My daughter loved the over the top themed treats and the school trips (pre covid). This year due to the covid restrictions parents are not able to enter the school and the children are screened daily before entering. Ms. Susan is the best Kindergarten teacher and the curriculum is advanced!! My daughter loves the fun Science experiments !!! We also have to give a big thanks to Miss Maddie who is always so thoughtful and a great asset to BBA. We made the best decision sending our daughter to BBA!! We will miss the staff but are so grateful for the foundation that was built as our little one heads to public school . We know she is well prepared and will excel thanks to the amazing teachers she had at BBA .

It was a learning experience and a fun experience for my granddaughter.

Here it is in the mid 2011's, and I am sending my grandson there. The children are taught how to socialize with other children, along with how to respect themselves.

God Bless the staff and children at LPDN .I hope LPDN will be around when its time for MY Great grand children to go there!!

We enrolled our 3-year-old son at Sacred Heart with high hopes for a loving, nurturing Christian…read moreenvironment. Sadly, in under six weeks, our experience became extremely stressful and heartbreaking. From the start, we received repeated negative feedback about normal toddler behaviour. One bathroom accident was described to us as "the worst in six years." We were told his removing his shoes in class (normal in our home) was a problem rather than something to be understood. On his first full day, because he didn't nap, we were encouraged to move him to half days. By the end of the month, his teacher suggested he might be "better off returning next year." Shortly after, we were informed that our son was on "strike 5" due to having more bathroom accidents than the school allows. This was devastating especially because he had just undergone umbilical hernia surgery and was on a doctor-prescribed daily laxative, which caused temporary loss of bowel control. Once we realized how serious it had become, we immediately provided doctor's notes and full transparency. Instead of compassion, we felt pressure and judgment. Our son began feeling uncomfortable approaching staff when he needed help, which no child especially at this age should ever feel. We did not choose to withdraw him. We felt pushed out by policies that allowed no grace for a child healing from surgery. The emotional toll on our family was overwhelming. A faith-based school should lead with patience, understanding, and care. Sadly, that was not our experience. I share this so other parents can make an informed decision.

I put my kid in this playschool. He went to the playschool only for four days and the director…read moreasked us to drop him form the playschool just because he was crying. The Director Seema told us that since he is crying a lot, the teacher is unable to concentrate on other kids and wanted us to drop him. The director told us the my kid is not mentally prepared or matured and he is crying a lot and doesn't understand what we were talking and also said he was very anxious. However, my kid went there only for twice a week and he went there just for four days. He was dropped from the playschool in just four days and they didn't even wanted us to try my kid out for a month at least. We in fact requested them to increase from twice a week to four days week or at least thrice a week so that he has some continuity. They declined this too. Shouldn't they have given enough time for my kid to settle down? But they didn't given enough time for my kid to settle down and insisted on dropping my kid from the playschool just because he was crying. They should have in fact tried to instill some confidence to parents but they didn't. When they dropped my kid, I requested them to refund the registration fees at least. Why would someone want to pay the registration fees when they drop a kid in playschool in just four days. They said the registration fees can't be refunded as well. They are totally unprofessional and I felt very stressed out as a parent leaving my kid in this playschool. The main problem is that the school is understaffed and there is only one teacher for 10 students.

We love Today's Learning Center. Our 2 children have been attending since we moved to Cherry Hill…read morein December 2015. They are nurturing, attentive and caring. I am amazed at how much my kids have learned, since they started attending. Today's Learning Center provides a fun environment that is also educational. My kids love their teachers and Sima and Jessica (The Director and Assistant Director) have been wonderful resources. They are always there and open to discussing any questions I have. My son starts Kindergarten in September and I am going to really miss getting to do drop-offs and pick-ups where I get to know all of the kids, parents, and teachers. I read the other reviews and feel badly that they had negative experiences because I truly feel TLC is a great place to send your kids.

I can not rave enough about the Pre-school at Temple Emanuel…read more I sent my daughter, who was not yet 2 at the time, to camp here. The program was 2 hours long. I was incredibly nervous, as she has never gone to day care or any such program. The staff was amazing (thank you Deb and Jeanie), and they had a handful to deal with. I was a crying fool the first 2 days. My daughter LOVED it! So much so that I signed her up for 5 days of pre-school. Lynn and Jeanie are wonderful! They truly love their job and it shows every single day. My daughters teachers, Laura, Donna, and Mindy are fantastic! My daughter is the youngest in her class, but that has not stopped her from anything. In fact, school has helped her in so many ways from speech development to social skills. She loves going to school, her teachers, and her friends. I was even nervous about adding the 2 extra days, but I truly think it was one of smartest decisions!

My child really enjoys going there and is excited in the mornings walking in. As a parent I can say one of the things that is always cautious is that you never know a 100% what is going on with your child so a lot of trust is involved but from what I have seen and the reactions I get from my child they have a very fun hands on program with the kids and you couldn't really ask much more. I will probably re-review in the coming years when my child enters the older classrooms to see how the development is handled. As of now though it is pretty good.

With another baby on the way, it would have been a disservice to his early education if I kept him home while caring for a newborn. I scrutinized every school in the area, and found a home at Chesterbrook academy! My son absolutely flourished in this warm, inviting, and most of all educational environment. Friends and family just can't believe how smart he's become, which is a real testament to the excellent facility, curriculum, and teachers. If you're looking for a place you can trust, with an exceptional staff for your child to grow in every way- choose Chesterbrook academy in Voorhees!
