A Star Is Rising Early Learning Center LLC

I am a parent and I have sent my daughter here from when she was 1 year old until she was in PRE-K ready to go off to kindergarten (which she was over prepared for because of the amazing curriculum and teaching). This branch was not open yet but all the teachers and the owner transferred to open this location. The owner Frannie taught my daughter and EVERY teacher at this daycare treated my daughter as if she was their own. The preparedness for kindergarten, development and how much she learned over the years was above anything I could have expected. I now send my 8 month old baby girl to a star is rising at the bergenfield location and I wouldn't trust any other facility other than them with my babies. My older daughter now goes to this location in Dumont on occasion when we need alternate care and NEVER have heard from other parents or experienced an issue in all my years with these amazing care givers. My daughter begs me to go and visit her teachers and is so excited when she gets to go to spend the day there. As for accidents go, with young children this can happen at any time, even at home. Anytime my daughter fell or got hurt in any way which happened rarely but accidents on occasion, there was always a photo and an explanation and a phone call right away handled professionally and properly. I have built a wonderful relationship with the teachers and caregivers over the years and they are wonderful people who give their all to the kids everyday. Thank you A star is rising!!!

My child is currently enrolled. This is his second year at A Star Is Rising *Dumont Location. Words don't express how thankful I am for the attentive care they give my child. He's learned so much from his teachers. If you would let him, he would go to school on the weekends. With that being said that says a lot about the teachers. There's nothing negative I can say because we have only had positive things. I can guarantee you your child will enjoy this school. Learning is important and the teachers teach these children what is needed to know to be prepared for Kindergarten. The atmosphere is exceptional, loving, caring, attentive, fun, and supportive.

my daughter started here when school shut down during the pandemic, and continued for summer camp. She has a blast! This facility doesnt only focus on their smallest students they include the older ones as well which was a big relief. Ms. Franny and her staff are super creative with their weekly themes and original activities. when my daughter was doing virtual school here the wifi didnt pose an issue either and they were very great with helping her navigate things online. They also are very adamant about limited screen time (aside from learning programs) which i am so thankful for. some places allow the kids to be on the phone/ipad the entire afternoon. we highly recommend a star is rising for all ages

Absolutely the best Daycare in Dumont. I had both my kids with them. They do so many activities with the kids and prepare them so well for kindergarten. I can only say good things about the Dumont location. Parents you can rest assured your kids are in great hands!!

I have a four year old son and I have sent him to this day care center almost month and a half. One day, they call me and said that, my son got scratched in his chick and I received a picture. After I saw the picture I called them again. I thought it’s an accident and while I was talking at the phone to my sons teacher she repeatedly said that “ I didn’t hit him” and I said that I am not accusing her but she repeated again and again. I sent my wife ( I was working in the city) to there to get my son and when she get there my son obviously said that his teacher Barbara hit him. He even described how she hit him. I Remowed my son from day care and Next day I went there for an explanation and the owner of the day care try to give me a different explanation than what my sons teacher made. I told them to give my deposit and I don’t want to see them ever again and they said they can’t because of policy. And they want me to send my son to another branch their day care. ( They thought that I would still send my child to them even though they beat him up) I walked out and went to police station and held up a report regarding this incident and while I was in the police station they call me and said that they are sorry and willing to pay my deposit. As of today (01/07/2019) I went there to pick up my deposit but they didn’t pay. Long story short. Social service opened a case and they are investigating and my family and I waiting for it. Please be considered. This day care center doesn’t have any cc camera system and when I asked them at the beginning they told me church doesn’t allows ( church is landlord of the building). And after I asked them they said that the CITY doesn’t requires. What I understood is that, they don’t care about our children but money.
