Testimonials

We’ve had an amazing experience at this daycare. The nursery teacher, Ms. Sue is truly outstanding! She is nurturing, caring, and incredibly attentive. Our son absolutely loves her, and it’s clear she makes a positive impact on him every day! When he transitioned to the toddler room, the process was seamless, and any minor concerns we had were addressed immediately. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and attention he receives here! We’re also incredibly grateful for the daycare director Ms. Lori, who is just as amazing. Their dedication and responsiveness truly set this daycare apart.

We absolutely love this daycare. From the moment you walk in, it feels warm, welcoming, and truly home‑like — nothing sterile, cold, or corporate about it. Every teacher knows every child by name, regardless of age or class, which creates a deeply comforting, close‑knit environment.We toured about seven different daycares when our daughter was a newborn, and this one immediately stood out as the most genuine, cozy, and nurturing. We started when she was five months old and instantly felt welcomed and confident that she was receiving exceptional care - esp Ms Sue, Babusya, Ms Lucy, Ms. Lori, etc!!!The teachers are incredibly attentive and truly invested in the kids.Their communication with parents is excellent — we always feel informed, supported, and part of our daughter’s day-to-day experience. On top of all of that, the price is by far the most reasonable we found, especially considering the level of care and personal attention the children receive.Our daughter is thriving here, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful community they’ve built.Highly recommend!

Love this daycare. It’s honestly one of the best ones I’ve experience in NJ. Everyone is friendly. My son loves his teachers. Every morning he’s so happy to go. The center is very clean and full of educational toys.Lori is very understanding and kind. She’s Thea school director.Def, regiment this place for daycare and summer camp.

We have visited many daycare before and Learning tree academy has the best vibe. Kids here are happy and very friendly. I can tell the staff enjoy working with kids. I send my baby here and she sometimes gets excited going in. I would recommend Learning Tree if you need somewhere to help with your kids.

Time flies so fast. My daughter just graduated after spending almost 4 wonderful years at LTA, starting when she was only 1.5 years old. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to Ms. Lori (the director), Ms. Mary, Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Victoria, and Ms. Kayla for their dedication and care. LTA helped so much with my daughter’s development, from potty training to building basic knowledge and social skills. It really saved us, as busy working parents, so much time and energy, and my daughter loved her daycare and came home happy and upbeat every day. It has been amazing watching her grow in such a supportive and loving environment. We’re truly grateful for everything LTA has done for our family.

We are so fortunate to be part of the LTA family. Our son started in the infant room with Ms.Sue, who is still his biggest cheerleader. He got to grow in Janice and Mimi's classes, and has blossomed with Ms.Lucy. He is challenged, supported, and loved every day, and we couldn't ask for more.

My grandson Cashmere has been going here since he was a few months old . The teachers and staff are incredible. Miss Lori is top notch. Cashmere will be turning 2 tomorrow and they love him like family. Thanks for being incredible. 😍

Words cannot express how much I love this place! The staff is amazing, down to the director of the school Ms. Lori.. my son has been here for almost 2 years and they treat him as if he’s their child! Ms. Sue & Ms. Lucy have my heart!! Thank you for being such amazing teachers 🙂

I love this place my daughter love their teachers and their friends, they are so professional I recommend 100% this daycare ❤️

My son is almost 4 and he really loves his school. The staff is very friendly and super easy to communicate with. My son is extremely attached and he runs into the school when I drop him off. He has thrived under their care and I really appreciate all they have done.

My family and I absolutely love this place! Everyone here is so professional, loving, caring, excited to see the families of their students, and take great pride and pleasure in being and getting to know the little ones.I have never had any issues, the facility is well organized and clean. Safety is their number one priority, and my daughter absolutely loves everyone there.I am so thankful for them and all they do!

Two words - Immensely Incredible !I had put in my baby, 11 months in this school and I was worried about how she would handle herself. But the incredible teachers made it so easy for me. All that I had to do was listen and follow the instructions from the fellow teachers. Everyone there is awesome - from Miss Lori to miss Janice to miss Mary to miss Lucy and everyone else !You guys are awesome, please keep doing the awesome job and thank you so much for your help, we will be grateful for your help during this difficult phase of kids growing up!

