What Parents Say
Willa Road Children's Center receives mostly glowing reviews praising its warm, caring staff, small class sizes, and nurturing environment in a wooded setting. However, two recent negative reviews raise serious concerns about supervision, incident reporting, and staff communication with parents.
Willa Road is such a sweet daycare tucked away in a little neighborhood oasis. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and sense of community - the staff are so kind and thoughtful. The teachers truly care for each child, and it shows in the way they create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment every single day. We always felt confident dropping our kiddos off, knowing they were surrounded by people who genuinely love what they do. It quickly became a true “home away from home” for our family, and we are so grateful for the positive experience we had here. Willa Road is a gem, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly to any family looking for a safe and loving place for their children.
My grandson was welcomed into the baby classroom with open arms and they were able to enroll him quickly which was the miracle we needed! My daughter and her family were moving back to Newark and needed a loving daycare environment. This Willa Road space reminded me of the daycare my own son had attended. Loving people, outdoor space, a clean environment, and a staff who have their own children there and who have been there several years. That is the kind of daycare this is! Today is a lucky day because you found Willa Road!
Willa Road is a caring, loving early childcare center that treats children like they’re part of the family. It’s small. So, it feels much more personal than the bigger, corporate centers. My children were so happy. It’s set in a cozy, wooded lot, which is a bonus. I’m grateful there is a new center director after a former director who didn’t seem as present.
My children have attended Willa Road Children’s Center since 2023. My son went after school since he attends the elementary school across the street. I love the small class sizes (6-8 students per classroom) and I love that every staff member knows my children, not just their classroom teachers. Taylor, Melody, Emma, Debbie, Gabby, Niyah, Mary Grace and Patti (who prepared my son especially well for kindergarten) are lovely! Highly recommend!
Fun and calm environment for our toddler. She loves her teachers and has learned so many words! Very flexible scheduling. Fantastic natural outdoor space and lots of shade
