If you are looking for a place to send your child to daycare, look no further. This is easily the…read morebest daycare my child has ever been. The Wonder Years checks all the boxes you could want or need. Their staff are more dedicated and love their jobs and it shows. The teachers here are like a family. I trust them because I know they genuinely care about each child and show love to them while developing and teaching at the same time. The facility itself is super clean, and I have been to two daycares/schools in Westfield, and this is by far the cleanest and most sanitary of them all. The children are all wonderful, it's a safe environment, and they even have a great outdoor playground for children of all ages. They also make the environment a positive atmosphere that I honestly believe will allow my child to be excited to be in school and learn. My daughter has also come home with so many fun projects to show us. I truly could not think of anything The Wonder Years does not offer in the growth and development of my child. I am so thankful and happy that we found the Wonder Years.

Our son has been at The Wonder Years Academy since Dec 2018. From the first trial day he spent…read morethere I knew we made the right choice. He has been in two different rooms so far and both of his main teachers have been/are wonderful. We do early drop off in the morning and everyone who is with him in the morning is very sweet. The director is kind, caring, and very knowledgeable. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure the kids and parents are happy. I have noticed so many positive changes in my son's development since he started attending. They encourage/follow what you do at home which makes it easier for the kids. The facility is clean and spacious. As a mom, there is nothing better than knowing your kid is happy every day, even though you can't be with them.

I've been a member for about 4-5 years and can report both good and bad…read more The good: Great community vibe, staff are all very friendly and want to help. My son was in the pre-K and K summer camp for the past two years and loved it (but summer 2020 might be challenging - see below). The main exercise facilities (workout equipment and gym), as well as the pool are in great shape. The bad: 1. They don't have enough swim instructors - for the past two sessions we couldn't get my son into a swim class even though we tried to sign up on the day registration opened. I'm getting furious that we're paying more than $100/month for the opportunity to not get lessons because we forgot to set our alarm to 5:00 am on a Saturday. 2. As noted by other reviewers the locker rooms are in bad shape. In particular the showers in boys' locker room are terrible - they flood all the time and EVERY TIME someone turns a shower on or off every other spigot goes from boiling to freezing, or vice-versa. I complained about this to the staff over a year ago and nothing has been done. 3. For this summer we're debating whether to send our son to another camp because the main building will be largely closed, so they're moving the camp to a local school and then busing the kids back to the Y for swim class. I'm sure they have their reasons and are doing the best they can but based on the published schedule it appears kids will spend about hour/day being schlepped back and forth - that adds up to almost a week's worth of camp if you add up nine weeks.

The staff is very friendly Great facility to exercise and…read moremeet knowledgeable instructors

Tiny Toes Preschool And Day Care - Full cast on leg Femur fracture

I do not recommend this daycare at all! They gave me back my son with a spiral femur FRACTURE…read moresaying they didn't see what happened. They just found him standing and crying. People from Child Services investigated and were very suspicious. We'll never know what happened because there're no cameras and my son can't testify (he's 2 years old and barely speaks). He had to wear a cast on his leg and belly for two months, he couldn't walk, he couldn't sleep well, he got extremely constipated due to lack of movement and one leg is now shorter than the other one. You'd be better off keeping your child at home!

This was my first week back to work after being on maternity leave, and the ladies at Tiny Toes…read moremade it much less stressful for me. I was so nervous Monday to bring my baby to daycare, and now by Friday, I am not anymore. Of course, I miss him, but I know he is in good hands. I get pictures and updates texted to me during the day, which also is a big help to put my mind at ease. They have been so wonderful with my baby, and he is all smiles when I bring him in. The rates are also very reasonable, which was important to me as well. Zee, Fariya, and Jill are so great! They are good with all the kids there, and the place is so clean. I strongly recommend this place to all moms for their child, especially if you are a new mom like me, and want to make sure you precious newborn is well taken care of. Feel free to message me with any questions.

Both of our children attended Cradles for years and we couldn't be more pleased!…read more We moved to Westfield from Brooklyn when our son was almost two and I was pregnant with our daughter. We both worked in the city and Cradles was the only place with hours that worked for us- so we kind of chose them by default. But I am SO GLAD WE DID! It seems like yesterday that I was very emotional leaving my tiny eight week old daughter at daycare. She's just graduated from kindergarten- she was at Cradles all the way through. Today she is confident, happy, loving, a fantastic reader and she has a real love of learning and zest for life. All of this was nurtured and encouraged at Cradles. Our son was the same, completely happy and ready for 1st grade after his time at Cradles. Cradles truly feels like family- there is very low teacher turn over. There are animals in the rooms- frogs, hamsters, ginea pigs and for years the world's sweetest bunny, Bun-Bun. The thing that always made me know my kids were in the right place was that there were many, many long days when I would drop the kids off at 7:30 am and pick them up at 6:30 pm feeling very guilty- and then they would NOT WANT TO LEAVE. Incredible. They had put in an 11 hour day and wanted to stay longer. My only regret is that the fabulous new location will open this fall and my kids will be too old to enjoy it! :)

My daughter started attending Cradles to Crayons around March/April, and we've had a wonderful…read moreexperience. The staff is caring, attentive, and truly made us feel at ease from day one. One of the things I really appreciated was the camera access to my daughter's classroom--it gave me peace of mind being able to check in throughout the day. Not only was the quality of care excellent, but Cradles to Crayons was also one of the most affordable options we found in Union County. That balance of affordability and trustworthy care is hard to come by, and I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their child.
