My daughter went to YBR from the ages of 2.5 to 5.5. I will forever be grateful for YBR and Miss Sandi. Im a single mom and a PhD student and required a lot of flexibility with my schedule. Sandi accommodated my needs from day one, and went above and beyond that. She is so kind and honest and truly cares about the kids. YBR doesnt feel like a business, it just feels like a home you drop your kid off at. Theres near zero turnover of employees (who are all wonderful) so my daughter was with the same set of teachers for all three years. All of these things, the flexibility, the nonbusiness feel, the consistency, were such a breath of fresh air after some bad experiences I had with other daycares I used back where I used to live. My daughter came home every day with new songs, art projects, and facts shed learned and most importantly, she was happy. For three years I was able to drop her off somewhere safe, caring, and predictable while I went to school. I can honestly say the weight that that kept off my shoulders plus the flexibility I was allowed to have made a hugely positive impact on my ability to move forward in my degree and still feel like a good mom. How could I not be incredibly grateful for that?

YBR is such a warm environment, especially for the youngest babies. My son is happy and well cared for while I am at work without worries. The staff is experienced, caring and professional. It is wonderful that the owner has worked in the daycare, as well! It feels like a second home for our little one! The school is sensitive to special dietary needs and promotes a healthy diet. It is a language rich environment, which is especially important for young children.

Couldnt speak more highly of this place. Our child has thrived there, and i certainly credit a lot of that to Sandi and the amazing team she has assembled.

My son was attending another day care, and every morning was a huge ordeal to get him dressed and into the car. He would cry and say I dont want to go to school! When wed get there, hed resist every step toward the door, and then beg us not to leave him. It was heartbreaking.We started looking for a new place, local and more comfortable for him. When we found Yellow Brick Road, we knew it was going to be the right place for him. Miss Sandi and the other teachers at Yellow Brick Road are amazing! The environment they have fostered is warm, nurturing and comfortable.Weve been at Yellow Brick Road for a month now, and I cant get over the change in my sons personality. Hes like a whole new kid. Hes happier at home, hes eager to go to school (in fact, I stopped to chat with another parent outside and he kept pulling my arm saying Mommy! Lets go!)Im so glad we found Yellow Brick Road!

We sent both of our kids to Yellow Brick Road when they were babies and thanked our lucky stars every day! They took such good care of our children but also of our mixed emotions. I felt reassured knowing they were in a positive, healthy environment. Since that time the woman running the baby room has expanded to older kids. From everything I have heard she has taken her considerable energy, great leadership skills and amazing ability to work with kids along with her and positively transformed it! We cant wait to send our kids this summer. Love this place!!

Our daughter went to YBR from the age of 5 months to almost 3 years old and she loved it, to the point where she didn’t want to leave when I would come to pick her up. The staff was so caring and so good with the kids, and the environment of the day care is warm and loving. The director is a pleasure to deal with and gets to know each child. She makes every effort to keep the day care open, even on days other schools cancel for snow and with only the bare minimum holidays off. We are moving away and will definitely miss everyone at YBR.

Yellow Brick Road has been like a home away from home for both of our boys, now ages 3 and 8. I wish I could have stayed home with them when they were younger, but unfortunately, it wasnt an option for us. We needed full time care for them when they were each only 12 weeks old. As Im sure you can imagine, choosing a daycare facility for an infant was not a decision we took lightly. Im confident we made the best choice possible with Miss Sandi and her loving staff. My son looks forward to going to preschool every day! He especially loves Miss Vena and Miss Angela. He talks about them as if they were family. Being a working parent is hard, but thanks to the caring environment at Yellow Brick Road, my husband an I have one less thing to worry about every week.

A Highland Park institution, serving the town for over 30 years. The staff are kind, caring and attentive, and the director, Miss Sandy, is very approachable and full of heart, which is evident in how she treats the both parents and the kids in her care. Highly recommend.

The folks at Yellow Brick Road are wonderful. The staff members are warm, loving, and professional. My husband and I found YBR to be the perfect alternative to the corporate and impersonal daycare centers that dot the highways in NJ. It is a family-like setting, which we really appreciate. We have made a lot of friends - the other parents are terrific. Yellow Brick Road is like a second home for my son. I cant say enough good things about Yellow Brick Road!

I called to ask about doing a walk thru to view the facility. The person responded with we have no availability until september 2020. When i said tried to get more information bc i was still interested the lady yelled at me telling me she had a website. Completely unprofessional and to think i was going to pay more than most other places for my child to go there based off a friends recommendation. These people were plain rude and will never have my business

This is really a 10 Star business! My daughter was enrolled at Yellow Brick Road Day Care several years ago, and I still remember it fondly for the amazing care and homey environment. The quality of care is unparalleled . I had such peace of mind when I dropped my child off there. The staff is truly passionate about caring for children and it shows. The place is so well kept and decorated to create a happy enviornment. Even though she outgrew day care, we couldnt help stopping by to say hello recently when we were in the area. Sandra is doing an amazing job continuing the success of Yellow Brick Road. I very highly recommend this day care.

We sent our daughter here as both a baby and a toddler. We always felt confident she was in safe and great hands. YBR kept us informed about her day and the staff was very responsive and helpful with questions and advice. Our daughter absolutely loved being here, she was excited to go every morning.

My daughter is going to YBR since February this year. We had brought her from India just then. Both I and my husband are working so we needed a daycare for her. She was just two years old and wouldn’t understand and speak English which made the situation more difficult. Hence we needed a facility where she could get special care and attention. Obviously, we wanted to choose the best.We chose YBR based on the reviews we read online and the good things we heard about it. I can happily proclaim that they have met our expectation, even beyond that. I get amazed looking at the progress my daughter have made in few months.I would like to thank Ms. Sandy and her staff. They are wonderful. Keep up the good work.

