At Early Years, our philosophy is based on the theory that children learn through active involvement with their environment. Children are constantly adding pieces of information to that which they already know, thereby generating new understandings of the world around them. By providing an enriched and stimulating environment filled with child-initiated, child-directed learning experiences, we offer children the opportunity to learn and grow in skills necessary in becoming autonomous, productive individuals. Development is cyclical; therefore, we are sensitive to all of the areas of development. Young children view the world concretely, and as they mature in age, their views mature, also. Developing physical skills lay the foundation for the cognitive abilities needed for reading, writing and arithmetic. By observing how adults and older children use language, young children gradually expand their vocabularies. Environments become richer as they learn to understand others and express their ideas more effectively. As children abilities and self-confidence develop, they become increasingly capable of learning from their mistakes. They also begin to seize the initiative to explore and to take risks. When independence is fostered and they are encouraged to make choices more and more for themselves, they more willingly they will attempt new and increasingly challenging tasks. Independence is an outgrowth of trust; we maintain small classes and low child-teacher ratios.

We are extremely pleased with Early Years. Our three year old daughter absolutely love's her teacher Mrs. Janet and the rest of the staff there. We've been pleased with her development socially and academically. The facility is very clean and safe.

It takes my daughter a long time to warm up to people. But not the Early Years! She instantly felt relaxed and comfortable in her new school. She absolutely loves her teacher, Miss Stephanie, as well as the other staff members. I can see a huge development in my daughters letter writing. She comes home and wants to practice her letters and play school. I highly recommend this school and will truly miss it next year when my daughter goes to Kindergarten. The school is very spacious and clean. I like how all the kids eat together in the cafeteria. Early Years is a true gem!!!!

As the husband of a working mother, daycare/preschools were a new thing to me. Throughout the process we visited many schools and considered many alternatives. In the end, Early Years was hands down the best option from both a convenience due to their tremendous flexibility and concept of keeping both our daughters being safe & secure with added benefit of learning. I always feel at peace when dropping my daughters off before work. Their new location is incredible and definitely worth the visit to evaluate.

I have two sons, my younger one is still attending Early Years and older one is a graduate. I have always felt very comfortable entrusting my kids to Early Years and loved the motherly attitude of the teachers and the staff. My kids learned a lot at school and were always eager to go back. Recently they moved to Cooper Road in Denville, next to Lakeview Elementary. Wonderful facility. Highly recommend it anyone looking for a cozy, lovely preschool and daycare!

Fantastic school!!! I really could not say enough positive things about Early Years. Each and every staff member is very kind, gentle, and outright amazing. This is my sons second year here and I am sad that he is going to Kindergarten in the Fall (for more reasons then one!). The school is extremely clean and has TONS of space. I have seen extreme improvements in all levels of my sons education. I would and will recommend this school to anyone!

Early years was the only local preschool that fit our needs! It has a home-away-from-home feel and is always clean! Both my girls were more than prepared for kindergarten, but more importantly, felt safe and loved by ALL the staff. The school's location right off route 10 and close to route 46 made drop off easy! Also, the director, Hilda, is very flexible with all of your family's needs. Early years is the best! Trish S.

My husband and I visited all the local day care schools before we decided for our daughter to attend Early Years. This turns out to be one of the most wise decisions we made in 2014.



At Early Years, the staff is very nurturing and they truly care about your child. Especially, Miss Janet is an excellent educator ( we enjoy reading her regular articles while our daughter enjoys all the handcrafts); Miss Amanda is very much patient, detail- oriented and knows the best of how to communicate to different children. Miss Amanda usually gives me a brief verbal summary of the day when I pick up my daughter so I know immediately how my daughter spent her day and if anything is in need.



Now our 3 1/2 year old daughter has been with Early Years for almost one year. She made her best friend there, learnt a great deal ( including story-telling ), and deeply enjoys attending schools.



At the school, they don't use badges for entry. School staff would let you in only if she knows your child is with them. So it's very safe.

