Our son attended Lightbridge Academy of Freehold for two years prior to our family relocating to…read morenorthern Monmouth County. Overall, my wife and I were very happy with this facility and if it were still practical to send our son there, we would. As with any new parents, we were very nervous about picking a daycare as everyone has a horror story. Two things stand out about LB of Freehold which ultimately eased our concerns: 1) The owners care. From day one Vita and Nicole were incredibly welcoming and professional. Not a day went by where we were not met with a friendly greeting. If there was a concern, they were always receptive and willing to set aside time to listen and take action when necessary. 2) The facility was modern (opened around 2015) and very clean. Every night each classroom along with all the toys were cleaned and disinfected. Did our son get sick? Yes, of course he did, it's daycare, but it was not excessive and was not a result of the facility being dirty (I'll hold the commentary on parents dropping off kids that are already sick). The teachers my son had (Infants / mobile infants /1.5-2.5 years) were great. All cared and all were in control of their classrooms and there was no turnover during my son's tenure (Ms Meryl in the infant room was incredibly caring and really helped our sons transition to DC). The owners made good hires. Some turnover was noted at the teacher aide level, but that is to be expected. Finally, and most importantly our son enjoyed being there. He never protested going in the morning and was always happy when we picked him up. Being around other kids on a daily basis has helped him develop socially. This is evident when I see him around other toddlers who have not spent time with their peers. If you have reasonable expectations, this is a great daycare and I would recommend to anyone looking in the Freehold area.

Owner Rachel has 2 college degrees including a Master Degree in education. She was professional and engaging and took us on a tour of the new facility. She has worked as an administrator and teacher in this field for many years. Has Indoor and outdoor play areas. Outdoor area is secured by metal barriers. Staff has extensive training including CPR. Was impressed.

We absolutely love Kiddie Academy of Freehold. The teachers and the staff are fantastic. My boys…read moreare excelling in every area of their development. Every day my three year old says something to me and when I ask, where'd you learn that, he tells me Miss Cindy! They have done a great job with the COVID precautions and worked through any hiccups very smoothly. Even with the somewhat of a disconnect (parents aren't allowed in the facility) the staff and especially Miss Lauren go out of their way to keep me informed about my one year olds development and what we can be working on at home. We would highly recommend Kiddie Academy to anyone looking for a top notch daycare/school facility in the area.

Both of our sons went here- so we've experienced both the infant/toddler care and the preschool…read more You will not find a more caring group of people entrusted to your children. Jaime, the director, keeps the school spotless. All of the teachers are thoughtful, creative, kind to our children, and very loved! From Halloween parades, holiday performances, and spring concerts/graduation there are tons of opportunities for parent involvement and activities. During the summer the school has camp-like activities: tattoos and face paint, arts and craft days, as well as water play. It was nerve wracking to put an infant in daycare during the pandemic, but I know we made the right choice with Gold Star!

This is a family orientated gym. Not for the serious/competing lifter. They do not allow you to…read morebring your own equipment, even if you take it back home with you. I'm specifically referring to my 200lb sandbag. I'm allowed to squat 500lbs, deadlift 600lbs, and leg press 800, but 200lbs was too heavy/dangerous!? Go figure. The roof leaked during heavy rain in the recent past, and caused me to slip and get injured. I was offered nothing for my pain/suffering. The staff can sometimes be found sitting on stationary bikes watching tv while the gym needs attention. However, after a few decades I can at least say the equipment is up to date. There are a lot of amenities (basketball court, pool, sauna, indoor track....just to name a few). The gym is clean, and the other gym-goers are friendly. Issues brought to the attention of staff are addressed. 5/5 if you're looking for a family gym, 3/5 for myself and anyone serious about fitness or competing in strength sports. They do offer a military discount, and I value that greatly.

My child has been attending The Goddard School since she was nine months old. The staff are really…read morecaring and loving and really try to nurture the children. As a current staff in the building, children can be difficult and it's hard when we have a lot of children at once but we make it work and make them feel safe throughout the day. We dedicate our time to these students and make sure that they are well taken care of. My child loves going to school and I wouldn't change going anywhere else for her. This is one of the best daycares and the tuition is reasonable.

The owners along with the entire staff are such kind, special and highly qualified people who really do care and give individual attention to each child and their respective families. Bloom offers a challenging and motivating curriculum, fun activities that are age appropriate and flexible schedules. They also have additional, external services and activities conveniently offered to the children onsite (i.e. Speech, Dance and Amazing Athletes to name a few.). We highly recommend Bloom Academy to everyone and anyone. We will be sad to see our daughter graduate this upcoming school year but we will always cherish the moments and memories that Bloom has given us.

Such a horribly run daycare. The director/owner (Jill) has no personal skills and no ideas about…read morechild development. She tells parents the kids need therapy when they are doing normal developmental behaviors. Instead of teaching the behaviors that should be used (ie not hitting, throwing toys) they punish the kids and make the kids feel like they are bad. She calls the parent of the child that got hit to pin the parent against other parents. When the daycare opened, the teachers were great and taught the kids. All those teachers left after the first year the school was opened. Now there is no learning and only playing. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone!
