Description: Play and Learn School (PALS) is a privately owned, non-sectarian preschool located in Hillsborough, New Jersey. We are fully licensed and certified by the state and have been in the Hillsborough area for over twenty years!
Drama music and artPALS offer several programs that are designed to prepare your child socially and academically for kindergarten and beyond. We offer half day and full day options. We also offer a LUNCH BUNCH which will add an extra hour to your child’s school day. Classes meet 2 - 5 times per week depending on the program selected. Our building has three large classrooms and we are always open to parent visitation.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. My daughter started preschool, after a month later, she was complaining and telling me that her teacher was mean. After I discuss the situation with the owner. They told me that she does not belong to this class and I should switch her. They should of worked little harder on her knowing that she has never been in a school environment before. There are a lot of kids in there and I think they do not have the patience to care for the kids. I did not agree and decided to pull her out. They charged us whole month of October but she only attended 2 days withing that month. They also charged us in June a non refundable registration fee as well as the first month tuition (which is September). In September, they charged us again. They would not refund anything back. There are a lot of other places in Hillsborough for child care, I would stay away from this facility.
