My son is absolutely thriving at this school. The teachers and staff are amazing. The school is impeccably clean, and that’s coming from an OR nurse. Being a working mom, having meals ready for my son throughout the day has been a blessing. Updates with pictures and videos throughout the day really help me feel more involved and updated in my child’s care. My boyfriend, child’s father, and I all agree it was the best choice switching to this school. And he now understands Russian at almost 4 after over half a year there. I could go on… thank you genius kids academy!

My daughter was a student of Genius Kids Academy for two years. There, she was so happy and excited to be in miss Olya and Miss Anna class. They are great teachers kind, patient and intelligent, so my daughter will miss them very much.

I am so thankful to have found Genius Kids Academy! I can't say enough positive things about the school and the entire staff. We started in the preschool with the most caring and nurturing teachers and moved our way up to pre-k with Anna and Olga, who my daughter learned so much from and whom she truly looks up to. I could not have asked for a better curriculum where the staff treats your child like their very own and how they take the time out to give each child the individual attention that they need. This was my daughter's first school and from day one all of the staff have taken the best care of my daughter. On her very first day (in the middle of a school year) Anna welcomed my daughter into the school and personally spent so much one on one time with her to evaluate her skills and class placement for the remainder of the year. I was so thankful to have had her guidance throughout my daughter’s years at Genius Kids. A bonus is that the staff are very attentive at making sure the children are eating well - this was so important to me, and I never had to ask, the teachers always kept me updated!From drop-off to pick-up, the teachers and staff have always been welcoming and helpful. The school is very clean, organized, has tasty and nutritious food (my daughter specifically loved their soup variety, her favorite is buckwheat soup!). They have live cameras if you like to check in, and the staff always communicates well with the parents through their app. The staff is also always available to chat or answer any questions you may have and update you on your child’s progress.They also have terrific seasonal shows for the children and families where the kids recite poems, songs, and dances. I could go on and on about my amazing experience with this school! I could not have asked for a better first school experience for my daughter, she has learned so much all thanks to Genius Kids!

My baby started Genius Kids during Covid when she was 9 month old and it really was a blessing. I heard horror stories from my friends about their day cares and was relieved when i realized how lucky we were to choose Genius Kids after my friend recommended it.The teachers and nannies are kind, caring and hard working.We went there for 2.5 years and my little girl would happily go every morning.The school is very organized, the hours are great and the management is professional.Food is homemade and nutritious.The only reason we switched schools this year is because we had to transfer her to a religious school because she’s getting older and her 2 older siblings already go.It’s with a heavy heart that we left GK, but if you’re looking for a trusting daycare (with live cameras all over the school) - I definitely recommend it!

My daughter has been here for over 3 years. Camera access at any time, great organic food, and great playground, even an outside garden for kids to learn! Most importantly- all of the teachers we met through the years were all kind, encouraged learning, were compassionate, & attentive. Special thank you to our latest teachers Ms Anna and Ms Olga! I know They truly love their job! They have always treated my child as their own, and have taught her so much! As we are going to elementary school in September, we are truly sad to leave Genius Kids!

I highly recommend Genius Kids Academy in Morganville. My child has been attending there for 4 years and runs to his teachers every morning. As a parent, I have peace of mind knowing that he gets healthy meals and snacks, is educated by highly qualified staff, and I can watch him any time through their live cameras. Genius Kids is our second home and I cannot recommend it enough.

Our daughter has attended this daycare since she was less than 2yrs old. The daycare provides daily organic meals and snacks for kids, interesting and encouraging lessons, rewards, and even fun concerts. As a young, first time mom i had the need to look at cameras in the beginning, when she just started (worrying and anxious to leave my child with someone other than myself!)...but after a few months, i realized i no longer had the need to! i knew that my child is being well taken care of, well fed, and dressed according to weather! My child comes home excited to share what she learned (she's 4.5yr old now), and says how she loves all of her teachers. I have 0 complaints, and i also love the messaging system (between parent and teacher). I can always send messages to my teachers, and get super prompt reply! 5 stars for this place!- Irina C.

