Our world-class, cross-curricular program nurtures academic and social excellence during a child's early learning years. We believe that each child is born with curiosity and a desire to learn. Since each child has unique strengths, individual learning styles, and their own rhythm, we work to get to know each other and then challenge them to advance according to individual needs, not according to group norms.
In the process, children learn to make good decisions and take charge of their own learning. We provide a nurturing environment not just for the children but also to parents as well to make sure every family has a wonderful experience. This is what sets us apart.

Our vision is to be an international school known and respected globally for the highest standards of early learning. We want to inspire and empower our children to be successful, international citizens. Our daily drive is to be a school where great learning takes place within a warm, supportive and creative environment.
An International Atmosphere - Truly an international school, we promote a culture of international awareness and celebration. Our students receive an authentic international experience within a diverse student community and from educators who have international expertise representing five continents.
What does the academic year look like? We are open year round. The main difference between our two terms is during the Summer, though we still continue academic and social education as defined in our curriculum, we have more social and physical programs to take advantage of the beautiful summer weather.
A few kind words from some of the most important experts on the greatstart experience: our parents. We are truly blessed to have Ms. Saida as our son's teacher as he is head-starting in education. We sincerely appreciate her loving care and attention to our son which we consider as of paramount importance and a stepping stone for developing his interest in learning.
Flexible, personalized learning prepares your child to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world. The GR.A.C.ETM (Greatstart Academic Curriculum for Excellence) Learning Program is our exclusive and proprietary curriculum. This innovative program, based on the award-winning The Creative Curriculum for Preschool, enables children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills.

This daycare has been home to my 3 boys from age 2.5 to 4/5 and I can't stop talking about it! The level of education, advanced curriculum they have it's insane!! You can see it as soon as my kids started Kindergarten at their other school how advanced and prepared my kids were. The teachers were surprised! The kids feel at home, the staff has been there a while so it's trustworthy, it's clean, extra clean!! Secured and just a great place for kids to learn, have fun and create long lasting friendships

Our two year old son, Rayyan, has been going to Great Start for past two months. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time at Great Start and has learnt a lot from them in short span of time. His teachers have been very helpful in contributing to his learnings and increasing his confidence. His favorite teachers have been Ms. Terry, Ms. Sierra and Ms. Becky with whom he has become very comfortable and always talks about them even at home. Ms. Janice has been grateful in providing the right atmosphere for our son to learn and grow. We notice that Rayyan is continuously learning new words and singing songs

Greatstart Early Learning SP is a fabulous facility with a great curriculum run by amazing people! Our children started in July (2 year old who previously attended a different school and our newest addition of 4 months). The owners, Peter and Johanna, are a pleasure to talk to. They are very transparent and make it a point to personally know all the children and their quirky personalities. This is quite impressive considering they own several locations. All of the post-COVID safety protocols are strictly enforced which has kept our family healthy and safe. The school is sanitized throughout the

Greatstart Early Learning School in South Plainfield, NJ is like a HOME for us. We have two children and our eldest graduated from there last year. He was there since he was at least 18 months old (if I remember correctly). He is 6 years old now and attending a private school in town. Our daughter and fortunately her cousins are also attending Greatstart. She has one more year before she joins her brother at the big school.
Like most of you, we love our children so much that we search for the best place to help us navigate our children’s growth, foundation and life as a family. We trusted Greatstart

Both my kids enjoyed attending Great Start Early Learning at South Plainfield. They loved their classrooms, indoor and outdoor play areas, and most of all their teachers. Ms. Latifah, Ms. Hamida and Ms. Geeta have been patient and caring, and my kids have great memories of their time at school. I also liked that the kids' washrooms are spacious with plenty of stalls. I loved reading my kids' daily reports and the team is very communicative. Birthday parties, summer trips and ice cream truck visits, and graduation performances have been a big hit with the kids.

I put my son in Greatstart when he was 15 months old and even I worked here as an Assistant Teacher. Believe me when I say, the entire staff knows what they are doing and everyone is good at what they do. The reason being, everyone loves what they do here and their first priority has always been the children here. Every child is equally treated, every teacher is kind and extremely loving. I cannot think of any other daycare for my son but this one. 😊❤️

We had a nice experience with the daycare, my child enjoyed every day and miss Hamida is a very great teacher with lots of patience who helped my child in every aspect, definitely I can recommend to the other families about this day care. I would like to thank once again Greatstart early learning for choosing the right teachers.
