The price of the class includes all the materials and instruction. You can bring your own food and drinks but they offered us bottled water and cookies, which I greatly appreciated. If making a blanket isn't your thing they have lots of other classes to choose from. The space is large and clean. There is plenty of space to really get crafty. I will definitely return again!

Pop Quiz: Where can I get a three course lunch prepared by aspiring Michelin star chefs for under…read more$10? Answer: Ocean County Vocational - Technical School in Brick. Perhaps this is common knowledge in the neighboring senior communities among the early bird special crowd, but it's a new discovery for me after having lived in Brick over twelve years. There's a culinary school at OCVTS in their Brick location. During the school year, they offer lunch from 11:30 to 2:30 I believe from Wednesday to Friday. So I stopped by yesterday to check it out. Apparently each day they have a theme. Yesterday it was Southern /Cajon. For my appetizer, I ordered the a chicken and andouille sausage gumbo, which was redolent with the flavor of the dark tan roux and was well seasoned, and to my surprise, mildly (for me) spiced even before I added the Tabasco sauce. It was a well made gumbo. I initially ordered the fried chicken entre, which came with collard greens and mac and cheese. I love collard greens and these were well prepared, as was the mac and cheese (To be honest, mac and cheese is a dish that you have to go out of your way to screw up.). However, the fried chicken was not as deftly prepared. Granted, it was three huge pieces of chicken, the size of my head (I can see why this place is popular with the senior crowd). First, it was was smothered in gravy. Now, that's not really a critism in itself, but I don't like anything on the chicken after it's fried so it stays crispy. But as soon as I put the fork into the thigh piece the entire breading seemed to slide off. Apparently they have to revisit frying 101, as do ssooo many commercial cooks. Realizing that this is a school, I felt bad sending it back, but I really wanted to enjoy the meal. So ignoring the Italian tradition of not eating fish with cheese, I ordered the blackened catfish with a Parmesan breading crust. The fish was well cooked, but the crust was overly salty. The meal was rounded out with chocolate rice pudding (now that's thinking out of the box!) that was very good. All through the meal I had unlimited refills of their excellent home brewed ice tea and some good coffee at the end Total tab $ 7.00, not including tip. How can you beat that? There were a few hiccups as I've pointed out. I wasn't pulling my punches because it's a school. But, for around the price of a happy meal you get great quality freshly prepared food served with cloth napkins. Next time I'm doing errands in Brick and want a bite for lunch, it's not gonna be pizza.

We are so glad we found A B Seas for our princess. We were new in town and the area in general, but…read morefrom the first visit to our daughter's first day they have been fantastic. Finding the right place to take care of the most important person in you life isn't always easy, but we 100% made the right choice. The teachers are all amazing, Gloria, Sidney, Liz, everyone really. They are so loving, caring and involved with each child. Tina, the owner is so helpful and friendly. You really feel like family here. They even held a get together with bouncy house, food, etc. It was so great to meet the other teachers and parents. My daughter is happy to go there every morning and just lights up when she is dropped off (when was the last time you felt that way about "school?") and she even gets a little grumpy when she leaves. They take such good care of her and you can see the pure joy in all the kids from the photos they post. The facility is clean, convenient and well maintained. I honestly can't recommend them enough. Of all the places we looked this was the only one that truly felt "right."

I've been meaning to write this review for a while. I had my son in A, B, Seas from the time he…read morewas one till he was almost two. Tina and her employees are wonderful. A, B, Seas has a real familial feel. They took care of my son better than I could have hoped and that became even more clear when we moved away, and I had to put my son in a different daycare. The new daycare is good, but it doesn't hold a candle to A, B, Seas. The child to caretaker ratio is similar, and what they do with the children seems to be similar, but I can't put a price on the personal touch Tina uses in her business. We felt like part of the family, and I always felt like my son was truly cared for when he was there. It is a stressful thing to leave your child with people you don't really know (sometimes it's stressful to leave your child with people you do know).. If you have the opportunity to get your child into A, B, Seas - don't stress and don't hesitate. You will be happy you did.

