Our Children's Academy

Absolutely love OCA! My son has been attending for more than a year and we couldn’t be happier with the care he receives in this nurturing environment. We toured several schools before deciding on OCA. OCA was the ONLY ONE standing out that guaranteed care tailored to my son’s specific skincare needs and they really did an amazing job. The directors, the office, and the teachers went above and beyond to ensure not only the well-being of my son but also the entire family. With the seamless and efficient communication, we feel a strong sense of safety and security. A special thanks to Ms. Eslam for her incredible love and dedication. Her warmth and compassion make a world of difference. We are so grateful having her and eagerly anticipated the next chapter!

Our experience with Our Children's Academy and its staff has been exceptional, and we couldn't be happier with the care and support our children have received since enrolling our first little one in 2021 and second LO in 2023. The staff has always shown a level of love and care that extends beyond mere professionalism -- it's genuine and heartfelt. With a thoughtfully designed curriculum that combines educational and playful elements, they have undoubtedly contributed to our kids' development. OCA also actively engages with us parents, creating a supportive network that goes beyond drop-off and pickup. They regularly update us via a secure mobile app about our kids' activities, progress, and milestones so that we always have insight into their daily experiences. The open communication channels and approachability of the staff make us feel involved in our children's early education journey. What really sets OCA apart though is the joy we consistently witness on our LOs' faces at pickup. Not a single day has passed since they started attending that we haven't been greeted with big smiles and, from our 3-year-old, stories of his day's adventures. This speaks volumes about the positive and engaging environment created by the dedicated staff. We are so grateful to have found OCA and consider it a true extension of our family. The peace of mind we experience, knowing that our children are not only receiving quality education but also genuine love and care, is priceless. They view their role not just as a job but as a calling to support the growth of every child in their care. Our heartfelt thanks to the entire team for creating a nurturing environment that allows our children to thrive and for being an integral part of their formative years. OCA is, without a doubt, a second home for our LOs.

This daycare is a real find! It's incredibly well-run, with super caring teachers who stick around for the long haul. They keep the little ones busy with lots of fun activities like gym time, language lessons, and music sessions. And bonus: they provide all the meals! Plus, they're great about sending updates, photos, and videos throughout the day. Couldn't be happier with it!

I have sent my daughter to the OCA from February of 2023. She was only 9 months at the beginning and now she turned to 17 months. Between this period, the OCA gave us lots of precious memory of her. Although she won't remember this, but the pictures taken by here will remind her how her days in the OCA was great. I will definitely recommend this place for those who are considering to send their children. All staffs here including Ms. Andrea, Candy, Michelle and more are all kind and happy to take care of my daughter. We've never experienced any trouble or accident here.

Our son has been attending OCA since September 2023 and the amount of progress we've seen in him since then is truly amazing! Thank you to all the teachers and staff for making my son feel happy and always at home!

We had 2 Kids at OCA starting at 5mths old. They were amazing and we couldn’t say enough great things about the teachers and staff at OCA. We ended up moving out of town and we still get emails from the teachers checking up on our kids. Also great location near a Bus stop into the city. It’s also not just a daycare as they taught both our kids so much!! Highly Recommended!

OCA is the best daycare that my son has been to. They have incredibly caring teachers. And the administrative staffs are very knowledgeable and helpful! I would strongly recommend OCA to all parents with young kids!

By far the best daycare experience we could have ever asked for. We moved to Edgewater with a 9 month old daughter and were very nervous about putting her into daycare but OCA ended up being like a second home and family for us. When my son was born he started at 3 months and while I was sad to be apart from him, the comfort of having him at OCA eased so much of my stress and anxiety. The staff is amazing, besides loving and caring for our kids, they also have incredible curriculum and lessons, both of my children are much more advanced than their peers due to their teaching. They offer breakfast, lunch and snacks which is a huge help for busy working parents. Also, they take safety very seriously with doors locked at all times, and safety drills for kids which was one of my biggest factors in choosing a daycare, and they are top notch here. Besides learning they have so many enriching programs for the kids from gymnastics to music, spirit weeks, holiday concerts, events for mothers day and fathers day that both the kids and parents love. We recently moved away and still receive emails from the staff checking in on the kids. We loved our experience and would recommend to anyone in the area looking for daycare / preschool!!

If you need child care in Edgewater NJ this is the place to go !!! You will not regret it. OCA is the best school in the neighborhood. My child would still attend this school if we did not move. My family and I miss this school so much. If you’re looking for clean, updated, spacious classrooms with great staff then this is where you want to be. They address any concerns you have and are easy to contact. The teachers here are wonderful and always have eventful things happening for the children. You won’t regret it! We love you OCA.

I wish I could give OCA more stars!!! Our daughter attended for a little more than a year starting at 15 months old. We only left because we had to move away : She attended three different age group classes during her time there. All of her teachers provided her excellent care, love and age/developmentally appropriate learning opportunities. The teachers are well experienced, professional, warm and were very communicative with us about our daughter's day to day. Parents are informed about weekly themes which kept us in the loop about what she learned so we could talk about it/re create it at home. Her teachers and the director were very comforting and reassuring to her and us! during transition periods such as her very first week and while moving up classes as she got older. As first time parents, that was so important us. My daughter has thrived here in all areas of her growth! We liked the smaller ratio of teacher:child compared to other daycares/Pre-K in the area. Because of this, most of the teachers and their assistants knew our daughter. They work together with the children like a family and go above and beyond! : The director, assistant director and office managers are very welcoming people. They were always very friendly when I would arrive to drop off and pick up my daughter. They are communicative about what's happening at OCA, and know each child enrolled at their center. A variety of healthy meals and snacks were provided which was a huge plus. Without a doubt I would highly recommend OCA if you're looking for daycares/pre-k in Edgewater, NJ! Honestly go call them right now and see for yourself!!
