Will start my review with "Don't judge a book by its cover"…read more School looks very nice, A total eye catcher. I sent my daughter to The Goddard at Paramus from October 2019 till January 2020, from that period of time my daughter got SICK inumerous of times, lots of visits to the doctor's office and Urgent care, she had a virus every other week, for the first time my 4 year old had to take antibiotics a very healthy kid who barely got sick before. After 3 months of seeing my daughter getting sick so many times me and my husband decided that we needed to get her out of that school. Problem Solved.

If you are looking for a daycare with genuine loving teachers and a safe and nurturing environment,…read morethis is the place to go. When i was looking for a daycare for my one year daughter that was closer to home Emma Daycare is the first one that came up when i put in my criteria. I visited them and it was love at first sight! The first thing that i was happy about is that to enter the classroom every parent had to wear booties, which keeps the classroom clean and germ free rather than each and everyone walking in with dirty shoes. This is a place where kids spend 8-9 hours daily and it is very important the environment is clean and dirt free to ensure they do not fall sick. I have never had my child with a dirty/runny nose as the teachers have always been kind enough to clean them so that when i pick them up in the evening they are still like they were in the morning. My daughter hardly fell sick while she was there. The teachers are extremely patient and tolerant and even though she took her time to be potty trained they never showed attitude when they had to clean her. Every year she had wonderful teachers who genuinely love the children and not just a show of. Academically they are very focused and if a child needs to be challenged because they may be ahead to behind the class they are done without questions. In addition to academics the extra curricular activities like Champ Fusion, Jujitshu, Dance all being in one places saved me the effort of driving her around as i did have another child to cater to. The Winter Shows, Monday Day, Pumpkin picking even the Photographs that were taken professionally have all only added to our wonderful experience and i would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this daycare to everyone i meet. (In fact i have referred a few). Oh did i mention food? It yummy and my daughters still asks for it! Thank you Emma Daycare for taking such good care of my daughter.

Despite the fact that I left two voicemails, no one bothered to call me back. I find it extremely disturbing that a daycare center was so unresponsive when they are responsible for looking after young children. Parents should be able to get in touch with a daycare easily in case of any emergencies. After informing me during the tour that they had space for my child, it was bizarre that they didn't call me back. Perhaps they didn't respond because they're racist and didn't want my African American child at their Russian daycare. Either way, it was insulting and they are extremely unprofessional. I would definitely not recommend this daycare to anyone.

Wow, where do I start ! I feel so bad giving this school a…read morepoor review but this has been weighing in on me for years. I've had my daughter in the lower school since 2016. My Ex-Husband, My daughter's father works in the design and marketing department. The school allowed my Ex-husband to use his Postion as a platform to harass me for as far back as my daughter's enrollment. Each parent logs into a parent portal to track thier child's progress and I was repeatedly locked out of my parent portal from 2016-2019. My name was removed twice from the aftercare release form and replaced both times with the name of my Ex-husbands live in girlfriend. Every school event would exclude my name from it's greeting cards. I complained on so many occasions that one director of one department would just brush me off to the director of another over and over again. My daughter lives with me in New York and she's with her father in New Jersey on the weekends but her report card would read in reverse and list him as a primary address and myself as a secondary. My private maiden name was once listed on the release form instead of My Ex-husband's last name which I carry. My private family name was completely unknown to the school and the modification could have only been made by My Ex-husband himself. Each of my daughter's teachers with the exception of one were confrontational or dismissive towards me and on occasion I'd catch them openly gossiping about myself or other parents. I had a child support increase modification which the school ignored for six months and that I had to pull my Ex-husband into court for while all along it was his employer who was defying thier legal obligations. The school falsified my daughter's amount of absences and lateness on her report card so much that there was a huge discrepancy between what the teacher reported vs what the nurse reported. In court my Ex-husband repeatedly blamed the tech department for all the electronic errors all along he himself is the site developer. It's just been such a disgusting experience at Dwight Englewood for me. Last Spring I emailed the school director to confirm that I would not be signing back on for the 20-21 school year in light of the pandemic. The director informed me that she had forwarded my cancellation email to my Ex-husband and she wouldn't accept my cancellation until she knew what the court said. when I refused to sign the 20-21 school year registration form by signature the same director told me that she had just rolled my information over from the year prior and that the school could proceed without me. The Dwight Englewood staff has literally bullied me for the past three years and I do not wish to ever revisit the experience that I've had at Dwight. In someways the school operates like the Mafia, I was treated so poorly and was always treated as If the school just expected me to just except the abuse because of how big and prestigious the school was. I'm disappointed and hurt, and The school shouldn't have taken sides and the issues should have been if not rectified at least addressed rather then ignored. It definitely wasn't the nurturing experience for myself and my daughter that you read about online.

If you have a child with any type of behavioral condition, even if it's just normal toddler…read morenaughtiness, they will discriminate. Mostly due the fact that it requires more work for the teachers/caretakers. Their goal is to do the least amount of work. They have no issues lying and making up facts so they don't have to do work. I had three professional evaluations completed and the only condition identified was a speech delay. I submitted the paperwork to the daycare for review. At the end, the reason behind not continuing my child was that he was "not a good fit" They will email you several pictures throughout the day of your child in an activity. In contrast, almost every time I've picked up my child from daycare, I've seen the teachers just standing there or talking to each other with no interaction with the children at all. The director takes several days to reply to emails or may not respond at all. Not every injury to your child is reported. They will lie to you and say your child did not get injured at daycare when you know well your child did not come in with a scratch. Things you give them can get lost. I dropped off a bag with 4 extra outfits and they denied it, essentially it's lost. FYI, in terms of safety, they leave the door to enter the classrooms unlocked at times. The system to type in your keycode never works. Essentially anyone can come into the building. I've had friends send their children to this daycare but it's not the nurturing environment and caring institution it once was anymore. I agree with the lack of ethics. I never expected a daycare could be manipulative and discriminatory as this one. I also caught them allowing my child to watch cartoon on an iPad. My child is has not acted out or had a behavioral complaint written up on him once since starting his new daycare. And no longer cries when dropped off in the morning.

