Toxic work environment.They hire and fire tons of stuff. Owner is greedy and pretends to be caring…read moreabout kids, in reality it's the opposite. They give kids toys to play with for the photo op, send pictures of happy kids to parents, then immediately they take away toys, kids start crying, doesn't matter, they give the same toy to the next kid for photo op. Parents think their kids are happy, in reality they are crying after toys taken away from them.

Good afternoon! As a parent involved in this school system for months before departing, The…read morequality,service and values of this day care are very questionable. I am extremely disappointed with the experience at Kiddie Academy (West Caldwell) The facility might look decent at first glance, but don't be fooled. The OWNERS and head of the facility clearly lack the morals and values essential for a nurturing and safe environment for children.

After our daycare shut down, I scoured and interviewed local daycares. A few things I really loved…read moreabout 123 was the staff. They genuinely know and love the kids. I also loved how they have bilingual teaching opportunities. Kids absorb languages best when they're young and with a increasingly global society, it's great to offer kids that exposure. I also liked that it wasn't overly crowded. I actually drive to two schools for my kids so that my son is in an environment that's not packed with children during the pandemic. They also have an indoor play space and have some time where the younger toddlers and older toddlers do things together. I loved that philosophy from Acton Academy as I know my son loves modeling my older daughter. It's also fairly priced. Great place, especially for babies and younger kids. Plus- they helped potty train my son!! They aren't fancy and over the top - simply teach and treat my child like their own. I feel like my son is less materialistic than my daughter as a result.

Their Pre-K program is top notch with so much creativity in teaching. Their newly formed Kindergarten class is very small (less than 10 kids) and is filled with hands-on experiements and exploration. I would hghly recommend this school to any picky mom looking for great education and a decent price.

When we moved to Montclair last August we were nervous about finding childcare. We did some…read moreresearch and discovered Elite Daycare. Ms. Jane is amazing. She's very responsive, honest, and instills confidence that our kid is being taken care of by someone who clearly knows how important even the little details are to parents and young kids. Our son transitioned up while there, so he was in two different rooms. First, Ms Betsy and Ms Sandra took care of him with all the other youngest kids. Next he went down the hall to Ms. Sue and Ms Sarah. Each caregiver was great. After the initial adjustment periods our son would run happily into "class" every morning. And when my wife had surgery and couldn't lift, Ms Jane would come out personally to carry our little guy in and out of the building (on site parking was great, by the way). Highly recommend!!!

Love Children's Corner! My daughter has been attending this preschool for almost a year, and I have…read moreabsolutely nothing but positive things to say about her experience there. It's a small school, so it is easier to get to know everyone on a personal level. The teachers are very caring, and it seems as though they put their heart and souls into their roles. The director takes her time in communicating with parents and answering any questions or concerns. It is no wonder it has been voted best in Essex in past years! I can't imagine a better, safer environment to bring my child :)

The turnover is not high, every staff member knows our children by name and greet them warmly everyday. If a child is having a tough day, everyone jumps in to try and help. No daily reports over things that children do as apart of growing pains/being a kid. So happy we moved to this location and truly wish we found it sooner.
