Big Hugs Child Care & Development 255 Old New Brunswick Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854

"Do not send you kids to this place. My kids are big now and still remember this place as the worst daycare ever. My infant baby was screaming and refused to go inside every time we dropped him off so we knew there was something wrong ! Once I transferred him to another daycare, he loved it so much."

"My child has been going to both Big Hugs locations since the age of two years old. Both of my children still attend Big Hugs , when the public school is closed even during the summer break. I really appreciate the entire Big Hugs staff as a working mother it can be come difficult juggling my schedule and the staff always works with me. My kids are always well taken care of."

"My son has been at Big Hugs since he was an infant. I knew once I walked in and took the tour with the staff that this was the place for him. I have never had any issues and as a first time dad, they have helped me assure my son was doing well. My son is now a toddler and has learned so much due to their program being great and a lot of learning materials. Betty and Sabah are very professional and friendly, most of all very accommodating to special requests. I would recommend this daycare to anyone!"

"My son was in Big Hugs for about a year and we both loved every moment of it. Sam Pappas is an absolutely lovely woman and she employs women who are the best in their field. I've read some of these other reviews here and I challenge them. Sam's staff helped me to recognize some social deficiencies with my son and guided me towards getting him the help he needed in the Township school system - which is the ONLY reason my son stopped attending Big Hugs. I have referred co-workers, strangers and everyone in between to this facility!"

"We have been with Big Hugs for over 10 years. Our son went in as a toddler, went through preschool, learning new things every day, until he went to Kindergarten. They have programs that come in and teach them computers (he was 3 and learned how to work the computer & digital camera before they were so popular!), gymnastics, always different field trips to sign up for, he absolutely loved it. So when our daughter was born, there was no question where we were sending her! Our daughter is currently enrolled, she started in the infant room and now is in the preschool room. The teachers actually teach, which is a lot more than they do at other daycare's. The kids learn what school will be like at a young age, so they are ready when they enter Kindergarten. They even potty train! They offer a food program that is wonderful, so all we have to do is drop our daughter off and pick her up, and we know what she did all day, because they send her home with a detailed report. They have a great playground and bring the kids outside almost everyday, weather permitting of course. The teachers always treat the children as if they are their own and that is exactly what you want in a daycare. You want to feel comfortable and at ease and Big Hugs does just that, we love all of the people there. Sam is very particular about the people she hires and is very open with all of the parents. She is a parent herself and knows what all of us are going through when we leave our children there. We definitely recommend Big Hugs!"
