3 Best Preschools in Newark, NJ

My daughter is 10 months old and she goes to Story Hall. I love the atmosphere because it is friendly and learning oriented. My daughter learned how to grab her bottle and every day kids and even babies learn new things from their teachers, who go above and beyond to give them the best. People there are responsible, professional, and kind. I really feel comfortable leaving my child there because I know that she is in good hands. The owner is awesome, she is always looking for new activities and ways to show the world to the kids. Last week alone they saw farm animals and dental assistants also visited the kids . I love this place!

My son has been enrolled with Story Hall Daycare for almost 2 years now and we have nothing but good things to say. They take excellent care of my child! He gets excited to see his teachers and friends every morning. Not only are they a good center for learning but they take care of the children’s health by offering great lunches and asking parents to only bring healthy snacks. They also offer an app that allows you to watch the camera in your child’s room throughout the day, we LOVE that feature. It made me feel better about leaving him at daycare for the first time.

My daughter currently is enrolled and I have to say she really enjoys it at Story Hall. I ask her everyday if she had fun and if she likes her teachers and she always says yes! She will be 3 in May and has been attending for 6 months now. Love the fact that they have camera access and a Gymnastics school that comes once a week if you want to sign up your little ones for. They provide lunch which is great!

My nephew just started First Steps and so far it has been a great experience. I went with my sister on the tour and the school looks amazing. Everything is new and set up to show you how much they just have available for the kids. Ms. Rosa helped set us up and explained so much to us that we felt so confident leaving there. Ms. Esther is my nephew's favorite person, she's so sweet and is just so great with him. My experience has been so good I will be enrolling my son once my wife goes back to work in the spring.

I have been a teacher in Newark for over 30 years, the staff here are filled with love and dedication to their students. Not only that,the director is child and family centered. She has developed a community of learning and learners. What a change since previous ownership.

My son started attending when they first opened and I’m happy with my decision. I was definitely nervous at first but they prove to me everyday that I made the right decision. You ladies are doing a wonderful job with these young children and you’re very much appreciated.
