Part of the benefits of these lessons are that there aren't any other lessons going on at the same time. There are no distractions, just absolute focus from the instructor who also finds time to give the parent a brief check in at the end of the lesson and lots of positive affirmations for the student. I only wish we had tried their lessons sooner! The office staff is also very professional to speak with and keep you up to speed with any changes. The ability to choose the location of the lessons is also helpful as it keeps me out of the higher traffic areas of route 1. I would recommend Making Waves to anyone.

I do not recommend Lightbridge Academy based on my experience with their Plainsboro location. My…read morechild, who has developmental delays and feeding-related medical needs, was enrolled here. Despite multiple conversations, written documentation, and coordination with her therapists--including Early Intervention providers visiting the school--the staff consistently failed to meet her basic safety needs. On her final day, I discovered she had been given water by a teacher who was unaware of her feeding plan. My child has documented swallowing difficulties and is not permitted to drink water at daycare. I received two completely different explanations from staff: one teacher (Ms. Subarna) claimed in writing that she had not been given water at all, while another (Ms. Corrine) told me she had. After I raised the concern, the Brightwheel log was altered to remove the mention of water. This wasn't just a mistake--it was a serious communication breakdown with conflicting accounts and document tampering. Before I even arrived to pick her up, I watched via the classroom camera as my child picked up another child's water bottle, put it in her mouth, then handed it back. No adult was present at the table. She could have choked or aspirated. No one informed me of this--I saw it myself. The administrators later admitted it happened and described it as "unacceptable" and promised to retrain staff. But that's not good enough when you're talking about a child's medical safety. This was not an isolated issue. On another occasion, I watched via the cameras as my child was left unsupervised at a table with another child who had a cracker. She took the cracker and put it in her mouth. At the time, she did not eat solids and this posed a clear choking hazard. No one notified me--it was something I discovered on my own. Incidents like this were repeated and avoidable, and reflect a serious failure of basic supervision protocols. Throughout our time there, we experienced: * Staff regularly failing to follow her feeding therapy plan * Teachers giving her bottles after purée against clear written instructions * Another child sleeping on her crib sheet, and her sleeping on another child's bedding * Ongoing lack of support despite her being diagnosed with global developmental delays * Frequent turnover of teachers, many of whom were unfamiliar with her accommodations * Repeated miscommunications, lack of consistency, and disregard for therapist recommendations Even more troubling, the head teacher of the infant classroom repeatedly told me my child was meeting her milestones--despite our child receiving Early Intervention services and having a formal diagnosis of global developmental delay. After I shared the findings of her speech-language pathologist, this teacher admitted they have "more information and training for toddlers not meeting milestones," and that they "don't have much training on infants with delays." That is unacceptable. That is their job. They are entrusted with the care and developmental monitoring of infants, and this admission reveals a lack of basic preparedness and staff training that puts children at risk. When I brought these concerns to the director, Ms. Krupa, I was told there are "tons of other great schools in Plainsboro." Rather than taking immediate responsibility, I was subtly encouraged to find a better fit. That's exactly what I did. This will be documented with the state. My child should not have had to be the reason they finally decided to 'do better.' If your child has special needs, medical concerns, or requires any accommodations--I urge you to look elsewhere. I hope no other child gets hurt before real changes are made.

I love that they feel as though it is their second home. The staff is incredibly friendly and sweet. One thing I absolutely love is the live cameras. I am able to check in time to time to see how they are doing as well as check into the moment path app to see the progress throughout the day. Its amazing to see how they bring smiles to all the kids as soon as they enter the daycare. Can't forget the time when my baby was crying and the infant teacher just held her for 1 second and she stopped crying. Just knowing that there are caring arms at this center!!

A few minutes in, I glance up and see my son smiling and happily participating! We are now about a month into lessons and he is excited to go to class every week. I can also see that my son is getting stronger and more confident in the water. The facilities are clean, and the space is spacious enough that you're not on top of other families trying to get in and out. The app is also very easy to use as we have already rescheduled a couple of times due to weather and busy schedules. I highly recommend this location!

