The educational activities are engaging and age-appropriate, fostering both social and cognitive development. We're grateful to have found such a supportive daycare that our children look forward to attending every day! Ricardo Ferreira

    Where do I start...My child started TLE river vale in September 2023. After rave reviews from…read morefriends whose children attend at other locations, we hoped to have the same experience. Upon our tour we were sold on nutritious meals, small intimate classrooms, clean environment, and caring staff. We were extremely misled by TLE. The first few months put our minds at ease with the access of the TLE app. This told a story of our child thriving, eating every meal and participating in activities. We came to find out the app was extremely inaccurate. Upon speaking with the teachers we were told our child wasn't eating at all after we've been lied to for months about our child's eating via the app. Not only was this extremely irresponsible of TLE but this was also neglectful to not tell us that he was going days without eating and posting photos "to show face". My child started with 12 children in the class in September. Currently the class has 16-18 children which is extremely unsafe! It is impossible for a class that size to be properly cared for with the number of teachers provided. When it comes to a clean environment TLE is NOT the place. There have been multiple instances at pick up where these is a mess of food left on the tables from earlier lunch. While I know kids are messy, my child would come back from school filthy which I'm sure contributed to the amount of urgent care and sick visits monthly. The teachers were very nice I felt bad they were dealing with limited resources and staff. Which makes the teacher turnaround at this center believable. Overall There were many occasions where my child was dropped off later in the day and I've seen teachers sitting at the children's table while the kids played on the other side of the room. I am extremely disappointed in this center and how they've handled situations with our family. The lack of receptiveness to our feedback in the past shows the lack of care for anything other than making money off packing these classrooms with kids. Do your research on these chain daycares before enrolling. I certainly will moving forward.

    Our family was very disappointed with our experience at CAP. My child attended for just 5 months…read moreand during that time we discovered many issues with the school. 1. My child had a medical emergency while at the school and it was unclear how it was actually handled. We received different accounts from the director, area manager, the staff member who accompanied my child to the hospital, and the EMT's who responded to the event. When I asked to see the footage from the time period of the medical emergency I was denied the request. 2. Classes are often combined in the morning or after 4pm, even during disease outbreaks in those respective rooms. Many times I would pick up my child and my child would be in the room where there is a known presence of Croup or Hand Foot Mouth playing with the children from that room. This, to me, demonstrated a lack of genuine care for the well being of the children. 4. My child's teacher recorded and posted a video on the app of another child pushing and kicking my child. My child was kicked 4 or more times and there was no intervention by the teacher. When I addressed this with the director I was simply told this was normal behavior for the age group and if the teacher had deemed to to be excessive she would have addressed it. 5.While regular handwashing is talked about quite a bit during the tour, it was not happening. Many times I picked up my child either right after playtime/before a snack or meal time or during a diaper change and the children were never made to wash their hands. I addressed this observation once with the director and noticed no improvements. 6. My child came home twice with scratches on her body that the staff could never explain. One scratch spanned across her back. 7. My child came home many times with diaper rash, despite us providing 40% zinc oxide diaper cream. On one occasion, I picked my child up and was told that all 3 of the kids left in the room had diaper rash. I don't think it is a coincidence that the last 3 kids left in the room that day all had diaper rash.

    My granddaughter has been attending Cadence Academy since May 2024. At first she was reluctant for…read moreme to leave and would cry. My daughter and I were updated throughout the morning through emails and phone calls reasuring us that she was doing fine. So much so, we are adding another day to her schedule. The entire atmosphere and staff are loving and nurturing. Thank you to all of you! Sincerely, Donna C. Cadence Academy in Paramus, NJ.

    Every morning, my 3 year old asks, "is it time for Ms. Laura's?" This warms my heart & makes me…read moreconfident in my daycare decision. My son (1.5 years old) runs to her when he sees her. This is my 3rd daycare and we've now been here over a year. The 2 prior daycares had their own varying degrees and points of horror, and so when searching for a new daycare, we looked long and hard. Laura immediately made me feel comfortable and is a warm and friendly person (a mom of 3 young kids herself). The daycare is clean and she is the most patient human being I have ever known. The other 2 teachers are also wonderful with my kiddos! I should also add she takes them to the park, so they always get outdoor time when weather permits, and facilitates field trips and enrichment activities throughout the year. This year she took them to the zoo, Bounce U, the Untermyer Gardens (during their garden unit), the pool, the fire house, and more. She has monthly puppet shows with an outside vendor, and parties throughout the year (for major holidays). She even had a special daycare holiday party and gift exchange where the kids performed little seasonal songs they'd been working on during circle time. As a teacher myself, schedule and routine were a big deal to me and Laura follows the Mother Goose Time curriculum. We've had units on space, the seasons, gardening, etc. She gives us a monthly newsletter that lists books we can buy to read at home with our kiddos to reinforce what they're doing during the day. She does activities that work on motor functions, including play dough and shaving cream. It's really amazing. I forgot to add this earlier, but for my daughter's birthday, we could only book her party at Bounce U on a weekday at 3pm, so Laura BROUGHT THE KIDS FROM THE DAYCARE to the party for me, so everyone could attend, and parents picked up from there instead of the daycare. The other teacher stayed back with the little ones who couldn't attend. She will come down to my car to get my kids if I am running late, I mean, it's really just above and beyond. I am actually very sad that my daughter's daycare years will be coming to an end next year and feel so bad for her that she has to transition to school and away from Laura. I am certain we found the best daycare in Yonkers. I would highly recommend her.

    My son has been going for a few months and loves going everyday! Laura is great and so…read moreunderstanding!
