I am an employee
This place is one of the best places I’ve ever had a pleasure to work at. I’ve worked in a few locations, Paramus, Palisades Park, Fort Lee. I don’t know how but staff in each one of those locations manages to be very supportive, very kind, friendly. People I’ve worked with were very open minded when it came to new ideas when you approach and would not hesitate to help me if I had a question or was struggling with something you on the job.
This was my best experience.

Here is why i withdrew my 4-year-old from their Fair Lawn Location
• Staff’s negligence and withholding/misleading information to cover it up
• Abuse of my 4-year-old son which resulted in the eye injury, emergency room services and possible permanent damage
• Not observing the laws of child’s welfare
• Improper report filing and lack thereof overall
• Learned social behavior that does not reflect our family values and proper social manners
