She has grown from a shy baby to a confident pre-schooler who loves learning and making good friends.

This was a great value boost and the facilities were new and clean. We are extremely happy with our choice. The staff is friendly and responsive and our son loves his teachers. He has never had an issue being dropped off for the day (full day). Miss Karol has always been special to Cooper but he also is thriving with her new teacher, Miss Wendy since he moved up to the Toddler class. Everbrook Academy Closter is a wonderful, clean and caring establishment and our son is thriving here.

Better yet just sign up because everything about the camp is truly wonderful!

Don't hesitate to send your kids to this camp!

One would think they would read stories, play music, dance with the kids, or show them affection. Their day consists of them throwing toys on the ground and letting them play alone. They have video cameras so you can see the teachers sitting there ignoring the children and NEVER once clean a toy. We were only there for a few months, my child was sick all the time and the state visited twice. The best is you try talk to the director or CEO, neither answer and ignore you. All signs point to go somewhere else.

It's like the old saying its not what's on the outside but what's on the inside that counts , my thoughts exactly . The school smelled awful like poop . The baby gym had a funny smell inside of it .

Both directors are very unorganized I was told ,The teachers are friendly from what I experienced.

The teachers are always eager, positive and respectful in communicating with my daughter and provide music and singing on a daily basis. Not only is there an Alvin Ailey-trained dance instructor, but there is also a piano teacher who is a classically trained opera singer as well. I often catch my daughter in a ballet pose or playing a new tune she's learned on the piano. I have to say it's the most incredible place I've ever seen for a pre-K / K program. I love that my little one is all suited up and waiting by the car in 20 degree weather all ready to go to school. It's definitely worth a visit.

I knew that the new school my son would attend had to be great, meet the needs of my son and our family, have a sense of community, be well - established with strong leadership, and a kind and supportive staff.....and they had to have availability immediately. KinderCare, Old Tappan, NJ to the rescue! I called KinderCare, Old Tappan, NJ, and spoke with the Director, Ms. Jessica Epstein. She understand the urgency of the situation, and scheduled a same - day, evening tour (7 PM) so my husband could attend too. My son's future Teacher, Ms. Amanda also stayed late for the tour. The tour was detailed, organized, and thorough. Every question I had, had a thoughtful (and transparent) answer. My son gravitated to Ms. Amanda like they were long - lost friends; followed her directions; cleaned up the toys he began playing with; and upon leaving, gave the Director, Ms. Epstein a long, warm hug. He didn't want to let go! KinderCare, Old Tappan, NJ was friendly, supportive, and warm. I emailed the enrollment forms that evening. YIPPEE my son had a school, and it was great! .....but, never one to shy away from doing my due diligence, I kept the 7 other school tours I had already scheduled. The other schools were good, had their strong points, but no other school was great. I undoubtedly chose the best school for my son.
