Our daughter has been enrolled at C2S for three years and our son enrolled for 1 year. The owners. The directors, assistants, teachers top to bottom are some of the best people I've ever worked with. We enrolled after the pandemic began and were very nervous about a lot of unknowns. Through it all, and now, C2S has been our home away from home. I cannot recommended them enough. Through good times or bad, they have been the most supportive group we could ever ask for. We love you C2S family! read more

My daughter has been attending Crawlers to Scholars since she was a year old. She is now 3 and I couldn't be happier with her experience here. As a first time parent, I was very nervous sending my daughter to daycare, but the teachers were wonderful with her and so patient and reassuring with me. The directors and staff are also very accommodating of the needs of the parents and are more than willing to work with you if you need help. My daughter has not only been well cared for, but she has also learned so much. The teachers are so caring, compassionate and creative. Weekly lesson plans are sent out so you know the theme of the week and all the activities they will be doing, which range from reading, music, science, sensory bins, practicing fine/gross motor skills, playing pretend, nature walks etc. The activities are just so creative and engaging for the kids. For example, today my daughter made a fire truck cookie using graham crackers, icing and Oreos. They also have someone come in and do a music class with the kids twice a month and yoga twice a month. There are also other additional optional programs offered such as dance, sports, and art. The enrichment activities are amazing, such as having visits from fire fighters, police officers, dentists, Santa as well as the teddy bear clinic, pony rides and at Halloween, a trunk or treat. They even offer a free evening event for families at Christmas time all Polar Express themed, with various activities and pictures with Santa. Summer camp is also incredible with weekly splash days on the playground, princess balls, dinosaur shows, bubble shows, petting zoo and field trips for the older kids. My daughter has picked up so much so quickly, all because of the varied experiences/activities they have provided for her. Choosing Crawlers to Scholars has been the best decision my husband and I could have made. We truly feel like we hit the lottery with this daycare. read more

We couldn't be happier with our 2 years of experience (and counting) with C2S! From the cleanliness to the safety measures they've instituted during this pandemic to the structured curriculum that focuses on all facets of development, everything about C2S is exactly what we were looking for in a daycare for our daughter. What we love most of all though is the STAFF! Each and every teacher that our daughter has had, has been outstanding. They take the time to get to know each child, their likes and dislikes, their behaviors, and their personalities. The teachers work with the parents to understand the child's educational, emotional, and social goals. Every time our daughter moves up into the next class, it's bittersweet because she always develops such a tight bond with her teachers, and she (and we) is sad to leave them. However, we are also excited about the new experience she'll have with her new teachers. We are always delighted to see the next set of skills that she learns from each new class - which always tends to be a LOT! In addition to the teachers being wonderful, the administration is warm and friendly. Nicole and Sue know each child and parent by name. Our daughter loves stopping to talk to them each morning and each afternoon. They are truly the best! As cliché as it sounds, C2S really feels like an extension of our family. The directors and teachers continuously reference the similarities of our daughter's tendencies with our nieces who graduated from C2S 3 YEARS AGO - and they're about 5 years apart in age. When it comes to evaluating any daycare, C2S tops the marks across all the important categories: safety, comfort, and education. You'd be hard pressed to find another daycare better than C2S! read more

Crawlers 2Scholars is amazing. I'm so happy with the progress my daughter is making. Great care and consideration is made to provide students with fun, interactive, and meaningful instruction. All staff members are highly engaged and the level of communication provided is exceptional. read more

We love everyone at C2S!! From the moment I walked into this daycare four years ago looking for a place for my little one I was immediately drawn by their energy! They have always treated us more like family than a business. From the front desk, Nicole and Sue to all of the teachers and staff; they've always greeted us with a smile and a warm "Hello" no matter how many hours they've put in. We always feel welcome and right at home! They've treated both of my girls as their own and that alone has given us a sense of peace! I recommend everyone who has little ones to visit this hidden gem because you won't be disappointed! read more

We reached out to this business about 6 to 7 months before our potential enrollment date. We were assured of space at the time. All of a sudden, a few months to enrollment, there was no longer space. It coincided with submitting the names of the children. We have followed up since but there just seemed to be no willingness to respond. We believe deeply that we have been racially profiled and blackballed from the school for no reason - definitely not for the content of our character...... read more

