“My daughter enjoys attending daycare and has developed positive relationships with her teachers and classmates. The staff are caring, attentive, and communicate well with our family. I appreciate the activities that support her learning and development. The daycare provides a safe and welcoming environment, and I am happy with the care she receives.”

“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.”

“It’s been three years since I started sending my son to First Steps Early Learning Center, and I must say it’s one of the best learning centers in the neighborhood. The owners, Mr. Ricky and Mrs. Jennifer, are extremely kind and understanding. They truly make you feel like part of one big family, which I believe is so important for any learning center. The teachers and staff are all well-trained, caring, and experienced. Overall, it’s been a wonderful experience, and I’m so happy to see that my son genuinely enjoys going to daycare every day. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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.”

“We enrolled our kids, Darren and Jen, at KinderCare in Eatontown, and it’s been a great experience. What really stands out is how the staff treats them as individuals. Darren is more reserved, and they took the time to help him feel comfortable at his own pace. Jen is outgoing, and they’ve done a great job keeping her engaged and excited.

Both of them genuinely look forward to going every day, which says everything. The environment feels warm, supportive, and well run. We’re really happy we chose KinderCare in Eatontown and would highly recommend it.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Learning Tree! I would highly recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing, supportive preschool experience.

Tricia, the director, is incredibly communicative and organized. She always keeps families informed about upcoming events and school happenings well in advance. I also appreciate how involved the school is in the community, regularly supporting local food banks and encouraging families to give back.

One of my favorite aspects of The Learning Tree is its small size. My daughter’s class had two teachers for just eight students, which provided so much individual attention and care. She came home every day happy, excited, and full of stories about what she had learned. From songs and letters to important lessons about sharing, patience, and kindness, she grew so much during her time there.

The Learning Tree has been such a positive experience for our family, and we are incredibly grateful for the caring staff and wonderful environment they provide.”

“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 !”

“My children have gone to Kiddie Academy since they were infants and now will be graduating out of daycare in just a few weeks. Kiddie Academy has been so wonderful to us for 2 years. Excellent meals being offered, fun in class activities, and extracurriculars like Soccer Shots being offered are a few of the great programs they've been offered. The development of my children and growth they've made is such a testament to the amazing teachers they've had while there. We're so grateful to our Kiddie Academy family for seeing us through so many milestones. We'll miss you greatly, and are so lucky to have had such a wonderful daycare experience.”

“I would definitely recommend Lightbridge Academy to any parent! My twins started attending at just six months old with Miss Cynthia and Miss Kayah, who treated my babies as if they were their own. They helped me establish a routine, which has made a huge difference. Now, my children are in the next class with Miss Taylor and Miss Z, who are both very attentive and always teaching my kids new things. I also appreciate that they regularly send photos, keeping me updated throughout the day.

The daycare itself is very clean, and the cameras are a huge bonus for me as a parent. The director, Miss Stephanie, along with Kate, are absolutely amazing!! They genuinely care about the children and are always extremely helpful to parents.

My experience has been wonderful, and it’s truly a weight off my shoulders knowing my children are in a safe environment with loving staff members. Thank you, Lightbridge Academy in Eatontown, for everything!”

“Our daughter has been attending The Goddard School of Middletown since she was 5.5 months old. She's almost 2.5 now (where does the time go?!) and she is absolutely thriving. She has had the best, most kind and nurturing teachers! All of the educators and staff are great and we're so grateful to be part of this community.”

“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.”

“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 son transferred to Spice Tree from a corporate daycare center, and I can truly say that it’s his Home Away from Home. The own Jen is so passionate about what she does, she cares for her staff, so there is little turnover, and she knows and loves every kid and family under her care. One of the hardest decisions is choosing childcare for the loves of your life, and Spice Tree has made that decision so much easier, as I see it in my sons face every day as he smiles so big when we pull up to the school. The teachers are seasoned and design developmentally appropriate activities for the children, and communicate regularly with families on progress and concerns. The facilities are clean, and most importantly, secure. There are several activities/events held throughout the year that are the icing on the cake for an already all-inclusive school experience. I could not be happier, and highly recommend Spice Tree School for a nurturing, learning experience for your child! My son started in the infant room and just moved up to the toddler room, and the teachers slowly transitioned him, and informed me when he was ready. There’s no place else I would bring my son! Thank you Spice Tree staff for loving our children!”

“Monmouth Day Care Center is more than a place that provides childcare, it is a community. I have sent 3 children there across 4 years and have been so lucky to have them be part of our family. I have used them at every age for my children, 8 months through 5 years old! They are nurturing, flexible, communicative, understanding, and care not only about the families there, but the entire community. I would recommend over and over again!”

“We have been at bright kidz since we moved to Middletown and couldn’t be happier! Not only are our kids learning and thriving, the entire staff cares for them like they are their own. If you are looking for a childcare center, we highly recommend BrightKidz!!”
