You can't pick a better place for your child. As a new mom I was so worried about leaving my son…read morewith anyone, but I couldn't have picked a better place than Lightbridge in Millburn. The teachers and the administration are so dedicated and so wonderful. It's why my daughter is also enrolled. The office staff made up of Ms. Nazo and Ms. Elizabeth is the best. Director Elizabeth Freeman is AMAZING- first one in, last one out. She's hands on, warm, and always approachable. The same can be said about Ms. Nazo. Her passion and dedication are evident in her daily interactions with the kids and staff. Shout out to all the teachers, honestly too many to name. They are all fantastic and so great with the kids, whether they are in the same class or not. Ms. Roy and Ms. Kim, again too many to name, are among those that have made a huge difference in our son's development. If you're on the fence don't be!

My husband and I were totally surprised when he started counting numbers in Japanese! (After seeing our surprising faces he went on to "show off" his Spanish) It's really cool to see him picking up new languages like that. Thanks for making learning so much fun for the little ones!

This preschool is a absolute gem; we feel so lucky to have found it! My son is currently in the…read more4's class (his 2nd year here) and his older sister attended as well 3 years ago. The school (which has been open in Millburn for over ONE HUNDRED years) is still set in the original Victorian house on Taylor Street. There are only 2 classes--3's and 4's--so it is super small and intimate, and because of this, a very close-knit and friendly parent community. They have an amazing playground which backs up to the Millburn community garden. The school owns 3 large plots in the garden and they include it in the curriculum. So the kids get to plant seeds (which they also use for counting & math), watch & learn about the different stages of growth throughout the seasons (science/STEM), and best of all, harvest & eat the fruits & veggies they grow! The school is very tied in with the town, including field trips to the local fire station, the local farmers market (goes with the garden curriculum), and Paper Mill Playhouse. The head teachers and assistant teachers have all been there for 15-25 years I believe, which speaks volumes about the school. They are nurturing, kind, fun, and truly great at what they do. They also make good company at the school happy hours :) The other major selling point of the school for us was the flexible hours. Kids can attend half day, half day + lunch, or full day, anywhere from once a week to 5 days- you customize the schedule. I have never seen another school offer this. This year for the first time they also offered aftercare as yet another option. And of course they have summer camp too. Between my 2 kids we have attended 4 different schools/daycares in the area, including a similar Montessori school down the street, but Neighborhood House is our absolute favorite, hands down.

I can't say enough good things about Neighborhood House Nursery School! From my son's very first…read moreday of preschool, we knew it was a good fit. The nurturing environment, caring staff, and connection to the community (including field trips and a plot in the community garden) create a preschool experience that is so enriching for students. The schedule flexibility is fantastic, and speaks to the personal nature of the school. Each family has a personal relationship with the director and teaching staff, all of whom couldn't be more welcoming. My sons have thrived at NHNS and we will be so sad to see them graduate!

As the last day of camp finishes today, I just wanted to alert this Yelp community to the amazing…read moreexperience Camp Riverbend (in Warren) has provided for our daughter this Summer. Obviously there was some hesitation with allowing our daughter to attend any camp this year, but the Breene family that runs the camp was amazing not only from a logistical point of view but also in providing a safe "normal" environment for kids to enjoy. We have joked (but not really joking) that other entities should take notes on not only how to do proper communication but then effectively implementing and providing an environment in which all participants could feel safe. If the Breene family can provide this type of atmosphere under the circumstances they faced this Summer, imagine the experience they can provide when, hopefully, things are a bit more normal next Summer! Please consider Camp Riverbend for your child's next Summer camp experience.
