The owners were very rude, but the teacher who gave us a tour was nice. Long story short, this was 3 years ago and every time we drive by this school, my daughter comments on how much she felt lonely when she was left alone crying inside, while the adults told each other to let her cry, how she was pushed to eat something she didn't want to and.how rude and irresponsible the staff was. If you don't mind your kids to be treated this way, go ahead, enroll them here. You were warned!

Our family has had an incredible experience here. Miss Dana and Miss Crystal began our child's first school experience in Pre-K 3 and all he experienced and learned was beyond our wildest expectations. This year in Pre-K 4 with Miss Lindsay and Miss Christie instilled an incredible amount of knowledge into our child and assisted him to flourish into a confident, bright little boy! He learned to write his first and last name, his colors, shapes, numbers, letters, letter sounds and so much more! He can even sound out words! This year he also learned French and can recite colors, numbers and salutations with thanks to Miss Hinda and sign language with thanks to Miss Dana. Miss Debbie and Miss Danielle run an exceptional school and we are so honored to have been apart of it! Other than academics and learn through play, the children also got to experience week of the child which included bounce houses, pony rides and a carnival! The graduation was also anything beyond we could have ever imagined. From the performances, songs, decorations and the after ceremony celebrations was incredible. There are no words to express how thankful we are for Nursery Rhymes and how difficult this "see you later" is for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for loving our child and being the best "second moms" we could have ever wished for!

This was a great value boost and the facilities were new and clean. We are extremely happy with our choice. The staff is friendly and responsive and our son loves his teachers. He has never had an issue being dropped off for the day (full day). Miss Karol has always been special to Cooper but he also is thriving with her new teacher, Miss Wendy since he moved up to the Toddler class.

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.

As soon as we met Ms. Effie and toured the school, we knew it was the perfect fit for our toddler. The teachers at MLC are truly special - they genuinely care about each and every child. In one year, our toddler went from hesitant and shy to incredibly confident, independent and social. Most importantly, he developed a true bond with his teachers. Shout out to Ms. T, Ms. Angela and Ms. Ellen, who greeted us with smiles and positive energy at drop-off and pick-up! We also appreciated MLC's flexibility as we figured out the right schedule and cadence for our little guy. They worked with us every step of the way, making us feel like family! We are so thankful for the love, patience and support they've shown our little boy, and us! We look forward to watching our children grow here! We couldn't recommend MLC more highly!

The teachers are exceptional -- warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about the Montessori method. What stands out most is how communicative the staff is. We always feel informed and in the loop, whether it's a quick update at pickup or a note about what our son worked on that day. The consistency in the classroom has been remarkable -- our son has genuinely bonded with his teachers and you can see it in how confidently he walks in every morning. He's learning so much, growing in independence, and most importantly he loves being there. The community here -- both the staff and the other families -- is something we didn't expect but are so grateful for. This school is a hidden gem in Ridgewood and we plan to send all of our children here.

The environment is always super clean and you can tell they take great pride in making sure everything is tidied and sanitized at the end of each day. That attention to detail really stands out. Most importantly, my daughter has soared academically over this past year. We have seen so much growth in her confidence, learning and overall development.

