My child THRIVES in this school! They have camera's so you can check on them throughout the day & they send pictures as well! One time they were running, tripped (as small kids do) and hit their head on the side of the sink ( I watched all this happen on the camera) within SECONDS, they had them up, applied an ice pack and I was called not even 2 mins later. They have 2 separate playgrounds for the smaller & bigger kids, as well as a little indoor playground for the days that it's too cold or rainy to go outside! They do so many fun event weeks AND they have their own chef, so you don't need to worry about feeding them, Breakfast, Lunch or Snacks :D (unless they are not eating solids yet, then you need to bring in your own) If you ever have any concerns, you can always call them and talk. Ask them how their day will go or their schedule. You can tell the whole place feels like one big family and all the children seem so have so much fun :)

My kids have been enrolled in Kiddie Academy Yardville for more than three years. Never had a…read moreproblem with any teachers before this incident. On May 2, 2024, I received a call from the Director Assistant regarding my 3-year-old son's behavior. She said that my boy is being too "aggressive," with the other kids. (My son turns 3 on April 23, 2024, and for some reason, they still have not upgraded him to the next classroom, so keeping this in mind he is still with kids 1-2 years old. Anything that he does will look extreme since he is the biggest one in that classroom). After she told me that, I said okay, I will sign the document picking my kids up from school. Arriving there, I stopped at the bus (waiting area) and called the kids out. My bigger daughter wanted to keep playing and were not coming out. My youngest son saw this and grabbed my daughter by the hair. After I saw this, I immediately took my son's hand and corrected him, as I told him what he did was wrong. After that, I go to my kid's cubical to grab any work done for the day. I went to my youngest child's classroom and the teacher came behind me. She stepped next to me, opened a cabinet and took out a behavior report. She said to me with an attitude, "You need to sign this," as she handed me the documents. I grabbed the documents and told her, "I would not sign it.. I will sign in after I read them,"(I need to read any documents they provide to me before signing them). She gets upset and goes to the door to go out of the classroom. My daughter is holding the door and my son is in the middle of the door. When she goes out she grabs the door and says loudly and with a redundant attitude towards my daughter "Excuse me!".Furthermore, she came to the others complaining about me and I went out of the classroom and stood up to her attitude and stated, "Do not ever speak to my kids like that." She started cursing me out, and we kept verbally debating.Eventually, she pushed me with both hands on my chest. After she pushed me, I defended myself. As that happened, I felt someone else pulling my hair and hitting me.Her sister and mother who works at Kiddie Academy, got involved, saying "They are my daughters" and hit me as well. All of this happened as my kids were in the middle, my youngest kid got neck abrasions and I don't know from where.I got a video from my daughter saying, "Mommy red hair teacher did this," referring to the sister. Police arrived, and they requested to see the cameras, the teachers said that where everything happens there are no cameras. Everyone that goes to this school knows for a fact that there are multiple cameras there. Everything is recorded on my daughter's phone. I started recording before entering the school to have proof that they are saying that my son is an "aggressive student.". I have already taken action with UCP and IAIU plus Hamilton Municipal Court of New Jersey. Today, May 06, 2024, we confirm that all teachers are still working while they take my kids from school. I would hope you consider this when enrolling your kids here.The owner has not called me to ask me what happened, how are my kids, or myself. This clearly reflects how they abuse their position of power and their position of not caring about the kids who were there for more than 3 years.All of this is teacher's redundant attitude towards my child and because of a "paper," keep in mind that I have always signed many papers. At workplaces, especially daycares like Kiddie Academy,situations have to be managed professionally and with care. Additionally, this serves to show how if one professor does not like you, the others are biased to not like you as well due to the close familial relationship they have. As shown above, their negligence and unprofessionalism are observed. Not only that The purpose of this is to share my personal experience and spread awareness of the things that go unseen. In essence, I hope to highlight the critical things that go disregarded and are concealed in the way of resolving matters within the faculty of Kiddie Yardville

My son has never been to daycare before and he was three going on four. once I came here to visit…read moreI instantly fell in love everybody is so caring, nice, & eager to be there. the facility is very clean, very friendly ..the kids love it there ..my son loves it there. he wakes up every morning and says hes ready to go to school. He is learning so much... how to write his name , when his birthday is... how to sing the alphabet and I'm sure many other things he just comes home and surprises me every day.. this school couldn't have been a better decision . His teacher ms.Sheri is the best. She is so patient & you can tell that she loves what she does ! That makes me feel alot better knowing he is in good hands while im at work. I'm very happy and will be sending my other kids here in the future.

Since then, he has thrived thanks to the warm, nurturing care provided by everyone at The Learning Experience - Hopewell. I have cherished every drop-off and pick-up, where smiles and a palpable sense of community greet me. We decided to start the au pair process before fully realizing the impact and quality of care here, and I only wish we had come here first. While we are committed to our current path, we hope that our son will return soon, where he can reunite with the teachers and friends who have supported his growth and development and brought us so much joy.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Crayons Nursery School. I was very nervous when my two…read moreyear old needed to start daycare, but after meeting with Mrs. Lini and her staff, I knew we had found the place for him. The classes are small, the teachers are wonderful and caring and their schedule is perfect for the age-appropriate classes. My son has flourished at this school. Before Crayons he wasn't speaking much at all, but I saw a difference in only a matter of weeks. Additionally, he has since learned his alphabet, counting, songs, and even how to write his name at only three years old! On top of that, he has developed great social skills, creative skills and Crayons staff has been a key factor in helping him become fully potty-trained. Mrs. Lini has been incredibly kind towards us and runs a fabulous daycare at Crayons. I now have a three month old baby and am getting ready to head back to work and there is nowhere else I would feel better about leaving my children! For parents looking - the facilities are clean and safe and prices are very reasonable, especially in this area. Their hours are convenient for working parents 7am - 6pm. Staff gives great updates on your kids after each day and really keeps them engaged in their activities. Crayons does fun things for holidays (my son loved walking in his Halloween parade) and offer events like professional portraits for your kids! I'm so impressed with this place, I recommend it to anyone in need of a daycare/nursery school for their children.

