It's a wonderful feeling to know that your child is above average when comparing with most other children of the same age.

It's a well run school lead by Ms. Hinkle, who is a wonderful leader as well.

He can focus on independent play and can easily go over an hour doing an activity. Then, magically, he cleans up what he was working on. This is almost all the time when he sits at the kitchen table and less so in his room on the floor. I attribute his independence and organisation to the Montessori method. The teachers and school directors are fantastic at what they do and our kids really like going to Apple. Thank you Ms Lupo, Ms Cardona, Ms Serjani, Ms Tela and all the other wonderful teachers!

He is happy when I pick him up and always has something exciting to tell me about his day. I know he is in good hands at My Special Spot

We work long hours so he's there all day (2nd kid in last one picked up), but he's very happy. The teachers are all very kind, the school is very clean, and there's lots of learning and stimulation. He hasn't been ill once (no fevers, ear aches, just the normal sniffles sometimes) which is more than I can say for any of my friends kids. This is because of the strict sanitary protocols there. They also have the best ratio of any daycare, and the teachers in his room are warm, happy, and patient women. All the teachers in general smile and seem to enjoy their jobs. I have absolutely no concerns when he is there, and he gets very excited when I am dropping him off. The school is very well run, and the owner Jeff is always there and knows all the kids and families well. There's a big outdoor play area and playgrounds, a gym area with a ballpit our son loves, a library with tons of books, and it's a nice modern building. They do lots of fun learning activities with the kids like hatching baby chicks, butterflies, zumba, yoga, and music classes. Also the price is the same as every other local daycare, but way more services. We checked them all out and are fully convinced we made the best choice with Special Spot.

It saves me so much time and money when I don't have to spend time to prep meals for school. I recommend this center to any families looking for good quality care for their children! Thank you so much KinderCare!

Coming from a family who had a baby born during these crazy COVID times, you can imagine how…read morestressed as first time parents we were when it came to placing our daughter in daycare. Whippany KinderCare has turned out to be one of the biggest blessings for our family for so many reasons. One of the things we are so impressed by and pleased with is how much the director (Chelsea) and assistant director (Leah) are involved with all the kids. If we ever have a question, they always are aware of how our daughter is doing because they keep tabs with her teacher on the regular and can answer anything with confidence. Seeing how our daughter was progressing, it was suggested that we move her up a class. We were a little nervous to do this six weeks early but with their support and after being offered to do a trial day, to our surprise everything went amazingly well! Our daughter is learning so much and we already see such an improvement in her language development (both sign and vocal) and other skills like how to use utensils and not throw food at the table. It truly is such a joy to see how much she is growing here. As a parent, you obviously want nothing but the best care for your kid and we have no doubt we made the right decision with Whippany KinderCare. Especially during the pandemic, knowing that the center has been taking every reasonable precaution (temperature checks at the door, constant sanitizing of the school, the use of masks for teachers and children, no outside toys, etc.) further gives us peace of mind that our daughter is in safe hands. We really couldn't be happier and feel so grateful to have found this center and appreciate so much how much love and care all the teachers and staff give towards our daughter.

Head teacher Loretta claims to have been running school for "30 plus years." A couple of my issues…read morewith her are 1) she says she had to write up a report due to my son hitting someone or pulling hair. I have NEVER seen one of these reports and he has attended almost a year. 2) she strapped my son to a high chair to get him to stop Running around. 3) she said she went over every behavioral need that he needed though we never once had one meeting about my son to figure out a game plan. 2) my child is very active and doesn't want to sit around doing circle time or coloring or dancing he always has to be doing something. These girls (who are not trained only like 2 of them have been there a couple years) don't wanna deal with a child like that. 3)my son was always left to the side. I've had to leave work early, or not go in at all because he was "acting up" EVEN THOUGH he hugged every child on that playground before he left to go home with me. 4)Loretta tells me at 4:30pm in the middle of the week that my son is no longer wanted at her school and she wants him out. She said "were asking he doesn't come in tomorrow... three teachers of mine quit because of your son I'm Not going to jeopardize my business because of one kid" because of this I now sit home everyday and have lost my job due to no child care because every other daycare I have called is full. Minus the attitude from staff (who's children attend the school as well) and the "head owner" Loretta there are 20 plus minutes of wait time when you text that you're here for your child. Or there are multiple clothing articles that I have not received back OR I have gotten by mistake every day AND asked on my personal time to DRIVE to the school to return said articles of clothing to the right parent!!!! Are you serious?. With that being said.... Thank you Loretta you knew my situation when I came to you and assured me that you "work with children" you don't "give up." Bull SHIT and a big fuck you.

Disappointing Experience. As a concerned parent, I feel compelled to share my disappointing…read moreexperience. First and foremost, the lack of communication from staff members was incredibly frustrating. Important updates regarding my child's progress or any incidents at school were nonexistent. There was no way to know what the children were doing all day at this daycare. They would not come home with any projects, homework, not even a piece of artwork in the month and a half we were there. Furthermore, the curriculum seemed outdated and uninspired. My child showed little enthusiasm for the activities provided, suggesting a lack of engagement and stimulation. It's disheartening to witness such a lackluster approach to early childhood education. Aside from the aspects of the education and staff, my child consistently had unusual episodes of accidents and vomiting that did not seem to be linked to any infection or illness. On the most upsetting occasion, during lunch time, my daughter had told a staff member that she needed to use the restroom and was told that she has to wait. She ended up going number two in her pants in the lunch room. She is 4 years old and has never had an accident as such since being potty trained at 2. She consistently told me that they would tell her she has to wait until after lunch to use the restroom. When I spoke to the owner, she was inconsistent with her story about the incident. Originally telling me that she never told anyone she had to use the restroom, then she speaks very quietly and they will have to work with her to speak louder, and finally that the teacher did come up to her and asked her if she had to go number one or number two and she said number one. As if whether she had to pee or poop would make any of this better. Fast forward one week and during lunch the staff member told her to finish her food, but she did not like it. She ended up throwing up instantly as I put her in my car after school and in tears telling me she didn't like the food she was told to finish. All of this could be over looked if I didn't reach out to SEVERAL other families in Livingston that had similar experiences and had left this day care as well. So far I have yet to meet someone who has something good to say about this day care. These are just a few of my experiences at this facility, which I have plenty more of. The owner also has a ridiculous policy to notify them one month in advance if you decide to leave or you lose your deposit. So basically, my child is miserable there and I have to force them to continue to go for one more month or we lose our deposit. Obviously I care for my child far too much to put her through any more of this. I was so upset over this entire experience I did not even bother to return to pick up my children's belongings leaving behind some clothing and slippers for 2 children. Just stay away, there are plenty of lovely and wonderful daycares, including Russian based day cares, around our areas to choose from. This place is very cold and not a pleasant experience for any child or parent.
