The Learning Experience Basking Ridge reviews

The franchise management was not very ethical and cut corners when they could - like not hiring an effective cleaning crew, making employees clean under the pretext that "the cleaning crew didn't come or did a poor job" even though it was not our responsibility, there was a lack of honesty and the management would tell you one thing but do another, the facility did not recycle, and they had very unhealthy lunch options for the children. (However, lunch is optional and parents pay extra for it.)

The managerial style is abysmal, at best. The previous director was friendly and proactive, but the current director cannot be found. On the rare occasion when she is in the office, she is not willing to help the staff or the clients with any issues they might have. On several occasions when she should have been manning the front office, the area was abandoned, leaving children and parents waiting outside while whichever teacher was around tried to help out. She keeps the place underemployed, and if she feels that teachers in a room are becoming too familiar with one another, she separates them. There is clearly a sense that she would like the staff to be as uninvolved with one another as possible, which then affects the relationship between the teachers and their students. This is particularly a shame considering the previous director held such a strong stance on community within the school. Parents often refer to her as cold and unfriendly, while the staff is clearly feeling abandoned and unjustly penalized.
