WooHooooo! As good as it gets:…read more I moved recently to Brooklyn but wanted to share how Over The Rainbow was my Fairy Godmother for many years. Whenever I would drop off my child, my intuition always knew that he was in great hands. The Director, Leslie Schubert, is precise in ensuring that all the staff are expertly trained and moreover, she hires staff that not only enjoy, but even love their job teaching and nurturing all the children. My son is now in a screened public school in New York City as of a few weeks ago but I wanted to share my positive experience as a way to say "Thank You" for all the love and support. OTR is a safe and happy place and the bonus, is all the learning and creativity that takes place. As a single Mom, knowing Over The Rainbow had my back by being a consistent resource in both my and my son's life, took so much of the pressure off of my shoulders. I am a research loon, and after comparing prices and discovering all the extra bells and whistles offered at Over The Rainbow, I chose this as his home-away-from-home. He had made so many friends and hand picking this daycare was a no-brainer! Do your research and follow your instincts. It's what I did and we couldn't have been happier or more satisfied. My son misses his pals but I'm thankful that, because he attended Over The Rainbow, he had an advantage over some of the other kids because he went into his new school with confidence, an open heart and earnestness to connect with his new friends and teachers. I will forever be grateful. Thank You Miss Leslie and all the other teachers who came through for us.

Highly recommend! Our son, age 5, is currently in his 2nd year at MFS and we could not be happier…read more When he first started in PK (last year), we immediately felt welcomed by the wonderful administration/teachers/staff led by (the very approachable and involved) Head of School, Julia de la Torre. The overall school atmosphere is like something out of a fairytale. From pick up to drop off, we are greeted with smiling faces, kind students, friendly parents and an overall feeling of inclusion. Academically, we were impressed with the curriculum at the PK and K levels. In addition to his normal class schedule, our son has two special-subject areas each day; one being Coding (taught by the amazing Rachel Kaplan). All special areas are wonderful, but as I understand it, MFS is the only school in NJ to teach Coding (which is the future) at the PK and K levels. We are planning to start our younger son, age 2, into the PS program next year as he will be old enough to enroll (age 3) by September.

Over the last five years, I have been often asked to recommend Moorestown Friends School. Although…read moreI am told by regular academic students' parents that they are happy, we were very unahppy with the education our creative/musican son received. He came from a private school in Philadelphia where he graduated top of his class, and won Pennsylvania awards for musicianship and was head chorister at his professional church choir. He is also now an award winning pianist and composer. His creativity was saved at MFS by Ed Robertson and Rich Marcucci - just wonderful artists and musicians. Other than that no one else seemed to care about his level of musicianship. During his junior year we asked for specific help about applying to creative and performing arts schools. During College admissions night, the guidance counselors admitted to us they had no process in place for developing our creative students' porfolios. After checking with Westtown School, Friends Central, Friends Select and Germantown Friends, we realized that MFS was really lacking in their ability to help our creative children. After spending $16,000 a year on our son's high school education we were truly disappointed in MFS's lack of help for our creative child and also their lack of folow up after the college admissions night. They really had no idea how to treat college applications for creative students. They only seemed to are about Ivy League level students and had no interest in their creative students. We would truly like to know whether things have changed. If not, I will continue to recommend Moorestown High School or one of the Philadelphia Friends Schools if parents have a creative child and live in this area. Renee Jones

So, here's my story…read more March of 2021, we registered to reserve a spot for our daughter to attend. We let the ladies at Chesterbrook know that we were looking to move, and made sure to verify that our deposit would be refundable should we move out of the area. A few months later, we did wind up moving too far to make Chesterbrook a viable option, and began the process of having our money returned to us. Fast forward to March of 2022, and the quest continues. We have called FOURTEEN TIMES, spoken to a dizzying amount of "Laurens" and even had the one person that was handling our request go on maternity leave. Think about that; the person that was supposed to see to our refund had time to get pregnant, began maternity leave, and our money is still not refunded. I have been told countless times that I will receive a phone call. I usually don't. I have called their parent company, Spring Education Group, who have ALSO ignored my voice messages. You can't leave a voice message at Chesterbrook, as their mailbox is full. We have been patient, polite, understanding and calm through this whole ordeal. The ladies at Chesterbrook are always very nice and respectful when we do get to interact with them, but it's obvious that once they have your money, you're no longer a priority. The school itself seemed pretty old and a bit worn when we took our tour, but because the staff seemed so pleasant, we decided to make sure we reserved a spot. (Another thing they were a hard sell on.....they made sure to impress upon us that we should reserve immediately, or the spots would be gone. Red flag.) If I had known communication would be so rough, I never would have signed up. All I want is my refund. My daughter never set foot in their school, yet they are holding on to almost $500 of my money.
