This daycare center is the worst I've ever encountered in my 42 years as a mother of three. It's…read morecompletely unprofessional, lacking in quality and sympathy. If you have a child who doesn't move or speak, maybe this place is fine, but for my active son, paying over $1800 a month feels like throwing money away for a daycare that seems clueless about how to manage a child. After two consecutive days on 5/27--telling me I had half an hour to pick him up because he was climbing on furniture, which is typical kid behavior. I had to pull him out. My 18-month-old son faced discrimination from both the director and the regional director because of his special needs--he has a speech delay and is already receiving early intervention. When I took my first tour on 1/23, I explained all of my son's needs in great detail, and Victoria assured me that there would be no problem, that it was normal for his age. On the second tour on 3/11 with Rosie, I reiterated my son's needs, and once again, they said it was normal. Even uploaded and provided my son early intervention evaluation But when he started on 4/1, I received constant complaints. I was called on 4/3, 4/7, and 4/14 about minor incidents like biting another child, without anyone witnessing what actually happened. On 4/16, they reported he was running around and tried to bite a teacher's finger, and on 4/23, he hurt himself by slipping. Then on 5/5, he bit another child again without anyone clarifying the situation. That same day, they told me he put his hand in the toilet. This center has cornered me into providing documentation from doctors who have no clue what they're being asked for, since it's inappropriate for his age. They don't work with parents to help teach the kids; it's incredibly frustrating. Also when stuff happens to my son no report was given nor anyone knew what happened. Requested report from manager and still nothing.

Wow! I absolutely love working at TLE of North Haledon! Having over 15 years experience in the…read morechild care industry, I know just how crucial it is to have the right people in place to create a wonderful environment for children, their parents and staff. This particular location is independently owned and operated by Alicia Antoine who is extremely experienced, having run another TLE location for 8 years and being a mom of 3. She understands the needs of working parents since she is very involved and hands on herself, opening the center daily. She also used to be a teacher and is extremely supportive to her teaching team because she shares the same passion for providing quality care and education to children in the community. I truly couldn't have picked a better place to settle in my career. The facility itself is absolutely beautiful (you have to see it to believe it) and TLE's curriculum is hands down the most comprehensive educational program I've had the ability to work with. The curriculum and research development team ensures that each child is able to grow and develop independently while becoming caring members of society. It is because of this team that teachers are afforded the ability to focus their energy on being loving and nurturing caregivers while they execute the TLE curriculum created by corporate. At TLE of North Haledon, you honestly get the best of all worlds- a brand new school with beautiful amenities, an experienced and passionate owner, a comprehensive curriculum, and the most loving, nurturing staff. You'd be hard-pressed to find all of these unique qualities anywhere else, and I am grateful to be part of such an incredible school.

Hugs and Bugs Club is as good as it gets. My 4-year old son has been to every camp / program in…read moreHoboken and this is his favorite and his parents. The reasons are quite simple: (I) Ms. Olivia - the owner/operator - pours her life into the program; creates thoughtful / engaging curriculum; and provides a great space for the kids; (ii) My son always learns new things and creates interesting art tied to these - for instance, they had a superhero day and visited the fire station and police station and met w/ the firemen and police officers. The art / books for the week corresponded to this; (iii) the classes are small and personal. My son asked that he have his fourth birthday party at Hugs and Bugs. Of course we obliged and it was fantastic. The kids played in the play space; were read books; and completed a truck-oriented art project (my son loves trucks!). The party was a huge success and Ms. Olivia even coordinated each kid receiving a differentiated kids book and hugs and bugs t-shirt as a gift. The books were amazing and none of the kids had them so both kids and parents were pleased! I couldn't recommend Hugs and Bugs Club enough!

I am adding my younger son to attend at the end of the summer. This summer camp is absolutely the best!!!!

I like how it's on a residential street in a quiet neighborhood. The kiss and drop in the front of the building is really helpful for rushed mornings. The summer school was fantastic. They had activities EVERY DAY. Every night my son would look at the calendar and we would talk about the next day's event. He made a stuffed unicorn, slime, went to a circus show, science show, water play days, bounce houses...too much to list! It's very, very clean and my son never got sick once! Besides safety, my other most important things were low student to staff ratio and preparing my son to read on their own, both of which they have covered. They have open enrollment all year and offer daily tours which was helpful as I was able to pop in on a lunch break. They also had a generous sibling discount which several of the families used! Best private prek in Bergen County!

I have nothing but good things to say about this place and highly recommend it.

We toured Little Daydreamers 2 (LDD2) on the day before our son was born. We were so impressed by…read morethe warmth and professionalism shown by Brenda, Kexia and their team that we put down our deposit right away. In fact, we often say that choosing LDD2 was our first big decision as parents -- and we could not have been happier with how the experience has turned out. LDD2 provided a safe, welcoming, healthy and nurturing environment for our son and we fully recommend this daycare to any parent in the area. Care: Since our son's very first day at LDD2 when he was 5 months old, Brenda, Kexia and the team have felt like an extension of our own family. In particular, we would like to thank Kexia, Site Director and Ydalia for their help and support during our time at LDD2. They are truly gifted caregivers and we feel blessed that they were among the first and most frequent caregivers for our child in his first two years. Communication: The team at LDD2 provides very clear and frequent communications throughout the day through an app and there's a live camera feed. We always felt up-to-date throughout the day and the staff always gave us a review of the day when we picked up our son. This communication really helped us as new parents -- we always knew if he had a good nap, had eaten well, when his diaper was changed and all the other little details new parents want to hear about. Organization/Professionalism: As the team director, Brenda was an excellent partner to us as parents. Billing was simple and efficient, and updates about staffing, COVID protocols and other topics were always communicated to us clearly and with plenty of notice. Brenda genuinely strives to run the best daycare center in the area. Our son was at LDD2 through all the various waves of COVID (and subsequent waves of RSV and other viruses as the world reopened!) and Brenda and Kexia's commitment to run a healthy daycare was fantastic and far exceeded what we have heard is the norm at other daycares. All to say, we are very grateful to the LDD2 team and recommend them wholeheartedly.

I went to register my child and no one was there at the front desk to greet me. As I patiently waited I was able to observe class room 1 (the infant room) to the left of the elevator. and all children were in cribs crying, while unattended with the lights on. When some one finally came to greet me, it was about 10 to 15 minutes into my observation. The director told me the children were napping. I told her about my observation and that the lights were on. It was approximately 11:35 am. I asked to see infant schedule to confirm naptime, and I was denied. She told me if I register my child I will see it. She was very rude and suggested I dont register my child if I had any complaints. I wasnt at all rude neither did I complain. I was only concerned and had a few questions. I realize everyone is entitled to their own opinion and or views so I chose not to go back and forth with her or or enroll my child. I just pray this isnt some one elses business they have just sabotaged. Atleast no one was being abused. Hence the purpose for the 2 star and not 1.
