All throughout their elementary school years their teachers always inquired where they attended pre-school. The education they received was priceless. The warm, nurturing environment of Turtle Creek is what makes it so special. Virginia McDonald has given children a place where they can truly learn and flourish. Mrs. Capelluti, Mrs. Vanasco, Mrs. Kratchie and Mrs. G. are truly all very special teachers who have been at Turtle Creek for many years and continue to make this school the wonderful place that is. My children still attend enrichment classes at Turtle Creek and I'm proud to say we've been part of the Turtle Creek family for almost 14 years now. Don't look any further. This school is amazing!

Such a horribly run daycare. The director/owner (Jill) has no personal skills and no ideas about…read morechild development. She tells parents the kids need therapy when they are doing normal developmental behaviors. Instead of teaching the behaviors that should be used (ie not hitting, throwing toys) they punish the kids and make the kids feel like they are bad. She calls the parent of the child that got hit to pin the parent against other parents. When the daycare opened, the teachers were great and taught the kids. All those teachers left after the first year the school was opened. Now there is no learning and only playing. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone!

The owners along with the entire staff are such kind, special and highly qualified people who really do care and give individual attention to each child and their respective families. Bloom offers a challenging and motivating curriculum, fun activities that are age appropriate and flexible schedules.

We highly recommend Bloom Academy to everyone and anyone. We will be sad to see our daughter graduate this upcoming school year but we will always cherish the moments and memories that Bloom has given us.

There are a lot of events he holds throughout the year for the kids and parents. This Goddard is flexible for parents .

Freehold Montessori School was my (now four-year old) daughter's first introduction to a…read moreclassroom/learning environment and we could not have been more grateful and appreciative of the entire experience. Nothing has compared to the peace of mind of dropping her off every day knowing that she was being thoughtfully developed in a safe and joyful environment by an academic staff that would embrace her individualism while instilling within her the skills to become a life-long learner. Honestly, our only regret was not enrolling our daughter sooner. While I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school, here are the most immediate that come to mind: 1. Ms. Margaret - If only we could clone Ms. Margaret and put her into every classroom across the country! She is truly an effective teacher that is passionate about sparking curiosity in her students and ensuring they are given the tools to maximize their potential. She effortlessly goes beyond "textbook" teaching to insert micro lessons about everyday life. The students are constantly learning in a fun and memorable way. Ms. Margaret also understands that every student is different, she is very tailored in her engagement. While we did not have the pleasure of working with teachers from the other buildings, I have to assume they are just as spectacular and aligned with the overall vision and philosophy of the school. 2. Relatedly, we were very appreciative of the thorough parent-teacher/director feedback loop at FMS. Parent-teacher conferences are in-depth and productive. We were given the details of our daughter's performance, saw samples of her work, side by side progress in her writing, and tangible examples of her day-to-day/contributions to various activities in the classroom. We were given the gift of learning about our daughter in a completely different setting and were able to understand areas we could reinforce at home. 3. Similarly, the school director - Ms. Yogi - is prompt, accessible and always acting in the best interests of the students. If we ever needed anything, she was very responsive, took action immediately and was incredibly thoughtful in following-up. During my initial tour of the school with Ms. Yogi, I noticed that she not only knew each student across all three buildings by name - but she truly understood each child and their personality/needs. She is an impressive leader and has cultivated a nurturing and emotionally secure environment for her students, while delivering excellence in academics. Within the first few minutes of speaking with Ms. Yogi, I knew this was the school for my daughter. Having meticulously researched and visited most preschools within the area - I can say FMS operates in a class of its own. There is no other school out there that provides a nurturing, yet academically enriching and diverse learning sanctuary. I am confident that any parent enrolling their child here will be just as pleased with their experience.

Marlboro Montessori Academy is a wonderful school. There are so many reasons why I am happy that I…read morechose to send my son here. I love that Marlboro Montessori is a family owned business and not a franchise. The owner is a Montessori teacher and is always there. She has owned the school for 39 years. I feel very confident that my child is receiving a rich education that is rooted in tradition and continues to change and grow with the times. The large campus is beautiful. He has so much fun on the playground and in the sandbox. He can't wait until summer camp to swim in the pool and play in Marlboro Montessori's new splash park!! I can't wait either. I love walking into MMA and seeing so many smiling faces.

Their dedication and care, along with the wonderful families in my children's classes, made our experience worthwhile. Ultimately, we decided to leave because of our interactions with the director. In my experience, the school was consistently understaffed, tuition was high, and communication about my child's progress, lessons, and classroom activities was very limited unless I reached out myself. I also found the director's comments about parenting to be unprofessional and, at times, inappropriate. Rather than offering constructive guidance, the feedback often felt judgmental. For the cost of tuition, I expected a higher level of professionalism and communication. While I truly appreciate the teachers and everything they did for my family, I believe there are better options available.

We were drawn to A Step Ahead because of its small class sizes and excellent teacher-to-student ratio, which has made such a positive difference for our son. I'm not sure why it matters that the new owner also has an autism practice. If anything, I see that as a huge advantage. She and her staff are knowledgeable, compassionate, and experienced in working with all types of children. My son, who is not autistic, has absolutely flourished there and is genuinely excited to go to school every day. The staff has been incredibly communicative, accommodating, and kind. We have felt at home there right away. The classrooms are clean, welcoming, and filled with engaging toys, and my son can't stop talking about his favorite part of the day - the staff! He's always asking when he can see Miss Holly, Miss Jodie, and the rest of his teachers! Every child and family has a different experience, but ours has been nothing but positive. We are so grateful to have found A Step Ahead and would absolutely recommend it to any family looking for a caring, nurturing preschool where children are truly supported and encouraged to thrive
