    I had to call the child abuse hotline on this place because I found a toddler in the parking lot…read moreunsupervised. My wife observed staff leaving kids on the changing table to get extra clothes. At one point she saw a staff member scratching another one's scalp dropping dandruff where the kids eat. I was accused by staff of calling the child abuse hotline a second time when a report was filed that staff to child ratios were not being maintained. I knew nothing of this situation but the last straw was that even though I did not make the call I felt that the staff seemed more concerned with who made the report than correcting the problem. I pulled my son out of there due to obvious concern for his safety but the owner would not refund me my secuirty deposit. Place is poorly run and disorganized. Price is cheap but you clearly get what you pay for. Avoid at all costs. Also, I believe that the owner of the facility responded to my review on another site with a fake one. Real classy and professional!

    the staff were OK. they had a couple teachers who were amazing, actually two. and they also…read moreemployed a young girl by the name of Saba who I would always get into it with because she always had something to say. I believe that I am the paying customer and I am always right but with here that wasn't the case. One day I came into the daycare because I wanted to check up on my son while napping and not a teacher was insight or in the building. After being in the daycare for about 10 minutes a teacher came running over and told me that she was sorry and had to go run and get something from the building next store. Not to mention, there were children standing up and walking around without supervision. So many times I have been upset at this place and how they run their business, its horrible. Betty has a nasty attitude- she seems nice at first but we had gotten into an argument once I pulled my son out of the daycare and confronted her about her nasty and unorganized location and she threw my sond playard and toys on the steps, which was very unproffessional. I wouldn't recommend anyone go here, maybe the one in Piscataway but this one is not ran well.

    In my opinion, this day care is THE BEST DAY CARE in town (and neighboring towns). Let me start off…read moreby saying, that similar to many parents, I researched many daycares before choosing a location. In addition, my child attended two other day cares before we landed here. The way the teachers interact with the children is wonderful to see. The teachers are firm and consistent in their approach to bad behavior (ie. removing the child from the space, talking to them, explaining why, etc.). They are kind and patient, they teach, they have fun (art, shaving cream, dancing). It's truly the BEST DAYCARE IN TOWN. My daughter has learned so much!!!!! Examples - ABC's, sign language, how to write, even some Spanish colors, and so much more. The Director, Johana is phenomenal, as well. My daughter was having a behavioral issue 2-3 months into joining. She was ok with the other children but she was not listening to the teachers and displaying behavior that was not her normal behavior. I believe this was because we just changed daycares and in parallel I was transitioning her into her own room / bed. Johana sat me down and explained all the issues and the impact it was having. She gave some recommendations on what we could work to implement, together, to try and rectify the problem. She was also very clear on how long we had to try and implement a solution (before we would need to change schools). All things I truly appreciated because there was over communication on the problem, a willingness to work together to try and resolve the issue, and a clear deadline. In the end, I was finally able to get through to my daughter and her morning statements of "I don't want to go here!!!" changed into "I can't wait to tell Ms. Caila XYZ" or greeting Mrs. Johana on the way to excitedly join Ms. Temu's class. Their willingness to try and work with you (as a parent) and their dedication to providing a safe, fun, and educational place for all the children is impeccable. You won't regret sending your child, here.

    Can't say enough wonderful things about Lightbridge Academy, my son thrives and is always happy to…read morecome here. As a parent one of the most important things is to know your child is safe and well taken care of and this is exactly what we feel here. Nothing can compare to having peace of mind knowing that our son is in good hands. Also, the staff and teachers are wonderful and easy to communicate with. We are beyond happy with Lightbridge Academy! Keep up the good work! :)

    A few of the things we love about the Goddard School Piscataway:…read more * Friendly teachers & staff * The playground * Healthy snacks * Following all COVID guidelines * Show and Tell Truly, our daughter could not be happier, she is learning so much and making new friends. During this difficult time, we are so happy she has found a safe place to learn and grown socially. We cannot thank you enough!

