Our son has been at this center since he was about 3 months old or so. Our son is now 3 years old and still enjoys going to school every day. It is so hard to leave your little one with others, especially when you are new to being a parent and your child is so young. Leaving our baby while we went to work was very hard for us at the beginning. The teachers were all very supportive and made strong efforts to tell us about how the day went, new skills learned, difficulties overcome, or even just some quirky thing the little dude did that day. We've even gathered some parenting 'tricks' from the teachers at the center over the years that have enriched our relationship with our son. Frankly, I am so thankful for the teachers at this center, I do not hesitate to leave our boy to their care, and trust them to help our little guy learn new skills, give him some comfort when he needs support, and respectfully teach him discipline (gently) when he gets too far out of line.
I really like Kindercare in general for its learning curriculum, but the teachers at Meadowlands Kindercare Center, and the teamwork they exhibit, is what makes this particular center really great. Without the teachers that care, that put in the effort, and that engage the children, then even the best learning curriculum will falter. The teachers are the cornerstone of the Meadowlands Kindercare Center. One teacher has been at the Meadowlands Center for 17 years (!) and another has been at the Meadowlands Kindercare Center for 30 years (!!). To me this indicates a level of dedication and care that you don't find anymore. Our boy has been in both teachers' classrooms and they are both so patient and attentive that our son really excelled in both of their classrooms. These are not just the qualities of two teachers at the center. I have found that the atmosphere of care extends throughout every teacher I interact with. The thing is, all the teachers here are great no matter their number of years experience at this center, I sincerely enjoy talking with all of them when I come to scoop up our boy in the evening. It is definitely one of the high points of my day.
I think you should strongly consider enrolling your little one at this center. Meet with the center director Theresa and any of the teachers here and you'll see what I mean.
