I waited a few minutes, about 3, and she never once looked up from her phone. I decided not to go in for a tour, not a single child was being watched. I don't know if they consider this acceptable, but there was ZERO supervision happening.

They're extremely caring and I feel they truly have my children's health and welfare as top priority. I've seen my kiddos blossom into polite and caring kids with skills that will have them ready for kindergarten when the time comes. Also, the Director and Assistant Director have been extremely accomodating wtih schedules and flexing time with half/full days to help with some extra lessons we have in place for our child. Its been a huge stress-relief to have this as a home base that we can count on when we need care. Its really been a great experience.

Over time the staff feel like family. We have have lots of trust with them (especially during covid times) and knew that our son was not only being taken care of; he was being loved. The environment is cheerful and the classroom are very artistic with lots of crafts. They promote curiosity oriented learning and explore with textures and colors. The teacher show a genuine interest in the kids and really do love every single one of them. The teachers are always willing to work with parents, whether it is about diet, allergies, pacifiers and sleep/nap schedules, medicine. They also give parents ques on how to ensure our kids milestones are met.

My daughter attended this place for 2 years, but I was never fully happy or felt that we were…read moretreated with the most care or respect. I was a first time mom and didn't know of another place that would be so close or affordable. I kept my daughter here, truly for the convenience of distance and price rate. However, many times I would have normal questions I would think a typical parent of a 1-2 year old can have and there were times they didn't have an answer for me. Sometimes they were not willing to accommodate our family needs, yet that's part of what they claim they stand for. Please understand that my daughter was always happy to go there because of her teachers. The teachers do the best they can, but they lack appropriate training and sometimes resources. My biggest issue was with management. From my personal experience, since I am a teacher myself and deal with parents and here management was never the most professional with me as a parent. It really hurt me that we felt pushed out. They wouldn't accommodate my schedule and didn't guarantee me a spot for my daughter. They said they would let me know in advance and never did, which led me to find another school and know about my options, because they wouldn't give me an answer. As far as academics is concerned, my daughter didn't learn much there. They would play all day, hence she was always happy to go. I never saw a real progress in her learning. The administration was never willing to accommodate a family who had already been there for 2 years. They didn't care about losing us and pushed us out. Another issue was that there was no one you can take formal concerns to. They were all extremely close at a personal level and I knew I would not be heard. I would only recommend this place for your child's care if you want them to play all day and you want good rates. But be aware if you are 5 minutes late, you will be charge per half hour. I have to be honest as I never felt my daughter was neglected or in danger, but definitely didn't get the best educational experience there. This place could be a better place for families around BR if they take a better business management approach, which they have lack of.

Not sure if it is a racial issue going on at the JCC but the vibe is definitely there.

Not only do they have all the essential machines, they have a basketball court, swimming pools, sauna, steam room, showers, yoga/HITT classes and a great/clean atmosphere. Very family orientated organization with great security to make you feel safe and protected. The icing on the cake is the employees and management are super nice. They do it right at the JCC to the gym, amenities, staff, security and even the little kids camp/school they have, the kids look like they're having a great time and making lots of friendships.
