What Parents Say
The Montvale Learning Experience has highly polarized reviews. Five parents praised caring staff, clean facilities, and quality programming, while five others reported serious concerns including inadequate supervision, harsh discipline, unreported injuries, poor management communication, and neglectful care.
Our family had a great experience with the learning experience. Our child started there at only 6 months and Ms Margaret was spectacular. She didn't just take care of our baby she took care of us as parents to assure us the baby was in great hands. This day care was terrific on celebrating holidays with the kids and always creating events for the kids. Some teachers were friendlier than others but our child did very well there.
My 2 children have been attending The Montvale Learning Experience for almost 3 years now. The teachers have the best interest of the children in mind at all times. There is no question that when I leave my children in the morning, they are in great hands. I fully trust the staff and that is most important to me when it comes to child care.
As a first time mom, returning to work when my maternity leave ended was not something I was looking forward to. After doing extensive research and visiting many daycare centers near both home and work, my husband and I decided on The Learning Experience in Montvale, NJ when she was 5 months old. My daughter has been enrolled here for over a year and a half and she absolutely loves it! We could not be happier with our decision. From the infant rooms to the toddler room, she has encountered such loving and caring teachers. Knowing that she is being taken good care of, learning a lot and having so much fun each day is so important. It’s so easy to drop her off each morning and see her smile and run over to hug her teacher. The Learning Experience is so lucky to have Miss Raven, Miss Laura, Miss Karrah, Miss Nicole, Miss Krista and all of the other caring and talented teachers on their staff. I could not be more grateful for the care and attention she is getting there and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality daycare center!
Honestly I'm very disappointed. This location is very convenient for me but it didn't work out for my son, who never went to daycare before and spoke limited English. He cried so much there that he threw up. His teacher couldn't calm him down so the manager always called me to pick him up, one time just minutes after I dropped him off. I didn't see they took great efforts to help my son adjust. Meanwhile, I understand there is only 1 teacher for 10 kids so it's hard for the teacher to attend him well. In the end, I had to pull him out in the mid of the month. Also, note that they have a no refund policy. I still give it a 3 star as it may work for kids that are used to daycare setting and it has a nice facility.
My son was just 2 yrs old. Teachers used to punish him severely . Shout at him that made him scared. He used to twist his fingers( both hands) and also his mouth when scared. He just cannot talk.When I take him to daycare he does not want to enter class room. All these he developed in this daycare. I had seen a teacher yelling and pulling kids by one hand of kid roughly. Here injuries are never reported. Teachers blame each other. My son had head injury and it was never reported. It was a heavy injury and blood was bluish. When asked teachers no one is aware and say next teacher/ previous teacher. Front desk were not worried or helping to find the cause. When asked to check cameras there was no effort made. Janet just makes faces without listening After two days they came up with a self made accident report of shelf hitting my sons head. Why do they have security cameras that cannot be shared ? This place , teachers, front desk and management sucks. It's a HELL FOR KIDS.. After changing daycare I see he is no more scared.
