Denville KinderCare

After going through a few in just a short time span, we have finally found exactly what we were looking for at Denville Kindercare. Right from our first conversation, the director Leah went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were completely informed and feeling comfortable with our choice. Both her and the assistant director Laura are present and available every day and it is so wonderful to see them in the classrooms with the kids as well. Our son’s teachers give us so much communication through their mobile App that we can see exactly how his day is going and finally feel comfort so my wife and I can work! Highly recommend.

KinderCare was the first daycare we toured, and I'm not sure why we even looked anywhere else. Safe, clean, comfortable, and engaging are some of the best words to describe our Denville KinderCare family. The teachers care for each child like a member of their own family; every transition to a new classroom is smooth and comforting for the kids. Last year during a yearly checkup, our pediatrician asked if my 2 year old had about 50 words in his vocabulary and I laughed! Thanks to his teachers he probably had HUNDREDS.  Leah and her team are not only passionate about early childhood education, but also about extending their warmth to all parents (and grandparents!) involved in the childrens' lives. This is a team of educators that takes "above and beyond" to an entirely new level!

The teachers are always available to talk about what kind of day my sons have had. The few minutes of conversation during pick-up means so much after being at work for 8-10 hours and missing the time together as a family.

The communication has exceeded our expectations. From weather delays to holiday party sign-up sheets, we are always aware of what is going on in the center.

My son even plays "school" at home and pretends to be his teachers. As a parent, that's one of the best rewards of sending him there because I know he's comfortable with the environment and people! I'm so happy we found KinderCare!

My son started Kindercare back in June 2022, and we could not be happier with our experience so far! Leah & Laura are always available for my questions and to help with anything we may need. Ms. Nicole, Ms. Alyssa, Ms. Melissa, Ms. Lourdes, Ms. Sydney, and Mr. Orlando are such amazing teachers and my son is so excited to see them each morning! Thank you all for taking such good care of my little man each and every day - we love Kindercare!

I can not express how impressed we were with KinderCare in Denville. This is our first baby and I interviewed multiple daycares around and they sold me from the second I met Vicki and Laura. Obviously leaving your first and only born with anyone, especially during a pandemic, is a serious matter. They were the best. Personable, loving, caring, and always had my baby's best interest in mind. The teachers are the best. They're not just keeping your child alive, they care about their development and well being as if they're their own child. We moved back to NYC and leaving KinderCare Denville was the worst part about moving. Also, what daycare follows up time and time again after you've left to check on your kid? THE BEST! We miss you KinderCare! Thanks for the memories and the WONDERFUL care.

Most children spend more time at school than they do at home, and we could not be more grateful that our kid got to grow at KinderCare-Denville for 4 years. The directors, Vicki and Laura, do everything to support, nurture, and help children thrive. They are simply amazing at everything they do, as are the teachers!!! They deserve a million stars!

British Swim School of Crunch Fitness at Hyatt Morristown

Overall a good setup. The pool is warm enough for small kids. Instructors are generally consistent with some gaps here and there. My daughter used to go to a different location and didn’t make much progress there due to cold water. Since we moved to this location, there has been significant progress, largely driven by warmer pool water temp and generally consistent instructors.

This British Swim School is absolutely incredible. My profession is in education and I was so impressed with how professional and precise the instructors are. Each lesson is very consistent which makes it easy to see growth and they closely track, progress monitor, and update children’s growth in each skill. The instructors (specifically Saturday morning staff: Dom, the young woman, and the gentleman with curly hair & glasses) are BEYOND incredible; they are not only great at teaching skills but they are excellent with children. They take all the right steps to get kids engaged and interested in swimming; for example they’ll have the kids throw a ball in the pool so then the kids want to grab something and get into the pool. They incorporate children’s favorite songs into their activities and lessons; floating while singing wheels on the bus. The consistent language/cues and activities make the lessons comfortable and engaging for kids. The manager is present and available and also very knowledgeable; often coaching instructors and meeting with parents for updates. Its a well ran business as well with a great app to navigate skill tracking and their makeup class system is very easy to use

