UPDATE THEYVE DELETED MY REVIEW SO IM POSTING AGAIN…read more My son has been in daycare since 2 years old, never with any issues besides when he first started of course. When we moved to NJ he went to school as well in swedesboro. When we moved to deptford and transferred him to tutor time. Within a month, Hr would cry every morning, begging and pleading not to go to school. " I don't like school" "please I don't wanna go" etc. My husband and I just put it off because we just thought he was a normal 3 year old that didn't like going to school. He then would act out when we got home, terrible attitude, crying, hitting, it was almost unbearable. We talked to someone at the center and they mentioned how he wouldn't nap. Of course I know my child and I figured that could be a factor but they immediately dismissed any other concern. Fast forward a couple of months of literally heartache before and after school, Dmy husband gets a TEXT from his assistant teacher, saying she's quitting and walking out and she cares so much about our that she's worried about his safety because our son was being mistreated and she thought we should know. My husband immediately went to the school and talked to her, apparently two teachers were caught being high while "teaching" have been caught hitting children, falls asleep while watching kids and that they would purposely send our son home with sh*t in his UNDERWEAR just to inconvenience My husband and I because we were one of the last ones to pick him up for the day. I noticed on the cameras that this one teacher was ALWAYs sitting on her phone or the tablet they had. When my husband confronted the director she blew him off and offered half off tuition. My heart literally broke because our son was trying to tell us the best he could but he didn't know how. He's been at the learning experience ever since and has since never gave any issues going to school like he did before.

If I could give this location a negative stars I would…read more My current daycare is closing and we started looking for other daycares. I found Tutor Time and they seemed nice enough. We spoke to two of the teachers to make sure that they would be a match and they were fairly quite. Nothing that sent off any red flags so we started today. I dropped of my little one and went through some of the things that we brought with us along with how to work the reusable diapers that we are using. I asked if we could go inside to review because it was a lot that I just went over, but she said that they still weren't letting parents in still. I trusted them and went on my way. I finally got access to their webcams and was horrified to find my little one crying in the middle of the floor while teachers were gathered around chatting. After 5 minutes, they took care of my little one. Changed them and brought them into another room. I called then to make sure that everything was ok, and the Associate Director, Katie, said that they were taking my little one's temperature because they felt warm. I said that's normal since they were crying for about 5 mins without being tended to. Katie shrugged it off and we got off the phone. About 15 minutes, I see that my little one is in the class room again. I see them in one of the teachers arms and that teacher put my little one in the crib and I see that they are immediately crying and not ok. Another teacher goes over after a couple of minutes, picks them up and just puts them in the middle of the room and leaves the room all together. Does not ask any of the other teachers who are standing around chatting with each other to take care of my little one. I also see two other infants in baby bjorn's without being supervised all while this is happening. If you're looking for your child's basic needs to be met, if you're looking for community or interactions with other children and activities for them to be put in this is not your location. Our other daycare engaged with the children, read to them, played with them and yes there was an element of independence. My little one is able to preoccupy themselves once their basic needs are met. For example, their diapers changed, their fed, they're not cold, etc. Normal 9 month old things. None of these were met here. The diaper was not put on correctly, it was put on backwards and the liner was not even put in there. They coded on their app that they fed my LO, but there's no evidence of this at all. When I grabbed my LO, I met with the teacher and Katie. The teacher apologized and tried to justify what I saw. IE: there was someone who wasn't feeling well and left, the other teachers were talking strategy on how to handle this, etc. 1. The first thing I asked when interviewing the daycare was what was their turnover. They said they didn't see much and they don't close down. 2. The priorities should be on the children and figure out everything else when there isn't a screaming child and two others in baby bjorn's unattended. Transitioning to a new facility is going to be difficult. I recognize that there would be an adjustment period and that's why I didn't immediately pull my child out when I saw them crying on the floor by themselves. This went beyond that. This was absolutely neglectful. I am glad that Katie went ahead and terminated one of the teachers who did not act, but there are still three others who were there in addition, Katie, herself that is not being held accountable. Forgive my grammar, I'm pissed.

