So, first, I am going to appear a little confrontational to "DL's" comment... and simply because I…read moreLOVE Goddard, and my (well mannered/well articulate) child has been attending Goddard since 10 months... What "research" can one do on daycare beyond a friend's recommendation (and to each their own), or to Yelp reviews (so take what you want from my personal experience...) And here's my background from a scholastic standpoint: I have a degree in psychology and studied in early education course work from TCNJ and I grew up in Bergen County, which any article/study will show has the top of the top public school ratings (my point, I'm no dummy and education is very important to me- curriculum and quality of staff.) Not caring and loving?... not at all. The staff is personable and always available and if as a parent you make your self known then the staff is well aware of your (and your child's of course) presence and any personal/specific needs. For example, I pack my four year old's school lunch with mostly organic and all natural food, and they CALL me if there is even an Ice Truck coming to school during the summer curriculum to make sure it is okay with me as the parent. I appreciate that during the age that is exactly what it is "PRE school" that this staff recognizes the parents as leaders in what is best for their child. The curriculum was very strong and progressive? I am type A and have an advanced child for his group and yet he ENJOYS going to school and talks about his day... simply because he is learning something new. The kids are good in the school. This school allows for variety and exploring and most importantly (for ME) is remains a fun and caring and 'everyone knows your name' environment. I am not a parent to 'leave it up to the school/daycare' to make strides with my child; that I put on myself, but to each their own. The Goddard in Wall I am not familiar with BUT I have not heard positive reviews at that location and I worked ten years down the road in Manasquan. Still, keep in mind, that Goddard is a franchise so operationally the "curriculum" is basically required to be the same - the people/staff are not. I WOULD recommend anyone to the Goddard in BRICK; I have friends in Brielle and recommend the Goddard of Brick over the one in Wall. The teachers in Brick are from Brick, and the public school system in Brick is rating SO poorly sadly even at the elementary school level that once my child completes his year of Pre-K at Goddard, we have decided moving to the Red Bank area... Brick is terrible with its school district fyi. I felt VERY fortunate to have Goddard of Brick operate as it does with its professionalism; and friendly/caring; and concerned staff... our kids are babies if they are going to any daycare, to what 8 schools are you comparing??

Peppermint Tree is excellent when you have an only child! Even if you don't require child care,…read moreaffording your child that social interaction is huge for their growth! It is also an excellent place to prepare your child for Kindergarten so they won't go in overwhelmed and scared. At home we can provide structure and learning tools but it just isn't the same as a true school environment. My son gets excited to see his teachers & his friends. He looks forward to gardening, dance parties and art projects. His overall growth has also jumped leaps and bounds from when he first started last year. So much so we extended his hours from half to full day! We also LOVE that the classes are small & the teachers build a close relationship w/ every child. Touring other schools was quite scary seeing kids screaming and overwhelmed staff. I can assure you Peppermint Tree is not and never will be that way! You also have a built in Summer Camp w/ 2 pools to accommodate all age groups. Did I mention swimming lessons, class trips, gardening, ice cream days, etc? All those things are either part of class or an option to add on. So if you are on the fence about where or if you are going to enroll your child, Peppermint Tree is definitely the Best Choice!

My child was enrolled in Peppermint Tree's summer camp. He was there for 5 hours and he was out…read more(playground & pool) from 10:30 am until 11:30 am. Then they'd go inside from noon until 3 pm. This was their time to eat and sleep! Their naptime was 2 hours. So, if you want your 4.5 year old toddler to go to summer camp and nap for 2 hours this is your place. There were no other activities as promised on the schedule we were emailed to before camp began. The schedule showed that they were going to do arts, science and so many fun things. When I asked if he was doing any of these things I was told by his teachers that most of these were happening during his pool time. Really? Isn't the establishment's responsibility to ensure that all groups get to do these "fun things?" Why should a 4.5 yr old eat and sleep from 12 pm - 3 pm. There is plenty of time for his "teachers" to read books, engage them in fun/educational activities while they're inside. So really, all that money we paid for was only for 2 hours (run around in the playground and use the pool). Our child didn't learn anything, there were no educational activities as the written schedule showed, and we basically paid for 5 hours, 3 out of which were eat and sleep! I don't recommend this place whether it is for summer camp or as a daycare. Unless you want to use it as a babysitting place, sure, then it's fine. Just don't expect your child to learn here...