We had a truly disappointing and upsetting experience at the Big Blue Swim School. I brought my…read moreyoung son, who has almost no swimming experience, for lessons and expected supportive, professional guidance. Unfortunately, we were met with untrained and unprofessional staff. My son was visibly scared and started panicking and crying during the lesson, yet the instructor showed no willingness to comfort or support him, even after I politely asked her to hold and reassure him. To make matters worse, a manager with a laptop interrupted and told me I wasn't allowed to speak to my own child or the instructor, even as he was sobbing in distress. Her response was a cold and robotic "I understaaaand," without any genuine concern or action. We left immediately. At the front desk, the manager was similarly dismissive and unhelpful. When I explained my son was traumatized by the experience and I wanted to cancel future lessons, I was told I needed to submit a cancellation request 30 days in advance -- regardless of what just happened. Overall, the staff -- most of whom appear very young -- were rude, indifferent, and clearly not trained to work with children, especially those with little experience or anxiety around water. This was not only a waste of money, but it also caused emotional harm to my son. I strongly do NOT recommend!!!.

Since then, he has thrived thanks to the warm, nurturing care provided by everyone at The Learning Experience - Hopewell. I have cherished every drop-off and pick-up, where smiles and a palpable sense of community greet me. We decided to start the au pair process before fully realizing the impact and quality of care here, and I only wish we had come here first. While we are committed to our current path, we hope that our son will return soon, where he can reunite with the teachers and friends who have supported his growth and development and brought us so much joy.

Run as far away from this school as you can! They are deceitful, incompetent, and worse, they put…read moreyour children at risk. The problems at this school began when the previous head of school, Mr. James, left. Since Mr. James left we have experienced the following: 1. The School LOST our child - On one occasion, our child left her classroom and the school did not know where she was. To make it worse, they never informed us about the incident and had to learn about it from another parent whose child left the classroom with my child. I was told by other parents that this was not a singular event. After the incident, the school (after refusing my request to fire the teacher) agreed to never assign that teacher to supervise my child ever again. This agreement lasted for several months until the school started assigning that teacher to watch my child again. Additionally, when I confronted the head of school about the event, he informed me that he did not tell me about the event because I was pregnant and he did not want to "upset" me. 2. TIME OUTS - My child kept complaining that a particular teacher would separate her from other kids and put her in time outs. The time outs would occur on a chair that was away from other kids. 3. TELLING/MAKING MY DAUGHTER FEEL THAT SHE IS A BAD GIRL - My child told me that a particular teacher tells her that she is a "bad girl". 4. TICKS - The playground is full of ticks. After finding two giant ticks on my child, I informed the school of the problem. They did not respond to my email or treat the playground for ticks. Since then, I have learned that other children have also come home with lots of ticks. 5. DEPOSIT - When I informed the school that I was leaving, the school told me that they would be returning my entire deposit. I believe they did this due to my experience and to deter me from speaking out against them. Well...low and behold, I never received the deposit and when I confronted the school several months after I left, I was told that they never said that they would be returning my money despite me having the emails to prove it. The school's (almost) saving grace are Ms. Puja, Ms. Savi, and Ms. Varshini, who are caring teachers. Unfortunately, the administration's incompetence and carelessness is too much to overcome. If you are interested in a Montessori education, I have heard good things about the Guidepost Lawrenceville location.

It turns out my worries were completely unfounded, as the entire staff at Camp College immediately put my mind at ease.

Anthony, Christine, and Stacie were wonderful about making accommodations so that my son could participate alongside his neurotypical peers, and he even had a special "buddy counselor" who he absolutely loved! Both Science and Arts camps were exciting and engaging, with new projects and experiments being returned home daily. Camp College is truly a family, where each child is respected, included, and cherished. I cannot recommend this organization enough!

I received three photos and zero notes in the span of two months. I'm a teacher who has worked in daycares. I know it's busy and understaffed. Their communication is nonexistent unless they want to remind you to bring money in for some event. I was never told they were closed for two weeks at the end of December until the day before my child started. I understand infants are tough, but I received one art project in two months.
