I went on a tour of this place over the summer. My then 15 month old absolutely loved it. From the…read moresecurity system in place to the level of attention the staff paid to the children, this place was stellar. My daughter literally just sat in with the kids. And even played in the gated playground. I really liked this place. It is really difficult to find a place you honestly and completely trust to care for your child. Maybe no such place exists. But this was close. I just can't afford $1400 a month. That's why I took a star. The middle class should be able to afford a place like this without risking foreclosure or eviction.

When we moved to Montclair last August we were nervous about finding childcare. We did some…read moreresearch and discovered Elite Daycare. Ms. Jane is amazing. She's very responsive, honest, and instills confidence that our kid is being taken care of by someone who clearly knows how important even the little details are to parents and young kids. Our son transitioned up while there, so he was in two different rooms. First, Ms Betsy and Ms Sandra took care of him with all the other youngest kids. Next he went down the hall to Ms. Sue and Ms Sarah. Each caregiver was great. After the initial adjustment periods our son would run happily into "class" every morning. And when my wife had surgery and couldn't lift, Ms Jane would come out personally to carry our little guy in and out of the building (on site parking was great, by the way). Highly recommend!!!

We know that our daughter is always supported and loved, and she has adored her teachers in each of the classrooms she has entered. The school has a good balance of learning and play, and as our child has moved into the toddler wing, there are more and more interactive activities for her to do. The leadership builds community within the families and really loves when they are involved, and they are also communicative about issues/changes to schedules, etc. We have had few problems, but when something comes up, the issue is handled right away. One of the things that we love is the diversity within the school and the celebration of so many different holidays. We get to share some of our traditions and traditions we get to learn about the other students', which is something that we had been looking for in a school. We are so so happy that our child is at Meadows, and we look forward to our continued relationship with her school!

My niece came home and told me that she was eating a slice of bologna for lunch. That doesn't sound to healthy to me. I have even called a few times to ask questions and there was no one to answer the phone. I was completely taken aback by the owners way of speaking to people. It is definitely not somewhere I would suggest sending your children by any means. Such a terrible experience!

LOL! They have cameras in every classroom so you can see what is happening all day. It is a service through WatchMeGrow. Everything there is brand new, from the toys to the cabinets and cribs. Staff is beyond friendly! Jessica mans the front desk and is always friendly even in the wee hours of 6:30AM haha! Ashley is the director of the place. She is also super friendly! My kid is in the 1 year plus room, and the teacher there, Esmeralda, is wonderful! They do a great job of interacting with the kids all day long. The kids come home exhausted!!!!!!! The kids run around destroying it all, and the teachers run behind cleaning up what they can. They feed them breakfast around 9am, then lunch at 12, and a snack in the later afternoon, but you can pack more in their bags and if the teacher sees them hangry, they will give them the snack. They change their diapers every 2 hours no matter what, and more often if they get a whiff haha! The teachers really care. The teachers do as many activities with them as possible, from coloring to painting, and even going outside on their enclosed playground. All in all, if you need a place to watch your kid, this place is stellar! From super attentive staff to super clean facilities, this place is the best. You should rest assured that your kid is in good hands here.

When we 1st began looking for daycare/schooling for our kids it was nerve racking to say the least…read more Fi ding The Learning Studio was one of the best disoveries for our children. Pricilla and her school is well run, structured and has provided both our 3yr and 1yr old with the love and attention they both need. Recently they have proven to us over and over again that they truly out the children's development first as they have been diligently working with our 1 year old to communicate effectively. Picking TLS has been a choice we are so happy we made. Our children have developed language in both English and Spanish as the majority of teachers are bilingual and the communication between staff and parents is amazing! If you are in or around the clifton area i highly recommend you stopping by and inquiring you wont regret it.

Everyone is certified which is a rare find (I know this from having previously worked in a daycare environment). It was a difficult decision for me to send my daughter to daycare, but I can confidently say choosing TLS was the best decision. My nieces attended this daycare a few years back and it was great then. The love, care and attention given to the children is excellent. I appreciate Priscila's love for the children and wanting to make sure they learn and play in a clean and developmentally safe environment. My little one was timid and concerned at first since she has spent her first year with only her dad and myself but now she loves going and even waves good bye to me. She smiles as soon as she sees her teachers and the other kids. I hear them all cheering when she walks in the door and she leaves with a smile on her face. She comes home with projects which let me know she is learning colors, letters and enjoying the special days that are offered. The curriculum is age-appropriate and they encourage play throughout. I also appreciate the professional communication I have experienced with everyone. Lastly, after much research on the cost of daycare, I have to say TLS quality supersedes the affordable tuition! Overall a great daycare, The Learning Studio is a hidden gem in the heart of Clifton!

It's so refreshing to work with a team that's knowledgeable, supportive, kind, and compassionate.!!!!! Lead leaders..... to make a good team you have to lead by example, I give major kudos to shelley, Danielle and cardine for their work ethic and for making my decision of relocating so much better!!! if you are looking for a daycare, that's very well put together and want to feel safe about having your child go there..... they are going to experience an abundance of love support and compassion. I have met and witnessed other teachers in other classrooms and the way they handle their classroom and the way they are with the children all I could see is love, admiration and compassion!!!! but most of all PATIENCE which is what children need...... This is truly the canter to bring your kids if you live in the Cedar Grove or nearby towns, you will not regret it...I am a mom of two sons who are adults now I've worked in a pediatric office. I've worked in labor and delivery. I'm also a birth doula and I have to say out of all these places I've worked in with management and coworkers this by far......beats it allllllll...,,there's so much love here ..,,, something that they need....you gotta remember parents have to work so I am sure that while they're at work they want to hope and know that their children are giving the love and compassion and support and helping them with their milestones..... and REMEMBER these children are a reflection of us, so us teachers will be raising leaders here...... because what we would want for our own we would want for others...... many people have told me if I say something it's gotta hold truth... I never did have to back up my words because actions always spoke the truth. The Learning experience in Cedar Grove I am telling you....,,. YOU will not be disappointed....... and plus they'll have me as an infant if they are at that age. if you don't take my words, just experience it...

This daycare is great! Its the perfect size for what my husband and I were looking for when we…read moreenrolled our son in this school. For starters we were only putting our son in daycare a few days out of the week to allow him to socialize and open up more with kids his age. We decided to choose Little Kingdom over other daycares because of many reasons. We liked the fact that this school was not too big. The child to teachers ratio is perfect, there is more one on one attention given to our child because the classrooms were not overcrowded with kids. The hours worked between my husband and I's schedules which is perfect. The staff is very friendly and feels like a big family. Another big plus for my husband and I when we toured the school, we meet with Danielle the owners daughter she is sweetheart and you could tell this school focused more about the child not quantity of kids they were able to enroll. The price is great plus other daycares will hold you responsible for paying for days if your child happens to be sick where as the owner doesn't charge you in this case. This is by far the best decision my husband and I have made for our son. When he first started school he took some time to adjust but the teachers and staff made you feel comfortable to come by, call or even send pictures to help you ease your mind. We can clearly see the change of when he started school to now. He is learning so much and the arts and crafts is a bonus to see what they do in school. So i would highly recommend this daycare over others if you want to focus on your child.