My daughter has been enrolled in this school since infancy, she is now 4 1/2 years old. The school…read moretake impeccable care of every single child. In the infant room, each teacher is assigned to the same 4 infants daily. I was very impressed with this as each teacher learns their assigned infants, rather than the infants being passed around and cared for by different people every day. My daughter had horrible eczema as an infant and her teacher was EXTREMELY helpful in getting it under control by following the skin care regimen the pediatrician recommended. My daughter was always clean, happy and healthy. I never had to worry that my baby wasn't being cared for. The piece of mind alone was invaluable. My daughter is now getting ready to enter the school's pre-k program. She has learned so much throughout the years at Laurel tree and I am confident that she will be prepared, if not over prepared, for kindergarten next year. I am always impressed at the creative and hands-on ways the children are educated. I will forever be indebted to Laurel Tree Academy, their owners, teachers and other staff.

They write weekly emails with pictures and descriptions of children performing their Montessori "works" and are very responsive to questions or concerns.

There is also a small garden outside where the kids grow vegetables. My daughter has learned so much over the past three years. She never wants to leave at the end of the day.

It is a small, warm community with great communication between teachers and parents. The kindergarten experience is unique, small, and personalized. The kindergarteners have mini-units taught but a different teacher each month and Spanish once a week. They tie in so many field trips in their curriculum and really use the city as their playground. My younger son just started in a different classroom and we are really loving it for him as well, his teachers are wonderful, structured, and caring, really just what he needs.

We are so grateful for Kiddie Academy of Delran! As a first-time Mom I searched high and low for…read morethe best daycares in the area for a variety of reasons: distance, school standards, quality of teachers, teacher to child ratios, cleanliness, price, safety, peanut free facility, and overall vibe. From the beginning I had a good feeling about KA! We knew we were going to have to send our daughter to daycare from the young age of 3 months, so I was not willing to settle. I would be lying if I didn't say it was an adjustment period. As a mom you know what you like, and when you're giving your child over to someone new, it takes time to become comfortable with the style of care. Again, first time mom problems! (lol) Ms. Mary was so patient with all of my questions, concerns, and everything in between! I'll admit, I can be an annoying overprotective mom. There have been a few incidents that have occurred during my daughter's time at KA, but Ms. Mary and the rest of the directors were SO accommodating to our needs. I can't say enough great things about all of the teacher our daughter has had so far. Ms. Michelle in the puppies is a seasoned professional and handles our girl with care at the young age of 3 months. Our daughter (we will call her AHK) learned how to sit up, crawl, and eat while in Ms. Michelle's class. Ms. Michelle is so sweet and loving. We love getting to see her everyday in the hallway! AHK then moved onto the cubs with Ms. Latoya. I don't have enough space here to talk about our infinite appreciation for Ms. Latoya- she has a true love and passion for teaching and made our girl feel SO at home during a tough transition. Shout out to teaching AHK how to walk up and down the halls of daycare! Ms.Carol was a pivotal part of our daughter's development. AHK learned some of her first words, lots of sign language, and many nursery rhymes while under Ms.Carol's supervision. Ms.Carol is extremely caring and patient and truly helped AHK come out of her shell. Without Ms.Carol, AHK would not have had such a smooth transition to the Turtles classroom. Of all things, AHK loved Ms.Carol's morning hugs! AHK is a shy girl, but Ms. Dynaisha has welcomed her to the Turtles classroom with open arms. Ms. Dynaisha has already taught AHK so many things, like sitting in seat during circle time and how to identify her feelings. Additionally, AHK loves squirrel watching with Ms. Dynaisha on the playground and all the fun art projects she gets to make in class! In addition to AHK's amazing Lead Teachers, I would love to give a huge shout out to all of the assistants and floaters. They ALL know Astra and show equal as much love and patience. We are so fortunate to call KA of Delran "home" until AHK moves onto Elementary School. *cue the tears*

As a new mom, I was very hesitant to send him to daycare due to all the negative news regarding daycare centers; however, KAD has exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for transparency, timely communication and caring teachers for your little one, this is the place. My son is now 2.5 years old and is thriving! He has surpassed all his " age appropriate milestones" and is such a well mannered little boy. KAD's curriculum is top notch while giving free play to the children. My son is so happy and I could not imagine removing him from this center. My daughter will be joining the center soon and I trust that KAD will care for her just the same.

