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.

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.

The classes are perfectly sized, and the teachers are attentive and very caring. We also love the large indoor play area that's available when cold weather makes the outdoor playground unappealing. This is one of the perks of the school's location in a church, which I wondered about because we are a multi-faith family and didn't want too much focus on Christianity. We've found that the school's values-based education (emphasizing loving, caring relationships and responsible citizenship) sets just the right tone.

My son just entered Kindergarten this year and I can't recommend the school enough. Great caring…read moreteachers and a very nurturing environment. 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 personally had a horrible experience with this school. The teachers were not allowed to talk to…read moreparents and there was no communication or even care for my son. My son Was treated a certain type of way and I believe he was targeted because I spoke out as a mother-as a parent there. They refused to put him with children his age and had him in the classroom with babies. I had no one I could reach out to. There was a lot of discrimination so BEWARE. I have my son in a new school and already have seen a complete difference in how the teachers and directors care for my son and for me as well. There's a lot of other schools in the area that offer care and support for your child unlike this school. I suggest stopping around.

I feel compelled to address the misinformation and baseless accusations being spread about…read moreLightbridge Academy by Lauren P. and Patty P. These claims are entirely false, unfounded, and appear to be an attempt to deflect accountability and create unnecessary chaos. The allegations lack evidence and seem to reflect their personal shortcomings rather than any legitimate concerns about the facility. I want to highlight the extraordinary care, dedication, and professionalism demonstrated by the ownership, staff, and administration at Lightbridge Academy. These individuals consistently go above and beyond to ensure the safety, well-being, and development of every child. In our case, they collaborated with external experts, including my son's grandmother (a DCF supervisor) and a regional manager from Children's Specialized Hospital, to address the emotional challenges my son was experiencing. This collaborative effort underscores their commitment to the holistic care of children. Unfortunately, the only opposition to these efforts came from Lauren P. and Patty P., who were unwilling to cooperate for the betterment of my child. It is disingenuous for them to cast blame on an organization that showed such willingness to help, especially when they themselves refused to support a united approach. For instance, they've alleged that Lightbridge Academy violated state protocols by keeping my son in a room for two hours, yet they omit a critical detail: they specifically instructed the staff not to contact his father during an outburst--even though he was just eight minutes away. Lightbridge Academy was following their directive, so any blame for this situation rests with them, not the facility. It is both shocking and disappointing that these baseless accusations are being leveled against a daycare that has shown nothing but compassion and professionalism. We maintain thorough records and evidence to refute these claims. Lightbridge Academy did everything possible to navigate complex challenges, including instances of parental alienation, manipulation, and misinformation, all while prioritizing the best interests of my son. For three weeks, my son experienced emotional outbursts, often immediately following drop-offs by his mother. The staff consistently went out of their way to support him, employing strategies like emotional redirection, personalized activities, and special accommodations to help him adjust. This level of care has been a hallmark of Lightbridge Academy throughout my son's time there--from when he was just four months old until November 2024. As someone with insight into daycare standards (thanks to my mother's role with DCF), I can confidently say Lightbridge Academy is exemplary. It is deeply unfair to see this business--one that treats every child as if they were their own--be maligned for issues rooted in parenting challenges, not institutional failings. Again thank you to Amy Speiser, Esther Sander (gifted my son a Childrens bible), Lauren Nolan and the rest of the amazing Lightbridge Academy staff for all their love, support and amazing care for my chid and other children at the facility.

To begin with, if it were possible I would give 0 stars, which is what this daycare deserves…read more Most disturbing and unbelievable is that the administrators put their hands on the child and punished him by barricading him a room for over two hours, which they later admitted was in poor judgement. REALLY????? The actions on the part of the school, which have caused the child emotional trauma, have been reported to the appropriate state agency. In terms of the educational value at this daycare, the pre-kindergarten room has two staff members who have no clue how to engage toddlers and learning seems minimal. The walls have none of the students' work displayed because they do nothing. The child is in a new setting that is nurturing and educationally stimulating.

Consider paying the money to daycare slightly more as this place is not a so called quality daycare.

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.

Each age/stage teacher has their own gifts in caring for each developmental stage and they encourage children in learning and growing new skills and abilities in an age appropriate way. There is genuine warmth and caring among all care givers as well as leadership of the daycare. A very high level of care and concern for our precious little ones balanced with professionalism and courtesy. I don't worry at all about my kids during the day while I'm working. The wonderful team of caregivers has earned my trust, admiration, respect, and love. The teachers feel more like an extension of our family than paid caregivers! Recently my sons class started sending the sweetest & most thoughtful notes home in his bag. Each one is individually written and shares a sweet observation from something my son said or did. I can't tell you how much I appreciate these! They warm my heart and it's so nice to have a glimpse into his day & development in the class! This daycare and all of their wonderful staff make such a difference in our lives, parents included! I recommend this daycare to those I know with little ones who might be interested. I don't know what we'll do when my youngest graduates from the program!
