Voted Best Day Care Center in Morris County by the Daily Record "Reader's Choice" 1997-2009. Our program follows the Child-Development Model. It is an activity program which takes place in several different areas, such as music, blocks, arts, science, large muscle, dramatic play, and the home area. The children learn by being actively involved in activities. The main objective of our program is to encourage and support the development of the individual, and to provide opportunities for self exploration and discovery. Since children are active and curious, it is our goal to provide learning experiences designed to stimulate the child's creative learning abilities. The overall development (cognitive, social, emotional, physical) of the child is considered and planned for through a variety of activities. It is our objective to learn the needs of the individuals in our program and to plan for the successful fulfillment of these needs. Positive development of the child's image of self is of prime importance in the program and is a priority in all aspects of program planning. Since pre-school has become almost a prerequisite to public school, we try to make the atmosphere one of warmth and love so that the experience our children have during the first years in school is a positive one.

As a staff member, I would definitely recommend Carousel. We work hard to make sure our days are well-structured and filled with games, activities, and enrichment programs that promote growth and development at every age. We are all knowledgable of early childhood education and child development and continue to take training courses to ensure we are up to date on the latest research and techniques. Moreover, we take special interest in each child, which helps makes Carousel not just a preschool, but a family.

My 2 children have attended Carousel since they were 4 months old and I can't imagine sending them anywhere else. The teachers provide such a caring, fun, and educational experience for the kids that they look forward to going to school every day. You can tell that the staff loves the children and are invested in their development. Thanks Carousel, you're the best!

Great pre-shool. Management and staff are very systematic/organized in their approach towards building fundamental aspects of life in kids. No pretentious bells and whistles. I would highly recommend this school.

As a behavior specialist working with Early Intervention, I had the opportunity to spend some time at Carousel and I wholeheartedly would recommend this pre-school. The teachers are invested in their kiddos and the extra time and thought Debbie (the owner) and teachers (I have worked with Jessica and Kerry - both fabulous!) puts into developing fun themes and educational games is obvious. The class sizes are small so each child has plenty of attention and assistance. Circle time consists of a themed story, adorable songs the kids can sing along to, and playing games with colors (which the kids are learning to identify verbally as well as with sign language!). It has been a pleasure to spend time at Carousel :)

I had to find a daycare for my daughter who was turning 12 weeks (3 months) before returning to work. I search and visited several daycares in the Morris county area and was not convinced with any. Then we went to Carausel of Learning and met with the director and the infant aides and I finally felt the relief.. I was pleased with the location, their aide to baby ratio, their clean room, their no shoes allowed in the baby play area policy, and most importantly I was happy to see that the aides have been working there for so long and I was able to see how great they are with the babies.. My daughter gets excited when she is dropped off and that gives both my husband and I peace of mind.. We absolutely recommend Carausel..

Best Daycare ever!! Great teacher to kid ratio. Caring staff that takes care of the kids like they were their own. My son has learned so much there. The place is also kept sparkling clean all the time. The Director/Owner is fabulous and has a fantastic program there. You really couldn't ask for a better place. I have never worried about my son being there.

Our son has been attending Carousel of Learning since he was 6 weeks old. He will be turning two in just a few days. He is so happy at Carousel of Learning. He loves his teachers and so do we. The staff at Carousel of Learning is friendly, caring and loving. They go out of their way to make each child feel special, safe and loved. We could not ask for a better daycare.

My daughter couldn't be happier than she is at Carousel. The atmosphere is warm and nurturing while providing an excellent age appropriate education. We are constantly amazed at how much our child is learning and how much she looks forward to going school. I would recommend Carousel to any parent who wants or needs to enroll their child in a pre-school/daycare.

My daughter has had a really nice experience at Carousel of Learning. She truly gets excited that she is going to "school" each day - aside from the first week or two, which was an adjustment peiod, she has never cried at drop off. When I drop her off, I find the staff to be very friendly and caring. Her teacher is truly excellent - exactly the person I would chose to care for my child. My little girl has learned so much in the way of colors, numbers, songs, vocabulary, social skills, emotion words, and so on. The playground is really great and unique. They have some very cute playstructures we've never seen at any of the parks. On days when the weather is nice, the kids are outside lots - which I really appreciate. It is easy to recommend Carousel !

I have two children in Carousel. I feel completely comfortable with my children here and know that they are safe and well cared for. I would never plan to leave Carousel because I love the staff so much. They keep me well informed and always share any concerns they have with me. My oldest child never wants to leave when it is time to go home. I understand that being a parent it is hard to leave your child at daycare, but with Carousel I do not feel that way. I would recommend Carousel to anyone that wants an atmosphere that us safe and fun.

I've had my daughter at Carousel since she was 12 weeks old. I've always been happy with her care - we considered over 13 daycares in multiple towns before we chose this one - both my husband and I were comfortable as soon as we stepped through the door and it reminded me very much of the preschool I had attended as a child! My daughter always comes home having learned something new and she LOVES going to school in the morning. The teachers are caring and attentive, and they always kept me informed of what she had done during the day. Carousel almost never closes and the owner is warm and friendly. You couldn't ask for a better place to trust in the care of your kids!

Highly recommend Carousel. Our child wasn't successful in the large daycare environment, so we chose Carousel for their low teacher/child ratios, low teacher turnover, special programs (computers, spanish, sign language, etc) and personalized caring environment. The experience worked out great that both kids go to Carousel. They are truly an extension of our family.

I would highly reccomend Carousel to anyone looking for a daycare/preschool. My children have both gone there since they were babies, and they both loved it. Sometimes I can't get my three year old to leave because she is so engaged that she wants to stay. The staff there is wonderful and Debbie makes me feel confident that my children are getting the best care possible. The programs are great and it has a very nurturing atmosphere.

I sent both of my children to this school. I love all of the extra activities they offer such as Big Jeff concerts, Computer Tots, and Spanish Sailors. I also like that they keep the kids engaged with activities and don't just stick them in front of a television.

When I needed to find a school to put my then 18 month old in, ASAP, they were there for me and beyond accommodating. He has some attention and behavioral issues, and they work with him and continue to have patience and above all kindness and love. He is now 5 and "graduating" in June and ready for kindergarten. He is amazing with sign language thanks to Carousel, and even teaches it to me. He is always singing all the songs he learns, and telling us about exercises, and topics and subjects they cover each week. It is a perfect place to start your kids out in their journey of education, friendships and overall social interaction.

What a wonderful Daycare this is! The teachers, programs & activities are exceptional. My children have been attending since 3 months old- and they are all the better for it - thanks to Debbie and her wonderful staff! They have so much fun, and both my daughter and son look forward to each school day. Its wonderfully small and each child gets the attention and love they need throughout the day. When I talk about this daycare to friends who have kids in other schools- there is just no comparison. My kids get exceptional care.
