Testimonials

Our daughter Renee started Sowing Seed back in September when she was just 3 months old. We are very thankful for the love and affection that she has received from Miss Gloria, and the others in the school. I highly recommend this facility to all the parents looking for a top-notch daycare/school for their kids.

Sowing Seed School in Weehawken, New Jersey, has been an incredible place for both of my children. My daughter, Misha, started attending the school when she was 2.5 years old, and my son began when he was just 18 months old. One standout experience has been with my daughter’s teacher, Ms. Maria. She has not only taught Misha how to write and understand science and other academic subjects, but she has also instilled in her the importance of self-love, which is something we emphasize at home. The principal, Mrs. Duran, is wonderful and actively involved in the daily activities at the school, which creates a cohesive and caring atmosphere. Daily walks, circle time, and academics have been wonderful, providing a balanced and enriching experience for my children. My daughter recently graduated from their Pre-K Program, and we are confident that she is well-prepared for kindergarten, equipped with all the tools and knowledge she gained at Sowing Seed.

Olga Gozenput

Our daughter started attending Sowing Seed School when she was just 2 years old, and the growth and development she has experienced under the tender care of the teachers and staff have been remarkable. The nurturing environment provided by the school has allowed her to flourish in ways we could have only hoped for. The dedication and patience of the staff, led by the wonderful owner who is ever-present and attentive to both children and parents, have made a profound impact on our daughter’s early education. The patience and hands-on approach at Sowing Seed creates a community where parents feel heard and supported, which is truly invaluable. We highly recommend Sowing Seed School to any parent looking for a nurturing, supportive, and enriching environment for their child. Sowing Seed School is more than just a preschool, it’s a community that fosters love, learning, and growth in every child.

Our experience at Sowing Seed School has been truly amazing. Both of my daughters started in the infant room at about 4 months old and my older daughter is graduating PreK 4. We have felt like family here since the day we stepped into this school 5 years ago. The teachers are the most loving people I could ask for and many of the teachers have been there since we started, and have worked with and taken care of both of my children. Love and compassion always comes first in everything they do, while still having a huge emphasis on curriculum. The teachers treat the kids/babies as if they were their own children which always gives me great comfort considering our kids spend so much time there! 

Allyson Jarecky

I’m glad that I chose Sowing Seed for my son. All teachers in his classes are extremely patient, experienced, and responsible. The school has an exceptional student-teacher ratio, which ensures that every student receives ample attention. The school also emphasizes DEI– they celebrate holidays from around the world and has an international costume day. My son likes these parties and he likes to learn others’ culture. In addition, Sowing Seed’s rigorous curriculum promotes both academic and social-emotional development, which helped my son to be accepted into an excellent kindergarten program. We love the school!

Jing Dong

Sending both of my kids to Sowing Seed School for daycare, Pre-K3, and Pre-K4 was one of the best decisions we’ve made. The school provides engaging and appropriately challenging activities that have significantly contributed to their development. Now that our children have joined a new school, it has become clear how much they have learned at SSS. They were more than ready for this new chapter with the skills they needed. Most importantly, the teachers, assistants, and staff have their hearts in the right place. Our kids adore them and will forever cherish the wonderful moments and great friends they made there. Highly recommend this amazing school!

Marina Novello

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Sowing Seed. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment, especially since my little experienced some separation anxiety. We’ve seen tremendous growth in her social skills, confidence, and love for learning. The staff is all great, a big shoutout to Maureen and Maribel. It’s truly a wonderful place for our daughter. I recommend it.

DD G

Highly recommend Sowing Seed. Sent both my kids there (until age 3) and am completely satisfied with how much they learnt, and how well they were cared for. All the teachers are extremely loving people. The classes have fantastic diversified curriculums with tons of art, reading, music, and plenty of outdoors time. My 3 year left knowing how to spell and write his name. A perk is outdoors time- they go for plenty of walks on the boardwalk. If you live in Port Imperial, I loved the fact that we could walk to daycare instead of drive. Kids loved that too. We only left the school because we moved to suburbia, but I can say in retrospect that it’s hard to find a comparable daycare to Sowing Seed in terms of both curriculum and staff.