The fact that my daughter is here for long hours and that she's been taken care of by really good professionals that love what they do, is more than enough to recommend this place to anyone that's looking for a safe place for their children. I feel at peace knowing that my daughter is safe and loved here.

If taking your child to a daycare is not stressful enough.I just want to say from the moment I had my meet and greet with the director, I was greeted with a kindness and a genuine care that would be focused on my child. I was able to meet the staff with my child prior to full enrollment. The staff for the toddler room really focused on safety and taking precautious measures for the little ones with allergies.The staff maintains an open line of communication sending daily updates, activity and events that go on through the day with your child. They are always willing to address any concerns that you have to improve with the quality of caring.The LTA truly focuses on your childs growth if you are seeking a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for your child. My child's growth and development has truly flourished under their guidance, recently being promoted to the next level class due to the dedication of the former teachers teachings. I highly recommend.

Finding the right daycare was very important to us when we moved to NJ and LTA has met and exceeded our expectations. My older daughter was born in the midst of Covid and had very little interactions outside of home due to the pandemic. She was shy but adjusted so quickly when she started at LTA, thanks to the amazing staff. Ms. Mary did an amazing job making her feel loved and safe. She has developed and learned so much since joining LTA at 18 months old (now 4 years old). Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Kayla, Ms. Q, Ms. Abby and now Ms. Diana have done/are doing such a fantastic job with her.After I saw the love, attention and growth in my older daughter, I also decided to send my second daughter to LTA as well. The staff was very supportive and helping my older daughter adjust to having a sibling. I started sending my second daughter to LTA when she was 8 months. Never did I think, I will be sending my kids to daycare before they turn 1 years old. LTA creates such a loving and intimate environment for the kids. They are attentive and cator to the need of individual kids. Ms. Janice and Ms. Fatima were so so great with my younger daughter. She is now a vibrant, expressive and happy 20 month old. She recently joined Ms. Mary's and Ms. Lucy's class who are also doing a fantastic job with her.I recommend LTA to parents 200%. Thank you LTA family. You all are amazing and we are very grateful for all that you do 🙏

Such an amazing place! We put our son in school here at 5 months old and he has loved every day of it (now almost 2 years old). He has had teachers and caretakers that genuinely care about him and he has grown by leaps and bounds! We definitely recommend!

Learning Tree Academy has been such a blessing for our family. Our daughter has been going there since she was 11 months old and she has truly thrived. The staff is wonderful and treats you like family. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great childcare center in our area.

I can’t say enough about this place. My son was only 5 months when he started coming here. And from day one Ms. Su was so comforting and the director Lori has always been amazing and now he’s in a different class and Ms. Janice is great. They are always giving me updates through out the day. My son is happy and learning so much. I get to go to work with no worries because I know my son is in a safe, clean and happy environment. Thank you all for the amazing job that you do. As a mother I could not ask for more.

It’s difficult to describe the anxiety I had when sending my son to daycare for the first time, but Lori and her team quickly demonstrated that I had nothing to be afraid of. In addition to the amazing care they offer your child, Learning Tree Academy offers a comprehensive curriculum ranging from letters and numbers to feelings and how to properly express them. I am often amazed by how much my son has grown in every aspect during his time at Learning Tree. I cannot recommend this daycare enough!

3 of my kids have attended this school and we would recommend this place to everyone!! They're very passionate about their job. The kids fit right in and didn't complain about not wanting to go back. They help the kids reach their milestones in fun ways! Do not hesitate!!

Learning Tree Academy has been simply Amazing. My daughter attended and my son still does. They are absolutely terrific with skilled teachers that have both patience and kindness. I would give more than 5 stars if google would let me. I would recommend this daycare to any parent and would enrolll my kids again if I could!!!!!

The Learning Tree Academy has been a life saver for me. My son started last year at age 2 and was a bit hesitant separating with mom but this year he started prek-3 and he has been loving everyday. The staff are friendly always with a smile and always flexible to your child's needs. They follow a wonderful curriculum which has learning while playing and when the weather is nice they go outside to their playground which is spacious. They offer 3 days of meals for a small price or you can bring your own lunch that they can heat up. They are also very flexible with the days and hours that you bring your child in. They are a wonderful daycare, I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed!

