This is our 2nd year at Bayberry and we absolutely love it. The teachers are incredible. They truly care about each and every student. What my daughter learns always exceeds my expectations and my daughter loves to go because they make learning fun.

if your looking for a small town feel with teachers and a community that really knows you, this is the place to be!

Mrs. Miller, my daughter’s kindergarten teacher, is fantastic. I honestly can't imagine my daughter having a better teacher or kindergarten experience. My daughter loves her and has grown immensely over the course of the year, in every respect. She is challenged and held to her personal best but doesn't feel any pressure in learning, just joy and pride. Mr. Vignola, the principal, creates an environment where my daughter feels comfortable, welcome, and special. My interaction has been limited but very positive.So far, I’m beyond impressed with Bayberry.

Bayberry school is a little gem in a beautiful community. It truly feels like a family. The teachers are enthusiastic - a great balance between seasoned teachers who act as mentors and young eager teachers. The PTO is very strong and supports activities for the students and teachers alike. I have theee children in the Watchung school district and will be sad when they graduate.

Something at play here, or too many teachers seem a little depressed or something, not as full of life like the other shcools I have come across. I heard (school administrator) tells people she got teachers with masters degrees at good prices because of the tough economy, and that some full time teachers are compensated as part time ... and too many of the best kids are lost to private schools. Why? I hear there are several top teachers. As everywhere, more creativity and challenge, and less teaching to the middle would probably be the path to excellence.

great school and academics. Daughter attended kindergarten. The school should move to provide private service catering everyday vs only once a week. It currently leverages PTO for lunches but a consistent service 5 days a week would be so much better and appreciated.

This is a great school, with very friendly teachers and staff. My son has been studying in this school from past 1 year and he really enjoys going to school everyday. The teaching methodologies and resources used by the teachers is excellent. It is very modern and technology oriented. I like the way they incorporate technology in day to day teaching. I also like their evaluation process and they give very constructive feedback which helps parents to know areas where their kid needs improvement or areas where their kids needs more encouragement. All in all a great school!!!
