Baby Galileo Daycare and Preschool

I have had a positive experience with Baby and Kiddie Galileo. My daughter has been there since she was 5 mths old and is leaving for Pre-K 3 this Fall. During the time she's been there, I've been very pleased with the care she's been given, the milestones she's met, and staff.

The staff did an excellent job potty training my daughter, she was fully trained before she was 2 1/2. I feel that my daughter is thriving at Kiddie Galileo, she's safe, happy, and well taken care of, and completely ready for PreK 3 this Fall. Although she does not always get it perfect (which I don't mind of course, I'm just glad she's learning!), my daughter can count up to 20, knows her ABCs, can write her name, etc. She even told me the Pledge of Allegiance a few days ago. I think they did a great job!!! And the price is right, you really can't beat it for downtown Jersey City.

My daughter has been with Baby Galileo since she's about 5 months and she's been there for about 4 years. It was a great experience. I sincerely recommend Baby Galileo to Jersey City parents.

Caregivers and teachers are the most precious value of Baby Galileo. They are really kind to kids and pay good attention to what kids need. Our daughter was cheered up and welcomed by all teachers, even by the ones who are not in her class. They clean desks and dishes after lunch or snack time. Classroom and toys are cleaned periodically, too. Kids there are happy and having fun. Teachers are happy from their heart when playing and singing with children. To me, it is very important that teachers can also enjoy their job.

The school's director is really helpful. She responds to email requests and phone calls very quickly. Every year the school organizes field trips to farm and zoo. There are also library visits, water playing, and some other outdoor activities so the kids will really enjoy in their school hours.

Safety is always the first issue when parents choosing daycare. Baby Galileo has secured door and sign in/out system. Security and safety rules were followed strictly. Though, same as all other places, accidents happen. My daughter experienced couple of small accidents during the last few years, such as baby bite, accidental fall, etc. Teachers normally gave kids first-aid help immediately, called us in time to communicate the condition, and they also wrote accidental reports with details. So far we are satisfied with how the accidents were taken care of.

Last but not least, the tuition charge of Baby Galileo is probably the most reasonable one in Waterfront Jersey City. Locations of Baby Galileo are very nearby Grove Street Path station, which is quite convenient for parents who work in the city.

My daughter has been attending this daycare since she was 4 months old. She is 3 year old now and graduating from Kiddie Galileo this September. Here is the summary of my 3 years of experience.

The caregivers/teachers are great...extremely nice and polite. The director stays on top of everything. All classes in the center (both locations) maintain cleanliness and hygiene. Once the child turns one, they involve him/her in painting and different types craft projects and learning activities. They take kids(2 year and above) to nearby park and on field trips.

It's a decent place with a reasonable cost.