British Swim School is hands down the best swim school from the babies to adult. I took my daughter here end of June 2022 where she started as a Turtle 2 level. She can swim and has had previous swim lessons elsewhere (at various Y’s and two other swim schools - in private lessons) but her progress was slow and she can barely swim half the length of a small pool. But with British Swim school - she was in a small group class with 2 sometimes 3 other kids and after just three sessions, we have immediately seen a huge improvement on her confidence in the water as well as improvements in her freestyle and backstroke. After a little over a month, she was promoted to Shark 1. Soon after, she was being taught the dolphin kick and flip turns. Fast forward December, she got promoted to Shark 2 which in Y level is level 6 which translate to skills refinement and endurance in a little over 6 months. Whichever location we go to the teaching technique is the same and highly effective. I recommend this swim school with full confidence. I know getting a hold of them via phone, email and text is very frustrating. This I really hope management will take a look into and improvement. But, I have to say, in-spite of that, enrolling your child here is well worth every penny. The instructors are all amazing. I wish everyone in British Swim School the best and THANK YOU for all the help that you’ve done to my daughter. She has improved so so much under your teaching.

Within a couple sessions I became very comfortable in the water. After about three sessions I was able to swim without much supervision. I highly recommend.

We've been taking our kids to lessons with the British Swim School at Crunch Fitness for several months, and we couldn't be happier.  The instructors are all top notch, and the owner clearly cares about each child and their progress.  Small class sizes, changing lockers next to the pool, free parking (with validation) at the indoor garage, and a great pool are all added benefits.  Our kids look forward to the lessons each week, and we're very happy with all aspects.

Kiddie Academy of North Brunswick

Toured this center, was considering sending my children and while it is modern than most places don't be fooled. I urge all parents to go to the NJ Health & Human services website to view all the inspection reports on this center as of May-June 2023. All the bells and whistles that this place offers does not make up for the red flags I read on that report including lack of child supervision, not cleaning toys after they've been mouthed, not reporting injuiries to a parent, failing to background check employees within two weeks,  failing to serve food in a sanitary manner and that's just to name a few. There were two pages of violations. Very scary as a parent. I also didn't like that the extra classes they offered were hosted/instructed by outsiders. Not worth the expensive price tag in my opinion. I hope this brings awareness to parents to do real research and not go off of google reviews.

Although my daughter has only been at Kiddie Academy for short period of time I already can see how caring the teachers & staff are. Ms Yanique & Ms Norma in the nursery are exceptional. The teachers have followed our schedule and even have our daughter taking multiple naps. The class gets outside most days which I love. We really couldn’t be happier with the child care service at kiddie academy.

We really love the school. Our son had a great time learning and playing there. All the teachers are patient and nice. The classroom is tidy and clean. The playground is big. They have diverse outdoor activities. My son completed his potty training in only four months with the help of school. And his language improved a lot. Highly recommended.

Awesome staff, love the dynamic between the staff and kids, very clean, updated, and safe Daycare, I like the fact that my kid hang out with other kids from different race.

We started over a year ago and we never had any issues. I know my kids are in good hands. Great Staff!! Always warm, positive and caring. Kids love going to the daycare everyday. Teachers and other staff are professionals and always happy to help. Highly recommend this daycare center.

School of Rock

School of Rock San Jose is an amazing place for people to learn how to play music. Students are supported and encouraged to challenge themselves, becoming better musicians. The youth program helps all students improve and have room to grow musically. It's been a wonderful journey for our two children for the past 10 years.

Love School of rock. My son’s knowledge and curiosity about different types of music has definitely improved. He loves taking lessons there and the staff and teachers are very accommodating to cancellations/rescheduling lessons. Definitely recommend their school for anyone looking at starting or enriching their kids music interests.

Our 8 yo and 10 yo were both in the School of Rock program. My son learned electric guitar and my daughter vocal lessons. They enjoyed their private and group practices. They loved the experience of performing on stage at the Rock101 concert!! Thank you School of Rock San Jose!! The teachers and staff are nice and fun. Kids looked forward to their lessons. Thanks!!