Joey Krygier

We started our son in SSS since he was six months old. He just turned five in May and had the most amazing graduation from the PK-4 class led by Ms. Maria. Having attended a daycare from an infant age myself, I was amazed by how caring and professional the staff members are. During Covid, they immediately enacted new rules for picking up and dropping off to ensure health and safety of the children. They constantly bring psychologists and medical professionals to train the staff members to strengthen their knowledge in early development and medical conditions. We’ve always received timely feedbacks from the teachers and director herself. The level of attentiveness we receive is beyond satisfactory. If you are by “the Gold Coast” of Port Imperial, this is the school to provide your children with the most personal care and nurturing they need as they grow up.

Ann Liu

My children have been attending Sowing Seed School (SSS) for five years, and I’ve been extremely happy with the experience. The school offers mentally and physically stimulating activities that reflect positively in our children’s day-to-day behavior. The staff and teachers are exceptionally attentive and caring, clearly passionate about their roles. The facilities and learning environment are top-notch, which is why we chose SSS for our kids. We’ve noticed progressive significant improvements in their learning, cognitive abilities, behavior, creativity, and communication. Activities like petting zoo visits, field trips, and teamwork exercises have been particularly beneficial. We love SSS so much that even though my son got admitted in DE, Tessa and Eliz M, which are 3 exceptional schools, we still chose to keep our kids into SSS for their further education.

Ashish Singh

Sowing Seed is definitely a great place for children. Our son stayed there for more than 3 years. He met a lot of great teachers and made tons of friends and memories there. We are missing SSS so much. Special thanks for Ms. Maria and Ms. Michelle. They are so warm and kind and considerate.

Jennifer

This is a wonderful place for children. The facilities are clean and well-organized, and the staff is warm and attentive. I appreciate the emphasis on safety and nurturing environments for kids. It’s definitely a great choice for parents seeking quality childcare.

Liliya Panteleev

Thank you for creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore their unique potential.

Giselle Saigh

My son has been a student here since he was 2 years old. We’re going on almost 2 years now, and we plan to keep him here until he graduates. Staff has been very patient, understanding, and informative. Facilities are 5 star, and the extra programs they offer like basketball, soccer, Mr. Softie visits, petting zoo visits, etc. keep things interesting for my child. My son loves going to school in the morning!

Alexis Pacheco

Such an amazing school! My daughter has been here for over 2 years and she has come a long way! Teachers and staff are kind, patient and loving! School is impeccable and my daughter loves going!

Gloriana Bussanich

I had both of my kids attending for 3 years and all I have to say is “Thank you very much.” They came out well prepared academically and personally for K. The amount of effort and attention from the teachers and school staff is out of this world.

Gabriel Comoti

If you’re a new parent who’s trying to figure out what’s best for your child, I’d advise you to check out SSS. My kid started here since she was 3 months old and graduated from Pre-K to D-E. Mrs. Maria and Mrs. Ashley are wonderful teachers. Mrs. Maria is so much a part of my kid’s life that she wants to go visit her. I can’t express my gratitude enough for this place.

Sruti T Das

Both of our boys attended Sowing Seed School. This was one of the best decisions we made for our little ones. Sowing Seed has a structured program but also realizes that each baby and child comes with their own uniqueness and they encourage that.

From a developmental standpoint, the school paid close attention to the age and individual progress of each child and was communicative with us daily at pick up and drop off about our child’s day and growth. The activities range from art, alphabets, numbers, and free play, amongst many other things. They also encouraged group activities with the other kids in the class, to promote socialization. We would receive pictures of story time, dancing, and free play where the kids were all interacting.

What we loved most about Sowing Seed was the love they showed our kids. Our kids were beyond excited everyday going to Sowing Seed, you could tell they were loved by their teachers and all of the staff at the school greeted our boys with kindness and by their names. That is one of the great benefits of Sowing Seed, it is big enough to operate as a top quality institution but also small enough that everyone knows everyone and becomes family!

Another great feature we loved about Sowing Seed was the activities. From the famous Zoo day, to basketball, soccer, ice cream and holiday festivities, these are things our toddlers loved!

Lastly, while separate from the school itself, the food catering program, Daily Delicious that Sowing Seed had partnered with was phenomenal – they provided amazing food and it was always diverse.

