They have a weekly class blog so that you know what is going on in the class. Its only been a month of school and they already learned how to do tallies, graphs, probability. Its very focused on the core academics. My son is taking the after school program so now he is learning 2 languages Mandarin and Spanish. I thought he would hate it instead he looks forward to it and comes home talking to me like hey do you know how to count in Spanish? (He learned this just after 1 week of class) They also have yoga classes and the teacher is amazing, he can't wait to show me all these poses. I have seen his confidence grow so much in the past month. In his previous school he was a very quick learner and I was worried he wouldnt be challenged and just bored. I couldn't be more wrong. They tailor the homework and work to your child and aren't afraid to push them. If you are looking at private schools, in my opinion PJS is the top tier. I toured all of them in the area, PDS, Chapin, Friends etc. and at the end I took a chance with PJS only because I loved the open space. I was worried that academically it might not have been up to par with the other private school or public schools (I live in one of the top districts in the area). I have two friends going to the private schools mentioned (Kindergarten) and PJS quite frankly raises the bar. I think it is because of the new curriculum they have been using. This is a great school. You will not be disappointed sending your child here, if I only knew then what I do now. The choice would have been a no brainer.

Princeton Junior School (PJS) is a very special place. Our son has been lucky enough to be a…read morestudent at PJS for four years. The school has helped him grow and learn, but most importantly PJS has helped him grow to love learning! In his lessons he has found a joy in discovery and growth and a curiosity that will serve him well for the rest of his life. Our PJS student tells me that "This school is the best! The teachers are all really nice, we have great lessons and projects, and we learn a lot!" The IB orientation helps to teach in a way that each individual student can get the most from the lessons. Being part of an international community as an IB school is present in the population of the school and the curriculum they teach. Princeton Junior School is not just important to our rising 5th grader. Our entire family has found a community in PJS that supports our child and all of us, that has introduced us to families that have become our friends, and that we are proud to be a part of. Our child is the most important thing in our lives, and Princeton Junior School is a place that has earned our trust and our gratitude in helping him develop and grow into a strong student and curious global citizen.

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.

Its amazing to see how they bring smiles to all the kids as soon as they enter the daycare.

My daughter went to Windsor Montessori for three years and I couldn't have made a better choice in…read moreplacing her there. She learned many different skills- academically, socially and emotionally. The teachers are wonderful to say the least, as they truly care about every child. Each teacher tends to every child individually, in an appropriate academic setting and in a manner that meets the child's emotional and social needs. My daughter grew and blossomed with every day she attended and every year that passed. I truly believe in my heart, that who she is today, stems from the years she attended this school. It is a warm and nurturing environment with the appropriate age required academic structure that parallels with an environment of warmth and kindness. An atmosphere, like the one at this Montessori School, is an intricate, impressionable and most important part of the young years of our child's youth. The time spent as young toddlers mean so much as to who they become growing into adolescents and young adults and Windsor Montessori does an excellent job at preparing our children for an amazing future. Ms. Yasmín has done an astounding job with this school, the curriculum, the teaching of self awareness; including patience and self intrigued academic skills and the necessity of learning how to play and be okay with ones self. I still and will always recommend this Montessori School to anyone I come across with a child in their pre-k years. I couldn't be happier with the decision of having my daughter attend this school. Her years there influenced, formed and created the wonderful, amazing, academically excelling child I have now (as a third grader). So, in turn, I'd like to place a very special, warm-hearted thank you to all of the teachers. And a deeply rooted, heart felt thank you to Ms Yasmín. You have indefinitely made your mark on my daughter still to this day! Always, Sasha L-P

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
