I am happy to have made the decision to send my children to Lil' Achievers. My 3-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son have been safe and happy there from the beginning. The owners and teachers have really worked with us to make sure our babies' routines were consistent and our toddlers had plenty of opportunity to practice their new walking, talking, and potty skills. This year my daughter will be starting in the preschool class and we can't wait to see all that she learns!
I currently have two children enrolled at Lil'Achievers. One child is 18 months and the other child is four. I am so impressed with all my children come home and have learned They are happy in the morning when I drop them off. At pick up time my older child asks if he could stay longer. I cant tell you how good it make me feel to know that my children are being well cared for. The teachers make you feel welcomed and the center is clean. If you have not done so already you really need to check out this center.
My children are safe and secure, learning and growing each day! They are surrounded by a loving and personable staff, the director Jennifer and owner Ms. Anne are amazing. Always a great attitude and are very understanding to each child's/parents' needs. The teachers are skilled and keep us parents abreast of all happenings at the location and with our children. They have a very updated curriculum in order to keep the children on the right educational path. I would most certainly recommend this daycare. The kids have fun, they partake in many activities daily.
My two children attend this childcare center. My oldest has been attending since 2011 and I absolutely love the staff. Everyday when I pick him up, he never wants to go home which tells me that he's truly enjoying himself at school.
Both of my children attended lil achievers for over 5 years and i would use and recommend them to anyone i know looking for quality, family style support and top notch education! My daughter went into kindergarten reading at a first grade level and my other daughter scored off the charts with her recent kindergarten entry assessment out of state in our new home. I know that without the love, support and highest regard for being prepared for the elementry school expectations that lil achievers has, they wouldnt have done that. All of the teachers are fantastic, happy and smiling and treat all the children as if they were their own. I was VERY HAPPY with lil achievers daycare.
I absolutely adore Lil Achievers of Howell, NJ. My daughter has been going to Lil Achievers for the past 4 years. She looks forward to seeing her friends that she's made over the years as well as her teacher , staff, office manager and owner. They are all wonderful people. The staff at Lil Achievers are all very nice and always have a smile. They are wonderful with the children as well as have extra activities they offer.
I trust Lil Achievers with my daughter and know that her day being spent at Lil Achievers will be a fun and active day, full of learning new things and making new friends.
My son is getting ready to graduate lil'achievers in a few months and I can't believe where Ms. Colleen has taken him academically this year! He knows all his letters and sounds, his name and how to write it. He is starting to read and knows many sight words and word family words. He knows his numbers and basic addition and subtraction. He also is teaching me sign language and Spanish. I am just over the moon thrilled at what this boy knows! Anyone that doesn't bring their child here is really missing out on a great education! I also love the fact that this is a small school so Ms. Colleen has plenty of time for one on one with my son. The best thing of all is that this child can't wait to get in the car and go to school. My deepest gratitude to you!
I can't say enough good things about this school. Not only does my three year old know her name, letters and numbers but she is also coming home reciting songs and poems. The school is bright and looks like the teachers are always smiling and having fun with the children. My daughter can't wait to go to school every day. I am so glad we made the choice to go to lil'achievers!
Lil achievers is disgusting licensing should really shut them down. I've seen the staff not wash their hands when they are putting the kids lunches out and the building just overall looks like it's going to come down any minute. The school is cheap and I see why. The staff looks unhappy and its so sad it's like the joy has been sucked out of them:(
I can go to work with the peace of mind knowing that my daughter is in good, caring hands. My 2 1/2 year old has been attending Lil'achievers for about a year now and the director and owner really help to ease my fears. The staff is dedicated to meeting the needs of the children. I like that it's not a big chain, that's it's not located in a strip mall-it's in a cozy, friendly house. On top of that, I was given a better rate than most other daycares that I visited.
My 2 grandchildren attend this childcare center and they love it. They were in one of the larger franchise centers and the expense was out of control for my daughter. They were moved to lil achievers and they are so happy to go to school everyday. My daughter is thrilled with the rates and says she can't believe she was paying so much for the same care and education.
