“We recently celebrated our son’s second birthday at Gymboree, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! We had children of various ages in attendance, and so many of our guests complimented us on what a wonderful party it was. Andrea, the owner, was incredibly communicative and answered all of my questions promptly. Kirsten was fantastic—she kept the kids engaged with a variety of fun activities and also helped us with setting up and cleaning up the party room. I would highly recommend Gymboree to anyone looking to host a toddler birthday party!”

“I had no intention to send my son to daycare, but after a family emergency left us in need of childcare we enrolled him here, and I am so glad we did. The staff is incredibly friendly and warm, it’s a place where everybody truly knows your name and your child’s name. The students are engaged throughout the day in a variety of activities and they even offer special events for parents to join in.
Today is my son’s last day, and I am genuinely sad to say good-bye after a wonderful 16 months. If our town didn’t have universal PK, he’d still be with the wonderful staff at the Tintin Falls TLE.”

“I can’t express how grateful I am for the amazing care my child receives at Kindercare. The staff is incredibly nurturing and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming environment where my toddler feels safe and happy. The activities are engaging and educational, fostering both creativity and social skills. I truly appreciate the dedication and love they put into each day. Thank you for being such a wonderful second home for my little Roo.”

“We really love this daycare! We originally picked it because the location and hours worked well for us, but it’s turned out to be such a great decision for so many more reasons.

Our daughter is always so happy to go in the morning and comes home smiling—what more could we ask for? Miss Alexis and Miss Stephanie are amazing. You can tell they truly care, and our little one absolutely adores them.

We also love all the fun activities they plan, like Ice Cream Day and Bubbles Bash. It’s those little things that make it such a special place.

So glad we found this center—it’s been a wonderful experience for our family!”

“I can not say enough amazing things about Goddard. I just wish I found them sooner. The directors and owner are so caring and helpful. The place is ran so well and it is very clean! The staff are all friendly and caring always have a smile on their face. I love that they know my son’s name even ones that aren’t his teachers. My son loves going everyday to camp and I can’t thank Goddard enough for treating him like family❤️ big shout out to Miss Sandy for making my son feel so welcomed and cared for everyday he is there. If you are looking for somewhere to send your child this is the best place around.”

“I love Children of the King!! We have sent all four of our children there and it’s been the best experience!! We are so grateful to this opportunity to invest in our children’s early childhood education experience.”

“We seriously love this place. From the moment we walked in, we knew our child would be in great hands. The staff is so kind, patient, and clearly loves what they do. Our little one is always excited to go in the morning and comes home happy!

They do such a great job keeping the kids engaged with fun activities, learning time, and play. We’ve noticed such a difference in our child’s confidence and development since starting here. Plus, the place is always super clean and feels really safe and welcoming.

They’re great at keeping us in the loop with daily updates and pictures, which we really appreciate. It feels so good to know our child is being cared for by people who genuinely care.

Highly recommend to any parent looking for a warm, friendly, and reliable daycare!”

“My son went to Goddard recently for 1 yr of school and then summer camp. Everyone there is fantastic - Jeff, Christine, and allllll of the teachers. They are organized, personable, and communicate effectively. Everyone always has a smile on their face. Top notch !”

“We had such a wonderful experience at Learning Tree Preschool for their 4 year old PreK + enrichment program. We had moved back to the area from North Jersey when we found Learning Tree and were so happy to find ourselves here. My child thrived in the warm, caring, thoughtful, and highly educational program. Every day during the summer months, my child cried that she didn’t want to leave “her school” and move up to Kindergarten. Learning Tree is a blessing of a school, super sweet community, and we had a PreK year we all cherish fondly!”

“I have two daughters that attend here. My youngest (15 months) started about a 1.5 months ago after having a horrendous experience at another daycare center. At this other center - they straight up hated my daughter. They said she cried all the time and they had basically turned in the towel with her, as if she was such a bad baby that there was just no hope for her. I even got early intervention involved to try to help the situation. After MONTHS of trying to make it work, the therapists actually told me to switch to a different daycare, it was hopeless. So you can imagine how lost I felt, and concerned that this would be a problem regardless of where we went. Well, almost immediately it was apparent that was not going to be the case at Lightbridge academy. Although it did take a few weeks for her to fully adjust, it was made clear to me from the beginning that her need for more attention did NOT bother them and they would HELP her through this. Well they did that - and then some. Im crying writing this because I can finally go to work and not worry about her ALL day.

