Schools in Freehold, NJ

“My son Ean started at Start Kids Academy when he was just 15 months old, and he had such a wonderful experience. He learned so much and made great friends, many of whom still ask for him now that he's in pre-K. The teachers are absolutely fantastic, and the care they provide is beyond anything I could have hoped for. Now, my second child is also attending Start Kids Academy, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with the care of my little ones. I highly recommend this place! As Jaime said, 'we are family now.' I am truly grateful for all the love and attention they show to my children every day.”

“We absolutely love this daycare! My daughter looks forward to going every morning. The teachers are incredibly caring and loving, and they truly treat her like their own. They offer delicious Russian food and snacks, and the kids spend a lot of time playing and learning both indoors and outdoors.

One thing that was very important to me is their strict sick policy—they don’t allow sick kids to attend, which means fewer illnesses spread. In her old daycare, my daughter was sick every two weeks, but since switching, she’s only been sick once in the entire year!

I couldn’t be happier with our decision to switch daycares. Thank you to the amazing teachers for all that you do!❤️??”

“Our kids have been going to Apple Hill Academy for the last 3 years and we love the school. My oldest graduated pre K and and is now thriving in kindergarten thanks to all the knowledge she gained at Apple Hill! I toured quite a few schools in the area before choosing and I was very impressed how quick they were to respond and answer all of my questions, Helene was polite, welcoming, and scheduled our tour right away. Our daughter loved it from the first day and has made many friends there. I like the fact that the kids do a combination of crafts, scholastic activities and outside play. They also learn word in spanish, sign language and learn about well being and calming techniques. They are exposed to different sports, cultures, learn about different holidays, foods/recipes and career choices. We will continue to take our kids here and highly recommend to family and friends!”

“Choosing a day care for our children was one of the most difficult decisions we as parents had to make. Let’s just say the choice was very clear after touring a few local daycare centers and speaking with various individuals. Goddard Freehold has made us feel like family from day one. Now with two little ones there, the peace of mind knowing they are safe and learning on a daily basis is well worth it to me and my family. I would give Mr. John, Ms. Suzzane, Ms. Andrea and their entire staff 10 stars if I was able to.”

“I’ve been using this daycare and summer camp since 2014 for both of my kids (now ages 13 and 8), and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. The staff is caring, professional, and truly dedicated to providing a safe and enriching environment for all the kids. It's also so nice seeing the same faces each year.

One of the best parts of the summer camp is the daily trips they take, which both of my kids get to enjoy together. From amusement parks to outdoor adventures, the kids are always excited for something new each day. I love how the trips are designed to be engaging for all ages, and both of my children come home each day excited to share what they’ve learned and experienced.

The staff really knows how to make every child feel included and supported, regardless of their age. I’ve seen both my kids grow in confidence and social skills, all while having a blast during summer camp. I’m so grateful for the lasting impact this daycare and camp has had on my family, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a trustworthy, fun, and educational place for their kids!”

“This a great school, teachers genuinely care about the children and are doing their very best to keep the children engaged while virtual learning. The principal will always make sure that all your questions are answered and the staff overall is amazing.”