Run as far away from this school as you can! They are deceitful, incompetent, and worse, they put…read moreyour children at risk. The problems at this school began when the previous head of school, Mr. James, left. Since Mr. James left we have experienced the following: 1. The School LOST our child - On one occasion, our child left her classroom and the school did not know where she was. To make it worse, they never informed us about the incident and had to learn about it from another parent whose child left the classroom with my child. I was told by other parents that this was not a singular event. After the incident, the school (after refusing my request to fire the teacher) agreed to never assign that teacher to supervise my child ever again. This agreement lasted for several months until the school started assigning that teacher to watch my child again. Additionally, when I confronted the head of school about the event, he informed me that he did not tell me about the event because I was pregnant and he did not want to "upset" me. 2. TIME OUTS - My child kept complaining that a particular teacher would separate her from other kids and put her in time outs. The time outs would occur on a chair that was away from other kids. 3. TELLING/MAKING MY DAUGHTER FEEL THAT SHE IS A BAD GIRL - My child told me that a particular teacher tells her that she is a "bad girl". 4. TICKS - The playground is full of ticks. After finding two giant ticks on my child, I informed the school of the problem. They did not respond to my email or treat the playground for ticks. Since then, I have learned that other children have also come home with lots of ticks. 5. DEPOSIT - When I informed the school that I was leaving, the school told me that they would be returning my entire deposit. I believe they did this due to my experience and to deter me from speaking out against them. Well...low and behold, I never received the deposit and when I confronted the school several months after I left, I was told that they never said that they would be returning my money despite me having the emails to prove it. The school's (almost) saving grace are Ms. Puja, Ms. Savi, and Ms. Varshini, who are caring teachers. Unfortunately, the administration's incompetence and carelessness is too much to overcome. If you are interested in a Montessori education, I have heard good things about the Guidepost Lawrenceville location.

If I could give this day care (Lightbridge Academy of Plainsboro)10 stars I would!! You know it is…read morean amazing place when the kids don't want to leave at pick up time. I love that they feel as though it is their second home. The staff is incredibly friendly and sweet. One thing I absolutely love is the live cameras. I am able to check in time to time to see how they are doing as well as check into the moment path app to see the progress throughout the day. Its amazing to see how they bring smiles to all the kids as soon as they enter the daycare. Can't forget the time when my baby was crying and the infant teacher just held her for 1 second and she stopped crying. Just knowing that there are caring arms at this center!!

I do not recommend Lightbridge Academy based on my experience with their Plainsboro location. My…read morechild, who has developmental delays and feeding-related medical needs, was enrolled here. Despite multiple conversations, written documentation, and coordination with her therapists--including Early Intervention providers visiting the school--the staff consistently failed to meet her basic safety needs. On her final day, I discovered she had been given water by a teacher who was unaware of her feeding plan. My child has documented swallowing difficulties and is not permitted to drink water at daycare. I received two completely different explanations from staff: one teacher (Ms. Subarna) claimed in writing that she had not been given water at all, while another (Ms. Corrine) told me she had. After I raised the concern, the Brightwheel log was altered to remove the mention of water. This wasn't just a mistake--it was a serious communication breakdown with conflicting accounts and document tampering. Before I even arrived to pick her up, I watched via the classroom camera as my child picked up another child's water bottle, put it in her mouth, then handed it back. No adult was present at the table. She could have choked or aspirated. No one informed me of this--I saw it myself. The administrators later admitted it happened and described it as "unacceptable" and promised to retrain staff. But that's not good enough when you're talking about a child's medical safety. This was not an isolated issue. On another occasion, I watched via the cameras as my child was left unsupervised at a table with another child who had a cracker. She took the cracker and put it in her mouth. At the time, she did not eat solids and this posed a clear choking hazard. No one notified me--it was something I discovered on my own. Incidents like this were repeated and avoidable, and reflect a serious failure of basic supervision protocols. Throughout our time there, we experienced: * Staff regularly failing to follow her feeding therapy plan * Teachers giving her bottles after purée against clear written instructions * Another child sleeping on her crib sheet, and her sleeping on another child's bedding * Ongoing lack of support despite her being diagnosed with global developmental delays * Frequent turnover of teachers, many of whom were unfamiliar with her accommodations * Repeated miscommunications, lack of consistency, and disregard for therapist recommendations Even more troubling, the head teacher of the infant classroom repeatedly told me my child was meeting her milestones--despite our child receiving Early Intervention services and having a formal diagnosis of global developmental delay. After I shared the findings of her speech-language pathologist, this teacher admitted they have "more information and training for toddlers not meeting milestones," and that they "don't have much training on infants with delays." That is unacceptable. That is their job. They are entrusted with the care and developmental monitoring of infants, and this admission reveals a lack of basic preparedness and staff training that puts children at risk. When I brought these concerns to the director, Ms. Krupa, I was told there are "tons of other great schools in Plainsboro." Rather than taking immediate responsibility, I was subtly encouraged to find a better fit. That's exactly what I did. This will be documented with the state. My child should not have had to be the reason they finally decided to 'do better.' If your child has special needs, medical concerns, or requires any accommodations--I urge you to look elsewhere. I hope no other child gets hurt before real changes are made.
