    It's hard to put into words what the school means to me but it would be a disservice to not share…read moremy experience. My son did not have the greatest first year of preschool at a different school so I was a bit nervous before starting his new school year at Apple Montessori in Morris Plains. However, my worries went away immediately once we started the school year. I have always heard great things about this school and it makes sense why. From the start, we were given a very warm and welcoming introduction from the director. Ms. Rathjens, and assistant director Ms. Yun. Both are very involved with interacting with the kids and greeting them throughout the day. They are attentive and responsive, and my kids feel comfortable around them. My son's preschool teacher, Ms. Kellish, and the teacher assistants, Mrs. Morales and Mrs. Ikram, are caring, supportive, and organized. My son loves going to school and always shares how nice his teachers are to him. He has learned so much and has become more independent in class. They encourage him and it shows. My daughter's toddler room teacher, Mrs. Castano, and the teacher assistants, Ms. Ucles, Mrs. Millar, and Mrs. Charles, are all so patient, nurturing, and gentle. They have helped my daughter transition well to school and never hesitate to reach out in case of anything. I also love how they have food tasting every week. My daughter is constantly singing and dancing at home, and I know it's a result from her thriving at school. It feels relieving to know that my kids are in the best care and I don't have to watch the camera like a hawk to see how they are doing. Any time I check in, I see my kids are learning and playing, and are building their independence. The parent teacher communication and level of care are unmatched. The teachers really put forth effort into all that they do and I really appreciate it all. My only regret is not enrolling my son sooner for his first year of school. Do not hesitate to go for a tour and enroll

    I enrolled my son at Apple Montessori during their summer camp in 2023 when he was 2.5 years old…read more It has been an year of love, care, learning and so much fun for him! He has built friendships, developed so many skills, learnt to dance, work together and care for younger kids. This has been the best decision we made for him! Ms. Rasdell and Mr Wagner puts so much care and thoughtfulness in building the curriculum, making sure each child is getting the attention they need while also developing and focusing on their strengths. The school conducts so many events to give an opportunity for parents to network, for kids to develop new skills, have outdoor time, learn to work together and lead. I love the observation sessions and parent teacher conferences as well that gives us visibility into their day to day learning patterns and opportunities for growth! Looking forward to his tenure at Apple Morris Plains and all he learns during this time!!

    I have two daughters of whom both attend Denville KinderCare, ages 4 and 2. Every week that I drop…read moremy kids off I am blown away yet again about the personal touch, genuine care, and sincere love that both of my girls feel upon drop off. Vicky and her entire team are nothing short of phenomenal, And as a parent, knowing that your kids are in the best hands possible when not with you yourself, is just priceless. We had tried several other schools in the area over the years and finally landed here. We will not be going elsewhere until my kids are in school full-time. I highly highly recommend Vicky and her team to care for your children as they are the absolute best!!!

The new director Miss Vicki…read moreand her assistant Miss Suzan are both very nice and would answer any questions we had without making you feel like it annoys them. It took them a while to get the right people in and I think they got the best ones there could be. Everyone is compassionate, nurturing and caring. Miss Laura and Miss Chris were great when our daughter was in the "Discovery" group. Miss Chris gave me a lot of tips on potty training, which I am forever grateful for. Upstairs, Mr. Daniel and Miss Tee and simply the best!! We are moving, so we had to take our daughter out of school and I'm really hoping we'll find either another Kindercare or a school that is just as good. Thank you for caring for our Freya as well as you did!

The owners, Mr. Pavan & Ms. Nerale, the directors Stacy & Ashley, and the teachers Ms. Nicole, Ms. Anu, and Ms. Alex are nothing short of phenomenal. Every single employee treats you and your child like family. They quickly become your village, rooting for your child every day. They are patient, welcoming, and comforting - a safety net if you will. You can tell this is so much more than a mere job to them. Their love and care for children radiates in everything they do. My son goes to the daycare happily in the morning. He has learned so much already, and the activities they provide are always age appropriate tailored to engage kids and develop their skills. My heart feels at peace leaving my child there. There's nothing more I could ask for.

    Our kids were in a different day care since they were a year old until they were 6 years old.

Their process was so simple and everyone is very professional in their approach and attitude, not only that we joined our twins but also had been telling many parents who are not aware of this school age kids support program.

All the teachers at the center are so warm and friendly and even know both our children by name. The kids loveee going to school and love all their teachers, friends and the environment. I feel like both our kids have shown significant progress developmentally. I love that they provide programs for meals. It saves me so much time and money when I don't have to spend time to prep meals for school. I recommend this center to any families looking for good quality care for their children! Thank you so much KinderCare!

    I absolutely love sending my 7 month old baby to Kindercare. She started at 4 months old. At first,…read moreI was nervous sending her because she couldn't communicate back to me. She had no idea how to use a bottle when I sent her the first day and everyone was so patient with her. Chelsea, the director, has been so accommodating to every need and answers every question. Two months ago, my daughter got both her tongue ties clipped and they had no issues with her aftercare of massages inside her mouth. I love the open door policy and that I can call anytime and ask how my daughter is doing. I also love logging into the app and seeing her pictures and updates.. My baby loves going and playing with the other babies and the endless toys in the room. Thank you for providing a safe and loving environment for my daughter. We are so happy at Kindercare!

    A Pre-K to Learn and Play…read more If you have a need for a Pre-K that uses play based learning in the Morris Plains area then look no further than the Morris Plains Co-Op Playschool. Two different types of parent involvement are offered during the course of the school year, Co-Op or Non-Co-Op. The Non-Co-Op route is pretty much the standard drop your kids off and pick them up at the end of the day experience. This option costs a bit more. The Co-Op route involves helping the teacher of the class about once every 3 weeks on average. This option costs a bit less, but you gain an extra insight as to how your child is interacting in school and how they are developing throughout the year. An invaluable experience if you can afford the time commitments. The teaching staff here are wonderful and are obviously great with kids as evident by all the hugs they get when classes are finished. Afternoon preschool class time is filled with free play, directed art time, rug/circle time, singing, dancing, snack time, and playing. LOTS OF PLAYING! There is play time at the end of class either inside or outside depending on the weather. If the weather is nice, play time will be out on the playground behind the school. If the weather is less than cooperative, the children go downstairs to play in the basement that has been turned into an inside play space safe for little ones to play when their smiles are the biggest. Based on our family experience the Morris Plains Co-Op Playschool is a wonderful place to entrust your little one(s) to while they socialize, learn, and play for a few hours a week.