A Disheartening Experience of Discrimination: Our Encounter with The Goddard School of Englewood…read moreCliffs: MUST READ THIS. I am a very fair person when it comes to giving reviews, and this is the most important one I have written so far. On Thursday, August 1st My husband, my son, and I went on a tour of this school on the recommendation of my almost 4-year-old son's doctor. We met with the owner, Ms. Stephanie, who was very professional. She explained the entire school system, gave us the costs, and showed us the facilities in great detail. We visited the classroom that would be assigned to my son, met the teacher, and my child was even able to enter the class and wanted to stay. We expressed to the owner, whom we believed to be the director, that we loved the school and agreed to bring the application and payments on Monday. We left happy and excited. During the interview, she observed our son playing and tidying up the toys before we left, and she even praised us and our son. We couldn't go on Monday, but on Tuesday August 6, at 9am in the morning, TWO BUSINESS DAY AFTER OUR TOUR.... I went to deliver the registration form, the registration fee, and the monthly payment, because we also told Ms. Stephanie that we are going on vacation and we want to enroll him before we leave and she agreed. This time, I was received by Ashley, who kindly took the documents and payments and asked me his age before scheduling the integration days, so she knew perfectly well what group he would be assigned to. She gave me the dates for our son's two integration days, which would be Monday and Tuesday, August 12 and 13, 2024. I went to work happy about the new beginning. But no more than five minutes after I left, the same director who had just received my check and documents called me and said I had to come back to pick them up because there was no space for my son for the school year. I was literally in shock and speechless, but when I managed to articulate, I told her it must be a mistake, and she insisted it was not. I asked to speak with the owner, Ms. Stephanie whom we met on our tour, but she was not available and wouldn't be for two days. In the end, the story is that my son has a mild autism diagnosis, which is only evident in his communication expression. He is a child without any type of bad behavior, trained to use the bathroom, follows all kinds of orders, is completely verbal, and extremely sociable to the point where he makes no distinction between strangers and acquaintances. His doctor recommended this school because of its structure to take advance of his fantastic brain, because since two years old he can read and already speak THREE LANGUAGE.... but I never imagined, especially after such a wonderful tour, that they would be DISCRIMINATORY towards a child because of such a common and normal condition as autism. I don't believe, nor will I ever believe, that the class was full because even if it were, it was inappropriate for this so-called director to call me after scheduling my son for a trial class. Such lack of ETHICS, how sad. And above all, I do not accept their apologies because, after telling Ms. Stephanie that we loved the school, she gave us the start date and all the details, accepted that we bring the payment, and then they did this to us. They played with our time, played with our hopes, and discriminated against my son because of a condition. When I returned to get my money, the director was completely rude and inconsiderate. She treated me like nothing, without elegance or education. She didn't even give me the option to put him on a waiting list because they are simply discriminators. I would never, ever recommend this place. And I have already sent an email to my doctor so she doesn't recommend it either. In a country as developed as this one, a country of inclusion and freedom, it is a shame for someone who has this business and is a teacher to behave with classifications and discrimination towards a child for any condition.

I'll start by writing this to share our happy story.  Primrose was my daughter's first experience going to (nursery) school and couldn't have been better.  I want to name ALL of the staff but this review would run on for miles! A special thank you though, to Mrs Lucas who has been there to greet us with a smile and kind words each morning, Mrs Flores & Mrs Jaber the co-directors-extraordinaire who make the magic happen with grace, all of my daughter's teachers and care givers -- with an extra special thank you to Miss Chante and Miss Kathy (or as she is so lovingly known in our home "Carrie the Carrot") who we will love always! My daughter just turned 3 years old and with that birthday is switching to a new school.  But we won't be strangers... we couldn't! We've simply come to love Primrose too much.

I went to high school here 5 years ago and absolutely loved every minute of it! They have great teachers and is a great prep school for college! Teachers and staff and very helpful, nice and full of knowledge! No time is lost in the classrooms here, they are always planned out perfectly! To top it off, there is a unique and wide variety of classes a student may choose to take! Grant it, tuition is A LOT of money but its worth every penny! The campus in general is just beautiful and it keeps getting better and better over the years! They have tons of sports teams and clubs to join! Great place to meet people from all over! They also don't let just anybody in, they have an admission process which is higly competitive. Transportation is available by school bus, cars and even the NJ transit bus goes right by the school as well! It won't hurt you to take a look at the school, they have tons of open houses and they also let you visit the school for the day as well if you are in 8th grade!

Too much focus is put on discipline & not enough on individualized learning. Also, for the cost of tuition, the school has limited resources.

Honestly, every school has its problems. I don't care if it's in the wealthiest town in Bergen County. Save your money. It all comes down to how you raise your children.

This is all important but a snap shot of how your child's day was would be nice. The place is pricy and we expected more for how much it costs. We will give it a few more months and decide whether to stay or go.