Great instructors who inspire the kids to develop a love for music.  I especially like the group rehearsals and performances.  That has been the most enjoyable for my son.  He's made friends, developed confidence to perform on stage and has probably progressed even faster with the motivation to keep up with the older kids in the group.  I highly recommend School of Rock!!!

Our 11 yo boy has been going to SOR Almaden for about a year now and it is by far his favorite out of school activity. The music teachers have been wonderful and the staff always very accommodating with schedule changes and advice on how to develop our son as a musician. The concerts they put on are so much fun and the whole family are in awe how fast our son has advanced as a performer and also in his confidence. A real gem of a place.

Safari Kid - Almaden

Safari Kid was my 2nd attempt at after school care for my kids and they love the teachers - especially Miss Ami. I enjoy seeing the progress they make in after school care everyday and the cute remarks and smileys they get on their class assignments. The transportation provided by Safari Kid made it easy to transition my kids to after school as they are reluctant to stay back in school or go to a facility when they see a parent at pickup time. Miss Ami is very patient and sweet and I am now happy to see my girls run to her to give a hug after school! The microwave provided by the facility helps kids eat leftovers as the school does not provide one. Safari Kid has given me a lot of peace of mind as I am a full time working mom.

Safari Kid Montessori - Irvington

My son Amogh has been going to Safari Kid Montessori - Irvington since 2020 when the school opened in Irvington campus. He started as a 2 year old and ever since he has been loving it.  Since it was pandemic time, they followed strictly covid hygiene guidelines. The teachers - Ms. Gowri, Ms.Meenal are heading the school very well in right direction and supportive. His class instructors- Ms. Lakshmi and Radhika are his favorites. They post timely updates/photos for the activities and food. They keep track of child's skills and provide feedback on regular basis. He has also formed a friend circle with whom he like to spend over the weekend as well. Coming to infrastructure, The campus is very spacious, clean with big playground compared to other branches. Highly recommend !!

Our kid has had great experience with this school so far. The onboarding process was quick. The school's staff has been very comforting and supportive in making sure our kid got through the difficult first few days of school and quickly began to enjoy the time there. They post timely updates/photos for the activities and food. The activities are varied and fun. They keep close track of individual child's progress and provide good feedback. Ms. Meenal Mehta (head of school) and Ms Kavita (class teacher) deserve special mention for this. Keep up the good work!

My son Viraj has been going to Safari Kid Montessori - Irvington since last one year. when he joined the school he was 4 years old. He loves going to school. I really like this facility because it is big, bright and most importantly clean. Now coming to the teachers - they are very friendly with the kids. Ms Meenal and Ms Reena special thanks to them for making my kid's preschool experience wonderful. Highly recommend.

My kid enjoyed this school. Good teachers

Kiddie Academy of Almaden Valley

Could not have chosen a better school for my daughter. It is slightly pricier compared to other schools, however, the quality of care doesn’t come close. I am amazed how school subjects are integrated into concepts that make it fun and educationally impactful for all ages. The teachers are wonderful, the owners take a hands on approach, and the school is fully transparent which gives me 100% peace of mind. They don’t miss a beat, and I always feel very informed especially with their daily reports and fun photos. Thank you Kiddie Academy for all that you do for children!

We have been sending our son to Kiddie Academy at Almaden for the past 1 year, and that’s probably one of the best decision we made for him. Our experience with this preschool has been nothing less than amazing. Jennifer and Rick are doing a wonderful job running this school and organizing activities. Special shoutout to teachers Ms.Ali, Ms.Catalina and Mr,Bobby. My son has grown leaps and bounds in terms of social skills and behavior, thanks to them! I would definitely recommend this preschool to anyone who is looking for that extra touch of creativity for their child’s early education.

My daughter loves coming to kiddie academy. Every time she see’s the building she says “look mommy that’s my school” and tells me how she has so much fun coming here. The teachers and staff are also amazing.

