The staff at CHS is horrendous I went for only a year, got put in there disciplinary school with lies of me coming back full time. The head of the child study team told me I would come back for two more classes every marking period and then decides out of no where to have a break from chs and be full time at the disciplinary school before coming back FOR ONLY ONE CLASS each time (lets just say they wanted me to screw up). I had to finish highschool at Saint patricks to get an actual diploma and finish full time under a primary school program. The faculty at the disciplinary school was more then helpful in setting my head on straight though, really good people there. The highschool staff does not have your child's best interest in mind and focus on what will make their school look better instead. They never let me take electives pertaining to graphic design which I now have to take in college, because they told me thats not what I needed even though it's my major now.... lmao yup this place sucks, if you're child is not a stereo typical suburban type and shows any form of individuality they will give your kid a hard time.

My mom and dad were married here 76 years ago in 1940. Ever since then except for times away on…read morevacation, it has been their Parish. Even today now that my mom at 100 cannot make it to the church, St. Michael's comes to her. On Sundays mom can watch mass on Cranford's cable TV 35, Eucharistic Ministers are available to bring Communion to our home for her. Through the years St Michael's has kept with the times according to directives from the Vatican. These changes, some of them physical, have not changed the basic modified Romanesque architecture. The priest will come to the home to administer the sacraments. Moreover weather you are a Parish member or a visiting guest, St Michael's feels like home. This is due to the welcoming nature of the clergy on down to the young people who volunteer their time to help out.

I found this on the website on approved daycare centers registered with the state that have active…read moreand current licenses. I called to check them out over the phone and get a feel for them. I was instantly pleased when they answered with a very happy and energetic voice! The owners name is Nancy and she is an absolute doll! She asked me when I'd like to go in and look at the center to see what they do and how they interact w the kids. When I got there I found that this day care is in a house! How awesome! The kids won't feel as if they are in "school" exactly because it was something that my son was definitely not ready for. It still has that family feel to it. The parking lot is in the back on the center. It had a yard for the kids to play in with plenty of toys. I went inside and I soon as I walked in I can feel the energy. The not and laughter of the kids was calming to me. Nobody was crying out sad. Nancy has two assistants that help her throughout the day. Well Nancy and I sat down and she gave me all the information about the center. The prices were the most reasonable than any other reputable place on the area with the same atmosphere. I decided to send my son here. He ended up going for about 3 years until he started kindergarten. My son did not want to stop going!! I have made lifetime friends here. Nancy and I are still friends. One of her teachers became one of my best friends. And my son made a great friend. His friends mom is also a good friend that I made there. We still visit from time to time and send cards and pictures every year. This center will quickly make you feel like family. My son stopped going the years ago and he still wants to go visit all the time. I never had any problems here. This place is top notch as good is it gets!!!

Miss Jessica and Stephanie are caring, great teachers, full of new ideas for the kids. You can see that they love what they do and they care for our children. They are both attentive not only to the children but also to the parents and really do what they can to insure follow through between house / school behavior which is awesome!

Price wise , they are really reasonable for the service provided. From outside it does look like much , but please do not hesitate to call in , you will not regret it !!!! We are moving and so we will have to switch daycare next year but will always remember dearly our Discovery Child Care family :)
