I am shocked that FG has such a low rating on here and am hoping to shed some light into how…read morevaluable this place has been to me and my family. Future Generation is the cream of the crop when it comes to childcare. They do everything in their power to make sure children are healthy, happy, and safe. Future Generation has been the leading daycare in the area throughout the pandemic by ensuring the strictest guidelines are followed so that our kids are kept safe. As a first-time parent, this has been such a challenging time, but I know that my daughter is not just safe when she's at school, she is also supported and loved by an incredible staff. Future Generation hosts so many fun events for children each week, as well as twice a week local business lunches that you can opt-in to. FG also supplies wipes and diapers which is AMAZING and two less things to think about when you're packing your child's bag for school. I have only had incredible encounters with each staff member and I know that they are continuously improving and training so that they can keep up with state curriculum and requirements to best serve the young learners at the childcare center. I noticed a lot of reviews mention how the space is cramped for children, but we have not witnessed any problem with this - in fact, the space is perfectly suited to then keep such a small teacher-kid ratio and a better view on kids.

Future Generations are Hero's in my book !!!

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.

He s clueless and shouldn't be around children at all. He inherited the business and has no idea how to run it efficiently. His poor sister even said he s not permitted to really have discussions with parents. That s his sister. Please do your research. This day care is expensive and offers nothing back. No fun activities, the outdoor equipment is old-you have to pay for lunch, etc. needless to say they will be going out of business if they continue on this path. Mark my words-I'll be back in a few months to see if they re still around.

PSA's devoted teachers supported my children throughout a rigorous academic program that included science, math, American Sign Language, social studies and fine arts. Having completed two years at PSA, my children will enter kindergarten this fall knowing they have accomplished developmentally appropriate but challenging tasks. In addition to ensuring that students achieve academic milestones, PSA teaches children to be worldly citizens and considerate members of the community. Their students are aware of a great big world behind their town but they appreciate the opportunities and worth within reach. Procedurally, PSA is an efficient business that effectively handles business matters. Its school policies are reasonable and we appreciated their efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of its students, teachers and staff. PSA and its community of students, parents, teachers and administrators will always be a part of our lives. When I cried at graduation (truth), they were tears of joy that my children were thriving and simply, growing up. But they were also tears of appreciation and gratitude for PSA. Our entire family is prepared for kindergarten and beyond!