My daughter has been going to Kiddie academy for a year now and loves the school and her teachers. As a parent, I am very satisfied with the way the kiddie academy structures programs for kids! This was the only school that gave me a tour of the kitchen out of the 10 schools I toured. I feel safe that my kid is eating freshly prepared meals and I also have camera access to see my child throughout the day. The entire team at Kiddie academy values transparency and fosters inclusion, diversity and collaboration. I couldn't have been anymore happier with my choice.

We love Kiddie Academy!  Our daughter went through the preschool program and graduated from their pre-K program last year.  She was incredibly prepared for Kindergarten and scored in the top percentile in her standardized testing - I know Kiddie Academy played a huge role in getting her ready.  More importantly, Kiddie Academy focused on her emotional development too - they focused on kind, empathetic, nurturing techniques that allowed her to feel comfortable and really shine.  We are so grateful for Kiddie Academy (our son still attends and is the preschool program!) and would highly recommend it!

Kiddie Academy of Cedar Knolls

Our son has been at Kiddie Academy of Cedar Knolls since he was 4 months old. The staff does a wonderful job communicating with families and with providing updates about our son. The teachers always greet him every morning with a smile and positive energy which makes drop off a pleasant experience. The teachers also have taught him so much and really tailor their lessons to expose the kids to new information and experiences. Their kindness, compassion and their caring staff is very much appreciated. Thank you for everything that you do!

I am not having a positive experience disenrolling my child. The director was on maternity leave which I certainly understand, but it seems like noone was covering her when I reached out several times. We need care sooner and addition to not getting answers I read negative reviews on the fb parent forum. I had concerns because of this nautrally and the lack of communication. Now instead of working with us because they didnt answer, they are trying to charge us almost $2000 to disenroll. I would be very wary about signing up your child at this point. If they were willing to work with us on clearly what was their error, and lack of communication, I would not be writing this review. When you sign your child up for daycare communication is especially important and our family needed care sooner due to changing circumstances. We gave them ample notice to disenroll. In addition, it is their error that they did not communicate with us which they will not even consider. If they had someone answering fully during maternity leave I would feel different. What if a teacher goes on leave? Will their be proper support? It is just not good customer service or support.

Update: i would accept that if you had answered while on leave, but you didnt and you arent accounting for that in your consideration which makes it completwly unfair to us.

We are so in love with KA ofCedar Knolls! Every single teacher and admin working at this facility is one of a kind. They portray genuine kindness and love to all of the children on a daily basis. We are so lucky and thankful to have such an amazing team care for our two children. Thank you!!!

Exceeded our childcare expectations! The teacher treated our kids like their own and were very thoughtful!

I had a bad trust & transparency related experience with the folks in this location. Based on my experience until something goes wrong from the people in this location true behavior won't be presented. Luckily in my case the situation was with $.I really hope & wish that no one EVER have to go through similar experience and have to deal with this location folks on a child matter as/when it does go wrong.

My son was dropped for few weeks/days in 2022 as a drop in and paid full registration & fee clearly documented via email and was aligned with the Lady Christina on the total $ will be paid during the short period prior to registration. On my son's Last day with this KA on they way out I dropped into her office to thank and asked if any money due to be paid and confirmed as none as we are not coming back and if we are coming back we will let you know and she said NONE. On Feb'23 SURPRISE something called Annual Enrollment fee got charged to my account. As I reached out to the Lady Christina she said she will review and get back. No response for few days and I follow up the another office lady says its part of the enrollment which can't refunded. I had some multiple follow up and emails to review and get back and had some long conversations with the other lady which now they claim as Yelling(which is incorrect as I was in the car and talking loud because of kids sound ,If they felt that way I have no problem apologizing) etc. Not once they call back or follow up to my multiple emails and said  they will never return back since I have signed and agreement as part of '22 enrollment it seems  and the fee they charged, because I didn't disenrolled  my son though IT WAS DOEN ORALLY AND DIRECTLY WITH CHRISTINA IN HER OFFICE AS I WALKED OUT IN NOV'22.If they have the video recording from her office reviewed this could be validated.

I didn't have bad experience while my son attended but approach/behavior  and TONE of the people truly changed to day and night as I highlighted the $ taken away is truly a way of cheating though that money doesn't belong to them.