My daughter has been attending for a little over a year now and since the beginning LTA has been nothing less than excellent! I know my child is SAFE and well taken care of by amazing teachers and would highly recommend LTA to anyone who is looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their child.

Words cannot begin to describe our experience at Learning Tree Academy. My LO started as a fussy baby and wouldn’t stay with anyone nor eat. Yet, Ms. Janice was able to care for him till he began to accept others, eat, play and even walk. Ms. Fatima and Ms. Su have also been awesome with him. Shout out to Ms. Diana for being amazing to my daughter in pre-K 4. The teachers are all amazing and pay such great attention to the kids. Ms. Lori, the director, is so awesome. She attends to the needs of all the kids with such grace, poise and delight. I totally recommend this daycare.

My son graduated pre-k 4 last year and now my daughter started preschool two weeks ago with LTA. I highly recommend LTA. The staff is very responsive. Whenever I have a concern or question about my son or daughter, Lori the director gets back to me almost immediately, which is always comforting.

One big family under one roof !!! That’s how I would explain this daycare.As a single mother of 2 letting go of the kiddos was especially tough for me. Looking for someone to care for them and love them as much as I did was even tougher. I called the faculty because I heard that they were good and it was right next door to my place, so I thought hey why not??.Mrs. Lori was very welcoming at the door. I felt comfortable and just fell in love with everyone. It was very clean and everyone just seemed so happy. I signed the kids up and never looked back. If I had questions or felt unsure about anything she always put me at ease.Mrs. Mary is the best. My son was stuck on the binky and I couldn’t get him off of it. She sure did lol. I loved how she is very nurturing, but also stern on how to discipline the kids in a loving way. My son knew she meant business, but loved her in every way.My daughter learned so much and was super shy when she went in. Turned into this confident , outgoing little lady. It was with the help of Mrs. Diana.Everyone at the faculty is awesome. Ms. Kayla, Ms. Steph and Mrs. Sue. Sweet, very understanding, very loving, and they are just like my family.Thank you Learning Tree Staff for everything.Thank you for keeping my kids safe, happy and healthy. Thank you for making me feel like apart of your family.

My daughter loves LTA. The teachers are great, the facility is clean, and everyone is extremely welcoming. My daughter looks forward to going to school each day and has actually wanted to stay longer to be with friends.

We love the learning tree academy. The teachers are wonderful and so good with my daughter. We love the director as well, she laid with my daughter until she fell asleep nap time. It was really sweet. Definitely recommend this place !

The learning tree academy is a wonderful daycare and I highly recommend. Ms. Lori and the staff are welcoming, professional and experienced. The faculty is clean and well organized as the child are with the appropriate age groups. I am happy to have my son to be apart of the school.

After having such a horrific experience at another daycare with my 8 month old daughter, I was hesitant to enroll her into any other daycare. Lori and the staff at Learning Tree Academy changed all of that! It’s only been a week since my daughter has been attending here, but I can’t believe what a difference this place has been for her. They have her in a great routine which the other place lacked. They are great with communicating when it comes to my child’s needs, and most of all, I can tell how much they care about her. I feel at ease whenever I drop her off because I know she is in great hands! My daughter is always so happy at drop off and pickup. My only regret is that I didn’t enroll her here sooner!

This is a wonderful Daycare. My son was here since 3 months old. He stayed until he was 3 and he loved it. The teachers were great and he learned so much. I would recommend this place to everyone!

My daughter started with 8 months, and I couldn’t be happier with her progress and how happy she goes to LTA. She loves her teachers and everybody else.She is 13 months now and she is really learning faster than I thought. I’m glad we choose LTA as Chloe’s second home

I have sent both of my children to LTA for their Pre-K programs. I could not be happier with my and my childrens' experience with the staff and curriculum! They also created a very safe, clean space and have great protocols that have put my mind at ease.

My child has been attending LTA for two years now and we absolutely love it here. He has grown so much academically and socially, thanks to the dedicated teachers. I feel so comfortable leaving him there everyday, knowing he is in such great hands. The director is always keeping us updated with the new guidelines and always puts the safety of the children first. When the pandemic hit, they were great with offering zoom classes to keep the children engaged and learning. This shows this center will go above and beyond. Once it was time to go back, all safety measures were put in place for the staff and children. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a happy and safe place for their child.

