We love this place. I can attest to what everyone else said in their positive reviews. Always had…read moreopen communication with everyone there. Great curriculum. Great caring people. Always clean, smells good. We've been to Young Ideas, Children's Wold Academy, St Anthonys Study Hall, which suited my needs for different reasons at different times, I wouldn't say anything bad about them but my favorite by far is The Learning Junction. I really feel like they are the best. My 1 year old, 7 year old, and 10 year old would say the same.

My daughter went to The Learning Junction Day Care in Port Reading since she was 11 months old…read moreuntil she graduated kindergarten. I must confess that I was a nervous wreck at first, but once I started to know everyone there and started to notice how much they really care for the chikdren I realized that they go beyond and above to exceed parents's expectations academically and in every other aspect. They are respectful yet friendly and professional, caring and highly dedicated to what they do. My husband and I will forever be grateful for their service, great foundation and great experience. I highly recommend it... Best day care in town!

Please don't base your decision off of one review. My son has been with St. James since 2020 and we…read morehave nothing but wonderful things to say about our family at St. James. No one wakes up chipper like a unicorn floating on a rainbow. I don't know what world that person lives in but it is life. Everyone is either happy/sad, it is life. The teachers are amazing. I had trouble potty training my son when he first enrolled at the age of 2 and the teachers were beyond helpful. Probably more than my parents (lol). My son had to be potty trained prior to Pre-K classes. He had a couple accidents here and there and the teachers helped him through it, physically and emotionally. My son comes home with crazy funny stories and loves everyone, classmates and teachers. He has learned so much being at St. James, even I questioned if his speed of learning was normal. :) I am not a religious person but his grandparents are. The teachers taught him mannerisms, how to pray, how to physically act in church, and etc. I cannot be thankful enough and grateful for the staff members. They are wonderful, amazing, and delightful to be around. My son adores his teachers so much he sometimes talks about not wanting to leave their side when he gets older. I would definitely enroll my second child in this school when I have another. Again, please don't let one persons bad experience/review make you from walking away from this gem. The school may be a little older but I find it okay. It gives it character. The school itself is very refreshing because it reminds me of when I went to pre-school. I personally love the SJ family and refer everyone i know who lives in this area to this school.

I've been so disappointed since enrolling my child…read more I was excited because I've heard great things about their program but unfortunately some of the staff is rude and judgmental. Being met with attitude when dropping off and picking up your child is unacceptable, especially when your child goes into hysterics when you are trying to leave. My crying child is a true indicator that something isn't right. Unfortunately we will be looking elsewhere for childcare. My advice: 1) Get a younger staff more accepting of 2 working parents. 2) Change your policies so parents are not stuck with paying a monthly bill even if their child doesn't go. On a positive note- Maggie is lovely. She's truly is a pleasure and so kind.

Teachers have been there a long time and the small school makes it easier for the kids to get more individual attention. Summer camp included lots of children's shows and fun educational activities.

What a wonderful school! I've been there several times.

The ambience of the school is quiet/calm as the children are fully engaged. The teachers moves them from show area to class with easy. With No down time for boredom or frustration, as lunch was already served. No idle hands or minds in this school. Amazing school!

Overall my son only attended maybe 4 months because I felt he could receive a better education…read moreexperience in a more supportive environment. (kindercare Clark is a much better fit) The building itself was kept clean and in order. I did however find the classrooms to be small and restrictive for two reasons: age of busy little students and class size number. The classes seem to have about 10-12 students in a very small room all day. Some may think it's intimate I viewed it as suffocating. While I did find some teachers to be nice, I found many to be fake nice. Smile at you but scream at the kids. Mind you the children are 3-5 years old. I believe they use times excessively for this age group, they use write ups excessively for this age group, they do not provide enough activities, and I felt they were always treating black boys harshly when I was around. They have one teacher I believe her name is Mary who was terrible to toddlers screamed at them from drop off to pick up. I stayed and caught marry yelling at my son as soon as she thought I left . Chastising babies as if they understand her logic. I heard her berating children. She also has a bluelivematters sticker (mind you I have never seen a Blue human) in a place with many black children and teachers which to me directly says black lives do not matter. I spoke to the director about the teachers and the use of 10 minute or more time outs on 3 year olds. Terrible way to treat little ppl. Pay more and go somewhere else.

It truly feels like we are dropping our child off with a family member. We thank Busy Bee for making two worried parents feel at ease and reassured every step of the way. From the Director to all of the teachers we have been impressed. You are making the wrong choice if you go elsewhere!
