Review №1

I love kids count and so does my son. Miss Brittany is so loving,caring and nurturing She made the adjustment period for him so easy! He now knows his schedule and looks forward to going to school on his days to see her and His friends. Miss Kelly, there aren’t enough words to express how helpful and accommodating she is to any issue I had to face. I just love this school on a whole. Everyone is so nice and helpful. I’m glad I found a great school where my son feels comfortable, safe and loves going to! THANK YOU KIDS COUNT! Not to mention the new owners who are so nice and welcoming!!!! When I heard of the ownership change I became a little concerned thinking of the changes to come, when in reality I was worried for no reason at all because they are truly the best! All the new upgrades and changes are nothing but greatness for the school AND students! I love all that has been done already. Looking forward to what’s yet to come!

We only need childcare a couple days a week. Kids Count has always been so accommodating with our schedules. We often have last minute switches here and there and its never a problem. My son loves all of the teachers and hes learning so much even though he only goes twice a week.

Kids Count Child Center is a great place to send your kids. My daughter has been going there for the last year and a half. She has had an amazing experience there. She has grown so much within that time frame. The care you get is top notch and I rate it as 5 starts and A++. From the first time we met with Miss Kelly (the Director) to the time my daughter walked in their doors they show they really care about her. They make my daughter feel great when she is there and go above and beyond for her. They also always have a warm and caring atmosphere for the children and parents. We will soon be sending a second child there. The Owners/Director/Staff are all amazing there. I highly recommend Kids Count Child Center.

I wholeheartedly, and without reservation, recommend Kids Count. Kids Count was our second home for many years as we sent all three of our girls there, right through kindergarten. When I was faced with the reality of going back to work, we had a difficult and painful decision ahead of us. Who do you entrust with the care of your child/children? Initially, we had tried an in home day care; however, we felt uneasy about our childrens safety. We then tried a day care center which was housed in a brand new and beautiful facility. At first, our children seemed as though they were well taken care of there. However, as the numbers grew, the care became less and less personal. One day, I arrived to pick up my child and found she was burning up with fever, and no one noticed! Needless to say, the search began again. We toured countless facilities, none of which made us feel comfortable and secure in the care our children would receive. Exasperated, my final call was to Kids Count. From the first interaction, I got the impression that it was a warm and caring place. Kids Count far exceeded that first impression! They took the time to get to know us, and to understand the social, emotional, behavioral, and educational needs of our babies. They became family! I was able to go to work every day, completely confident that my children were not only being supervised and educated, but loved and nurtured too. Further, when they started in first grade, all three of my girls were worlds ahead academically. And, to this day, with my oldest now in high school, some of the staff still stay connected with our girls and support their accomplishments!

When looking for a preschool for my two children, I toured several different places in Old Bridge, Marlboro, South River and Manalapan.As a working mother, I was looking for a place that I could feel good about, knowing that when they left my side, their emotional needs would still be met. At many of the corporate locations I visited, although very fancy and offered many programs, I didnt feel that my kids emotional needs were going to be met. Specifically, as they were a little over a year apart, they would be in different rooms. A question I always asked was: What if my kids are sad and want to see each other since theyve spent the last three years with only each other? Every corporate center I visited said not to worry, that they would get over their sadness and that it was against the rules to let them go into each others classrooms. This did not make me feel warm and fuzzy. However, upon my first tour of Kids Count with Miss Casey, I asked her the same question. Her response was that the teachers would do everything they could to make the kids feel better; however, there was absolutely no problem with letting them go into each others room to see a reassuring face or give each other a big hug. I was already impressed after I toured the classrooms and met the teachers, but Miss Caseys words showed me that this center would care for my kids MORE than corporate rules, and this was what ultimately helped me make my decision to send my kids there.Nevertheless, as a teacher, my other main concern was the level of education my children would be receiving. My son was entering preschool and my daughter Pre-K, neither having spent any time in school. Luckily, Kids Count educational program is competitive, sophisticated, and aligned with the National Common Core Standards. Two years later, my daughter will be graduating from Kindergarten on a second grade reading level, having over 230 sight words memorized, but more importantly, being able to pick up a book and read it to her little brother as she uses the reading skills Miss Shari taught her (to sound out more difficult words, and then rereading the sentence for meaning and understanding)! She is also able to add (without using her fingers) and subtract as well as tell time. This is just some of the exceptional education she received in Kindergarten. Similarly, at the end of his Pre-K year, my son has also learned sight words, how to identify word families, simple math and science as well as how to tell time. Equally important to me, as a sometimes rambunctious boy he has started learning how to think before he makes choices as well as how to be polite and a good sharer.Overall, words cannot express how grateful I am to the staff at Kids Count for providing my family with great experiences, both educational and emotional, over the past two years. For those of you looking for an infant or toddler room, although my children did not attend these, many of the kids who graduated with my daughter have been in Kids Count since they were just months old, and I know their parents feel as strongly as I do, going so far as inviting some of the infant and toddler room teachers to recent birthday parties!I write this review as a thank you to Kids Count and to help anybody who is anxiously looking for a great child care center for their kids. You can stop looking and enroll in Kids Count!
