    Event childcare you can trust

    We needed event childcare for a close family wedding for our toddler and infant. Shatarra went above and beyond in helping us and our children feel comfortable. She was very flexible and both kids were calm and happy in her care. Our toddler even asked about her the next day if she would come play again, which means alot! She was very responsible and prompt; even sharing her location while watching the children for an extra sense of security. I wish I had found her sooner!

    Spectacular Experience

    If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Child Experience Daycare in Elizabeth, NJ, is truly a gem, and Teacher Sha’Tara is nothing short of spectacular. From the moment you walk through the doors, you feel the warmth, care, and love that radiates from her and the entire environment. Sha’Tara treats every child as if they are her own, with the kind of genuine concern, patience, and attentiveness that is rare to find. She creates a safe, nurturing space where children can explore, learn, and grow with confidence. Her teaching style blends structure with creativity—whether it’s identifying colors and numbers, engaging in hands-on activities, or encouraging curiosity through storytelling and imaginative play, she ensures every child is thriving academically and emotionally. What truly stands out is the personal attention she gives to each child’s needs and milestones. She’s not just a teacher; she’s a mentor, a cheerleader, and a source of comfort for both the children and parents. The peace of mind I have knowing my child is in such capable and loving hands is priceless. Child Experience is more than just a daycare—it feels like an extended family, a place where every child is cherished and supported like they are Sha’Tara’s own. I cannot recommend Teacher Sha’Tara and Child Experience Daycare enough!

    Bride/ client

    A Child's Experience TOO provided exceptional child care services for our wedding day. Their communication was efficient and professional, and they went above and beyond to ensure our 16-month-old son was well taken care of. During our getting ready time, they kept him engaged and entertained. And during the reception, they even fed him and kept him happy, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration. The quality of their work was truly outstanding - they exceeded our expectations in every way. We are so grateful to have had their support on our special day.

    No Better Wedding Childcare Around!

    From the moment we booked A Child's Experience TOO, we knew we were in good hands. Her communication was fast, kind and attentive, putting us at ease about entrusting our daughter's care on our wedding day. The team is incredibly caring, loving and thoughtful, going above and beyond to make sure our little one was well cared for and entertained throughout the event. We literally were in shock at how quiet and well-behaved our normally rambunctious toddler was. From helping with pre-wedding prep, ceremony and reception care and post-wedding assistance, we would recommend A Child's Experience TOO to anyone with an upcoming wedding! They've become like family to us and our daughter couldn't be happier when watched by Ms. Shatarra. We are so grateful to A Child's Experience TOO for helping make our special day truly perfect.

    Our Vow Renewal Ceremony

    A Child's Experience TOO was an absolute lifesaver on our wedding day. Shatarra was so positive, flexible, and caring throughout the entire process. She is patient and passionate about working with kids and does everything with love! Shatarra helped keep our son entertained and happy during the ceremony so we could fully enjoy the moment, and even offered to watch him after so my husband and I could have some much-needed alone time. A Child’s Experience Too was invaluable and allowed us to fully be present on our special day. We can't recommend them enough!
