Imagine sitting amongst parents in the audience for a school show and your little daughter being…read morethe ONLY one that was excluded from a father/daughter dance. That's what Gold Material (Kings Hwy) did to us in 2015. Their excuse? My husband is not Russian and wouldn't understand dance instruction. Mind you, the school instruction is not in Russian, and my 3yr old daughter spoke Russian fluently and could recite Pushkin's 3 page poems by heart. Their reasoning (that my husband is not Russian) was documented on email (they responded to me via email, see attached screenshot). I, of course raised a big stink about it and they promptly "dismissed" my child from their school - 2 months before her official preschool graduation and 1 month before her birthday. Once our attorney contacted them, they tried to change the story and lie that we were late with payments. Of course, I had screenshots of their payment screens as they forgot to take away our login access and our bank statements proving our timely payments. The admins/owners of the school are despicable, rude and have zero empathy (could it be a sign of certain disorder?) Owners Alexandr and his daughter in law Varvara Radimushkina are obnoxious, rude and treat parents with primitive "fresh off the boat from Russia" tendency. See other reviews that specifically talk about the administration's rudeness. Here's an example: The school turns off all lights and leaves children to sit in pitch darkness 10 mins after school closing. Having been late just 1 time to pick up my child due to severe snowstorm traffic, I personally witnessed this first hand. Send your child to this school at your own risk.

My daughter has been attending Gold Material since she was 2.5 yrs old…read more Now she will turn 4 and absolutely loves the school. Teachers are professionals and well trained. From good exposure to arts and science to social activities that encourage children to become fully aware of their surroundings. The school is fairly diverse, which is so important for my mixed-race family.

This was a terrific place that we sent our kids to for a variety of reasons. The staff here is…read moreabsolutely 100% top notch and truly treat the children in the most wonderful and compassionate way. As a parent, I felt really good about dropping off my kids here as I knew they were taken care of very well. The place is very clean and the curriculum is engaging. I can tell how much my children enjoy it as they do a great job of sending daily updates and photos which really help us get a good grasp of what they do all day. Also, my kids always left with a big smile on their faces. This only happens when the people who operate this place truly care about the children. I can say my experience was about as good as it gets and we absolutely plan on bringing the kids back very soon. I noticed there were some legacy negative reviews that were tied to the previous ownership - but speaking from experience I can say unequivocally that this daycare is absolutely pristine and the right place to send my kids to. We've had some good and not so good experiences with other options and Genesis is without doubt on top of the list as I feel confident they take great care of the kids and keep parents regularly updated with their daily communication. Highly recommended.

We recently moved to suburbs but leaving this school was by far the hardest part of moving. They truly love and care for the kids and in the 9 months my son was here, I saw him absolutely THRIVE. Ms.Braxton and her team are incredibly competent, kind, and hard-working. I'm a first time parent and leaving my son so I could go back to work was incredibly challenging, but Ms.Braxton made it easier because I knew he was in such good hands every day. Hands-down the best daycare in Hoboken!

After much care, thought and extensive research, I made the best choice by deciding to send my…read moredaughter to Hudson Montessori School in Jersey City for several reasons: 1. I was looking for a quality education experience for my daughter that was geared towards her individual needs. The Montessori Method of self-directed activity, hands-on learning and teacher guidance of children to make good choices, greatly appealed to me. In my opinion, Hudson Montessori excelled in this area with quality and experienced teachers. 2. It was important to me that my African American daughter attends a school that honors and respects diversity. Hudson Montessori does an excellent job at celebrating the diversity of its students through parent-led cultural presentations. Children are free to explore and ask questions as they are exposed to cultural celebrations from all backgrounds. 3. Lastly, I absolutely love the concept of choosing a major theme for each school year for the children to learn about certain subjects throughout the year. The annual Social Studies Fair is an excellent event that allows us to see just how much information the children have learned as they study the theme from the beginning of the school year to the end. 4. The selection of after school programs is second to none. There is an activity offered for just about every child's interests including yoga, art, chess, tennis, gymnastics, healthy cooking and more. 5. Parental involvement is just as important and Hudson Montessori has a very active parent volunteer organization. Parents are encouraged to help out in a variety of ways - through in-class presentations, movie nights, fundraisers or volunteering to assist at the Social Studies Fair. There are lots of ways to stay active. In addition, every month there are parent education nights where we can learn more about the Montessori Method and the types of materials our children use in the classrooms. 6. Lastly, the Year-End Celebration is a fantastic performance where our children have the opportunity to showcase their talents and gain confidence. This is my daughter's 4th year with Hudson Montessori and I couldn't be happier with the results. When she says "Mommy, I love school" that is the best compliment I believe that any school administrator, teacher and parent could hear. I know that I made the right choice! Thank you Ms. Jolly (Director), Ms. Maki and Ms. Gina (school administrators), Ms. Tia, Ms. Alia and Ms. Caridad, Ms. Denise, Ms. Mariana and Ms. Mahrukh for taking care of her for the past 3 years. Now that she has started first grade, I know that she's in capable hands with Ms. Shannon and Ms. Gina A.