After seeing her progress and the difference in daycare centers we decided to switch our older daughter too. She is still adjusting as she's only been there a few weeks but we know she is in great hands. I can't thank the staff enough! When choosing a daycare the location matters, the hours of operation matter, etc etc - but the staff really is everything! They are basically the most important people in my life right now - they take care of my children. I recommend this Lightbridge academy 100%.”

“The staff and teachers here provided my daughter with a safe space during a tough time for our family. It is a warm and nurturing place and I am incredibly grateful for our time spent there.”

“Ive worked in early childhood education for 20 years. So deciding where to send my daughter to school was an important decision . When we went on our tour of MMA I was blown away by the beautiful classroom design, the love and care of the staff , the attention to detail that Montessori believes in that shined in every aspect of the school and every child’s smiling face we saw along the way .My daughters first year of school has been a dream come true . She has developed such important skills beyond the alphabet and numbers. Her confidence and love of herself , her friends , her teachers , and the world around her are all a wonderful foundation for her life of learning . I have had the privilege to work in many schools over my career. Ive never experienced anything like what MMA has to offer children and their families . Each child’s unique abilities are given the space to shine. We have found our home and community here .”

“I don't usually write reviews, but my child had such a good experience here, i just wanted to share. He was a little nervous at first but Inna and her staff made it so welcoming for him that he could not wait to go to school in the morning. When we first got there he was non-verbal and did not play well with the other children. He is now talking, sharing and playing nice with other kids. Our overall experience here has been nothing but positive. We are sad to be leaving, but look forward to be coming back for summer camp.”

“One of the highest quality education institutions in the state of NJ. Not only are the studies rigourous, but they are challenging & thought provoking. In addition to education, CBA teaches the students respect, honesty, and how to lead exemplary lives. As a student, I was not only prepared for college but my life as a mature adult. Going to school here was one of the highlights of my life. One piece of advice that I would lend for students & future students: get involved with the clubs, sports, volunteering, extracurricular activities, and anything else the school has to offer. This school has so many great opportunities that build character, offer futher education, network with the community and much more.Religio Mores Cultura!”

“My husband and I have seen such tremendous growth in our 5 year old daughter in her years at Monmouth Day Care Center. Because we fell in love with the staff and beliefs here, we decided to enroll our infant daughter to follow in the same footsteps. Sending a six month old baby into a day care in the middle of a pandemic was never something that we thought we would have to do. We have never felt safer leaving our baby with the staff of Monmouth Day Care Center each day. The director takes every precaution necessary to keep each child safe. The amount of times they needed to shut down has been incredibly minimal, and the few times they were closed were out of caution and having safety be the utmost priority. Monmouth Day Care Center is incredibly clean, has amazing and loving staff that will do everything they can for our children and the office staff is in constant communication with parents regarding anything out of the ordinary that is going on with our children. My family and I will never run out of enough good things to say about this day care. Definitely recommend them to anyone seeking reliable child care!”

“Tiny treasures has been absolutely wonderful & a true god send to our family. Everyone is wonderful there! With a couple other daycares to compare too, I have never felt so secure & confident with my boys care than ever before. They truly think about the families at a whole. So appreciate the date night opportunity after hours as an added bonus- we haven’t hired a sitter thus far! My boys are happy to go to school and in great moods as they are picked up as well. I love that there is a curriculum & love all the art work sent home daily. So blessed to be a part of the Tiny Treasures Family. Thank you for all that you do!”

“Kiddie academy is the best daycare! every single staff member should get a raise! Thank you guys fr! The staff does their best with your kids. Thank you guys for being so patient & putting up with so much. I will always be grateful of this school. Thank you for helping my daughter so much. God bless you guys fr.”
