativity and fun? A home away from home where you know your child will be loved and cared for? A school that goes beyond teaching the abc's to teaching the life lessons of honesty, respect, manners, caring for others, generosity and responsibility? Sending your child elsewhere would be missing an incredible opportunity to instill a love of learning in him coupled with life lessons that will be with him forever. So, what is the only thing I regret about sending my son here? It is not discovering the Giving nest sooner! Thank you to everyone who has made this year one my son will always remember.
