This is the worst daycare in Elizabeth area. I know this from personal experience. I took my child for a year to Saint Joseph's and things kept on getting worse. I decided to take him to a different school and they did not like this. They told me I couldnt get my deposit back because I didnt notify them in writing. I notified them more than a month in advance that my son's last day was Jun 21st. I learned that other 5 kids were in the same situation. This is what they were forced to do in order to survive; take the deposits from all 6 kids. I wonder why all these kids are leaving....actually I know why! These place has very few teachers. My son was learning a lot at the begining, but all of the sudden something happened and my son stopped bringing homework and he didnt learn a thing after that. Many times I took him to the bathroom and there was no paper towel or soap. The list of supplies they give you on first day is ridiculous. It includes paper towel, soap, tissues, everything except what the kids really need in order to learn. Thanks to this my son will not be graduating, even though I paid for his cap and gown, and I also paid for the party they are supposed to have after. They stole a total of $200 from me. I hope they can enjoy it very much....they obviously need it more than I do.
