If there are any conflicts among the children they let you know at pick-up. They cater a hot lunch from a local Russian deli, which includes a soup, protein and vegetable. Far easier than sending your own lunch, and far healthier than any other daycare I visited - no chicken fingers and fries here. They are open later than most; follow a classroom environment with lesson plans for even the youngest class; great helping with potty training; get the kids outside every day (weather permitting); plan fun fieldtrips in the summer. The only drawback is the older facility, but there has been updates to A/C units, new flooring, etc., and they do have entrance security. If we had a third, we would not hesitate to send them to AdventureLand.

They exceeded my expectations of a safe environment, loving teachers, and an impressive curriculum for nine years! My oldest is now 9 yrs old with my other son four years younger and both have been at TLE from their infant room with Miss Elizabeth to PreK 2 with the master teacher, Mrs. Adewale! In between, there are so many caring teachers and helper teachers who treated my boys like their own, including helping them make good choices with behavior, helping me teach them how to blow their nose, say please and thank you, potty training them, reminding them they love them, ...the list goes on and on and I really appreciate all the maternal help throughout the years. My youngest just graduated PreK2, but I saw first hand how my older son was reading and writing close to a 1st grade level by the time he was starting Kindergarten because of the challenging TLE curriculum that includes all subjects, even science experiments! (I'm a science teacher.) From the moment they started, I've been consistently impressed by the dedication, warmth, and professionalism of the entire staff. The clear day-to-day communication from the amazing business director, Bina Zalawadia and director, Coreen Ensmenger, makes me feel in-the-loop and comfortable. Thank you for providing such an exceptional foundation for their early learning. We are truly blessed to have found TLE of NB and can't recommend you highly enough to other families.

The teachers are engaging and truly care about the kids, the facility has everything you can ask for, and the Directors are hands-on and make sure that the kids and teachers enjoy being there which in turn, makes the parents happy! My son was in the infant room for a year and I loved his teachers, they respected my "first time mom" concerns. He is now in the toddler room and it's amazing how much he has learned and how much he loves his friends and teachers. It's obvious how well cared for he is when he runs out of the apartment when I say it's time to go to "school." I feel very blessed that we are a POA family!

Second, I was a parent on the trip that you're complaining about. Yes, we had the stunning audacity to take a city bus across town to Central Park. Just like hundreds of parents have the gall to take their children to school on public transport every morning. The children were not acting like animals, banging on windows - in fact, I see far worse behavior on buses from older children on a daily basis. Every single child had a parent with them on that bus, there was no danger to anyone. I'm sorry if your travel this morning was disrupted by our presence; these are the chances one takes when one rides **public** transportation.

Our family's experience with Montclair Cooperative School was devastating. After touring and being…read moreassured that our son -- a twice-exceptional, academically gifted child on the Autism spectrum -- could be supported, we submitted his records. Almost immediately, the admissions office reversed course and told us they would not move forward with his application because of his disability, saying he would be "better served" in public school. His academic strengths and test scores were ignored. This is not just disappointing, it is discriminatory. The school has accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants and forgivable loans, which means it is legally bound under the ADA, Section 504, IDEA, and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination to provide equal access. Instead, it shut the door on our son because of his diagnosis. We pursued every available appeal, including with the State of New Jersey. Even though the state acknowledged the facts, they declined to pursue the case further -- not because discrimination wasn't present, but because they lacked confidence in prevailing in court. Families should know that if your child has a disability, this school may exclude them rather than work with you. For a school that markets itself as progressive and community-oriented, our experience was the opposite. Parents of neurodiverse children: proceed with extreme caution.
