My 3 daughters have been attending Futures Finest 2 Nursery and Preschool in Ramsey, NJ since they were each 10 weeks old, and we have been ecstatically happy with our experience. Not only is it run by the most caring staff, but also conveniently located right off of Rt. 17 South. Being a working mom, I was initially anxious about leaving my first child with "strangers" to care for them, but only after 2 days of my eldest daughter attending this daycare, I was left to feel at ease. The staff are nurturing and treat your children as if they were their own. I visited a number of daycare facilities in the area when I first looked. Some of them advertised glitzy programs intended to teach your children multiple foreign languages and other educational bells and whistles, but whenever I visited, they were overcrowded and I never saw the staff playing with the children; they just sat and watched them. Your child seemed like just a number at those other facilities. When I visited Futures Finest 2, I was won over when I was brought into the baby room and introduced to the staff, who were playing with the babies on the floor, and one of the staff hugged one of the kids and it truly seemed like they cared for them. All of the staff is very nurturing, and my children love going there and playing with the staff and friends. I can pick up my children at the end of the day and the staff can tell me exactly what they ate, how potty-training went, and any funny anecdotes or things my children said during the day. I now work in CT, and I still go out of my way to bring my children to this daycare because I love it so much. My eldest child is now in kindergarten and at the top of her class. I have to attribute this to the wonderful job they do at Futures Finest 2. I would without a doubt recommend this daycare and preschool to any parent looking for a nurturing place where your children will be taken care of and loved when you cant be around.

I have been bringing my daughter here for a few weeks, starting her at 12 weeks. Being a new mother, of course I had anxiety about leaving her with anyone other than myself when I had to return to work. That all quickly melted away from the moment I did a tour with Miss Anzhela. The staff has been amazing with her. When I walk in to drop her off, I am greeted warmly with a smile by Miss Marcia. We have a quick chat about where my daughter is growth-wise and what her needs are. I definitely have a wonderful feeling of comfort each time I drop my daughter off. In addition, when I pick her up, the whole staff knows who my daughter is and who I am. I like the close-knit, family vibe I get. If I need a quick little reassurance or check-in during the day, I just call or email to see how my munchkin is doing and it never seems to be a bother. Since attending, I can see a positive difference in my daughter and her interactions with others. She is still just a few months old, so many of her transitions and milestones are still to come. However, I feel safe and secure knowing my daughter is being cared for the way Id hope and expect her to be outside of my own care. From the day I toured the facility to now, I have not been disappointed! I get a full daily report of how her day went and what her temperaments were. It helps me know, as a new mom, where I need to keep an eye out for and what we can change at home to help my daughter reach her next step in development. I would (and have) certainly recommend this to anyone!!

My sons (3 years and 6 months) started attending Prodigy Academie in September when I returned to work from maternity leave. I am so happy we decided to enroll them here. It has been such a pleasant experience so far. My older son has learned so much since attending, and is actually excited to go to school every day (unlike at our old daycare facility, where he would cry and cling to me every morning at drop off). I also appreciate the feedback I receive regularly on his social and academic development. I also love knowing that my infant son is also in such good hands and loved while Im at work all day. Anzhela, the owner, goes out of her way to provide a safe, enriching, and fun environment for the children. They even had a Halloween Carnival the Friday night before Halloween--the kids had a blast!--as well as Thanksgiving Potluck Lunch. What fun!

Prodigy Academie was the first daycare experience for my children and we could not be happier with our selection! We shopped around to other daycares and no other facility comes close to what Prodigy provides for our children. Healthy meals are made fresh, communication is constant, teachers are trustworthy, loving and compassionate. The day is structured and enriches children with many learning experiences through smart board technology and student centered projects. This daycare provides a "school- like" atmosphere, which has enabled my children to be constantly learning and "doing". Additionally, they provide time for parents to get to know each other by hosting social events and even will stay open later for a parents night out! Both of our children start and end their day with smiles. This is how I know we made the right decision!

The team at Prodigy Academie is truly amazing! I drop my son off without hesitation, because I know he is under the best care possible. The amount of learning and love, no amount of money can buy. I look to the Prodigy Academie and staff as our second family and my sons second home. Being a full-time working mom is hard enough, but I know Ms. Katie cares and loves my son just as much as I do. She has been an incredible teacher and friend throughout this journey. The school director, Ms. Marcia has always been a great contact to reach out to if any questions arise- I never feel intimidated or judged. The new owner, Ms. Anzehla- she has transformed this school for the better. I am proud my son attends the Prodigy Academie, and I believe he has a beautiful and strong educational foundation that will lead him to success.

The Prodigy Academie is a great find! The teachers and staff are amazing, loving, patient people. They genuinely care about your child. The biggest testament is my childs smile in the morning when I drop off and in the evening when I pick up. They also put significant focus on your childs personal and educational development in a fun way. I had a horrible experience with another local daycare and debated changing to a nanny but couldnt been happier that I found this place. I went to every daycare in the immediate area within 48hrs to make the change in daycares. I immediately felt comfortable and confident that any of my concerns would be addressed and my childs care was always a primary focus. Strongly recommend, you wont be sorry.

Our son started at Prodigy about 2 months ago and we couldn’t be happier about the care he is receiving. In a short time, he has already shown tremendous growth through learning and daily activities, in addition to making new friends. Miss Anzhela, Miss Marcia and all of the teachers are so attentive, caring and truly treat each child as if they were their own. The center is welcoming and clean and the inclusion of healthy meals as part of tuition is another plus. It is very comforting to bring our son here each day and know that he is in such good hands. Overall, we are very happy with our decision to join Prodigy Academie and recommend it to anyone seeking top child care!