From the moment we walked into C2S, my husband and I knew that this was the perfect place for our daughter. She was 12 weeks old when we first started sending her to Crawlers to Scholars and since that time, we have watched her thrive, learn, and experience new things. ALL (and I mean all) of the teachers and staff treat these children like their own. We know our daughter is safe, loved, and cared for each and every day. We could not be happier with our experience and are so very thankful to be part of the C2S family. read more

Bar none! My daughter is learning and thriving and the teachers are all amazing... the front desk ladies are dolls... watch out for them they'll push chocolate and cookies on you. How can you beat that? read more

Before I put my daughter into C2S, I visited 6 different daycare in surrounding area, with multiple visits to some of them. Eventually we decided on Crawlers 2 Scholars and have never regretted. C2S has a bright, happy environment; up-to-date equipment; and a fantastic, loving group of staff. Parents are kept very well informed with how their kids are doing and other happenings in school with weekly and monthly class plan, end of the week footnotes with pictures, and daily individual reports. Class size is good, the whole group of teachers and other staff are very close like a family. In addition to the activities offered to school such as yoga, music, etc., there are elective classes offered for a very reasonable fee - and boy how every kid loves Mr. Justin's Jr. Sports! My daughter just graduated this year. I am so glad she spent the last 3 years happily, safely, and well prepared for entering kindergarten. Thank you the wonderful, caring teachers at C2S, we will miss you so much! read more

This is a rare find in local preschools. According to the owner, the school building was designed and built for a preschool settings, all rooms are spacious and with a lot of lighting. It's quite different if you have been to those other schools renting Church rooms, big houses or office buildings. The school sits away from all the traffic, very quiet and has a lot of play spaces inside and outside of the building. The curriculum are good too, and they also bring in several excellent outside vendors for stuff like art and sports. Recently my son had his preK graduation celebration at the school. I was so moved by the program of the celebration. The teachers (and of course all the kids) must have spent a lot of time preparing and practicing for the whole thing. I would recommend this school to anyone who's serious about their children's preschool educations. read more

I usually do not leave reviews for anything, but for something as important as one's childcare, I felt compelled to leave this review so that parents researching their options can trust that THIS is an option they should take. Crawlers 2 Scholars did not ask me to post this review. I am doing this because I feel it is so important for parents to understand their options from an impartial person who has experienced the facility. I feel like I struck gold with this place. I am a working mom of 2 sets of twins. My older set is currently 3 1/2 years old and my younger set is 2 years old. Initially, when I was looking into daycare options while I was pregnant with my 2nd set of twins, I thought the best route to go was having a nanny. I thought it would be cheaper and my kids would get more individual attention. I thought they wouldn't get sick. I thought it would be easier to avoid not having to get them out in the morning. Boy, WAS I WRONG! We had unreliable nannies who we realized couldn't be trusted the kids. There is no worse feeling than wondering whether your children are being given the proper amount of affection, education, and overseeing while you are working your butt off to try to provide for them. I was also always coming home to a messy house and bored kids. I realized that they weren't getting the socialization they needed as well. After 2 botched nannies, we decided to look into daycares. As soon as we walked into C2S, I knew it was the best choice. It was extremely clean and neat. The employees were beyond attentive. The building itself is beautiful. The playgrounds outside are clean, gated in, and have rubber mulch. They were willing to work with us to establish a schedule that would fit our needs. Their prices were extremely reasonable. It became clear to me that this was not a "daycare", but more like a "school", with set curriculum and education-focused lessons. Since this time, 3 of my 4 children go to C2S. A few things every parent looking into C2S should know: * Schedules/Lesson Plans: Every month, parents are emailed a calendar of events for that month and every week, a lesson plan is sent. Each lesson plan addresses motor skills learning, literature, sensory/science, and art, among other things depending on the age level. * Activities - A ton of activities are offered based on the age of the child. They have a sports instructor come in on a weekly basis (Mr. Justin). They have "Splash Days" in the summer. They have Yoga Fridays. They have musicians come and play. They plan events for holidays, Mother's Day and Father's Day. I could go on and on. A tremendous amount of thought and planning goes into each activity planned. * Security - In order to enter the building, each parent has a personalized 4-digit code. There is also a computer screen at the front where you can sign your children in and out. Only people with permission are allowed to sign the children out. * Communication - They have open communication with parents via email. If changes are being made to the facility or classroom, they advise the parents. If a particular virus is going around, they advise the parents. If I ever had a concern about any of my children, they were very attentive. FYI, the only concern I really ever had was the separation anxiety my kids first expressed when I would leave them. This only lasted for about a week. Most children go through that. It's honestly worse for the parents than the child. They encouraged me to call them during the day to check on the children. It put me at such ease. Now, I'm having the opposite problem. My kids don't want to come home when I pick them up. * Cleanliness - For those parents who are skeptical about sending their children to daycare because they don't want them to be sick all the time, it's not necessarily the case at C2S. C2S does everything possible to avoid the spread of germs, but it's inevitable that your child will get sick from time to time. You need to allow time for their immune systems to build up a bit. My kids rarely get sick now. * Weekly Newsletter - One of my favorite things about C2S is the weekly newsletter. Every week, you get a newsletter advising you of the activities of the week prior with pictures. * Staff - Last, but certainly not least, I can't say enough amazing things about the staff. All of them, from the teachers to the directors to the owners, LOVE MY CHILDREN as if they are their own. And more importantly, my children love them. They are affectionate, patient, creative, dedicated and emphasize positive reinforcement to correct behavior. I am beyond grateful to all of them. read more