Both my kids attend LTA- my son since he was 18 months and my daughter at 3. They treated my kids like they were their own. The love and support from everyone in the building is incredible. They even designed a learning asst program for school aged children to help parents. Ms. Lori, Ms. Colleen, Ms. Mary, Ms Diane, Ms. Crystal and all the wonderful assistants, thank you for all you do.The covid response- detailed, organized, and made me feel good bringing kiddos back.Lastly- my kids love it so much- they ask to go play with their friends and teachers on weekends haha.

Learning tree academy is everything i was looking for and more. My son is 3, he is learning so much and is always excited for school. The staff is excellent, and makes me feel very comfortable. Miss Stephanie is phenomenal, she always has the cutest projects for them to do, and my son adores her. The school itself is clean and cheery, and definately is being safe during covid times. Definitely recommend Learning Tree Academy!

We have been part of Learning tree Academy since 2017. It's more like family to us now. They are very professional, reliable, punctual and provide good value to your child. Specially during this pandemic, they are doing their best to keep the child safe with all the precautions. We are so lucky to be part of this academy. Highly recommend to new parents who are looking safe and happy environment for their child. Thank you LTA for all your support and love 💕

I have been sending my children to this school since 2013 since they were in the infant room. It is such a warm, caring environment. My kids have learned so much and I always feel comfortable.

My son has been at Learning Tree since he was 4 months old. He is now 5 and because of COVID, he does all of his virtual Kindergarten work in the K-2 program. The staff have been incredible with my son and super patient. I feel like he is getting a lot of one on one time with the teacher and is probably doing better than we would be in the actual Kindergarten class. He enjoys going to LTA everyday and since my husband and I both work from home, we feel he has normalcy and structure despite the pandemic.

We were searching for the right daycare for our daughter before she was even born! There are so many options big and small. After touring several larger options we decided that we wanted a location that was small and focused more individual attention on the students. Learning Tree was highly recommended by a close friend of ours who sent their two children since they were babies as well. As soon as we met Lori and the staff at LTA we knew this was the right place for a Lily. We haven’t regretted our decision once!

This school is the best. My daughter went there for a year and she has learned so much. I would recommend this place to everyone. Love the teachers and principal

Our daughter has been enrolled at Learning Tree Academy since she was 5 months old. From the infant room to the toddler room, she has received excellent care, nurturing, and attention. Now that she is in the toddler room, she is learning so much everyday. My husband and I appreciate the diversity of learning based activities which are also fun for the children. They have activities such as art projects, FUN bus, Yoga, and Music as well special events like Halloween parades and holiday parties. Our daughter really loves it there and that makes us as parents feel very comfortable and pleased with our decision to enroll our daughter at LTA.

My kids have been going here since they were months. They know everyone and are like a second family. The activities are great and the variety and options for more is always available. Great staff, very caring and attentive. Highly recommend.

Wish I could attend this school myself. My son is always so excited in the morning when we enter school and it's struggle to get him leave in the evening. Teachers are fantastic and very professional. Groups are very small and place is very clean and quiet. I would recommend this school to anyone

LTA has been a life saver! As first time parents my husband and I were so worried about where to send our son, when we went for interview Natalya (the director) was so informative and polite, they made the time to explain everything regarding the school that we felt comfortable leaving him there. Now my son is 1 year old and he has been there since he was 2.5months old. It was the best decision we could have made, the teachers are amazing, they all know my son's name and they are very caring, i always feel welcomed whenever i drop him off or pick him up.The classrooms are not overcrowded with kids so i know that my son is getting the attention he needs, the Daily App is amazing since i get updates throughout the day and they also send pictures. When i walk in i rarely hear kids crying which to me is a sign that the kids are happy.My son is always doing some sort of activity and he is eager to go every day, some days he does not want to leave lolI highly recommend LTA and it's teachers, everyone there is amazing! 🙂

