Esthetics: KinderCare was very nice esthetically; our location resembled a cute little schoolhouse…read morewith clean grounds, clean interior (you don't smell any odor of poop or bleach... like some places I've toured), and definitely bright and airy. Everything I was looking for of the ideal poster image daycare. Both classrooms (1s and 2s); large & spacious, with sections for play, reading , lunch/craft table, and diaper changes/toileting; every child had there own cubby area w/ coat hook and bin (that have their facial picture and their names - cute touch!). Price Tag: Ideal = costly. The school tuition is expensive, however there are two perks; tuition includes blankets and all meals. You supply the typical stuff -- diapers and wipes (ointment, etc). There are additional classes called Learning Adventures (offered for an additional fee $50 per child), I signed my kids up for Music, which in my opinion was a waste of money. My children never hymned or sung the songs they learned at home. At the school they attend now, they do. The teachers there all seemed very nice and pleasant. Class size moderate 2:10 (varies each day). Staff: Stacey DeMarco, the school's director is very nice, however, you will not be dealing with her most of the time. It will be either Kristin, whom is the Asst Director and/or Megan, renamed the Program Specialist -- those two were not always the most personable or easy to talk to. In my opinion, that can make or break a school, and it definitely played a part with me removing my kids. Credentials: The school was in the final stages of becoming NAEYC accredited, which by now they are. However, the overall education factor wasn't there for me. I was looking for more of a preschool setting, with curriculum and pre-K preparation. It appeared to be more Playtime oriented, 1 and 2 year olds play, yes, but not all day, that didn't sit well with me. Other Stuff: There is definitely a nice diversified mix of kids. However, some of those kids displayed signs of biting, and also very sickly. My children were getting sick very frequently at this school; the policy they adhere to is the State's policy, so only if the child(ren) are feverish, has diarrhea, and/or vomiting -- will the children's parents be called to pick up a child. My daughter was sick and no one ever called me to tell me she was or appeared to be ill (i.e. watery eyes, runny nose, looked pail -- a teacher, and one who is a mother, should definitely be able to pick up on those signs). When a parent calls and everything is always fine or great, that raises an eyebrow for me, especially when its week one and two, and this is their first time going to school.

I would say keep your black children away from this school! my son hatedddd it i hated it everyday…read morea report oh he pushed this person he hit that person butttt when my son come home and i report it, it's he didn't have a physical mark on him. i call bullshit my son is a darker complexion and the other kids are white so of course a little redness would show. they tried to make my son look sooo bad. i would say this should be a whites only school! ms.Devyn fuckn sucks! she always treated my son different i would see how she would hug him when it was drop off because my son cried so bad everyday than immediately i see her as im leaving moving him away from her she's a racist! and my son first day in her class she called him boy and my sons dad said my son name is ace! if teachers cannot deal with kids of other races they shouldn't be allowed to teach. and all schools should offer some type of education on kids of different color. This school definitely needs to be investigated! the curriculum sucks! and they don't teach shit. kids don't even have a freakin WORK BOOK! also why are they charging so much for tuition but can't even get a proper photographer for the kids pictures c'mom! and the weirdos in the front act so concerned my son said melissa slapped him i definitely believe it now renee acts clueless to everything. my son also was having an allergic reaction and i noticed when i picked him up and took him to the doctor but let it be the other kids who don't look like his color they parents would've been called. The only teacher my son has ever liked was ms.gianna! she treated him so well and i believe she's probably the best there i hope she's leaves to find something better!! My son new teacher is very nurturing and loving and my son loves her soo much! i wish i found this school sooner. please keep your black children away from this dump everyday ms.devyn would write my son up and she wanted to have enough of them to kick him out but i said bump it and pulled him out! when she was on maternity my son never received a write up and i was getting good reports but soons she came back it was HELL!!' and he would even tell me all the teachers are so mean to him and would yell in his face. and he was very honest and said she kept doing it and he kicked her! i wanted to pull him before and i should've but i was told things would change and nope! that's my fault!! STAFF ARE NOT HONEST AND ALSO THERE NEEDS TO BE CAMERAS IN EVERY CLASSROOM! These teachers are not to be TRUSTED!

The director is always available as well.

Best points: 1) happy teachers 2) low attrition (we had same teachers all through the time my son attended here). This is the best thing as kids and teachers are familiar with each other and this reduced anxiety for my son. 3) alot of creative efforts are done for learning and making childhood fun. 4) unlike corporate daycare, here stable rules are made however there is possibility of flexibility based on our given situation. 5) it's hard to put all the good things here, however the grow up ceremony was the best we have seen. The amount of efforts put in to make kids feel special is something beyond my imagination. I highly recommend other parents in the area for their little ones. I promise you will have no regrets. 100%

Our daughter is…read moreabsolutely thriving thanks to the incredible teachers, thoughtful curriculum, and loving environment they create every day. She is excited to go to school, comes home having learned something new, and has grown so much socially, emotionally, and academically. The school is always spotless, communication is excellent, and every member of the staff genuinely cares about the children and their families. What truly makes Square One special is that they are so much more than a daycare - they are family. When our son was born and our family was going through a difficult time, they went above and beyond to support us with kindness, compassion, and flexibility that we'll never forget. Knowing our daughter is loved and cared for as if she were their own gives us complete peace of mind. We couldn't recommend Square One Kids Academy more highly to anyone looking for exceptional childcare.

The facility is really nice - big, well organized, and clean, and they take security very seriously which we truly appreciate. There have been a lot of fun extra options to participate in like soccer, a Halloween parade, and a holiday show. We definitely recommend Square One!

My wife and I both work in the city (at least pre-pandemic), so the dependable childcare that TLE Paramus has provided has been very important. We have seen incredible, consistent emotional, social, and intellectual growth by my son over the past two years, which undoubtedly is due to the rich learning environment that TLE Paramus provides. I cannot imagine sending my son anywhere else for childcare at this point. Also, TLE Paramus's leadership has done an impressive job managing the center during the pandemic. It has not been an easy situation for anyone, but the leadership has done a commendable job creating a safe environment and communicating news regarding illnesses and positive COVID cases.

My 4yo and 14 month twins have been here for a month now- true game changer in my 4 year olds life. She has been in childcare since she was 6 months old. In the past month I have noticed an improvement in both her language and behavior. For the first time she is excited about "going to school" each morning. Such a relief from the mommy guilt of leaving her each day to work full-time. She loves her teachers, classmates, and the curriculum. The facility itself is beautiful, and the staff truly cares about the children. I love the added programs at no added cost - sign language, Spanish, yoga, etc is all included in the fee. My 14 month old daughter signed "more" the other day when she was finished with her snack - it was amazing! My 4yo signed "please may I have some more" back to her right after. A SUPER proud mom moment, thanks to the teachers at TLE. I would recommend this facility to anyone with a young child in the area (from 6 weeks to 6 years.) I have visited a number of other early learning centers in the area and this one is leaps above the rest in every way!

I go to many daycares and I do not see this type of security at any of them. If I was looking in the area for childcare this school would be my number one choice.

The teachers and staff there are so nice, caring, and loving. My kids are genuinely happy going there, and when I pick them up, they are always so happy. While I think the curriculum is great, I am really more happy that my older one is more free thinking and creative. He doesn't always say the most obvious of things, but kind of clever - I believe it is just the atmosphere TLE provides - they teach, but aren't overbearing/strict. There are boundaries and rules, but it isn't like the kids are boxed in in their thinking. I think anyone will benefit having their children come here.
