Moorestown Children's School

Posted: March 29, 2017

My son has been going to this school since he was 2 1/2. Hes going on 5 now. My son was making little progress at home since his brother is limited in verbal skills with autism. So i knew I needed to immerse him amongst peers developing as he was.

I sought this school out even though its half hour away. I did not want him attending a sterile and overly structured school like goddard. This was my personal decision for him. Best choice I made.

They helped him potty train in ways I couldn't at home. They helped him learn to read, count, figure time and dates. He has learned and come such a long way.

Its on a farm so the kids have endless room to run. They bring the kids out as much as possible, even get to play in snowsuits in winter. So much for them to do and learn. Owner, Sue, is so kind and helpful and has worked with me on so much with accommodating him.

He will begin Kindergarten in our district in the fall. That will be 3 years he was there. He will be far ahead of kids academically once he begins. He even learned Mandarin at the school.

Best decision we made sending him here. The ride driving him can be a lot at times with two working parents, but its far worth it!

Moorestown Children's School provides a great environment for any child. My daughter has special needs and they provide her opportunities to learn at her own pace and in her own way. Unlike many daycares, MCS allows children a lot of flexibility to learn through play. MCS staff encourage a child's individual interests in addition to providing organized instruction and activities. MCS embraced my daughter when her special needs led three other daycares to not allow her to attend. MCS staff have a lot of experience working with special needs and my daughter has thrived there for now for three years. My daughter has made many friends and looks forward to going to MCS each day. In addition to their great care MCS is located on a small farm, which means they have a very large and open playground with lots of options for outside play year round. The farm also has several animals that the children can interact with (most recently baby goats in a small pen). Overall I can't think of a better place for children to learn and grow in their own individual ways.

My stepdaughter attends MCS and absolutely loves it! She tells us all about the animals she sees and looks forward to seeing her friends. I can tell the staff truly cares about her. It is so nice to know she is in a safe happy environment.

This school is horrible, the things I have witnessed are disturbing. They have numerous citations from the State of NJ Office of Licensing, please call the State to get the list about this or any daycare before bringing your child there.

At MCS, the teachers are responsive, methodical, and most importantly, caring. A special note, if you speak a language other than English at home, no worries. The teachers are very understanding, considerate, and patient, as they were in the case of our son. Three years ago, we had to move our son to MCS from a cookie-cutter chain place. What a refreshing difference it made! We witnessed with marvel that each day our son became happier and more confident. In a very short period of time, he turned into a completely different child! The teachers and children embraced him with care, patience, and friendship. MCS had practically become a second family for our son. Suffice it to say that a lot of times he couldn't wait to leave us in the morning to go there, and didn't want to come home at the end of the day. Sadly our family had to relocate recently. It was considered a loss by us, that our son couldn't continue to go to MCS. We are forever grateful that MCS was such a positive and nurturing part of our son's life. The time he spent with MCS will always remain the best part of our memories. THANK YOU MCS!

I looked at 20+ daycares, including in-home/private, schools & centers. MCS was the only one where I felt comfortable enough to send my then 4-month-old son. The school is homey, relaxed, and encourages creativity, individuality, and outdoor activity. My son (now almost 2) is absolutely thriving there. He loves going to school, gets tons of outdoor time and physical activity, and has learned a lot. Most importantly, he is well taken care of and is really loved by his teachers and friends. I can't imagine sending him anywhere else.

This school certainly isn't for everyone. There is grass outside (the playground must 1.5 acres fenced) & with grass comes mud, dirt, & messy clothes Inside things do not look like a typical childcare center. Projects are ongoing and often left to dry/come back to, on a table. This might be an issue for a smaller center, but for them if one table is being used for art, there are others available for work jobs, lunch, etc I watched teachers sanitize everything after the children had cleaned up, but the teachers didn't do all the cleaning up for the children. Children washed their hands before & after every transition (the teachers even made up a song: "fronts and backs and in betweens...", to ensure t their hands were washed for 20 seconds+) If you want your child to be treated like an individual with needs, feelings, & wants, be exposed to an EXCELLENT curriculum that introduces things like Division, Multiplication, Subtraction, and Addition in Pre-K, has an excellent record of getting kids reading, works with your child's interest to create a curriculum for them. If you want a place where you know they will feel loved, cherished, &safe, this is the place for you.

I found this school while looking for something affordable in town. Yes this school was affordable but I quickly learned why. In the short time my daughter was there , there seemed to be a revolving door of teachers and there was not enough teachers to handle the children there. The education of the children was poor. I was highly disappointed because they made the school sound so quaint through the website, mailing and meetings. Once I realized how the school was really run, I removed my child as quickly as possible and moved her to a better program in the next town over.