Yelp, please add a 10 stars as soon as possible because that is how I feel about this daycare. ;)…read more Where do I start here with the amazing things about Kinder Kastle? I will start with the owners, I think. NEVER have I seen owners be so involved within the facility setting as I see here. I am not talking about seeing their faces once in a blue, they are there every day!! They know the parents and children by name, they know what is going on at all times within the facility and that is a big deal for me. They are involved with the children's mile stones as well which is so heart warming to me. They also assist in the classrooms when assistance is needed. They do not hesitate to jump in to assist their staff!!! Another big deal for me. Now lets talk about the staff. From the Director, Receptionist, to the classroom staff I love them all!!! They are all welcoming and knowledgeable. Even the classrooms my son is not apart of greet my son by his first name and are pleasant to interact with. In my son's class-Miss Crystal, Miss Maria, Miss Ola, Miss Clementina thank you for caring for my son as if he was your own, it really makes me feel at peace when I am at work to know he has awesome teachers as yourself taking care of him. it makes me so happy when I see my son interact in a positive, happy way with all of you. I consider you all as extended family at Kinder Kastle as you have been a major part of all my son's milestones and growth. This daycare also keeps track of the milestones and helps to identify when your child may be eligible to transition to the next class. I love that the infants are not mixed in classrooms with active walking babies. There are babies who are "trying" to take 1 step or 2 but definitely not active walkers around little immobile people. Big plus for us moms who are concerned of the different baby levels mixed into a classroom together. All areas are kept very clean especially the baby changing station. It does not smell like a toilet when you walk into the baby classrooms, another plus for me. I had my son in another daycare which smelled like a old nursing home when you walked in-poop and urine smells if you need a visual-sorry! Another favorite of mine who may go unnoticed, under the radar is Miss Betty. Thank you for feeding our children, I can't imagine the task of getting that many little meals together. Jorge loves the Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes!! Trust me I have this much positive to say due to an experience at Tutor Time when my son was thankfully only there for a month until Kinder Kastle opened, so I know the difference of a daycare that will make us moms feel satisfied and at peace. I will leave it at that since this review is supposed to be something for Kinder Kastle and not about another daycare. I also want to say that in this daycare, one of things I appreciate is their strict illness policy. If your child is ill and you are cleared to bring your child back, your note from the physician must specify "not contagious". Makes sense right? I wouldn't want a child coming back in from having something contagious and the parent brought them back in just because, especially when you are paying for services. It would be courteous to the other parents, children and staff to simply ask your physician to specify "not contagious". If you have a physician who isn't able to simply add a comment as simple as that for proper documentation purposes, then maybe you need another physican-just saying! :) Again, thank you all for all you do for my family and I. I couldn't be more pleased to have my child there. The Gonzalez family.

My daughter attended this daycare for 4 days (Clifton location). This daycare is very unorganized,…read morethe caregivers are not professional and don't seem to be experienced, some don't seem to love kids or just persons that you can trust with your kids specially with infants. They make you fill out so many forms about your babies schedule and instructions to just do whatever they want, feed them when they want as well as changing their diapers. They would put products on my baby's skin without my authorization. If you call during the day to see how your child is doing, they would get annoyed and give you attitude. All they want is money, don't let them trick you with the security systems and nice daycare, they do not care about the kids. All of the staff look unhappy and not wanting to do their jobs. I DO NOT recommend this daycare to NO one. Don't trust them specially with vulnerable infants. My experience was awful, I gave them time to put their shit together and spoke to everyone, even the director, to avoid writing this review and having to switch daycare. I think I trusted this facility way too much and had very high expectations, this is why now I'm so disappointed. My baby's first day when I picked up my 3mon old baby her pants were all wet of pee, my daughter was left alone in a corner awake in a swing far away from the other kids and unattended by the teachers, when I grabbed her she was freezing, the air conditioner was too low so when I carried her she was shaking, she was only given 2 bottles of milk during the full 8 hours that she was there (my baby eats a lot) I told them her eat schedule and wrote everything down on a form they provided, she usually eats every 2 hours and even before. When I saw her pants wet and felt how cold she was I asked the teacher (Jayda/Jayra whatever her name is) her answer was "well I just changed her diaper!" (with a nasty attitude) I replied by showing her my baby's pants so she can notice the wetness on it (she never made eye contact) she proceed with grabbing a tablet and slamming it in front of me to show the times she was supposedly changed but that doesn't really means she was changed on time cuz she can document what ever she wants on there and not necessarily be done. I was so irritated that I did not react any other way then just grab my baby and leave the center with my eyes full of tears. After I got home I called and spoke to the manager (Ashley I believe is her name) the director (Kimberly) was also aware, supposedly everything was gonna change but I was already concerned about my daughters safety and treatment. The next day that teacher (Jayda/Jayra) wasn't in my baby's classroom but the teachers there were still not following my baby's schedule, they were not giving the baby her bottles on time, they would always put the excuse that baby was sleeping. I also took my baby some sleepers so she can stay warm in her classroom since it was so cold in there but they would take it off and lose her socks.The third day when I went to drop her off, I went in the classroom and I waited almost 10 min for the teacher to go inside the classroom to take my baby so I can rush to work but she was too busy gossiping with another teacher in another classroom. Every time I use to go drop her off or picked her up, there was a different teacher which didn't know anything about the instructions I had gave to the previous teacher, their communication skills were horrible. This is not a place to trust, it's full of unprofessional and poorly trained staff that are only there for a paycheck and not necessarily because they like kids.
