Finding a 12 month program was our main priority when choosing a learning center for our child and Bell's stays open all year round so we don't have to worry about summer.

My kid attends the Mahwah Center so I can only speak on that. I love that they are very focused on safety, which we appreciate. The doors are locked and they always verify who is picking up the kids. my 4 year old is doing the preschool curriculum and enjoys the hands on learning. he is always building things with the raw materials they provide. it is a great environment for active kids.
We enrolled our daughter in the Pre K program to help her get used to a classroom setting. The certified teachers at Paramus are so patient and really encourage the kids to participate. She was a bit shy at first, but now she loves raising her hand during circle time. They are doing a great job preparing her for kindergarten. We could not be happier with her progress and it's all thanks to the amazing teachers.
The proximity to the train station is why we originally chose the Westwood school. We drop our son off early and head straight to work. The care itself has been wonderful and the teachers are very hands-on. He is in the toddler room and is finally learning how to share his toys. I would highly recommend Bells because it is a very positive and supportive place for parents and their children.
Love that the infant room is completely separate from the older kids. it stays very quiet for nap time.
my wife and i love the 12 month curriculum they offer. it is so nice not having to piece together babysitters during the summer holidays. our daughter stays in her regular preschool class and keeps learning with her friends. the teachers make the summer months a bit more fun with extra outdoor time. it is a great setup for our family.
Finding a daycare that accepts infants at 6 weeks is very difficult in this area but thank goodness Bell's had an opening at their Mahwah center and it was a huge relief for us. The infant room is strictly separated from the older kids so it stays quiet. The staff logs everything meticulously so I always know how his day went. So far I have no complaints with the way they run things and handle my child and I am so grateful for the care they provide.
We moved from a home daycare to the Westwood location recently. The difference in structure is exactly what my 3 year old needed. They keep the toddlers on a predictable schedule with meals, naps, and activities. He behaves so much better in the evenings now because his day is so well balanced. We are so glad we made the switch to be honest.
Bell's Little Learners has been open since 1996 and it really shows in how passionate and organized they are. The administration is on top of everything and billing is always clear from my experience so far. my son is in the preschool class and he loves the group reading time. he is starting to recognize words on signs when we drive, which is amazing to see. they do a really good job with early education.
It was time for my 4 year old to start getting ready for kindergarten, so we registered at Bell's because of the amazing reviews we've seen online and heard directly from parents. Their Pre-K program is fantastic and they have only certified teachers run lessons. She is practicing her handwriting and learning basic math concepts with blocks. She comes home singing new songs every day and is so proud of herself. It is wonderful watching her confidence grow.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that your daughter is enjoying our Pre-K program and growing in confidence each day. At Bell’s Little Learners, we take pride in creating a nurturing and engaging learning environment where children can develop the skills they need for kindergarten while having fun along the way. It is so rewarding to hear that she is bringing home new songs and showing excitement about everything she is learning! Thank you for trusting us to be part of this important stage in her development. We look forward to watching her continue to learn and grow!
