This comment above is totally false. I have worked here for years and know for a fact that would NEVER happen. How can infants and toddlers bully each other? It does not happen in this school. I invite anyone to come see for yourself. We have one of the most professional staff and administrations you will ever come across. We would not have a contract with the Board of Education for the Abbott Program for 15 years if we operated or school badly.This facility has cameras and monitors everywhere. They must have their schools mixed up. We have never had such a complaint. If we did it would show under complaints on the NJ licensing website. If you do your research you will see our clean record there. People should really not believe everything they read. This previous comment is false and ridiculous.
Horrible school. My daughter came home telling me the teacher hit her and they never did anything about it, then my daughter was getting bullied and because she would defend herself she was the only "bad" one in the situation. After so many times of asking them to change her class, the day I decided to pull her out they "randomly" found a spot to switch her.
