KinderCare at Old Bridge

We have been sending our daughter to KinderCare of Old Bridge since she was 1. She is now 4 and it is clear how much of a positive impact it's had on her development. My wife and I cannot put into words the gratitude we have for Ms. Jenny, Ms. Lori, Ms. Giselle, Ms. Preetha, Ms. Karina, Ms. Rebecca, and Ms. Lara (as well as many others) for taking such great care of our little girl. She has learned so much and is having fun in the process. Most importantly it provides much needed structure.

We knew from the moment we visited for a tour that there was something special about this place. That comfort level made it an easy decision when choosing where to send our daughter. We will be sending our son as well once he is a little bit older.

Please check on your children randomly if they are in this school, they discipline kids with " roughness" according to them it's needed sometimes on kids.
They are not passionate about what they do.

I don't recommend this place to ANYONE! I have a 2yr old daughter that was in the baby class and needed to go to the bigger kids toddler classroom since she is almost turning 3 now, I notice some behaviors I didn't like on a few teachers when I would come earlier to pick up my daughter, I then decided to show up earlier to school to see what's going on in my daughters new class. I showed up earlier, the teacher Ms. Preetha & the assistant Ms. Nicole from the toddler class were being very mean to the kids, Ms. Preetha pulled one by the shirt towards her and Ms. Nicole the assistant was laying one of the girls down with force. Their attitude was as if they had no motivation to even be there and disturbing. Ms. Maya was watching through the window with me and didn't seem concerned at all and I said to her why are they being so rough with the kids and my daughter is in a corner shaking and crying SCARED, her answer to me was " sometimes they have to be a little rough with them " I looked at her and thought to myself where is it that I have my daughter omg this is sad, I opened that door and told Ms. Preetha I've been watching for a while and didn't like the way they were treating our kids. The director and assistant weren't there so I left. This was very disturbing!!! My daughter has problems engaging with other kids and she gets therapy so being in a place where she doesn't feel safe because of what she is looking at is not making her progress any better. The next day I went to the school with my daughter and her therapist to talk to Krissy the director, once we are there and try to explain to Krissy what's going on she was changing her mood getting very mad then she was trying to keep calm but couldn't help it, I asked her to call the teacher that was standing watching and her answer to me was " well you know she's in class right now " and I said to her so this is not important to you then, we are talking about the safety of all YOUR kids here. I took my daughter out of the school after talking to Krissy the director because she made it seem it wasn't important or that serious. I'm glad my daughters therapist went with me and saw everything!I couldn't believe they acted like it was not a serious problem!

I don't recommend this place to any parent that is concerned about the way their child is being treated when you are not around , if you just chose this location my message to all parents is to Show up earlier or do random stop checks to see what is going on with your child PLEASE

If they have negative stars I would give that. DONOT put your child in this daycare. We are going through something that no parents should go trough. On my old daughter's second day, I went check on her and saw Ms. Lori misbehaving with my child while putting her down for a nap. She had her foot on my daughter's back trying to put pressure so that she doesn't get up. I was shocked to see this and wouldn't believe this really happened. The other teacher Ms. Jenny was present in the room also didn't say anything. When I confronted Ms Lori, the assistant director and the center Director Krissy, the teacher accepted this did happened and she did it in the moment! None of the staff members were shocked to hear that this had happened. They all were trying to convince me that her "intent" wasn't bad. With what intensions she had her foot on my two year old? No child deserves to be treated this way. If your child is enrolled at this location I HIGHLY advised please go and check on your child through out the day and seriously consider an alternative.
