My child was at this facility for years. It is a safe, nurturing and creative environment. The academics program is wonderful and encourages kids to not just learn by rote but to also be critical thinkers. The pre-school has existed for more than 20 years. My daughter is now an adult, with a Masters in Education. I’m now a staff member in another part of the organization (not the school). I highly recommend this school.
Caring, loving, professional, genuine, sincere, and involved are just a few words I can use to describe the academy and staff at Li'l Masters. Not only do my wife and I feel that our children are safe, secure and well cared for; we know that, from an academic perspective, they are also being challenged, mentally stimulated and equipped with the proper tools and foundation of a well-rounded curriculum. But it's not just about how they've been able to cultivate and nurture our children's intelligence and development. Their values and principles of loving one another, treating others with respect and dignity, and even the sense of community, that not only our children feel, but we as parents feel as well, with the staff and other parents whose children attend the academy; making Li'l Masters our number one choice and recommendation for any parent or guardian seeking childcare, preschool or kindergarten in Jersey City or anywhere in North Jersey for that matter!