Our two kids went to SSS and this is their very first school. We are so glad that we made this choice over other options we had. The management and the teachers are true educators that care. They love our kids and really take great care of them. I trust this school fully and never need to worry about anything. The class communication is great– lots of pictures, details of their day, monthly learning, calendars, fun events and holiday decorations. Our kids made so many great friends here in this loving and caring environment, they learned a lot over the years. We are sad to leave as our older daughter graduated. I hope the school expands to higher grades so we could stay longer.

If you’re looking for an early learning center with a personal touch, pristine facilities, and excellent teachers/caregivers; we have found Sowing Seeds to exceed expectations. Our daughter was happy there through the prek3/4 programs and it will be difficult to say goodbye as she transitions to the next step. She excelled at learning and always felt truly cared for. The teachers are such wonderful people. We felt acknowledged as parents and always knew our child was safe in their care, even in the most precarious times in the world. The whole team makes it easy for the parents & fun for the kids. We are very thankful to Sowing Seed School.

Iarae Bryant

My daughter has been attending SS for a year and transitioned between two classes from the 1’s to the 2’s. My daughter is in Ms. Felicia’s class now and it has been an absolute pleasure working with her and the team of teachers there. Ms. Duran and her teachers have been very helpful and communicative with every step of the way. My daughter has really flourished socially and verbally the past year. There are difficult times with her age group and I have been naturally anxious given that she’s my firstborn, but I’m grateful that I could always reach out anytime to the teachers and Ms. Duran to work out the challenges.

Joyce Yung

Everyone there is amazing. The love they all share for the kids goes beyond their own last breath. The location is gorgeous and super clean. The owner is amazing and everyone treats the kids as if they were their very own.

Fabianne Vera

I’ve been bringing my daughter to Sowing Seed since she was 3 months old. She is now 10 months. I was conflicted in hiring a nanny or bringing her to childcare. It was an easy choice when I met with director Mrs. Duran and teachers. She was so thorough with the tour. You can really tell she loves children. She was an educator for over 30 years! She is very personable and easy to reach if you have any questions. They update me throughout the day and send me pictures. It’s comforting knowing that all the teachers really care about her well being. The front desk staff Ms. Maureen in the mornings and teacher Ms. Maria in evenings are so nice and professional. The facility is also very clean. The maintenance crew are always smiling and pleasant. I’m very happy with my decision and I can’t wait for my daughter to be able to tell me about her day. As I know she will be learning so much and is in a very loving environment. Thank you Sowing Seed staff. I’m at ease while work knowing my baby is in excellent care.

Johanna

My son, who is about to turn 3, attends Sowing Seed School. He has been going there for nearly a year and loves it. I have seen a dramatic change in his behavior in that he has learned to share and follow instructions. I am often astonished at how much he learns at such a young age. His teachers are caring and compassionate. The Director of the school has over thirty years of experience as an educator, and her vast experience not only helps guide the teachers, but also eases parents’ anxieties regarding various issues that arise. My son looks forward to school everyday. When I pick him up after school he tells me about all the things he learned that day. His teacher starts the day off with a lesson on the date and day of the week.  They review the days of the week in English and Spanish.  Then they go around the room and each child introduces themselves.  It is great that at such a young age they are already practicing their public speaking skills.  My son participates in various programs offered by the school including music class, sports, etc.  I love that his teachers take the time to write notes in his daily report and provide pictures of him throughout the day.  I can see all that my son is learning and I can see him at the park playing.  I love that the kids do not have screen time and that they are always either learning, creating projects (which they bring home and are so proud of), interacting with each other, playing at the park, listening to stories, looking at books, etc. Sowing Seed is the best school for my son, and I would recommend it to anyone!  Oh, and did I mention how clean it is?  The school is always immaculate!  Send your kids there…you won’t regret it!

Michelle Ferrer

We couldn’t be happier with Sowing Seed School and are so relieved to know our 2 year old son is attending it. As a parent, it is so difficult to trust anyone to watch their kid, but after over a year now, we know we made the best decision in choosing this facility.  The director of this school is so professional and such a loving woman. You can tell she cares about children. Our son was sick a few times this year and she reached out to us personally, each time to see how he was doing. We know he’s in very good hands with her and her amazing staff. He is so happy there and that makes us happy too. Our son made so much progress there, he loves books, loves singing and is already ready for potty train. I highly recommend this school to everyone we know who live in the area. Sowing Seed School is everything we were looking for, their facility is the cleanest and safest we’ve visited. The photos are a big plus!