While dropping my granddaughter off 9:31am Friday, January 10th 2023 I witnessed a teacher (I…read morebelieve her name was Priscilla) grabbing and seating a little toddler. She is the tiniest toddler in the room. I proceeded to observe the situation as the teacher continued yelling and snatching items out of the kids hands. I thought about reacting but I knew they'd call the cops on me. So I went to the office, got Miralena and said, "You need to get your teacher. She's in there yanking the kids and snatching things." As we walked to the classroom, you could literally hear the teacher yelling and screaming at the kids. At that point, Miralena pulled the teacher to the back room and talked to her. I don't know what was said... At that point, my granddaughter started crying cause she didn't want to stay. Mind you this child has been going to this school for over a year and actually looked forward to going to school every day. (Especially when Miss Nyema was there) I left. Sat in the car for a second to gather my thoughts. Then went back inside and told Miralena "Today is her last day! And, I'm gonna need your director to contact me immediately." 11:34am Tuesday 2/14/23, Miralena called "So Ali is staying?" I replied, "Well I don't know. I'm still waiting for your director to call me. So how was that situation handled? Were her parents made aware of the incident involving their child? Cause I'm still trying to get in touch with them. " She said, "We let the teacher go. She won't be back." I said, " Well where's your director because she never called me...and since she didn't it's too late. What is corporates number?" She said, "I'm not in the office and have to stay in the classroom all day today." 4:54pm Tuesday 2/14/23, Rashawnah calls. She apologized for not getting back to me sooner. I asked, "When did Miralena tell you about the incident?" She said "Friday evening." I said, "Isn't protocol to alert superiors immediately after an incident involving the children?" She said "Yes!" So I said, "Right. Since Miralena didn't and now you're just calling me about an incident that took place early Friday morning ...other measures need to be taken. What's corporate number and I want that ethics line too." I proceeded to say, "See if I had snatched her ass up y'all would have called the cops on me. You would want me to do something too if it were you and yours. This didn't personally happen to me and mine but I witnessed it happen to another baby who could have very well been ours." I told her that she would be able to see it all on the cameras. She said they don't have cameras inside the facility. 11:36am Today, 2/17/23 Kelly Phelan calls me to ask is Ali last day on Tuesday? I said, "No. where did you get that from?" She said, "You the grandmother told someone here that her last day was on Tuesday." Then she proceeded to say, "AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, LICENSING WAS JUST HERE AND FOUND NO WRONGDOINGS." I said, "WELL HOW WAS THAT DETERMINED WHEN THEY DIDN'T CONTACT ME THE WITNESS WHO SAW IT HAPPEN?" Nowwwww she wants to play victim. Talking about me screaming...so I hung up. She called back to threaten me with the police if I come down there." I called her back to confirm what she had said and hung up. All of this because I reported a danger that I witnessed against a defenseless baby girl. Now Kelly wants to gaslight and play victim. Her guilty conscience came out in her "argument" with me. Extremely unprofessional.

My child started at GFELA this year. I was so nervous, especially since my son had been at his…read moreprevious daycare for three years and was familiar with many faces. However, I have nothing but great things to say about GFELA! 1. Parking - Drop-off and pick-up are usually a hassle at most daycares, but I can always find a free, legal parking spot here. This was an unexpected perk! 2. Teacher Retention - At our previous daycare, there was so much turnover that we could barely remember the teachers' names toward the end. That is NOT the case at GFELA. 3. Security - There is a security guard on the first floor of the building. On the fourth floor, the doors remain locked, and you must call the center to be buzzed in. 4. Director Involvement - Before my son started, the director, Mrs. Unis, personally called me to ensure he would be properly accommodated. She continues to keep me updated on his progress and is very involved in his development. She attends his ELWYN meetings and ensures his teachers provide input to help him get all the therapies he needs. At our previous daycare, I invited the director and teachers to video meetings, but they never attended. Because of that, I assumed directors simply didn't participate. However, when I forwarded the ELWYN meeting invite to Mrs. Unis, I was pleasantly surprised--she and the teachers made themselves available for the meeting! I'm so happy I made the switch!
