Newark

My daughter has recently completed TK with Challenger. I wish I could go more into detail about the curriculum but, since I'm not an educator, I can't really convey that with complete knowledge. I can say (however) how impressed I am with how much my daughter had learned within the last 9 months. She had learned basic math, she's reading, and every day that she came home from school she was overjoyed. It was just an overall positive experience (not just for her but for our whole family). As parents, all we want is for our children to look forward to coming to school - not just for the intent of learning; but also for the intent that they gain the social skills that will help them build the confidence they need. I am absolutely certain that Challenger was a great fit for our child - the perfect 'stepping stone' or introduction to guide her through the rest of her educational career. The staff - everyone from Ms. Phaily (Campus admin.) to Ms. Michelle (Principal) to her class teachers, Ms. Garima & Ms. Maggie who have all been so involved since the first day & have been instrumental in our child's development. They will communicate your child's progress and reward them for their accomplishments. They're supportive and encouraging. Your kids will feel safe and welcomed each day ... 100%. Forgive me as I'm getting emotional writing this review. Quite honestly, it took me a few days to be able to conjure up the right words. I wanted to be sure that I expressed my gratitude as they truly deserved. Challenger, THANK YOU ALL for such a memorable and meaningful experience!

Challenger has proven to be an exceptional institution for students not fully ready for school study. My kid initially struggled with English but gradually transformed under the school's dedicated support, particularly its strong focus on phonics that laid the foundation for her improved spoken English. The intimate campus environment and the teachers' patient, personalized approach allowed for tailored academic support that addressed her specific challenges while simultaneously nurturing her overall growth. Beyond academics, the school fosters a warm and engaging community spirit through a variety of holiday activities—including a St. Patrick’s painting session, a hands-on holiday celebration, and a 100 Days Celebration—as well as a Thanksgiving family lunch that brings families closer together. This comprehensive support system, both in the small group based classroom and through enriching extracurricular events, has made Challenger a nurturing and dynamic environment for learning and personal development.

Challenger School in Newark has been an amazing experience for our daughter! From Pre-K to Kindergarten, the nurturing environment and exceptional teachers have helped her thrive both academically and socially. A special thanks to Mrs. Garima, Mrs. Khan, and Mrs. Siyan for their dedication in fostering a love of learning. I’m so happy I enrolled her at this campus, as it allowed me to build a personal connection with the director and teachers, who played a vital role in my child’s love for school and studies. I really appreciate how they consistently challenge the kids, which has helped my daughter challenge herself and step out of her comfort zone. I also appreciate Ms. Michelle, the Center Director, for her unwavering support, and Ms. Phaily, the secretary, for always being helpful. I highly recommend Challenger Cedar Blvd Newark campus for its strong educational foundation and commitment to student growth!

Dear Ms. Singh and Ms. Maharaj, We're deeply grateful for the profound impact you've had on both of our children's educational journey at Challenger School. Under your guidance, they've grown into confident, independent, and compassionate individuals. Your dedication, expertise, and nurturing approach have fostered a love for learning, strong foundational knowledge, and essential life skills like critical thinking and collaboration. We appreciate the extra effort you've invested in our children's education and feel fortunate to have you both as part of their journey. Thank you for being outstanding educators and mentors.

Our family would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the teachers at Challenger Newark Campus, as well as to Ms. Michelle, the school director, and Ms. Phaily, the secretary. The staff at the school is consistently helpful with any questions or concerns we have. Initially, we believed that Challenger was primarily an academic institution, and we enrolled our daughter in their summer program while searching for a school for the academic year. However, we were delighted to find that they have genuinely perfected the ability to make learning engaging and enjoyable! Our daughter is currently in the kindergarten program and thriving! The curriculum and teaching standards at the school are outstanding. We appreciate the school’s emphasis on communication, performance, and overall child development. We believe these skills are crucial during these formative years. This approach provides our daughter with a solid foundation that will undoubtedly contribute to her long-term success. Our daughter eagerly looks forward to school each day and enjoys interacting with her teachers and friends. We are particularly impressed with the dedication of Mrs. Maharaj and Mrs, Singh’s commitment to nurturing our child’s potential is commendable, and we are forever grateful for the effort they put in. We look forward to another successful school year and are truly grateful for the positive impact the school has had on our child’s life.
