We did it on the beautiful Manasquan River, which felt really private. Sandy has such a friendly, warm spirit and her yoga sequence on the SUP board was meditative and restorative (I think she knew just what I needed that day). Don't be fooled--it's a great workout too. And I can't wait to do it again!

What an amazing experience. This last Friday we hit the beach at the Belmar location for my…read moredaughters first surf lesson. We were immediately met with high energy well informed staff that got her set up without delay. My daughter (age 9) was taught about surf safety, board construction and practiced popping up on the beach for about 10 mins then it was straight to the surf. Her instructor was Hunter and was outstanding. Conditions were great and they were in the water for the remaining 1 hr 20 mins catching wave after wave. My daughter is hooked. All the staff that we ran into were very down to earth and very personable. We have 2 lessons left from the 3 pack we purchased, Summertime Surf is our spot!

The water safety training is real, the atmosphere relaxed and the lessons last a lifetime. The crew is excellent- the coolest folks on the beach- the crew treat the kids like younger siblings. They guide them, rib them and laugh with them the whole time. Our group stays half day. Each half day is organized to include yoga, free swim, races and of course riding waves! It is safe to leave the kids and enjoy free time. It's also ok to take advantage of the great photo opportunities too! For four years our group was at the Belmar location. With Covid, the Town of Belmar was not allowing any vendor groups. Both locations were ideal, there is a large tent for 'tent talk' , relief from the sun, and to store gear. There are plenty of staff and adjacent lifeguards in both locations and Summertime is constantly aware of weather and maritime conditions. Rash guards (yellow or red for Kiki camp) and wetsuits and boards are all available to use on site! Dont hesitate, sign your kids up!

We worked together live once a week (give or take around holidays and vacations), and I was assigned work to do on my own for each lesson. It definitely takes discipline ...and in 6.5 months, I PASSED the exam! Working with Prof. Means was ESSENTIAL to my success. He is focused on a well-rounded approach that included all aspects of learning the language. There is ZERO way I would have passed this exam so quickly without him. The live engagement led to drastic improvement in my listening and speaking skills. In addition, I have thoroughly enjoyed every session and my confidence has grown. Even though I achieved my goal, I continue to work with Prof. Means to improve my skills. Would gladly serve as a reference for anyone who is interested in engagement with the Means Language Center!!

I cannot in good conscience rate any higher, because to put it simply, the instructor is a piece of work. It's hard to drive well when you're forced to listen to a bitter woman talk about some downright bigoted garbage for two hours straight. I'm white, so maybe she'd thought I would be on her side when she talked down to every other race. And she had the nerve to say she wasn't racist during my last session. It was exhausting, I was dreading every lesson after the first one. She loves the sound of her own voice, I would try to make conversation and she would just steer the topic back to herself and her story and her awful opinions. Even if I did happen to agree with her views, it's unprofessional how much she tried to talk politics with me. Well, talk politics at me, not with me. Request her son if you really want to go here, I have heard he's nothing like her and is actually pleasant to be around.

We are always discussing what types of experiences will support him and allow him to grow into who he is and what he is here to be.

We concluded that Maria Montessori's method of learning would support our child in reaching his full potential...in a naturally occuring process....and most importantly a process he would LOVE. From the moment you pull up to the school it is evident something wonderful is happening here. A beloved community of children and families who radiate kindness, joy and a love of learning!
