Adventures in Learning II (50 Harrison St.) — Local services in Hoboken

My toddler attended this facility at beginning of 2016. At first we were happy. The classes had big windows and the room always looked clean and structured.

One fine day, my child suffered a mishap. Another child DEEP scratched him right across the face from the temple right down to the lip. The SCAR was so wide and bloody that it took weeks to recover. Ofcourse my child was crying and there were 3 teachers in the room. None of them bothered to call us, make a incident report, apply cream or soothe the child. They absolutely did not care.

When i reported this to the director (who also owns the place), she tried to make excuses instead of disciplining the teachers.

Needless to say, I pulled my child out.

Few other things that make this daycare not suitable: They do not have any outdoor playing area. They do take the children out in the parking lot for a stroll.. but that's about it. 10 mins of stroll in 9 horus. Other daycares in the vicinity actually take the trouble to take the kids out to play in nearby parks.

The only time teachers engage in activities with students is when parents are picking up and dropping off, else kids are ignored. (if you are actual;u considering this place, ask them to show you a video recording for a random date and watch it from start to finish). Teachers most of the time are busy cleaning the place so that parents are impressed instead of actually teaching kids something.

They demand two months of notice and deposit equivalent to one month's fee. Most other day cares in the area ask for no or little deposit. They do not impost tariffs such as two months notice. So incase you startout at this place and a week down you realize that your child is not warming up, you still have to stick around for another two months. If these folks were confident of their services, they would not ask for any kind of contract or deposit.

They are on the outskirts of hoboken. Two blocks up and you touch palisades where daycare are...

Adventures in Learning has been an absolute lifeline for my family. As a single mom, finding a daycare that I could trust completely was incredibly important to me, and Adventures in Learning II has exceeded all my expectations.

From day one, the warmth and compassion of the staff at Adventures in Learning II made both my child and me feel welcome and valued. The teachers are not just caregivers; they are true partners in my child's development, providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where my child has flourished.

The educational programs are outstanding, filled with diverse activities that inspire creativity and a love for learning. My child comes home every day with new stories, skills, and an infectious enthusiasm for what they have learned. The social skills and friendships my child has developed here are invaluable.

What sets Adventures in Learning II apart is the unwavering support and understanding they have shown to me as a single mom. They have been flexible, accommodating, and incredibly supportive, always going the extra mile to ensure that my child’s needs are met and that I feel supported as a parent. Their open communication, regular updates, and genuine care have given me immense peace of mind, knowing my child is in such capable and loving hands.

I truly don't know how I would have managed without the incredible team at Adventures in Learning II. They have made such a positive impact on our lives, and I am deeply grateful for the nurturing, enriching environment they provide every day. Thank you, Adventures in Learning II, for being our second family and for helping my child...

Finding childcare is a scary thing, especially as a new parent. I have to say though, we could not have made a better choice than AIL2. The teachers are kind, loving, and so attentive the staff is amazing and all know my son by name regardless of what class they work in.

We started our son there at 10 weeks and he has now been there for a year and a half. I can't say enough great things. You can tell the staff really cares about the kids and he is so happy to be there and really loves his teachers. They do languages, yoga, music and so many extras with the kids that other schools don't. And the teacher to child ratio is amazing. They also have very low turn over I staff. Even on days when they had 8 babies in the infant room there would be 4 teachers. You don't see that anywhere else! miss Jojo and Lexi could not adore the babies more and miss Miriam and her team are great with the toddlers. He gets so excited to see them each day. And it's amazing to see how much my son has learned there from all of them, from sharing to motor skills and word development.

I'm actually sad to say that we are moving soon, and AIL set the bar high for other daycares for us. We have been looking for a new daycare for our son in our new town, but after being at AIL, none compare. For example, I walked in early one day a few months ago and saw the girls teaching my son to walk and all cheering and clapping for him to take solo steps and genuinely so excited for him. You just can't compare to them!! AIL2 is...
