I had a very disappointing experience with Children of America in Sicklerville. My 2.5-year-old…read moredaughter attended three days a week, and instead of receiving support, she was labeled unfairly. Staff (preschool teacher) suggested she was "tensing up around Black children," which was extremely upsetting and inappropriate. I had already informed them she is in the process of being evaluated for autism, yet that context was ignored. What made it worse was a staff member pointing out that she was "fine around the white child in the room," which felt insensitive and unprofessional. My daughter interacts well with adults of all backgrounds, including Black staff members, so this conclusion about her behavior felt inaccurate and concerning. Additionally, she was placed in a baby room without my knowledge, where I did not have camera access. I was not informed about this change, nor was I notified that she needed more diapers--they simply used a different brand without asking me. Overall, communication was poor, and I did not feel my child was understood, respected, or properly cared for. I would not recommend this location to other parents.

My 3-year-old daughter was retaliated against and…read moreexpelled from the school after I complained about my daughter being bit by another child and not receiving a report. The pre-school teachers, Vanessa and Tyasia attempted to cover up the incident. Tyasia then breached my confidentiality as a parent and gave mine and my husband's personal information to her mother, who posted our photos online on Facebook and defamed our character, accusing us of threatening her daughter. Vanessa and Tyasia made several false statements to management about the situation. The new owners, Jackie and Mike Salters, were awful to deal with, completely unreasonable and heartless. They sided with the teachers, even when my husband and I both explained that the teachers were being dishonest. Jackie and Mike decided to still employ Tyasia-even after I informed them that Tyasia gave my personal info to a third-party, her mother, who used it to attack me and my family online. These issues raise major concerns about the safety of the children at this school and the parents who entrust their children and personal information with the staff. I went through all of this while studying for the bar exam; the owners were well aware of this, but showed no compassion for my family. Jackie kicked my three-year-old out of pre-school, when my daughter was the victim-she was bit in the face by another child and the staff tried to cover it up! Jackie and Mike put us out like garbage on the street and with only a few days notice. I have never been treated so poorly, but worst of all, my innocent baby girl suffered as a result. The Goddard school caused my daughter and my family severe emotional distress and will be further investigated by the State. Protect your children, and stay away from this horrible place at all costs!

From the owner: Founded in 1981, Atco Christian has been providing a preschool program for 2.5 to 6 year old…read morechildren in the South Jersey area for over 40 years. Our program is based on an ecumenical Christian curriculum and atmosphere, rooted in Biblical principles and ethics, which include daily prayer and Bible reading. Our curriculum centers on positive social skills. Teachers focus on facilitating social/emotional development, community responsibility, and personal interactions. Daily routines involve strengthening fine and gross motor skills, recognition of alphanumeric values, as well as the enrichments of art, science, and music. Christian values are introduced and reinforced with Bible stories and weekly visits from our Pastor. We believe learning also involves active firsthand experiences and that play is a child's natural way of learning. Center time allows the kids to make decisions and choices on their own. Our goal is for each child to experience that they are loved, valued, and mentally and spiritually nourished.

My dearest, only child (two years old) attends this day care. When I drop her off in the morning…read moreit feels great not to worry about whether or not she is receiving the best in care. My husband and I are new to the area and prior to us relocating, I spent weeks searching for a day care that would provide proper care in a caring, hygienic and learning-focused environment. I drove about two hours round trip to visit four day care facilities in the area and called numerous more inquiring. Just asking around, three people in the area, two from the local school district, and another, an educator in the area, mentioned Jumpstart Academy and how this facility was the best in the area. When I went to Jumpstart, I was greeted by Caitlin and Mary at the front desk who were extremely informative and professional. Although I was ready to sign up immediately, there was a waitlist!! I was devastated! I even sent my husband to visit and see if they had a new accommodation but to no avail! Other day care facilities I visited looked dirty and had old equipment. The classrooms were massive with tons of kids running amuck and having seemingly no organization. One facility smelled like pure urine as you entered the foyer! I left a down payment with a chain school in the area where there had been a waitlist that opened up. I wasn't entirely happy, but it was better than most. I made a last ditch effort and called and spoke with Suzanne before I took the plunge and filled out the paperwork for the other school. Suzanne, the owner, is exceedingly sweet and no doubt about it, she cares about not only her employees, but the children as well. Her manner put me at ease immediately. She was extremely accommodating and told me to come in because she would have availability for my dear daughter. My sweetheart has been with Jumpstart for 3 months. She is always happy to go "to school" in the morning. We have the option of viewing her classroom in real-time online during the day. We also have the option of paying for a lunch each day with yummy options each week such as pizza, french toast with sausage and grilled cheese! The teachers Julie, Sam and Val have treated my dear so well and they are always so willing to tell me about how my daughter's day went. I am eternally grateful to have "stumbled" on this facility online because I would have NEVER come across it otherwise because it is well hidden gem just beyond the railroad tracks! To sum up this review, I highly recommend Jumpstart Academy for the discerning, obsessive, highly-strung parent, like myself. This has been one of the best decisions we have made since we moved to the area!

We go a little out of our way to drop our kids off there, because there's just no other place like it near us. The staff is friendly and courteous. The building is very clean and has a great layout: classrooms for all ages, a multi-purpose room for play, and a computer room. They even have a couple different outside play areas. The owner, Suzanne, really makes you feel like family and she has established an amazing educational environment. The staff even helps toddlers with potty-training, which is invaluable. As for curriculum, they operate off of themes for different weeks and have related activities for the kids (even the babies) to do. I've received some of the most precious works of art from my boys because of the hard work and dedication of the staff. We just can't say enough about this place. First class, all of the way!!!

The teachers and the administration, unfortunately, did not have the childhood relational skillset to effectively address the challenges with positive alternatives and lessons. So, we pulled her out of that school and enrolled her in Malvern.

The administration and teachers have helped our daughter develop so much over the past two years. The dedication, commitment to teaching, and overall love, care, and safety shown by the administration and the teachers is phenomenal. The curriculum is very stimulating and encourages our daughter to process problems, stretch beyond her challenges, all while she is enjoying herself. We truly appreciate Maggie and her staff for all that they have done, and for all that they continue to do for our daughter and her friends (classmates) at Malvern of Erial.
