The owner has put an immense amount of her time (I'm sure along with her experience in the field) making this school incredible exceeding every expectation i had personally. Every aspect of your child's day has been taken into consideration to make sure that your child will be learning and not being just babysat while you're at work like some other day care centers. My daughter is excited for the first time ever to go to school. She sees the owner and runs up to her and hugs her and loves all the staff. This truly is more than just a day care this really is a school environment and has structure and an amazing curriculum not that has been set by a corporate office to be followed but by an owner who wants to set your child up to love learning and be excited to to go to school! It's amazing how noticeable it is all the hard work and time and thought that has been put into creating a successful school for both the child and the parent. I cant day enough good things about this facility. What a wonderful journey we have begun sailing thanks to the amazing staff and owner!!!! If you want more than a babysitter and want to set your child up to start his or her education on a high note so your child will be excited to go to school and learn this is the place to go!!!!! Plus they have an amazing food program and even an app where you get updates everyday of what your children are doing.

The school has been wonderful! It is small so you really get to know everyone there and it is obvious they all care so much about the children. They focus on learning through play and also have additional enrichments like guest readers, a dentist that visits to talk about oral health, fire station trip, etc. My son is learning to write upper and lower case letters and numbers this year and is doing so well! They have a lovely outdoor playground and an indoor gym so the kids can run and play even in inclement weather. They really make learning fun and engaging for the kids and my son is so happy and excited to go to school each day. I would absolutely (and have!) recommended CFCNS to anyone with a preschool or pre-k aged child. I can't wait until my younger child can attend here as well!

We started my daughter here at 9 months and pulled her out after 3 weeks. I just found this daycare…read moreto be described best as benign neglect. Now I am referring to the Infant room, so this is not a review based on their toddler care. -They have live video streaming which was one of the reasons we liked this daycare. Well unfortunately it showed us reason to take her out. On numerous occasions she was left in a bouncer or seat by the table for over an hour without any interaction with the providers. Even at times when she showed signs of exhaustion, they left her there, i'm not sure if it was in hopes she'd pass out that way?? I even provided them with her schedule prior to starting which they never even looked at it. Had they done so, they would have known it was nap time for her and put her in a crib. -When we asked that she get more play time on the rug, they would leave her there to play alone and the caretakers would go talk amongst themselves over by the kitchen area without turning to check on the kids. The play area is safe but there is no barrier between there and the dirty kitchen or doorway. I had to watch helpless as my daughter started to crawl out towards the kitchen and proceeded to pick up an unknown object from the floor and put it into her mouth. I called immediately and then they picked her up and put her into a swing. This was probably only a few minutes but that's all it takes for a baby to get themselves into trouble, choke on something, etc.. -If the caretaker she was assigned to was not in the room, no one else seemed to be responsible for her. Another reason why she would be left in a bouncer for a long period of time. Her caretaker was there from 8-4pm, so by the time we picked her up around 5/5:30pm, the two staff members left would be absolutely clueless to the schedule of her day so at times she'd miss her 5pm dinner meal or be napping much later than she should've been. -A strange thing happened - they didn't inform us that she threw up one day. Instead we found out when we came home and found a plastic bag which contained her soiled pants with food/puke stains all over. I would normally have thought it was just spilled food or poop that seeped out, but there was no mention of poop in her daily log and she threw up several more times that evening and ended up with an ear infection shortly after. -They provide you with a folder with their "curriculum" as well as paperwork for you to provide to the caretaker once they start so they can get to know your child better. Don't bother filling it out as they didn't even look it over. It was filed away and when we brought her to the infant room, they asked me what her schedule was and wrote it on a piece of paper. This wasn't just on the first day, they did this everyday when we brought her in! And their curriculum is a load of BS. They do not do story time and they barely play with the kids (maybe 1 hour tops for the day). Overall it was a horrible experience for us.

Specifically as for the infant room, Pink Elephants, quite simply, Martha is amazing. As a working mother of a baby born with a broken heart it was, I believe, harder for me to leave my baby in day care than it is for other mothers. Eddie was 6 weeks old and his incision from his open heart surgery was 4 weeks old. He wasn't tiny but he was still healing. From the time I brought him in for a "test" visit the week before we started full time I knew she was going to be wonderful, and love and care for my baby. That is what happened, Martha fell in love with Eddie, as his primary at Rainbow she not only put up with my over protectiveness she helped us both through that first year. She experienced so many firsts with our family; moving from formula to baby food, baby food to solid food, sitting up for the first time, first real play, and the list goes on. Even though is Eddie is now 4 he still loves his Martha and so do we, she will always be a part of our family and memories of Eddie's first year. We have had great experiences will staff in general, everyone knows my son and calls him by name. There are 2 staff members that moved on to go back to school and we still keep in touch. Earlier this year my son had some behavior issues, pushing his boundaries and the teaching and administrative staff were great, we worked to together to get him to where he should be. He is back on the straight and narrow, listening to his teachers. :)

If you are looking for daycare, the daycare teachers are amazing as they have raised my kids for 3 years. But if you are going to be doing virtual learning----don't waste your time. The director has no compassion or room for criticism. I got complaints from the PUBLIC SCHOOL of roselle which I shared with her in hopes of improvement since we have had a long relationship together of 3 years-----but she chose to blame my daughter who is 5 stating she had to figure out the schooling on her on and they are only there to make sure she sits at the computer. She refused to provide additional wifi in the school during virtual learning so all the kids cant even get their work done. She was heartless and rather than attempting to fix the problem kept blaming my 5 year old and literally called me and said----today is your last day.
