Zadie's Nurturing Den

About Us - Parent Testimonials

	"As a teacher I recognize quality education when I see it. The jumpstart on education that my children received at Zadie's Nurturing Den is astonishing. My daughter, now attending a public elementary school, has surpassed her classmates due entirely to the early education she received at Zadie's. However, that pales in comparison to the amount of love my daughter received on a daily basis from every member of the staff. The daily nurturing and wonderful care she received has made her the confidant, out-going six year old that she is today. It is no surprise that my son is currently enrolled at Zadie's and receiving the same care and attention that my daughter received. The staff has become an extension of our own family. We will be eternally grateful for what they have done for our children."
	"We have been ZND parents since November 2004 and could not be more pleased to be a part of the ZND family. Prior to the birth our son, we visited and evaluated several child care facilities in the Essex/Union County area but we were less than satisfied with most of them. Fortunately, a college friend, who had been a Zadies' parent, strongly suggested that we visit Zadie's before making a final decision. We took that advice and quickly made an appointment and were impressed from the very beginning. The layout of the facility, the warm and inviting nature of the caregivers and the pleasant nature of the children immediately won us over. We were floored when we visited a class of Pre-K/K students and observed the children working from a list of vocabulary words posted on the white board, which included words such as vociferous and gregarious. Not only were the children able to read the words but they were able to define them. Needless to say our decision was easily made. Proudly, we can say that our son is one of the many bright, confident and self-assured children at Zadie's. We are confident that he will be able to handle many of the social and educational challenges in his future. Zadie's, thank you for everything. Sincerely, Nigel and Kimberly "
	"I'm just really happy that I know Lucas is in a place every day where he is loved, hugged, kissed etc. like he would be at home. I also love it that I can take guidance from you guys as a first time parent in terms of when to transition him from say 2 naps to one, when to start him on a sippy cup, how much & how frequently he should be eating etc. That is a huge help to me and what I learn from you is invaluable and is shared with many of my friends who have kids stay home with in-home care as well."

	"We recently relocated from Boston, MA to Chatham, NJ. My 3-year old daughter had a difficult transition to New Jersey and missed our family and friends back in Boston, MA. Zadies Nuturing Den helped my daughter with this very anxious time in her life. Due to the excellent care & teaching we received at Zadies, my daughter is a happy, fun and contented 3-year old. Thank you Zadies."
	"We visited numerous daycares before deciding where to entrust our son shortly after he was born. Two things set Zadies apart in our mind: the fresh, clean scent that greeted us as soon as we opened the door, and how quiet and well behaved the children were even as they walked in the hallways. Since enrolling our son there, Zadies has consistently exceeded our expectations for our son's academic and social development. Our son is a happy, well behaved boy - which is the best recommendation I can give. When you consider the first of many momentous decisions you will make in the raising of your child, you can feel very confident about the choice to send your child to Zadies Nurturing Den." Ed