We absolutely love Yellow Brick Road. We sent our daughter here when she was one up until three and are now planning on sending our 3 month old son. The staff is very caring and attune to all of the childrens’ needs. My daughter would actually cry at times when I went to pick her up as she didn’t want to go home! I know that my three month old will be very well cared for and am excited to have him grow with the team from YBR. Also - Sandee is very accommodating and totally understands what it is like to leave your child for an entire day in the hands of someone else. She not only takes care of your child, but also of you, the parent, which is a rarity. I highly reccomend YBR.

I had both of my girls here from age 2-5 and age 6 weeks to 4. They both loved this daycare. They learned a lot of amazing skills: friendship, caring, kindness, compassion, as well as latin, science, art and music. They were always nurtured, hugged and loved. There is no better place to trust with the caring of your children. We Love YBR!

Yellow Brick Road, led by Miss Sandy, is full of kindness. When we relocated to Highland Park from Australia we hoped that our daughter would settle-in and enjoy going to pre-school in the USA. From day 1, our daughter loved the school and now after 2 years still pulls me out the door of our house to go each day. Our daughter has not only enjoyed herself but has learned a bunch of new things too...it is always nice when you realize that you didnt teach her that fact/song/dance and she has learned something great from going to school. We are now planning on sending our 3 month old to the nursery at Yellow Brick Road. I recommend YBR to anyone looking for a pre-school in the Highland Park area.

We had three kids attend YBR between 2008 and 2013. Our daughter started in the baby house, which Sandi ran at the time, and our sons began as munchkins. YBR has always been a warm and inviting place. It has been a lifesaver on days schools are closed and we had to be at work. The staff is wonderful and does all sorts of creative projects and prepares kids well for the fundamentals of Kindergarten. When we moved to Highland Park and knew nobody, this was the place that made us feel part of the community. The kids really become part of a larger family there. Thanks to YBR, we have developed a circle of friends with kids the same age. Im sad our kids have outgrown the place. I miss it.

My daughter (now 5) attended YBR and my son (19 months) is currently at the infant/toddler center. My experience with both children has been nothing but wonderful. The staff at YBR is above all else caring and it feels like an extension of your family. The staff is knowledgeable and always willing to listen to specific concerns. It is never easy to leave your child in the care of others, but the staff at YBR has always made me feel that my children were loved and well cared for while I was at work.

My son was one of the first children at the Infant & Toddler Center when it opened in 2007. I had some concerns about sending him to daycare because he was a preemie; Sandi, then director of the Infant Center, absolutely put my mind at ease and every member of the staff was loving, attentive, and responsible. He flourished under their care and at the YBR preschool, from which he graduated four years later. Over that time the YBR community became an extended family: my son made lasting friends, his friends parents became my friends, and the staff have been the only babysitters weve used on evenings out. I didnt think twice about enrolling my daughter there when she came along, and she too loves her caregivers and is making friends and flourishing like her brother. Sandi, now heading both schools, has carried Graces mantle beautifully. Couldnt recommend YBR more highly.

My 3 year old son had never been in a school setting or daycare prior to attending Yellow Brick Road. He was getting bored at the babysitters house and needed more stimulation and socialization. After having another baby I decided to enroll him here. It was the BEST decision! He now sings songs, knows his ABCs, and always comes home with different facts he learned at school. Even his behavior has improved! Miss Sandy, Miss Veena, and all the staff are wonderful and compassionate. They made my son feel very comfortable in a new atmosphere and he now looks forward to going 3 days a week. He will soon be attending our local public pre-school and I am so grateful for his time spent at Yellow Brick Road! To be honest, I wish he could stay here longer. I chose this daycare because its close to my job, but its totally worth the 45 minute commute everyday. Wish I could move them closer to my house in north Jersey! Thank you for everything :)

We sent both our little ones to Yellow Brick Road and not only were they better for it, but, as new parents, Miss Sandi and Co. really calmed our nerves and made the process seamless with minimal anxiety.Both our son and daughter got excellent care and learned a ton at YBR. More, it really prepared them for preschool. Finally, since we didnt know anyone in town before kids, YBR really provided an essential entry point in meeting other parents -- many of whom well likely know through our kids high school graduation and beyond.YBR is highly recommended.

I have a 7 year old who has graduated from the Yellow Brick Road baby, toddler and pre-school (known to many affectionately over the years as YBR) and a 4 year old who is currently splitting her busy days between YBR and Irving School. I also have older nephews who went through YBR years ago.Grace owned the School for many years and Sandy was a Director. Grace retired and Sandi has been the owner for a while now. The transition was beyond smooth, as Sandi continues to bring her positive energy to YBR. She is a caring, hard working, attentive, aware soul, a caring and kind person. We can never take for granted dropping a child off for the day at a day care facility, and I never have. Ive been and remain totally and completely comfortable with Sandi, Grace, and every employee at YBR. I am an Attorney in New Brunswick NJ, and live in Highland Park, and they have been fantastic over the years with caring for my kids and communication. Every member of the staff - I would invite to my home or absolutely trust as a sitter for my child.My kids are both doing very well, fortunately, with school and age appropriate activities. Having spent the majority of their week days at YBR, I have to thank YBR for their intellectual and emotional progress.As my baby soon also graduates I can say we will miss the YBR experience. Along with my children, there are decades of kids whose friendships were forged at YBR. It really is a unique and wonderful part of the experience. As for us, we still have Birthdays, game nights, play dates, and summer cook outs with the crew of YBR parents, including Rutgers professors and locals, even as some of the kids have moved or are in different schools. YBR cultivates positive interaction between children that yield long lasting friendships.If your looking for a day care, YBR is a fine, long established, proven good choice.
