His entire staff is impeccably trained - everyone always has a smile and warm/welcoming words (and it's not fake, it's the culture there). Not only are the facilities great (GAGA pits, 2 pools, high ropes course, giant zip line, archery, arts & crafts, drama, etc etc and fields for: baseball, soccer, flag football and lacrosse...the kids even get to play dodge ball) but the staff is simply amazing - incredibly supportive and patient, always there to help and encourage. Campers not only learn how to win but more importantly they learn how to lose and have sportsmanship. The camp has an underlying philosophy based around helping each child become their superstar self - excelling at something. They also teach how to be social with their peers, how to be a good citizen, how to take responsibility...basically how to be a good person in all aspects of their lives. The five pillars of Oak Crest's "Code of Living" are" · Integrity · Responsibility · Leadership · Resilience · Fellowship In addition to all of this - Oak Crest offers free lifetime camp experiences to children of Military/Police families that have fallen on hardships!

Not sure if it is a racial issue going on at the JCC but the vibe is definitely there. As I already don't see many African Americans there, it is prevalent that they will accept your money but hold you to a standard that non African Americans are held to.

Not only do they have all the essential machines, they have a basketball court, swimming pools, sauna, steam room, showers, yoga/HITT classes and a great/clean atmosphere. Very family orientated organization with great security to make you feel safe and protected. The icing on the cake is the employees and management are super nice. They do it right at the JCC to the gym, amenities, staff, security and even the little kids camp/school they have, the kids look like they're having a great time and making lots of friendships. Highly recommended. Side Note: (not from SF, Ca but from Bridgewater, NJ) local reviewer/critic.

The Goddard School Long Hill is excellent!

I cannot recommend the Goddard School of Long Hill enough! We eagerly anticipated opening day and…read morewe have not been disappointed. We met with various preschools in the area and none felt exactly right until we met with Sumara, one of the owners of the Goddard School of Long Hill. Her excitement and passion were evident from the first meeting (and I should note, have not waivered since). After researching the school's philosophy and considering some of our own personal experiences with the Goddard franchise, we made our decision. While waiting for opening day our son attended a different preschool and as kids will do, he picked up some negative behaviors and began saying he did not like school or learning. This was obviously very upsetting for all of us. However, within just a few weeks at Goddard we noticed a huge difference in him. He now loves school and we no longer have morning struggles and tears. He runs into the classroom each morning with excitement. His teacher is absolutely amazing and having the owners onsite and involved makes a big difference as well. The school is clean and bright and welcoming. We are so glad to be a part of the Goddard family!

He doesn't go to daycare so this is a nice way to get his energy out and interact with other kids. The instructor okay. Young guy, friendly. We visit once a week and find it to be worth it for my 15 month old. We're able to see him come out of his shell also. Location has good parking. Stairs, and an elevator around the back.

We tried out a couple of other kid's gyms in the area prior to signing up, but we liked Gymboree the most! The reason we liked Gymboree the most was because they have skills that they teach the kids during group time, such as "Over and Under", "Hard and Soft", "Push and Pull", etc. This was different from the other gyms in which group time consisted of taking turns swinging on a bar or sitting on a play mat with balls underneath. Our Instructor is Ms. Carrie and she is very sweet! She greets Ryan as soon as we walk in and knows all the kids names (even the new kids who just come for try outs). She is really friendly and does a great job of getting all the kids together during group time. I also really like how they change around the play area every 3 weeks or so to match whatever skills they have planned for the kids. This helps as they never get bored. Also, they do a really great job of keeping the whole facility clean- not a trace of dust or stains anywhere! Lastly, both the kids and parents are very friendly here. Parents stay close and are attentive to their kids. 5 stars to Gymboree in Westfield!

We just celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday party! It was absolutely amazing…read moreIt was so well organized and the children were so well looked after. Not only did they host a OUTSTANDING gymnastic party with activities, a bouncy house, trampoline and obstacle course.... They took care of everything, from set up to breakdown!! Including: 1. Asking me what I needed help with at each step 2. group picture of the kids 3. Helping pass out the food 4. Getting everyone organized before singing happy birthday 5.cake cutting & passing out desserts And that the gym was exclusively for us. Diamond, without a doubt went above and beyond our expectations!! And the best part was that both our daughters went home and took a nap!

My 2.5 year old had fun, but everything felt geared to even younger toddlers/babies...and that's who was mostly there. I didn't order coffee so I can't comment on that. However, you do have to wait on the same line for coffee to check in, even with an online reservation. It was frustrating to have a set time to be there (with a 2-hr play time limit) and then wait in line for 15 minutes just to go play.

The children play area is absolutely stunning with all parts of it designed with beautiful interior and decor. At floor level there are play area, climbing wall, a small market and in upper level there's make believe home, walkway to the giant slide. The children's party table is in the back. Also two restrooms including a family one. They have cute small sink and water filter for the kids too. Few sitting spots available around the play area to watch the kids. Through out the party the cafe employees assisted with handing out pizzas to the kids, organizing the cake cutting ceremony and finally wrapping up left over. They are strict with hours, so everything was wrapped up right on time. The cafe has their own hot and cold drinks, bakery goods and to go wraps. The cupcakes at the party were dry and hard. So I didn't have good impression of their food. But I'll surely recommend the play area to others.

One of our son's favorite spot was the "Market" lol anyway, we had fun taking pictures with Mickey and Minnie and loved the surprise Balloon drop. Bonus was the spacious parking lot across and babytown area for kids 2 and under. They can host private parties, and even have books and toys for sale. Now if only there was food and coffee for purchase! lol Either way, loved Neverland fun and their wonderful staff! Thank you! Will keep an eye out for other events!