Our family loves Early Years! My almost 5 year old son and 2 1/2 year old daughter have been attending the school for a year now and truly enjoy going to school. The school is very well-organized with extremely supportive and caring staff that my husband and I feel extremely comfortable leaving our children in their care every day and know that they are also learning a great deal as well!! We highly recommend Early Years!!

I strongly recommend Early Years Child Care Center. The staff there is very nurturing and genuinely cares about each individual child. I have such comfort in leaving my toddler in their care. I feel comfortable calling them or just dropping by and have built a strong rapport with the staff. My daughter runs into the arms of her teachers when I drop her off and sometimes wants to stay a little longer at pick up. She has developed her vocabulary tremendously and comes home after learning something new on a daily basis. When I leave my daughter at Early Years, I feel like I’m leaving her with family.

Early Years Child Care's teachers and staff are nurturing, attentive, and adored by the children. Both of my daughters were there. They loved it! Even better, both girls were socially and academically prepared for kindergarten.



I highly recommend Early Years Child Care Center.

We love Early Years! I have never felt so comfortable leaving my daughter somewhere, right from the very first day! The staff have always been so caring and loving. Most are parents themselves, so you know your child is being taken care of by people who truly love children. I highly recommend Early Years!

I sent my 3 daughters to Early Years Child Care Center and eventually for their after care as well. It is a wonderful place and the staff cares about the children like they are a part of their family. We worked together on potty training and behavioral strategies so that way we were all on the same page. My kids remember everything they learned and all the fun trips they went on! Thank you Hilda and staff!

We currently send both our 4 year-old and 2 year-old to Early Years and could not feel more confident that our children are in great hands. The director and teachers are extremely caring, patient, and welcoming. The facilities are very clean and well taken care of, and the kids are exposed to a variety of entertaining and educational subjects. Both our children love all the teachers, and we feel confident that our 4 year-old will be more than prepared for kindergarten next year. I highly recommend Early Years to anyone looking for anything from after-school care to full time childcare.

Thank goodness we found this daycare!!! What a warm, nurturing, creative environment! The owners and their staff treated my children like family from the moment they walked in the door. My son and daughter attended 2 local daycares prior to this one and despite their high ratings, we were sorely disappointed by them. At Early Years our children's individuality was celebrated, their creativity was fostered, their social skills were enhanced, and they were taught about responsibility and accountability. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe, happy, educational environment for their child.

Early Years is THE place for childcare and aftercare in Denville. My child has been there for two years and loves it. Even when I come pick him up, he wants to stay and play. The caregivers and teachers are just incredible with every type of child. And the staff includes professionals who have been there for years. The tuition is extremely fair, and the owners are hands-on and wonderful. They also offer a summer camp. The staff becomes very close with the kids, which is reflected each time I pick up my child. Your child will be happy, and your mind will be at ease, with Early Years.

I have been extremely happy and satisfied with my experience at Early Years. Hilda is amazing, she truly cares about each & every child, and makes sure all her classrooms are running smoothly. The cost of tuition is very reasonable compared to other childcare programs, and they even bus kids to/from the elementary school right from the center. I feel very fortunate to have found such an awesome place for my child !

As a first time Mom returning to work part-time, I needed a day care center that was first and foremost clean. I found Early Years because it's located inside my church (but not affiliated with the church) and on my route to work. After my first meeting with the Director (Hilda), I knew this was the place for our daughter. I love the weekly schedules, the take-home review of the day, the attention my daughter receives. Although I do not have any other daycare to compare it to, I would recommend Early Years to anyone. It's met all of my concerns and my daughter's needs. She loves going there, that in itself speaks volums. A big thank you to the staff at Early Years...you rock!

My children have been at Early Years for almost 2 years. I looked at every daycare in Denville, Rockaway and Mtn. Lakes. Early Years has by far the best teachers and staff. They are caring and professional and go above and beyond for all kids attending their school. I have experienced first hand on several occasions. It is a SAFE, CLEAN school. I would recommend this school to anyone hands down. When I was looking for a daycare a good friend of mine with 6 kids told me you need to love the teachers and staff and don't let yourself be sold on the bells and whistles (playground, following the Jones's, etc.) Glad I listened. We are SO happy with Early Years. Thank you. Dawn
