Little Scholars Preschool & Learning Center

The best preschool around. My daughter attended Little Scholars for 3 years, started when she was 2 and did not speak a word of English. The teachers were very patient, and within weeks she picked up the language. The academics are very strong: she is now in kindergarten at a very good school, and her teacher keeps commenting on how well prepared she is for the kindergarten, her skills are way above what she needed to master before she entered the new school. The staff is always attentive, pleasant to deal with; the director is always within reach - either in person, over the phone or email. My child absolutely loved going there every day, learned a ton, made great friends that we still keep in touch with. I am so grateful we found LS and would recommend it without any reservation.

Excellent pre-school. Staff is completely devoted to child's development. Very loving atmosphere.

My both kids love little scholars. As we are international parents and our kids don't speak english at all when they started, We have only great experience with all the school staff.
Kids are always happy when I pick them up ,and yet they learn so much from the school . What i can ask more from the school when i see my kids are happy and learn new staff at school.

We have two kids that have gone to Little Scholars since they were 3 months old, and it was the best decision my wife and I made. The entire staff from the teachers right up to the Director have demonstrated genuine compassion and care for both of our kids as if it were their very own. The proof has been in the rapid development socially, physically, and mentally and how excited both of our kids are when we drop them off, but just as excited to tell us about their day when we pick them up. They have a created a learning environment and just as important - transparency between the school and the parents.

We also love the cleanliness and the brightness of the classrooms and hallways. We have seen other daycares and some just seem dingy and dark.

I highly recommend this daycare and would be happy to answer any questions about it.

Little Scholars Guttenberg NJ, where to start?
Money! Making as much $ as possible and Give parents as little quality as possible!
1. Overcrowded classrooms AM/PM
2. Not enough employees.
3. High turnover of the employees. 11 different assistant teachers and 2 main teachers changed in one school year. One of them told me she makes $8/hour.
They are leaving because of bad management, treated poorly, not getting enough work hours.
4. Bad/junk food. When we started they provided more and better quality food now they lower the quality and providing fewer snacks/lunch options.
5. Trust. After 1 year I have found out my child never eats!
I have also received call from the school that my son hurt himself and he is bleeding. After I told them I want to check the camera to see what had happened, they changed their statement to "another child hurt him!"
6. Very bad vacation policy! We travel 4-8 weeks a year. They have a policy that we have to pay full tuition for them to hold the spot even though we told them the return date. We had to pay $1400 which is the full months tuition.
When I talked to other parents they told me they never paid when they went away to hold their spot. So they have different rules for everyone.
7. And to top it off, since I was not working I told them I want to enroll my child part time starting this September, they told me, NJ state law does not allow par time enrollment.
