Our daughter's first day at daycare started off with promise--we received updates throughout the day and felt hopeful about our choice. Unfortunately, that feeling changed completely at pickup. When we arrived, we walked to her classroom and noticed the children were outside on the toddler playground, with the door propped open by a foam block. As we approached, we witnessed a teacher forcefully grab another child by the arm. That moment immediately raised serious concerns. We went outside right away to find our daughter. The staff member supervising the group was not her usual teacher. The supervising staff member appeared to be very overwhelmed watching the young children. When I located her among the other children, her face was very red and there was a visible mark on her arm that resembled a handprint. I picked her up and we left immediately. Before leaving, I stopped at the director's office to report what we had seen. I was told there are no cameras covering the outdoor area. What a huge liability! I requested a refund and we will not be returning. This experience was deeply upsetting, and I would strongly urge other parents to carefully consider their options. read more

Ever since they were acquired by KinderCare, the curriculum, service, safety, and value have gone down significantly. Their office staff are nasty and harass parents and discuss inappropriate topics in front of the young students and other families. No privacy or discretion. Their director is no where in site, she's literally not there or hides in the office and never comes out to say hi. Bring Kelly back! The employees are inappropriate. And the quality of the art and work sent home with the kids nosedived, we trash 80% of it whereas we used to save and frame it all. The teachers are very sweet, and they carry this facility on their backs. The level of disrespect and discrimination we've faced makes me sick. The admin staff has us to the point where we are thinking we might switch when we can get in someplace better. The facility is dirty half the time anymore and always smells like a dirty diaper. Our youngest constantly comes back in a dirty diaper like they haven't been checked! And we really only stayed hoping the quality would level out and get back to where it was, but it hasn't. Crème is not worth anything they charge and after our oldest was significantly injured onsite (conveniently off camera) and the staff dodged us (but we handled things calmly), we are looking into our options for that incident and we would never recommend going here. Save your money. They're soulless. I would be interested in a pathway to a better experience and solution for our child's previous injury, but I do NOT want to deal with the RM for this site. So, I will not share my information if that's who will contact me, I'd prefer higher up at this point. read more

After almost a year, I am still in awe of the place. However, now it's not just the shiny part. Creme is more than just a great looking place that gives a perfect vibe. No, it's a great learning place. I can see the progress my kid is making not even monthly or weekly, but literally on a daily basis. All credit is to Creme, it's programs and it's teachers. If you have a child you are considering sending to a daycare or if you have a child in a daycare that's not Creme and you live close to this location, you really need to visit. read more

See all

the center is nice, the teachers are good. The administration is questionable (weird directors, barely smiling, changing out teachers constantly, teachers leaving constantly). The paperwork requirement is ridiculous (same name, number, emergency pick up info 5 times of different form, every year , even if your kid is enrolled, and nothing changes. Get Google forms!!!!!). The lifecubby app (touted as an improvement!) is worse then then the daily sheet - no detail of book they read, or song they sang, or words of letters they focused on, so now conversation starters now with my kid :( read more

We have a toddler going here, we have seen their infant room and we're not a fan. The most special thing about this school is its structure. It's not like a daycare where there are around 12 kids and two attendants watching them in one room all day. The toddler's and other kids rotate into different classrooms every 30 minutes. This allows the kids to be distracted and learn new different things. The classes they rotate between range from gym to math to science and technology, they even have Spanish and Mandarin. The infant classroom however is set up like any daycare a lot of babies crawling and crying with two adults watching them. The con of the school is that most of the teachers are actually certified teachers who are either obtaining a degree in teaching or have already gotten it. There is a huge turnover of teachers. Teachers leave or take a lot of time off which is an issue because kids get used to their teacher and dont like the constant change. I think The reason this is a downside is because once the teachers find a job with the school district they leave, im not sure if thats why theres a huge turn over but im just guessing. The life cubby app is not updated well at all. Most of my childs curriculum isn't even correct on it. Pictures aren't posted everyday, and im left with nothing to talk to him about in regards to school since i dont know what he did. Classes he doesn't go to are listed. Overall since i have seen almost EVERY daycare in this area, this one was the best despite my listed short comings. The cost is around the same as anywhere else. read more

Creme de la Creme is simply an incredible school - from the adorable setting and classrooms to the caring teachers to the impressive curriculum (which includes Spanish, Mandarin, & STEM just to name a few classes!). My twins have learned so much over the past two years they have spent here. I would highly recommend Creme if you are looking for an early learning center. As someone who was nervous to send her kids off to school for the first time, Creme has been nothing but a great experience for our family! read more

The best pre school in south jersey!!!! I sent both my kids to creme. Kelly and her staff are the best!