    Picking and choosing their enrolled children? Or are they racist?…read more Advance warning - long post I am (or use to be) a huge Goddard School fan. My first born went to two Goddard Schools, in #NorthBrunswickGoddardSchool and #BranchburgGoddardSchool. As I was expecting my second born, I obviously turned to one as well which is near my work. Also a current co-worker has one of there children currently enrolled and soon to be expecting her second one soon. So with no question asked, my husband and I (with another co-woker) went to take a tour of this facility. We were looking for January/February (2018) enrollment but was told there was a waiting list and the next availability would be in March 2018. I asked if there is anything we could do to ensure our spot for March, and was told by the owner Laura that taking a tour would put our name on the wait list automatically, nothing else needed. I went above and beyond with my work to get a delay start of March so my New Born could go to the Goddard school as preferred. I recently called at the end of November to ensure my son's guaranteed spot for March was still available. First, I spoke with the director, who was very standoffish on the phone. She informed me there wasn't any spots available until April 2018 now. I was SHOCKED! I had asked for the director, Laura who at that time was not available. Few days later, I had called back to speak with her and left her a msg. She left me a voice mail, stating "my director had informed you about everything already, if you are still unsure give me a call back." She's lucky that I did not hear that voicemail until I had called her back already, otherwise she would have gotten a piece of my mind. When I called back, Laura informs me that the next availability is early Spring, once I asked what that means she says Early May!!! I was very disappointed. Still keeping my composure, I had asked how is that possible and when was anyone going to inform me about this change..? I had sacrificed my maternity leave to ensure my son had a spot in March. She stated during the time of the tour that they would contact us when a spot was available a deposit was not needed because the tour was sufficient. The story changed when I inquired further. She explained that we do not call to let you know, if you want to ensure your spot, you need to put in a deposit." I was stunned! I told her that this is new and this information was not told. I continued on by saying that I had specifically asked her about a deposit and had brought my checkbook as well to make one. Her response was, "I apologize if you did not understand me, but this is how we have been doing it for past 23 years, this is nothing new." (talk about customer service people!) Biting my tongue and keeping my chin in mind, I had asked her if she could email me the enrollment paperwork since I wanted to have a guaranteed spot for next availability, I would try to drop it off or drop it in the mail with check etc. Now, 24 hours later, the next day, I have NOTHING! Not a single paperwork in my email inbox. Later that day, I had confirmed with both my husband and my co-woker who went with us to confirm if I was having a Pregnancy Brain and totally misunderstand her during the tour of having a spot available in March and tour is sufficient enough OR she did NOT mention any deposit? Both confirmed my understanding. So clearly Laura, you had provided me with wrong info and two other people confirms it. To make this even more interesting, my co-worker whom I recommended this place to, took a tour, and during the tour, she was asked to make a deposit. Now, her New Born has a guaranteed spot for March. As you can imagine, this is why I feel we are being ignored and purposely not provided a spot, interestingly enough, both of my co-workers are White. During the tour, I had noticed very little to hardly any minorities in the entire school. In the current New Born Classroom, there were zero minorities! And they are clearly going above and beyond to not only be very unprofessional, and providing me with wrong information to me just to ensure that my mixed African -American/ Asian child would not get into this facility. SHAME ON YOU #GODDARDSCHOOLPISCATAWAY. SHAME ON YOU #Goddardschool!

    My 17m toddler started with daycare about 3 months now. Yes he's gotten sick like 5 times, but he's…read morealso the type that likes putting everything in his mouth still. It also took about 2-3 weeks before he adjusted and stopped crying at drop off, but now he seems like quite the happy camper. We have 10 daycares in a 3mile radius. I went through a very through analysis, weighing pros and cons of my top 6 picks, and TLE somerset came out on top. If you want to nerd out, details here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WQ-ovFOmSkIKbl0gHo7dVcdvA3TnhRMNagCTfrsFbms/edit?usp=drivesdk The biggest pros were: snacks/lunches included (because ain't got time for packing food), very flexible schedule (part time or full time or whenever pickup and dropoff), long term staff and teacher that seem to really like kids, and reasonable costs. In terms of education, no idea how much a little person with the attention span of a goldfish can really learn, but he is constantly surprising me with words and hand signals that I know I never had the patience to teach. He's on to colors and counting now. He also roars when he sees dinosaurs. A few weeks ago, the center called to let us know about a mysterious bump on his head, and that they're concerned and will keep an eye on it. It turned out to be just a small mosquito bite he got from the night before (that I already knew about), but it showed that they do pay attention to the little things. Both parents and kiddo are happy with the experience here so far! Now if they could do something about the traffic on Easton Ave... that would be great =)

    My 22 month daughter loves going to school at TLE Somerset, she's been attending 5 days a week…read moresince she was 5 months old. Heather, the Director, and staff treat us like family. We've been told over and over by friends and family in the early childhood education field that our daughter is thriving. Her social and learning skills are advanced but learning is never forced. We're very happy with TLE.
