The Anchored School

"Our son started here two years ago, and our 4.5-month-old daughter just joined. We're absolutely thrilled with our choice. This place feels like a close-knit community, and our son has made some wonderful friends. The staff members are incredibly caring – they know every kid by name. The teachers are so dedicated and they make learning a lot of fun for the kids. We couldn't be happier!"

"Ms Jones, I was hoping you perceive my review as a more constructive way trying to improve the business flaws instead of looking at it as an accusation. I'm not attacking your business so please don't take this personal. My child went to Tiny Turtles Academy in Basking Ridge. Ms Kajal Bhatia at the front desk doesn't respect people's privacy which is very important working in such an environment. My 20 months old son had scratched another kid and Ms Kajal emailed me the injured kid's picture. When I asked the name of the child she tells me she can't disclose that but she could send me the picture! Another incident that I had with her, when we just enrolled at Tiny Turtles, she was supposed to email me the credit card form for the tuition payment and instead she sent me another parent full credit card information. Tiny turtle may be a good place for after care, older kids, who would be able to communicate and talk. However, I do not suggest it for infants and toddlers. They do not change the kid's diapers regularly on a need basis. My kid always had diaper rashes that would improve over the weekend and would get worse on weekdays."

"Tiny Turtle Academy is the only preschool I trust sending two of my younger children to during this pandemic. The staffs and teachers at the school are professional, warm, caring and loving . My oldest one graduated from Tiny Turtle as well. So we have experienced many teachers for age 1.5 and above. All of them were great with children and teaching. The staffs are also exceptional and always willing to go extra miles to help. Ms. Kajal is extremely patient with billing and other administrative questions. I had a car accident once at the school parking lot and she helped look for and find the video clip, which was a huge help. Mrs. Hanna greets the children every morning and helped me in numerous occasions to magically stop the children from crying and have them follow her into school. Our family has to move soon and we will miss the school, staff and teachers dearly as they have been like a family to us."

"All 3 of my children have attended Tiny Turtle Academy since they were infants. I have nothing but great things to say about this facility. On top of being very well cared for, they have learned so much! As a speech therapist, I am impressed by their ingenuity and the way they approach academics. All the staff has taken very great care of my children, has had great communication with me, and has shown great creativity in their lessons. Ms. Jones, the director is very easy to talk to and truly cares about the students. Mrs. K greets my children every day with a huge smile and kind words and is truly kind, caring, and compassionate. Ms. Hannah also greets my children everyday and takes care of them like they are her own. All of the teachers (Ms. Karen, Ms. Sandie, Mrs. Schwartz, Miss Maria, etc.) have been superior and I wouldn't send my children anyplace different! We have had and continue to have great experiences at Tiny Turtle."

"One of my kids is currently attending and one attended till it was time to start public school. Both of them enjoyed their time at the school and never complained. Both of them loved their teachers. I have had nothing but a great experience with this preschool. Dealing with the teachers and the administrators has always been easy. What I also like about the school is that procedures and guidelines for how to handle situations are clearly laid out and that everyone follows them. There is order and structure in the running of the school but it's done is a way that doesn't affect the kids ability to have fun and enjoy all that the school offers. I would also like to point out that their is a strong emphasis on cleanliness at the school. Both the facilities and the kids. The classrooms are cleaned daily. Unlike other daycare/preschools that I've visited I have never seen a kid with a runny nose. In conclusion I'd say that the school is a great place to send your kids."
