When we moved to Montclair last August we were nervous about finding childcare. We did some…read moreresearch and discovered Elite Daycare. Ms. Jane is amazing. She's very responsive, honest, and instills confidence that our kid is being taken care of by someone who clearly knows how important even the little details are to parents and young kids. Our son transitioned up while there, so he was in two different rooms. First, Ms Betsy and Ms Sandra took care of him with all the other youngest kids. Next he went down the hall to Ms. Sue and Ms Sarah. Each caregiver was great. After the initial adjustment periods our son would run happily into "class" every morning. And when my wife had surgery and couldn't lift, Ms Jane would come out personally to carry our little guy in and out of the building (on site parking was great, by the way). Highly recommend!!!

I had high hopes for this location. I really wanted it to be nothing like the reviews said…read more Needless to say, my hopes did not become reality. The owner clearly does not invest in this center (she owns the Union location too), and this can be seen by meager playground. The playground shares space the the apartment building's indoor garage and there are 2 stationary play objects for the children. The plastic "grass" is absolutely disgusting! Without fail, my child comes home DIRTY! The classrooms are supposedly cleaned by a professional cleaning company that comes in after hours to sweep, mop, and vacuum. Today, I sat on the carpet in the Toddler room to read to my child while she was waiting her turn to be changed and I immediately stood up for fear that I would vomit from the smell emanating from the carpet. Now there's no wonder why there have already been two outbreaks of coxsackie. Overall the classrooms are poorly cleaned. You can frequently see infants and toddlers with running noses that no one is bothering to clean. Some of the "teachers" are poorly trained. Ask them if they've ever been to the company training that takes place in Florida and they will tell you, NO. And that's because the owner doesn't want to pay to send them. There was one "teacher" who quit because she had to preserve her "mental health." For many of them, this is their first job. You can drive by and see the tents peeling off one of the windows that is supposed to protected the children from the glaring sun & onlookers. The temperature in the building varies. The Toddler classroom can be an icebox while the Twaddler classroom right next door is warm. The administrators there are complacent. The entire place needs new management immediately I will try to post pictures

My son attended Buzzing Bees in East Orange for the majority of the 2019 - 2020 school year.  Below…read moreare a list of pros and cons: Pros: I absolutely LOVED all of his teachers.  His first teacher was kind, supportive, understanding, and supported my son's transition to daycare from home-based care.  His second classroom was the same.  Both of his teachers were caring, understanding and sincere.  My son even developed lasting friendships with his peers! He learned so much in the time he spent there, prior to Covid-19 lockdown.  We will miss his teachers dearly! Cons: The administration at this site is in need of increased professionalism.  A lot of communication has gray areas and is done vaguely, leading to miscommunication, misunderstandings, and tense conversations with the owner.  We have since decided not to return to the center but the manager has decided to keep our deposit, despite our child not attending since the state-wide shut down or reopening.  We clearly spoke about removing him from the roster and that he would potentially have to be on a waitlist upon return because a spot WOULD NOT be held.  We were completely okay with that risk.  Unfortunately, she started singing another tune when we decided not to return and is in turn, holding the deposit hostage. I am extremely disheartened that this was our final moment and experience with the center.  His teachers were amazing educators and individuals.  If I recommended Buzzing Bees of East Orange, NJ to you, I would say please be prepared to communicate and stand up for yourself frequently because the manager will switch things up to her benefit and to make sure she keeps as much money as possible, in any situation- just or unjust. Ms. V- please feel free to respond - I welcome your response.

A Wonderful Experience…read more I can't say enough wonderful things about working with Shanotte and her nanny agency! From the very beginning, Shanotte was incredibly supportive, professional, and truly went above and beyond for me.

I'm so happy and grateful to have been placed with such a wonderful family. It has been such a positive experience, and I truly appreciate all of the time, effort, and care Shanotte put into making this opportunity possible. Thank you, Shanotte, for everything you've done for me.