Hence I believe it is my LAST experience with this KA. Probably a last one anyone else with these folks in any matter and wish them the best !

British Swim School at LA Fitness – Parsippany

I enjoyed the learning experience. Trainers have been awesome. Although there have been multiple trainers, all of them helped me with their unique style of teaching and techniques to get a grasp of various strokes. They even went far to teach me Butterfly stroke and underwater swimming.
A suggestion to learners - It would help you to learn quicker if you choose 2 days a week over one day a week. That’s my personal experience.
Once again thank you British Swim School @ 24 hour Fitness, Piscataway

we thought this would be different experience but turns out to be the worse. My daughter has joined BSS almost. year ago, but she is still in the same class. They just leave kids in the pool and ask them to swim. Today, I watched 4 kids in the pool, swimming without an instructor in the water, even thought there were 3 outside the pool either on their phone or talking to each other. I watched them for 30 min and not a single time they talk to any of the students about the swimming technique.

Our family had a great experience with British Swim. They’re consistent and my daughter felt very safe. I highly recommend them!

My kids have gotten very comfortable with the water in a short time. They have advanced in their skills and are definitely progressing well. Can't wait for them to be fully independent I'm water. Instructors are great and patient and make it fun.

Shark 1 last class instructor was very good. Hoping to have same instructor for moving forward as Parsippany location.

Safari Kid Newpark Mall

Both my husband and I looked at multiple preschools before finalizing on safari kid. From the moment we got the tour of the school and met the director miss Sonal, our gut just said that this is the right place for our daughter. And we are very happy with the decision we made. The school has very good balance of play based learning with academia. My daughter is 2 and 1/2 years old and already recognizes different shapes, colors, says and counts numbers from 1 to 20, alphabets from A to Z and much more. The teachers are very kind and patient with the kids and they go above and beyond to make your child feel comfortable. And she's always excited to go back to school.
Miss Sonal, the director is very, very personable. She listens to the parents feedback and incorporates it in their teaching. We love Safari kid and would recommend it to our friends and family in a heartbeat.

We were on the hunt for an exceptional preschool for our child and stumbled upon Safari Kids Newpark Mall. After researching their curriculum and staff, we decided to enroll our kid and it has been more than two years since. We have witnessed growth in his language development, writing and communication skills, and athletic abilities. The staff and teachers are well qualified and dedicated to ensuring that the child feels comfortable and supported in their learning journey. During the pandemic, the director of the school Ms. Sonal went above and beyond by bringing lunch for our child when the food catering service was not yet available. This act of kindness speaks volumes about the school's commitment to their students' well-being.
Needless to say, Safari Kids Newpark Mall is one of the best preschools out there, and we are very happy with our child's overall progress. We highly recommend this school to any parents seeking a comprehensive approach to their child's development.

I have started with Safari Kids when my Son was 2 year. They take lots of efforts towards each and every kid. Very loving, supporting and good teachers. I am glad that my son is in good hands. Thank you Safari Kids and teachers.

I enrolled my child at safari kid Newark school, and unfortunately, there was an incident involving physical contact with a teacher. I feel it's important to share my feedback regarding this matter in order to promote a safe and nurturing environment for all children.
My child is typically very communicative and shares details of his school experiences at home. Previously, he attended a Montessori school and had a positive experience with no complaints. However, due to a long vacation, we lost his seat at the previous school and had to choose this school for its proximity to our house. He started attending in February and soon reported an incident where he was hit by a teacher. We initially reached out to the school, but they denied the incident took place. We decided to give it more time, but unfortunately, within a week, a similar incident occurred, and this time, our child showed us visible marks on his body and described the entire incident. When we brought this to the school's attention again, instead of understanding our concerns, they became defensive and accused our child of not listening. This led us to withdraw our child from the school on the very same day."

💯First of all I have to greet everyone to whom contribute 🌀 for the development of this beautiful kindergarten , I must confess🔥 that I was even very happy to see again this Preschool. If it possible I would call 🎈Pro School 21st century. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Two of my nephews received their first education from this place. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