Apple hill review…read more Would give apple hill 0 stars if I could! My family usually loves to build up others and their businesses, so this was very difficult to write. We sent our young daughter to Apple Hill and trusted the staff with our baby girl. However, I am heartbroken to say that she is about to turn 2 years old, and on her birthday will be littered with welts and bruises. It breaks my heart when we look back on photos of this milestone she is going to ask me "daddy why so I have so many injuries?" The staff at Apple Hill was not only condescending, but dismissive of our constant concerns of our daughters repeated injuries. (It also seemed the language barrier between us was something they heavily used to their advantage). I want to be very clear that I understand that toddlers are still learning to walk and are not always stable on their feet. I understand that sometimes babies do get hurt. But there is a difference between the occasional bump and scrape versus consistent and nearly constant injuries on a nearly daily basis. Not to mention, this facility should be baby proof! I expect if she falls she would be protected! Her injuries were constant. I had clients at my job questioning me as to why every time they saw my daughter she had a new injury. Some of these clients see my daughter once or twice a month! She was picked up 2-3 days in a row with new lumps on her head. The black eye she received has left a scar. Each time I look at it, I feel I failed her. The worst part was seeing my daughter so badly bruised, knowing the people that were supposed to protect her were the ones who couldn't give me any answers. When I asked for documentation, they had none when I asked for video they had none. They also suggested watching the live stream video from their lobby, but if I was able to sit and watch my daughter all day from their lobby, I would've had her in my home where I knew she would be safe. Instead, I was working to give her the best life possible. Instead of listening and trying to reassure us, they downplayed our feelings and tried to pass off some of these wounds as bug bites. However, after taking her to a doctor, it was confirmed they were welts and bruises and not bug bites. Sadly, I do not feel comfortable, leaving our daughter in their care anymore, as they had no idea what was going on with her. I fear I will never know if it was a staff member, another child, or unsafe facilities. I also learned many new things about this facility only after my concerns were brought to light, such as at the end of the day all ages of children are brought together, and the teachers couldn't explain how she got hurt which means they weren't watching her. I don't write this review to hurt them because tarnishes a reputation doesn't bring me joy, I write it to hopefully protect another child from injury.

They took 8 hours a day worth of subsidy money that I get for my child when he was only going 4 hours a week and still made us pay a copay. This place use to be good until they got new owners and now this place is a nightmare. They also keep all the kids in one class for a good part of the morning cause they don't have enough staff. So you have 2 year Olds with 4 and 5 year olds. I pray no body has to go through what we went through with my son. If they kept the childrem busy and not just sitting then maybe the children wouldnt get into things.

Update: Protective Child Services investigation it turns out their camera system is only available for "live viewing" and there are no recordings. What this means is if anything happens in that facility to your child they will not be able to protect your child. Very irresponsible and dangerous for both children and staff that attend this facility. Sounds extremely shady. Parents I suggest a rigorous vetting process of this daycare before putting your child in a facility that has inadequate protections and precaution policies.

Years of one of these days ended the moment I walked into the Manalapn studio and was greeted with such warmth and excitement. From the owners to the teachers and the amazing receptionist everyone's main goal is to ensure you bring out the very best in yourself. You are instructed at your pace as an Individual and at the same time encouraged by the group of fellow students who all remember walking in as a new student. The benefits of dance are too innumerable to list but a few of my favs are increased stamina, improved coordination, core strengthening. Learning amazing dances like The Waltz, The Tango, Bachata, Salsa and Swing, just to name a few, are a bonus! Availability of classes 6 days a week and countless studio parties are part of the added benefits of being an Arthur Murray Student!!!! This review wouldn't be complete without extolling the highly trained and incredibly patient team of teachers at AM-Manalapan, Green Brook, and Highland Park.
