Bobbie's Learning Center

"My daughter has been at Bobbies since May and we couldnt be happier. Bobbie treats the kids like they are her own and you can tell how much they love her. My daughter had two tough life transitions (moving to a new daycare and welcoming a new sibling) and Bobbie and her team helped to ensure she was happy and thriving the whole time. The daycare center is adorable and there is nothing cuter than seeing the kids playing in the back at pickup. I love their private, shaded outdoor space. A special and surprise perk is that the library is directly across the parking lot. That means more books for me and after school "fishy" visits with my daughters. In the time my daughter has been at Bobbies, she has started talking exponentially more, loves to count and LOVES her ABCs. That is in addition to the art she is always bringing home and the new songs and dances she is always surprising us with. While all of the above is very important to us, I would be remiss to not mention the best part of Bobbies and that is how happy being there makes our daughter. She has fun, she loves playing with her friends, and she's always flushed with excitement at the end of the day. My family would highly recommend Bobbies to you and your family"

"This was the saddest daycare I ever walked into. Not a toy in sight. The pictures above are NOT the daycare. A grim backyard to play in. The first words on our tour from Bobbie was “we can’t find any good staff to work here.” No clear answer of how many people worked there. How many children attended. Out of complete a misunderstanding we paid the deposit as to hold a place if we could not find another placement. We we were ASSURED the $900 fee could be refunded but the $150 reee would not. We agreed. Now we are being told that our misunderstanding of deposit/registration(which was encouraged by Bobbie herself) will not be refunded. Please find a safer and happier place for your child. Once we walked into our new daycare the light and happiness were immediately felt. Bobbies learning center is basically signing up to have your children play in a parking lot. See for yourself And to continue the convenient “misunderstanding” of the contract, which is written on one asterisk of the 15 page contract but not any other page was CLEARLY not explained when we put a deposit down 11 months before entering. We spoke clearly on our tour of needing to find a placement for our daughter at 12 months but would be willing to put a deposit a place holder as daycare is hard to find, as they could not provide daycare until 18 months. We were assured this would not be an issue but the refund of registration fee would not. That is what we agreed to. I would never have forfeited $900 while continuing to look for other daycare. When we were able to secure with 8 months notice we were told that what we were told was an absolute lie. Your attempts at working on communication has still put our family out greatly. With 8 months to secure a replacement. That was maybe purposely done or maybe a misunderstanding, regardless you gave done nothing to rectify the situation. Beware parents. Ask specific questions and hold them to answers about their staff and how many children are in each group. I regret tremendously ignoring my immediate red flags about this place."

"Our youngest has been part of the Bobbie family for nearly 2 years. Bobbie and the team she employs are exceptional. You will not find a group of individuals that are more nurturing, caring and patient. They truly love our child like he is their own yet respect our opinions as parents. He's surrounded by love, fed delicious food, and comes home smiling and singing songs we never even knew he had learned. I cannot recommend Bobbies highly enough."

"Our five year-old daughter has been with Bobbie since she was a year and a half. Before she was speaking in sentences, she would say each morning as we were preparing to leave, “BOBBIE!” I have never had a single morning where my daughter felt hesitant to go to Bobbie’s, in fact she urges us to get out the door as quickly as possible! Bobbie’s warmth and love is visceral! My daughter is met with a warm smile and embrace every morning as well as a hug at the end of the day. At the end of the day, our children’s emotional state and overall attitude about going to daycare speaks volumes. When my child is begging me to take her to Bobbie’s, that sends a message. When she is unable to go for whatever reason-illness, doctor’s appointment, etc. and she is devastated-that’s big. Bobbie came highly recommended to us from a family who relocated to the west coast and whose three children all were within her care. This was the absolute best recommendation to a family relocating from Brooklyn who had only known life with a nanny. Bobbie has been none thing less than a source of love and energy to my daughter! She even gives my tow older soma, who were never formerly in her care, so much attention when they come to visit, that they often ask me, “were we here with Bobbie and just don’t remember?” She is an amazing caregiver! I cannot emphasize how much she loves all the ch I’ll dawn for whom she cares for. There is a reason she has been a permanent fixture in South Orange for over a decade!"

"For the past two and a half years, our son (and our family) have been privileged to have Bobbie and her staff by our side. Making a decision on the right place to send your child can be a difficult one, but we are grateful to have found Bobbie. Our son started at her daycare and now attends Bobbie's Learning Center Full Time. In addition to receiving a new learning experience every day we know how much he is cared for and loved! Bobbie pours her heart and sole into what she does and we see it first hand everyday. Thank you Bobbie & the rest of the staff!"
