Kids Count Child Center is the best place around! They really care about the kids and treat them all as if they are their own.

Kids count daycare is amazing. They have a great preschool and pre k program. The staff are great with the children.

When looking for a preschool for my two children, I toured several different places in Old Bridge, Marlboro, South River and Manalapan.



As a working mother, I was looking for a place that I could feel good about, knowing that when they left my side, their emotional needs would still be met. At many of the corporate locations I visited, although very fancy and offered many programs, I didn't feel that my kid's emotional needs were going to be met. Specifically, as they were a little over a year apart, they would be in different rooms. A question I always asked was: What if my kids are sad and want to see each other since they’ve spent the last three years with only each other? Every corporate center I visited said not to worry, that they would get over their sadness and that it was against the rules to let them go into each other's classrooms. This did not make me feel warm and fuzzy. However, upon my first tour of Kid's Count with Miss Casey, I asked her the same question. Her response was that the teachers would do everything they could to make the kids feel better; however, there was absolutely no problem with letting them go into each other's room to see a reassuring face or "give each other a big hug." I was already impressed after I toured the classrooms and met the teachers, but Miss Casey's words showed me that this center would care for my kids MORE than corporate rules, and this was what ultimately helped me make my decision to send my kids there.



Nevertheless, as a teacher, my other main concern was the level of education my children would be receiving. My son was entering preschool and my daughter Pre-K, neither having spent any time in school. Luckily, Kids Count educational program is competitive, sophisticated, and aligned with the National Common Core Standards. Two years later, my daughter will be graduating from Kindergarten on a second grade reading level, having over 230 sight words memorized, but more importantly, being able to pick up a book and read it to her little brother as she uses the reading skills Miss Shari taught her (to sound out more difficult words, and then rereading the sentence for meaning and understanding)! She is also able to add (without using her fingers) and subtract as well as tell time. This is just some of the exceptional education she received in Kindergarten. Similarly, at the end of his Pre-K year, my son has also learned sight words, how to identify word families, simple math and science as well as how to tell time. Equally important to me, as a sometimes rambunctious boy he has started learning how to think before he makes choices as well as how to be polite and a good sharer.



Overall, words cannot express how grateful I am to the staff at Kids Count for providing my family with great experiences, both educational and emotional, over the past two years. For those of you looking for an infant or toddler room, although my children did not attend these, many of the kids who graduated with my daughter have been in Kids Count since they were just months old, and I know their parents feel as strongly as I do, going so far as inviting some of the infant and toddler room teachers to recent birthday parties!



I write this review as a thank you to Kids Count and to help anybody who is anxiously looking for a great child care center for their kids. You can stop looking and enroll in Kids Count!

Kids Count is a warm, caring and friendly school. The staff goes out of their way for their children. People are amazed how much my toddler knows for his age. As a working mom of it's tough to leave him everyday, but at least I know he's in great hands.

I would like to Highly Recommend Kids Count in Old Bridge as an Excellent day care in which all my three children are attending. My two boys joined Kids Count Family in 2005 when we moved to NJ and they were 2 and 3 years old where they started the preschool program followed by full day kindergarten and excelled right into elementary school in reading,writing and social skills,so when my daughter joined our family she also started Kids Count as I wanted her to have the same excellent education as my two boys have had. My boys still attend Kids Count on days off from school and during the Summer camp program where they Enjoy all activities and trips very much. As a parent I am so Grateful and Happy for such a Educated and Loving center where all my children are happy and safe Always. I also have made many close friends with so many of the parents from our children attending Kids Count together,I am truly Blessed. Regards to all Denise F.
