Learning Ladders

This place is horrible ! Admin sucks! If it weren’t for the teachers my child have I would have been took her out ! Thank god for the teachers the admin is very unprofessional

This place is the most unprofessional. I am so disappointed I referred people to this place. I have a friend that has let her son attend the learning ladders and the staff has its good days as well as its bad days. I had no idea about the way they proceed with when your child gets injured week after week. I apologize for having referred this place and only hope they can rectify what ever needs to be done to make sure no child is not neglected in the future.

Great staff! I think the class sizes are perfect, and the teachers are just so loving. I’m so happy with my experience there. I’m looking forward to having my son continue at Learning Ladders.

I had previously left a review that addressed some issues I was having with learning ladders but the coordinator took time out to meet with me and address my concerns. I do hope that they are addressed (regular weekly updates with pictures with the kids, more outdoor activities, more stimulating indoor activities) but Ms Nereida assured me they were already looking into these. She is very good with children and has been in the business a long time. Additionally the staff, aside from the turnover that is sometimes out of anyone’s control, is great. Ms Madeline treats my baby like her own and I can tell from my baby’s reaction upon seeing her how loved she is. My baby is very interactive even with strangers and is generally very happy and I have to think that some of that comes from where she spends a good amount of her day which is at learning ladders.

Ok so where do I start? 2 months notice to get your child off. Not sure y, but that’s a trick to have double profit given that only way you take your kid out is either you are moving or if kid is continuously sick. If it’s latter, you won’t send kid for 2 months during notice. They get another kid in the meantime, so double profits! My kid got 5 ear infections in 4 months! Yes, that’s right. I pleaded to give me atleast 15days refund and they keep 45 days as I pay double for in home nanny in the same period. Surprise! Management says no money can be given. Definitely not sending my kid here again and also advising my friends not to go even if they let their kids for free. Can’t play with my precious’s health!

This is a ZERO star review because Unilocal hides negative reviews for some reason.
In short, anyone can write a fake positive or negative review so I’ll just stick to the facts
— some classes had 1 year commitment. Ask yourself, why?
— have to pay by bank direct deposit. Again, ask yourself why.
— 60 day notice required. All other day cares only have 30 days. Again, ask yourself why.
When you speak to the owner, look her in the eye and ask yourself. «is she lying to me?». Does she give you the impression, she cares only about your money and your money only. Only you can be the judge.
Some teachers and staff were extremely nice, I don’t know if they still work there.
A few more facts:
— easter, and other celebration days, you will be asked to bring in ‘school supplies’ such as eggs and baskets
— you will be asked to buy books for the class
— You already paid a ‘class supplies’ fee, so whats all that about? Did it actually go towards to children or just to the owners pocket?
only you can decide if you want to take a chance on this place

Learning Ladders has been such a great place for my baby girl! I just went back to work 6 weeks ago and from day one, the staff has been amazing with this transition. Before I went back to work, they strongly recommended that I bring her there for a few hours each day in the week leading up to it… to get her used to it (and to get me used to it). I am so thankful they had me do that because it made my first day back to work so much easier.
I know that my baby is in great hands. They are so thoughtful, caring and attentive and I could not be happier with choosing them to care for her. They treat each child like their own and really care so much about them. When I had to take McKinley to the doctor, they asked me the next day how it went. When they were running low on food I brought in for her, they called me concerned she would get hungry before I came to pick her up. They noticed her feet were cold and doubled up on socks. When I drop her off in the morning, they are genuinely so excited to see her. It is little things like that… that make me feel so good about choosing them.
As it turns out, my husband and I are buying a house and we are moving out of the area within the next month. Although we are very excited to embark on this new adventure, it is bittersweet because we are sad to be leaving Learning Ladders.
If you are looking for a daycare in the downtown Jersey City area, I highly recommend Learning Ladders. I only have experience in the infant program but that experience has been so amazing. Being a working mother is really hard but when you know your baby is in good hands, it makes it so much easier to adjust.
Thank you Nereida, Miss Madeline, Ms. Basma and everyone else that helps take care of my little girl!

This facility needs to be shut down. It is that terrible. Please do not put your precious child here. Not only the children are not being taught they are often left unattended. This I assume is because of the horrible teacher to student ratio. The mgmt team are rude and are even rude to their employees. Perhaps this is why they are always miserable when greeting and leaving. My child was taken out of here after repeated «accidents «and mysterious bruises that the staff nor mgmt staff was able to explain how it happened. After questioning my child, I found out that certain teachers were rough with the children. But this appears to be brushed under the rug. Parents please beware and question to see video footage of any accidents. It’s our right as parents to do so and they can not refuse. Upon your first visit you will see a façade which disappears after you sign your child up. Please beware, this facility is not a safe environment.

Leaving your precious one in the hands of others is a tough decision which must be made wisely.
After seven months since our kid started at Learning Ladders, we are happy with our decision.
Having a camera facility to view my kid in real time provides an extra assurance.
As a first time
parent who moved to Jersey City recently, we are very thankful to them for taking such a good care of
our kid.
After taking a tour of four other centers, we like them most.