Learning Tree Academy is GREAT!!! My son (who is now in elementary school) started there when he was 2 and because I had such a great experience, we decided to send our daughter (now 2). She was such a clingy baby that I was super nervous about the transition into daycare, but thanks to the staff, it was so easy. Her two teachers (Mary and Dana) are AMAZING and so attentive. They are super friendly and truly care for the kids as if they were their kids. My daughter spends so much time at daycare that I am so thankful for how much I can trust the people that are taking care of her. They have taught her so much since she started and she is so excited to go everyday. They also send me daily emails that list out everything she did, fun pictures of her day, as well as when supplies are needed (this makes life so easy)!My daughter actually had a very scary moment where her temperature spiked out of nowhere and she ended up having a seizure. Because of the staff's quick reactions and knowledge on how to handle these situations, my daughter was taken care of and she is happy and healthy today. The staff was there with her the whole time and knew what to do until the ambulance got there. I was contacted immediately to make sure I knew what was happening. There is no scarier moment for a parent than getting a call such as that, but I was never left in the dark and I knew that she was in good hands until I was able to get to her. That sort of trust and peace of mind is extremely hard to find when it comes to our children and I am forever grateful to Learning Tree Academy.

Our day care search was intense and we visited quite a few places. Nowhere did we get the positive feeling we got walking out of LTA. It's a gift that we can find such a high quality day care so close to home that checks off so many boxes. Wonderful management and staff which keep our son happy, learning, and developing

Learning Tree Academy is a wonderful place to send your child. My daughter loves attending the school and is progressing both academically and socially. I highly recommend sending your child here!!

Great daycare. The staff is caring.

We put our son into Learning Tree Academy when he just turned 2. The first set of teachers he had in the toddler room were amazing!! He loved going to school and they made the transition so easy. He came home everyday with lots of art activities and always saying he had a great day. He has been there almost a year in a half and has moved up to two different age appropriate classrooms. During this time they have helped him really grow into his own. His speech has improved 10 fold and I can't believe how smart he has become. I would highly recommend LTA for any parent looking for an affordable, full service day care/pre-k in the East Rutherford/WoodRidge/Carlstadt area.

My daughter loves it here ! Since day one when she was just a 4 months old baby till today at the age of 18 months. The joy of watching her run to the toddler room knowing she’s safe and happy with her friends is such a settling feeling while I work all day !!

My daughter, Cailyn has been with The Learning Tree for about 3 years. The teachers are wonderful with her. Cailyn looks forward to going to day care especially with all the friends she has made. I would recommend this day care to any mom that is looking for a great school to put their child in.

I am honored to send my child to Learning Tree Academy. The staff is caring and passionate about student success. My child has grown not only academically, but socially in the short time we’ve spent at Learning Tree Academy.This is an amazing school!! From the amazing teachers and principal to the wonderful kids. This school really supports positive recognition, learning, and teaching our kids to be confident !!Excellent. They not only focus on academics but on character traits as well which is awesome! . Teachers are very dedicated and friendly. I highly recommend this school!!

There are not enough words to describe the amazing experience our family has had with Learning Tree Academy. Each and every teacher has so much compassion and genuinely cares about each and every child under their care. My daughter has thrived since being here. She is 12 months old and is on the learning curve of an 18 month old which I fully contribute to the Learning Tree Academy and their amazing staff. It was hard leaving my daughter when I went back to work full time but seeing how much she loves it here makes it so much easier for me. Best decision I have made for my child. I can not say enough kind things about this center.

Such an AMAZING daycare/school. The entire staff is so friendly and so loving with the kids that you couldn't ask for more.My son has been there for a year now. He started out in the infant room at almost 7 months and like most moms, I was a MESS leaving him for the first time. But after a week of seeing how excited and happy he got when I went to drop him off, all the fears and worries instantly vanished.Now my son has just moved to the toddler room and the real fun has begun. He comes home with tons of art work and I love reading his daily progress report.If you are looking for a peace of mind knowing your kids are safe and having fun while you are at work, Learning Tree Academy is the place !!

this daycare is the best decision I made for my child. she has learned alot and all of the teachers take care of the students. They treat everyone like family.

Both my kids went here. My son is a graduate, currently in first grade and doing great. I really think the curriculum at Little Stars prepared him well. My daughter is stll enrolled and surprises me every day with what she's learned. It's very academic, not just "baby sitting".It's also really clean, very hygenic. They do a lot with regards to child health and safety. Also very trustworthy. I was pretty nervous about sending my kids to an unfamiliar place, but the teachers treated them like family. I think that's something you might not find in one of those big chain/corporate daycares. This one feels like home.
