If you're looking for a school that's "not just daycare," please, look no further!

Tours are offered daily and all throughout the day to accommodate working parents. I urge you to schedule your tour today!

We enrolled our daughter in the Nido classroom (infant) at Guidepost Kendall Park at the tender age…read moreof 4 months. As first time parents, we were extremely nervous to put our infant in daycare. We were new to the area and selected the school because it was within a 13 min drive to our home. We had no idea what to expect and just prayed that everything would work out. From day 1, we were struck by the remarkable level of care and attention provided by the teachers, known as "guides." These guides have shaped our daughter's early life with their boundless patience (with us), kindness, and genuine devotion to each child's unique development -- (Shout out to Ms. Vijaya, Ms. Michelle, Ms. Manisha, Ms. Fozia). Along with all the extensive training they go through, most of the guides are parents to young children themselves. They were able to help us navigate being first time parents and what to expect with our daughter's milestones, etc. During pickup, they would say, "Charlotte looks like she is ready to start walking in the next week or so" and like clockwork, she started walking. I would have never known the signs of readiness without the help of the knowledgeable guides.  The transparency and responsiveness of the administrators, Dr. Ali (Head of School) and Ms. Stephanie (Assistant Head of School) has been a constant source of reassurance for us. Dr. Ali and Ms. Stephanie know everyone's name (parents included) and the goingabouts in each classroom. We also regularly see them playing with the children because they genuinely care about the students.  As for the "montessori philosophy," I just thought it was another gimmick. But I was wrong! Our daughter's time at Guidepost Kendall Park has been marked by independence, curiosity, and a love for learning. Each day she comes home having learned a new skill (e.g., completing complex puzzles, drinking out of a tiny cup on her own, knowing how to put her toys away, doing the hand motions to "the itzy bitzy spider," etc.). I know she did not learn that stuff from us and I believe that not all daycares have the structure in place that enables children to learn these skills. To sum it up, Guidepost Kendall Park has given our daughter the best possible start in life, and for that, we're immensely grateful. Unfortunately, we are moving out of state and have to leave Guidepost Kendall Park at the end of the month. We will be transferring to another Guidepost school (which Dr. Ali and Ms. Stephanie helped facilitate). We can only hope the new school will be as great as the Kendall Park school.

My son has gone to TLE Monmouth junction a few times previously and always came back extremely…read moreunhappy and clingy. We always attributed this to separation anxiety. Today, we took him to TLE for the last time ever. He was only there for half a day, however he came back with a bruise on his neck, a large bruise on his forehead and small red dots on his face from crying so hard (something he has never experienced before no matter how hard he cries) My wife picked him up and no one was able to explain to her what happened to him. I then went back with him to find out what happened and I was told he probably banged his head on the door. Later I received a phone call from his teacher explaining that he fell from a chair and hit his head and she had to put ice on it. No incident report was filed, no phone call was made to us (even though we called during the day, clearly concerned about him and were told he's doing wonderful). I feel so guilty for taking my son there and wish I had trusted the feedback I thought I was receiving from him. I know kids will always get hurt. However my reason for never going back is how little they appeared to care. I can't trust them to do enough to prevent injuries and I can't trust them to respond appropriately once an injury has occurred

However, this was the only place that gave us a similar vibe like the other place he was at. Upon meeting Ms. Jessica (the prior director) - it felt as if we had known her for a really long time. She really sold us. Throughout our time here, we've been able to communicate any observations and concerns without any issues. They celebrate all the holidays and it makes you feel like you're part of an BIG family. They also have special themes throughout the year. It's not that big of a daycare so you really get to know everyone working there and start to become familiar with all the other parents and their kids. I do wish they still had their gym but they are currently using it for the North Brunswick public school Pre-K. Otherwise, quality education with lots of structure and every age has a cricculum no matter what age.

If I Could Give Kiddie Academy of North Brunswick More Than 5 Stars, I Would…read more I don't normally write reviews this long, but after our daughter's preschool orientation today, I felt compelled to share our family's experience with Kiddie Academy of North Brunswick. This isn't based on one visit--our daughter has been part of the Kiddie Academy family since she was 14 months old, and our younger son now attends as well. When it came time for our daughter to transition into preschool through the township, keeping her at Kiddie Academy was incredibly important to us. Thankfully, Michele from the township helped make that possible so she could remain at the school she already knows and loves. As two full-time working parents who depend on before- and after-care, having a place where we genuinely trust the people caring for our children is priceless. If staying at Kiddie Academy hadn't worked out through the township, we honestly would have continued paying privately rather than move her. That's how strongly we feel about this school. Our son only started last week. This morning, my wife and I arrived around 8:10 AM, well before the 9:00 AM orientation, because we wanted time to speak with his teacher about how he was adjusting. One thing we love is the camera access. We've seen that our son is understandably having a difficult time adjusting to a new environment, but we've also watched how incredibly patient, loving, and attentive his teachers have been. Watching someone comfort your child when you aren't there tells you everything about the people you've trusted them with. And then there is Ms. Jay. In such a short time, she has become his friend, comfort, and protector--and apparently sometimes his preferred parent . Last week, he actually wanted Ms. Jay instead of me! As a father, you can't be offended; you appreciate how safe and loved your child must feel for that bond to develop. Ms. Ashleigh, the Director, is equally exceptional--sweet, patient, professional, and someone who treats these children almost as if she is a second mother to them. You can tell this isn't simply a job for her. Dr. Rick Burghli, the owner, has created something special. He goes far beyond what I'd expect from the owner of a childcare center. He holds events for children and families, introduces us to his own family, and makes parents feel like we're part of the Kiddie Academy family. Some of the experiences they create genuinely feel like a little Disney experience for the kids. And I cannot leave out Mrs. Abeer and the food! The woman is fantastic. Our daughter actually craves her meals . When your child comes home excited about what the school chef made, they're doing something right! I also want to mention something from today's orientation because reviews should be fair and based on firsthand experience. We were physically there before orientation began. During that time, we understood staff was waiting for another family experiencing an issue completing the township's registration/medical clearance requirements. From what was explained at the school, these were township requirements, not rules Kiddie Academy simply decided to impose. Despite the situation, the Academy offered to accommodate the family separately with a private tour and, when that didn't work out, another opportunity to reschedule. I won't speak for another family's experience because I wasn't part of their private conversations. I can only speak to what I personally witnessed and our family's years of experience. What I witnessed was a school trying to follow required procedures while still offering alternatives to accommodate a family. That is consistent with the Kiddie Academy we have known for years. We've recommended Kiddie Academy to multiple friends. Some chose Dr. Rick's East Brunswick location because it was closer, while others joined us in North Brunswick. I would never recommend somewhere to friends for their children if I didn't completely trust that place with my own. No childcare center, teacher, director, parent--or child--is going to have a perfect day every day. What matters is the culture, how my children are treated when I'm not there, whether they're safe, loved, learning, and whether the people responsible for them genuinely care. After years with Kiddie Academy, I can confidently say the answer to all of those questions is yes. To Dr. Rick, Ms. Ashleigh, Ms. Jay, Mrs. Abeer, the teachers, and the entire Kiddie Academy of North Brunswick team: thank you for loving our children, caring for them, teaching them, feeding them (apparently better than we do ), and giving two working parents peace of mind every day. You don't just operate a daycare or preschool. You've created a community our children consider a second home--and we're incredibly grateful to be part of it.