We love C2S! Our daughter has been attending for almost 3 years now, and our son has been attending for about one. We have had an incredibly positive experience! When we needed to put our daughter in daycare, my wife and I visited several in the area and were most impressed with C2S from the start. The facility is well-suited for all of the activities they do with the kids, and the staff is amazing and very in-tune with the needs of each child. We have never felt uncomfortable leaving our kids there- We know they are in good hands! read more

We have had our two children at Crawlers 2 Scholars for the past 2 and a half years and have been very pleased with the teachers and the staff. Everyone is very caring towards our children and the teachers know how to handle them, whatever their mood. Our children are happy when they go there and the curriculum is varied, educational, and fun. We are very pleased with our decision and you can't go wrong with sending your kids there! read more

We couldn't be happier with C2S. They are always so welcoming and our kids always rave about their days and all the fun things the saw and learned. The teachers care about the children so much - they foster their growth and learning both educationally and emotionally. The kids love the teachers. Every teacher we've had all have such compassion with our children and foster their growth both educationally and emotionally. I have no doubt that my kids will be more than ready for kindergarten when the time comes. read more

All 3 of our children currently attend Crawlers 2 Scholars and we couldn't be more pleased! My husband and I had tried having a nanny for our children and decided that we really wanted them to have more social interaction and structured activities throughout the day. Each of our children receives a ton of personal attention, and they are encouraged to interact and play with other children in a safe, CLEAN, and fun environment. My oldest daughter has thrived in her classroom. It amazes me how intelligent she has become and how much she enjoys going to "school" each day. We wake her up each morning and the first thing she asks is for her teachers. Her art projects literally cover our refrigerator! My other children entered C2S in the infant room and just love their caregivers. I appreciate that C2S respects my wishes for how my child is to be raised and does not veer from that without asking me for my permission. My husband and I make all of our own food for our children and we appreciate that if they are given anything other than that food we are asked first. Additionally, the fact that they take the time to fill out a daily "report card" on each of our children really makes us feel like we were involved in their day. Lastly, life can be a little bit crazy trying to get 3 small children in and out of school in the morning. The owner of C2S helps me to get my kids to and from the car each morning so that I can focus on keeping them safe. I don't think she'll ever know how much I appreciate that. Crawlers 2 Scholars is my children's "Home away from home" and we simply could not imagine a better childhood for them. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

This school is amazing! The school is always clean, organized, brightly lit and inclusive. The staff is caring, loving and very knowledgeable and always willing to help. Both my kids have gone to C2C and have loved it. My older son was able to adjust very easily to kindergarten and its demanding academics after attended C2C's kinderprep. It's comforting to know that I'm leaving my children in a highly educational and fun environment but also with people that are nurturing and treat them like family. read more

