New Jersey families. Our experienced teachers create

It may be that the benefits of investing in childcare and pre-school learning could be greater than investment in education at later ages, given that a significant part of cognitive and non-cognitive skills development occurs before children start school.
All teachers have a bachelor or master’s degree in Early Childhood Education. Each child receives an individualized plan and we conduct at least four parent/teacher conferences per year. Family input is included in all we do!

Both of my children go to this daycare and there is honestly nothing I can say negative about this place. The teachers are incredible and my kids love going to school.Posted on Google Hoda HassaneinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love Rhymes and Reasons. My two older kids went there for daycare/summer camp. My 3 year old currently is in daycare here. She lives coming to school and is learning so much. The teachers are great!Posted on Google AlisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Rhymes & Reasons. From their curriculum, to their nurturing nature with the kids, to their consistent reliability, they're terrific. It is truly a safe, caring space for children where they are constantly learning and exploring through play. R&R are also more than accommodating and understanding for inevitable schedule adjustments. They really work hard to make every child feel valued. Would highly recommend.Posted on Google Stephany ReyesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loveee and so happy with Rhymes and Reasons ! 💖 My oldest started when he was 2 years old and now he is 12. my youngest started around the same age and now he is 6 going into first grade and I take him back to Rhymes &Reasons for every summer break! Brings us so much joy, especially seeing the old staff that took care of my oldest see how grown he is.. feels like family. Never had any problems with them. During our potty training with the kids, I must say I couldn’t have done it without them. Huge help in every way! This place will forever be in my heart and big shoutout to Miss Marissa and Miss Susan. Thank you for being amazing !! Definitely recommend it here for a safe and peace of mind for us parents while in need of childcare.Posted on Google Linwei ParaskevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has been attending since he was a little over 2yo. It’s a great safe, loving, and caring place for the little ones in town. You know your child is loved and happy when he’s back telling you the day, names of school staff and friends he made. He’ll be moving out soon to preschool as he’s turning 4 and I would recommend this place to parentsPosted on Google Angelines YaportTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. By far THE BEST daycare experience. I have four boys. The one attending Rhymes & Reasons is my youngest. I’ve gone through MANY daycares and sitters in the past, with terrible attitudes and lack of professionalism and not even knowing how to deal with young children. Directors even, who should not be opining a day care center. When I tell you the teachers and directors at Rhymes and Reasons are great, it’s an understatement. I have NEVER had daycare teachers care for my son the way he’s cared for and taught here. The curriculum is very much adapted to his age and learning style. He actually asks to go to daycare on days he doesn’t go. I have NEVER had that happen with any of my kids. The teachers and admins are very professional, caring, patient, understanding and very friendly. I can go on and on…Posted on Google Alex DelgadoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wish there were a way for me to visit this daycare. I attended Rhymes and Reasons back in the mid to late 90’s. So many memories that I still remember to this day as a 30 year old. Building still looks the same as it did when I left. They treated me like family there. I still remember my teacher “Miss Lena and the owner/director at the time “Miss Marilyn”. I would love to visit and share photographs that I still have as a kid attending here. Glad to see the school still operating :)Posted on Google Lewis BalderaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The school has been great! They have taken great care of my son throughout his time there. He has friends and has grown a lot since we first took the him there. I would definitely refer anyone in the future!Posted on Google Matty RodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The childcare they provide is amazing. Place is clean. Staff is always friendly and greeting. The director and assistant director are great. Easily approachable to talk to. My child enjoys going there and wouldn’t want him going anywhere else. He has learned so much. Thank you Rhymes and Reasons.
