Our 2nd grader has been going here for the past couple years. He loves it there and we love sending him. They offer a more flexible schedule than other after-care places in the area. Our son goes 3 days a week. The staff is genuine and kind. My son’s homework is always completed before he leaves. And they offer really affordable full day camps on the days schools are off but parents are still working. Highly recommend!

My daughter has been going to Cranford's Best Kids for Aftercare since they opened last year. Everyday she looks forward to pick-up. I am a teacher and I am able to pick her up at 3:30, but she has so much fun that she doesn't want me to pick her up till after 5PM.
The staff is excellent, everyone is so friendly to the parents and they make us feel so comfortable. Additionally, they are very kind and caring to the students. It is an added plus that the kids get to participate in martial arts while in aftercare.
I highly recommend Cranford's Best Kids to anyone looking for aftercare or camp!

Cranford’s Best is an accurate name for this place. What makes it so great is the owner and director, Yessie. I have never had a more reachable, responsive, kind, and involved child care provider in the past 8 years my kids have been in some sort of daycare. We transferred here in 2021, after being at a different after care, where my daughter cried everyday. When I initially called Yessie, she was so empathetic and understanding of our challenges with aftercare to that point.
When I saw the facility I was skeptical at first, because it was different from the open gyms I was used to. But we have been blown away by our experience here.
My daughter knows her “coaches” and they help her finish her homework and do her independent reading each day. Once a week she has a free karate class after school, but the kids are allowed to take the class as seriously as they want - sometimes my daughter skips karate, and that’s totally okay. She gets to spend time with her friends from her grade at Walnut, but she has also made friends with lots of other kids.
Coach Yessie runs day and half-day programs to complement the school calendar, and she takes care to check in on us personally if she sees that we haven’t signed up or responded to opportunities. I’m never worried that we’ll be without care. We feel so grateful to be part of the Cranford’s Best family!