I frequent many daycares through the years for my job, and I am so impressed and appreciative of how accommodating and kind the staff are all here. Miss Justine in the woddler 2 class could not be any nicer and more warm to the kids and myself included. The environment is clean and well organized. I am also I impressed with the media and gym rooms that facilitate such growth and stimulation for the kids. The outdoor grounds are also great places to play for the kids. I would recommend this place to others. read more

My family recently moved to the Basking Ridge area and I visited a few day care providers before choosing Crawlers 2 Scholars as the place where my children would spend their day. I'm so happy with my decision. Sharon, Susan and Nicole are great. They greet every child by first name when they walk in the door. The teachers are very caring and warm to all the children, whether they're in their class or not. My children have been in Miss Patty, Miss Justine and Miss Mary's class - they are all so energetic, patient, kind and loving. When my children hear their names, a big smile lights up their face...and I'm not just saying that. My children have thrived at Crawlers 2 Scholars. I've seen a difference in them since they started attending. Choosing the right day care to take care of our precious children is a very important decision and can sometimes be stressful. The staff at Crawlers 2 Scholars allow me to go to work worry free. I highly recommend them. N. Phillips read more

In January my family moved to the Bernardsville/Basking Ridge area and one of major issues was uprooting our 4 year old son from the only school he had ever known. We researched six different preschools and brought him along as we visited each facility. After extensive deliberation, despite it being more than a 10 minute further commute, we chose Crawlers 2 Scholars and we are very pleased with our choice. My wife and I both have careers that require travel along with some demanding hours. The flexibility of Crawlers 2 Scholars eases our mind as we plot out our weekly schedule. We are thrilled with his academic growth and he wakes up every morning looking forward to going to school. He has especially enjoyed the extra programs that the school has available at a very affordable cost. From academics to sports to art, these programs are helping us raise a well-balanced child. The staff at Crawlers 2 Scholars has met our lofty expectations. They reinforce our base human values on a daily basis. My wife and I want to raise our children to enjoy them as adults. To us that requires them to become thoughtful, caring, intelligent and fun loving people. Thank you Crawlers to Scholars for helping us get off to a great start in raising such a son. Sincerely, Zach Biehl read more

We love it, and our son does too. Serena and her staff are all so warm with our son, accommodate any request we have for our son and create such a feeling of comfort among the parents. Our son is so happy playing there and being with the staff that he lights up when arriving in the morning and then often doesn't want to go home, and being there has greatly fostered his development. Seeing the activities the older children are involved in has me incredibly comfortable going forward. I couldn't recommend this place more highly. read more

Love this school, just love. Way? Because it is warm, inviting, homey, and caring. I just don't see my son in someplace else. This is his home, he knows it as well I know it. He just doesn't want to come home sometimes, cause he's having so much fun, that's mean this place is good, very good. :) read more

An awesome place. A home away from home for my kid. Sarena and her staff are excellent in their job. I have been to so many daycares and this was one place where ,the moment I entered the premises I felt this is the place for my child. My son is just one year old and is so happy to be in school. Every evening I pick up a happy child. As parent you would always know what your child is doing. Its clean and hygenic place. At previous daycares my son used to fall sick a lot but ever since he joined c2s this has drastically reduced. I would recommend this place to every parent. read more

I have never given any review to any kind of organization till date, but after joining my Son and Daughter in this day care i felt its my responsibility to appreciate Sarena and her Staff.....Crawlers 2 Scholars is one of "the best" day care in Basking Ridge neighbourhood. I have put my 2 kids , one was in pre-k and other was in Twadlers.Serena is very hardworking and she has very innovative thoughts, setting up media room with IPADS/balck board, they love to play and same time they learn projects , which i donot think you can ever find in any other day care. They have many enrichments programs, Serena has put almost all enrichments programs which any day care can provide and also they offered many field trips and educational programs like visiting palnetoriam ,zoo. Swimming lessons.... , i have registered to almost all programs which they offered , it is the excellent way kids get to know and learn. Unformtunately we have to leave this day care due to relocation. Ms Rebecca is excellent teacher and very freindly with all of her kids in her classroon and Ms Justine is very caring . I highly recommend this day care to others..... read more
