It is a very nurturing environment and very safe. My daughter has not only learned a lot, but has become more social. This is a great place, in my opinion, priceless. This is not a daycare, but a school! There is structure and learning. Very affordable! Just the best place!!!

Appletree is truly a part of our village as we raise our daughter. The directors and teachers know…read moreher so well and make her feel welcomed and loved. They go out of their way to make sure she is safe, fed, clean, and happy. The director always calls me ASAP when I email, call, or text them with concerns or questions. They post pictures and activity updates throughout the day on their app. They provide time for play as well as themed lessons, social emotional learning, STEM, and art projects. They celebrate holidays and birthdays, creating a space that my daughter looks forward to going to each day. If you decide to join the Appletree family, your child will be in good hands!

Choosing Appletree was one of the best decisions our family has made. Our 3 y/o started at…read moreAppletree in January after never having been in daycare before. He adjusted so well due to the amazing staff of teachers. The staff is so accommodating; they have answered all of our questions right away and send frequent updates throughout the day about your child. It is awesome to watch all of the activities and lessons the kids engage on throughout the day. With the pandemic, the school has been extremely cautious and following all of the state guidelines and hygiene protocols. My husband and I feel completely comfortable sending our son knowing the school is as prepared as they are. Since starting at Appletree, our son has become more social with other children, has displayed more patience, and his vocabulary has increased. I would give the testers and the school a 10/10!

My daughter attended Topstone Montessori for about two years, and overall we had a very positive…read moreexperience. The teachers are warm, patient, and genuinely care about the children. We always felt that my daughter was well cared for, and communication with the teachers was clear and reassuring whenever we had questions or concerns. Academically, she learned a lot, but what stood out to us was the strong focus on independence and daily life skills. She learned how to follow routines, take responsibility for her work, and be more confident in her day-to-day activities. We noticed these changes not only at school but also at home. The classroom environment felt calm, organized, and supportive, which really helped her enjoy learning and feel comfortable. We're grateful for the foundation she built here and would recommend Topstone Montessori to families looking for a caring environment that supports both academic and personal growth.

My son has been going to TLE Paramus for the past two years (since he was about 3 months old). The…read moreentire staff and the director Nicole has been amazing the entire time and made us feel like part of the TLE family. 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.

I could not be happier having my three kids spend their days at this beautiful early learning…read morecenter. 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!

That's My School II is fantastic. The staff are so nice and they really care about your children…read more I've sent four of of my five children there (and will be sending the fifth) and they still remember my 13 year old! The crafts the children do are so cute and creative! We travel 10 miles each way for this school because we love it so much. Even though there are at least 4 closer schools, we pick this because we know our kids are going to get the best care and preschool education there. And again... just want to say the staff are amazing, they really care about our kids and they are the reason we just keep coming back!

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.
