I am incredibly happy with the care and attention my daughter has received at this Safari Kid branch. The teachers have been exceptionally helpful and supportive throughout her time here. I truly realized how amazing they were when I considered moving to a different Safari Kid branch due to a longer commute. Their dedication and effort went above and beyond my expectations, making the decision to stay an easy one. I highly recommend this branch for their outstanding service and commitment to children’s well-being.

We were on the hunt for an exceptional preschool for our child and stumbled upon Safari Kids Newpark Mall. After researching their curriculum and staff, we decided to enroll our kid and it has been more than two years since. We have witnessed growth in his language development, writing and communication skills, and athletic abilities. The staff and teachers are well qualified and dedicated to ensuring that the child feels comfortable and supported in their learning journey. During the pandemic, the director of the school Ms. Sonal went above and beyond by bringing lunch for our child when the food catering service was not yet available. This act of kindness speaks volumes about the school's commitment to their students' well-being. Needless to say, Safari Kids Newpark Mall is one of the best preschools out there, and we are very happy with our child's overall progress. We highly recommend this school to any parents seeking a comprehensive approach to their child's development.

Both my husband and I looked at multiple preschools before finalizing on safari kid. From the moment we got the tour of the school and met the director miss Sonal, our gut just said that this is the right place for our daughter. And we are very happy with the decision we made. The school has very good balance of play based learning with academia. My daughter is 2 and 1/2 years old and already recognizes different shapes, colors, says and counts numbers from 1 to 20, alphabets from A to Z and much more. The teachers are very kind and patient with the kids and they go above and beyond to make your child feel comfortable. And she's always excited to go back to school. Miss Sonal, the director is very, very personable. She listens to the parents feedback and incorporates it in their teaching. We love Safari kid and would recommend it to our friends and family in a heartbeat.

I have started with Safari Kids when my Son was 2 year. They take lots of efforts towards each and every kid. Very loving, supporting and good teachers. I am glad that my son is in good hands. Thank you Safari Kids and teachers.

I enrolled my child at safari kid Newark school, and unfortunately, there was an incident involving physical contact with a teacher. I feel it's important to share my feedback regarding this matter in order to promote a safe and nurturing environment for all children. My child is typically very communicative and shares details of his school experiences at home. Previously, he attended a Montessori school and had a positive experience with no complaints. However, due to a long vacation, we lost his seat at the previous school and had to choose this school for its proximity to our house. He started attending in February and soon reported an incident where he was hit by a teacher. We initially reached out to the school, but they denied the incident took place. We decided to give it more time, but unfortunately, within a week, a similar incident occurred, and this time, our child showed us visible marks on his body and described the entire incident. When we brought this to the school's attention again, instead of understanding our concerns, they became defensive and accused our child of not listening. This led us to withdraw our child from the school on the very same day."
