  5/5 -- Truly Exceptional Early Education Experience<br><br>My son attended Children's Studio in Rutherford from 18 months and now he is in kindergarten, and it has been one of the best decisions we ever made as parents. This is an authentic school -- you can feel it the moment you walk in. The classrooms are filled with natural materials, calm colors, and an atmosphere that encourages curiosity, independence, and genuine joy in learning.<br><br>What I truly appreciate is their individual approach to each child's development -- focusing not only on academic and motor skills, but also on emotional growth and intellectual curiosity. The teachers gently guide children toward understanding discipline and responsibility in a respectful and encouraging way, which helps them build strong confidence and empathy.<br><br>All the teachers were -- and continue to be -- incredibly professional, caring, and dedicated. We would like to especially thank Ms. Priscilla, Ms. Liza, Ms. Kathy, Ms. Yui, Ms.

  Excellent staff and great environment. I wouldn't feel comfortable bringing my son anywhere else. He learns so much every day and really loves all his teachers. Highly Recommend

  This school is truly special, and I'm not sure where to begin on why. Every Wednesday they have cooking class where my two year is chopping apples (plastic knife of course), mixing, and tasting her creation. On Fridays there is live music from Guitar Bob. Everyday the children are learning in this open classroom filled with play/creative stations where the child leads where they want to play. It's about discovery. In my 3 year old's pre school class, she is learning about the life cycle of a monarch butterfly. From egg to butterfly, the children are raising the caterpillars by feeding them milkweed that they picked from the school garden and taking note everyday of the changes. And my children's art projects are amazing keepers! I highly recommend giving your child this one of a kind experience.

  Hate to write a detailed review as it means reliving the experience. My son was not safe in Ms. Maria's class. He had injuries from other children on several occasions. One reason was due to the fact they were trying to help a problematic child reform or improve in the class my son was in. I was only told this after I paid and registered. So convenient. The final straw was when I picked my son up at the end of the day and I couldn't stop looking at his face. It was bruised, scratched and bright red on one side, including the eyelid. Ms. Maria said it was because I dress him so warm. I give him a hoody and a jacket in winter, yes, but I assume he removes them during class and puts them back on before we go out in the cold. Afterall, I had to be extra careful because he caught a nasty virus there where his fever was 106 for 2 days and 104.5 the other 2. (The older children go upstairs in the nursery area where I've seen diapers being changed and just not a very clean environment). So, wh
