He is thrilled to attend each day. He loves his teachers and his classmates. He comes home happy and with a daily craft or activity to share with us. His teachers, Mrs. Molter and Ms. Conte are amazing. Very responsive and they also share weekly pictures on a private Facebook page for just our class. Most of all, we know that our son is SAFE at school. They have handled the pandemic and protocols extremely well and we are appreciative. They even have valet drop off and temp checks! Their attention to detail allows our son to have social and educational interactions with his peers while also staying safe and healthy. Samantha and Ken W.

Given our current circumstances, due to COVID-19, choosing a daycare to send our almost 6-month-old…read moreto was no easy feat. Back in November, I toured three local daycare facilities in Mount Olive, New Jersey, the town in which I live. The moment I stepped into the Bright Horizons facility, I knew this was a place I could trust with my unborn son at the time. It was evident that cleanliness was a top priority for the center even before the recent pandemic. To be honest, this was how I chose Bright Horizons over the other two centers I looked at in the area. During my tour, they even gave me questions I should ask other centers. I appreciated that, given this was my first time choosing a day care. When the time came to for me to go back to work, of course as a mother and a teacher myself, I was afraid of the unknown; however, thinking back to November I felt a sense of comfort knowing such a high standard was already put in place. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, the Mount Olive facility was delayed in opening due to facility maintenance issues. Director Jen was transparent and supportive during this time to ensure come September, my son would have a safe school to attend. My husband and I made the decision to send our son to the Rockaway facility while we are waiting for the Mount Olive Center to reopen. Jen made sure to personally call me to check in with updates on the center's reopening status, when she could have just easily emailed me. She truly cares for the families. I highly recommend and trust Bright Horizons.

My daughter started going to the Goddard School when she was 2 years old and is now 5 yrs old…read moregetting ready to graduate from the Pre-K class. Being a first time mom and fairly new to the Randolph area, my husband and I researched and toured every single preschool. As soon as I entered the Goddard School, I knew it was the right place for my daughter. I was immediately drawn to their state of the art fingerprint security system along with an outstanding curriculum, generous classroom space and a safe and immaculate, age appropriate playground. The school is warm and inviting. The halls are decked out with artwork and pictures of the faculty and students. The classrooms are bright, spacious, cheery and filled with countless educational tools and areas designed for pretend play, fine motor skill activities, reading, writing and listening centers and individual cubbies for the children. My daughter loves going to school everyday and I have seen a vast improvement in her social skills as well as her speech and language skills. She excels in math and science and can even read thanks to "sight words." She has learned quite a few Spanish words and knows a ton of sign language. As she enters kindergarten in September, there's no doubt in my mind that she is much better off to have gone to the Goddard School. I have grown extremely fond of all her teachers over the past 3 years. They have all been beyond helpful, extremely caring, sincere, nurturing, loving and exemplify what teaching is all about. The director, Miss Leigh Ann, is absolutely incredible. The knowledge she has and the willingness to help in any and every situation goes above and beyond her job title. If I ever have a care or concern, Miss Leigh Ann always puts my mind at ease. She is a true gem! Miss Daniele, the assistant director, is exceptionally friendly, efficient and professional. I know I can go to her with any question and she will have a solution. The owners, Miss Anne, Mr. John and Mr. Jonathan are always welcoming and pleasant. I can always rely on a smile whenever I see them. They run a tight ship and it feels as though we are all a part of one big, happy family. If you're looking for a fun, educational, loving and safe place to send your child, the Goddard School is it!! Erica A. Randolph, NJ

Westmont educated me while educating my children and now I am an advocate for life. My children, now 7 and 3 have experienced countless benefits from the Westmont environment and I feel so strongly about the community, teachers, administration and leadership that I was driven to action to post my very first YELP review to say as much. Westmont has each and every student's best interest at heart and I have seen that demonstrated over the course of my last 3+ years affiliated with the school. The academics and social/emotional curriculum is second to none. The community we entered has provided lasting friendships for my children and my spouse and I that have become our foundational friends in this community of Chester/Mendham that was new to us. You will not regret giving your children the opportunity to thrive at Westmont. Please reach out with any questions because as a business person I value a balanced and objective perspective but I also have very high standards so when a business exceeds those standards, especially when my children are the benefactors, I had to post a review!

I would recommend it for anyone that cares about their child and values education.
