“We are so happy we chose Emma for our son’s daycare. The management and staff are exceptional.
Our son is happy to be dropped off every day and goes off to class without as much of a whimper. To us, that says it all… Then the daily updates of pictures of him smiling with his friends, and making arts and crafts confirm how he is happy there.
Not to mention each month we see how he is mentally expanding, from counting his numbers to learning the alphabet.
It is such a comfort to know that he is safe and having fun for 9 hours during the day.”

“Emma is the best Day Care around. My son was going there for about 4 years full time and now he is going to Emma during a summer school break.
He always felt at home there, which always gave me peace of mind. They have a very clean and spacious facility, including well-equipped classrooms. Emma has a very good curriculum.
My son was very well prepared to move to elementary school. Their teachers have great credentials. Also very importantly, homemade fresh meals are provided. Highly recommended!!!”

“My two kids love going to Emma Daycare, most of the time :)))
Very good and caring teachers and nannies, and very patient too 🙂 my kids can be very strong-willed and stubborn sometimes and teachers can work through these challenges.
I highly recommend this daycare in Paramus to everybody.”