Creme is a great preschool that makes learning fun! When my son was 2 he kept saying this one word that I couldn't understand which was unusual because he spoke English very well at the time. We happened to be at a doctor's appointment and the doctor said, "he knows Mandarin?!" He was saying "hello" in Mandarin and I didn't even know it! By 3 my kids were counting to 30 in Mandarin and by 5 to 100 in English. Spanish is also mixed in there. Needless to say, Creme has a wonderful curriculum. They also teach valuable life skills. At my son's kindergarten screening, the teacher came over to get him from the table in Library. He stood up and carefully pushed in his chair. By the look the teacher gave me, she was not only surprised, but very impressed. I was very proud of him, but I give that credit to Creme. Creme is kept very clean and is a bright and cheery environment to stimulate the growing mind of children. I highly recommend Creme for early childhood education. read more

I've had three kids attend Creme for preschool through kindergarten. The curriculum for PreK and K is fantastic. My kindergarteners were learning first grade material by the second half of the year. They each were definitely well-prepared for first grade. Creme keeps the kids stimulated throughout the day changing classes for art, STEM, Spanish, mandarin, and computer--even the 2 and 3year olds. It's like a little high school :-). Overall I'm very pleased with my decision to send my children there. read more

Creme is definitely top of class when it comes to pre-school. I love that their philosophy is that pre-school begins at age 2. Our 2 year old son has been there for a month and enjoys going everyday, when that wasn't the case at his last daycare. In the beginning, we even traveled all the way from Philadelphia just to bring him to this beautiful school before we officially moved to NJ. So far in one months time, his vocabulary has improved and at the end of the day when asked he will say he had a good day at school. I'm in awe of the atmosphere and the curriculum. So happy with our choice and would recommend it to anyone looking for quality education. You get what you pay for in this instance. read more

The curriculum at Creme is better than at any other program in the area. They have Spanish 5 days a week, STEM 5 days a week, Mandarin 3 days a week (fall and spring), and many other classes. My children were doing above grade level/age level work. I had one of my children assessed at Kumon and was told she was at kindergarten level for reading and math - meanwhile, she is only 4 yrs old and still in preschool. This was certainly due to Creme's curriculum. The consistency, attention to learning, and keeping things fun have all made a big difference in my children's performance. If you are looking to provide your child with a solid foundation in early learning - this is a great place to start. The director has done a wonderful job at broadening the curriculum (i.e. adding Mandarin) and advancing it for the next gen. I only wish that the local elementary schools provided some of the same classes - Spanish, Mandarin, etc. read more

My daughter has truly blossomed over the past three years academically and socially. When searching for a pre-school, curriculum and a focus on education were top on my list. The curriculum Creme de la Creme follows is wonderful. My daughter has not only developed exceptional skills in reading, early math, and science, but has had the opportunity to be regularly exposed to Mandarin, Spanish, Art, Music - even robotics! The instruction she receives and the teachers dedication to inspiring pre-schoolers to learn far surpasses any expectations that I had. Ms. Kelly, the school's director, is completely committed to providing a warm and nurturing environment for children. Beyond my happiness with the school is my daughter's, which is most important. She is always eager to go to school and has wonderful relationships with her teachers. I am thrilled to have found an environment that has allowed my daughter to flourish and prepare her for her future education, while at that same time providing her an opportunity to have fun with the friends she has made. We've made countless wonderful memories. I know I'll be sad to leave when we transition in September! read more

My child has been attending creme for a year and I couldn't imagine her at any other school. Her progress during her time at creme has been nothing short of incredible. The staff and teachers are true professionals. My daughter looks forward to going to school everyday and doesn't want to leave when I try to pick her up early. I would recommend creme to any parent who is looking for an all around quality school to send there child to! read more
