Love this place! The teachers are so sweet and do the funnest & educational activities with the kids! They provide lunch and snacks!
My kids went there for years. Best daycare ever! Extra special things always being done for the kids. The owner Joan is so wonderful. She loved my kids when they went there and years later is still supporting them and doing nice things for them. Had my kids in 2 centers before this one and they were horrible. Beacon was like a second home for them and they loved going there every day! Highly recommend!
My kids are going on there 3rd year at Beacon and in my opinion there’s no other childcare/school in the area that compares. We had previously tried two others and toured a few more. It’s by far the cleanest daycare I’ve been in, and more importantly the teachers have all been amazing with the kids. My boys love it at Beacon Academy, and thankfully they provide top knotch pre-K, Bridge, and Kindergarten programs, so instead of our kindergartner being forced to start the year remote learning, he’s able to have in class teaching and be able to socialize with his friends.
The owner/director Joan is completely and utterly the most disrespectful rude person I have ever met. At first she seems nice and sweet, but wait for it... this is all fake. She is a complete monster, I cannot find words to describe her, she has no business running a childcare center. My toddler’s class has 3 teachers in the mornings, every time I drop him off, all 3 of them are sitting at the desk chatting with each other, not even looking in the direction of the kids, never mind trying to interact with them. The kids are running wild around the room completely unsupervised. Oh, and let me add, in June of 2018, this center was DISCIPLINED BY THE STATE OF NJ FOR A TEACHER PICKING UP AN INFANT BY THE HEAD!!! I’m sorry, what?! The teachers are untrained, unqualified, and probably unhappy. Children are not safe here.
This is a wonderful preschool..