My husband and I walked into Genius Kids and we knew it was the school for our son. Clean, safe, welcoming and full of colorful work the children and teachers have done. They have cameras in each classroom, the gym, and the playground – so I can watch my kid grow, and hey also send pictures and videos on a regular basis.The playground is quite spacious and has tons of toys and slides. They have a summer garden too and the teachers engaged kids to pick fresh homegrown tomatoes and cucumbers, which I thought was pretty cool!Our family is Russian-speaking and we really wanted our son to keep that Russian heritage. It was made possible at Genius Kids thanks to our teachers who are fluent in both Russian and English.Our son's teachers Ms. Anna and Ms. Sasha (preschool class) are fantastic, they are creative and friendly and make an effort to develop kids in a very personalized way. My son gets so much love, hugs, support and attention there – it melts my heart. The teachers are super responsive and really pay attention to all my requests, which I appreciate very much. In addition, my son loves the food there (he raves about it every day), the lunches and dinners are freshly cooked daily, they get fresh organic fruit and vegetables, and the snacks are always healthy too!Oh, and they do Winter Holidays and Mother’s day concerts (utrenniki). Unfortunately the parents could not attend due to Covid restrictions, but the concerts were recorded and sent to us via Genius Kids app.Overall, Genius Kids is a very good fit for our son and for us as parents.

My Mila has been going to GK for over a year now and we have been extremely satisfied with the services. Teachers Ms. Anya and Ms. Sasha are very attentive and my daughter comes home extremely happy. She is excited to go every morning and I love having the option to check on her through their camera system during the day . The staff also keeps the parents updated with pictures throughout the day and activity reports through their parent connect app. I highly recommend GK .

5 months ago we were looking for a Russian-language kindergarten for our daughter. Out of three different kindergartens, we chose Genius Kids. We immediately liked the owner Stella, they have an excellent developmental program, they try to feed the children healthy organic food, and they take safety seriously, including in the context of a pandemic. My daughter loves kindergarten, loves her teacher and is friends with other children.Recently, a conflict situation arose in the kindergarten with a new child and his mother. The daughter complained several times that they tried to bite her, but we did not attach any importance to this. As it turned out, all the children and parents complained. However, the administration took measures with great professionalism to protect children, perhaps even against its own interests.

A terrible kindergarten, with absolutely no regard for children. The owner of the kindergarten, Stella, apparently opened it to collect her pennies and, in principle, has no sympathy for children. So that an adequate person would never start calling names!!! A 3-year-old child (who cannot defend himself) in public (even more so on social networks). Their Top “Educators” kicked my child and when they were angry, they threw educational material across the room. (What????).The three-year-old child was simply stressed the entire 2 weeks that we went there. As a result, we were kicked out supposedly for aggressive behavior towards other children. As it turned out later, it is a common practice for them to kick out children they don’t like. Children need to be helped to adapt to a new environment and to begin with, treat them well. But this is not about this kindergarten, unfortunately.As a result, we went to a local small American kindergarten in Holmdel, where my child is treated like his own. For a month now, every day I receive compliments from my son, who comes home happy!!!!!!I sincerely regret that I sent my son to this place and subjected him to such torture, in the literal sense of the word.Overall, my experience was terrible in every way.P.s. “Changing, biting and beatings” - the words of the owner of the kindergarten towards my son in an open group on Facebook.At least send your child to MMA :)) I probably would have done that if it were true))

I am not really a person who posts reviews for businesses but in this case I have to share my experience at Genius Kids Academy. Absolutely clean and cozy facility equipped with everything that kids need. Amazing teachers who really love kids, organic farm home made food, fruits, vegetables. Big playground with a garden. My son loves to learn and his great teachers teach him to love to learn. Every day he is waiting to go to daycare. This is the place where our kids deserve to be!

My son has Mrs Masha and Mrs Olga as his teachers right now. I could not express on how wonderful they are. They go above and beyond On what a teacher does. They are literally saints with a lot of patience. My sons Russian has also gotten a lot stronger due to his free Russian classes provided by the school. With Mrs Masha’s skills my son was accepted into Ranny private school. She guided him and helped him with so much. Thank you for all that you do. Absolutely amazing!!!!! Highly recommend Genius Kids Academy..
