I am a parent of two children at Oak Knoll School and I honestly don't feel there are enough words…read moreto describe how wonderful Oak Knoll is. My girls are absolute ambassadors of OKS, as I see the totality of what Oak Knoll offers, in them. The teachers and faculty are like family, the care they exude is ever so natural and nurturing. Don't get me started on the academics. In the lower school, the classes are interwoven. I was actually intrigued to learn that in the sixth grade for instance, as the origin of the golden ratio was being taught in math class, the students were also being shown how it was applied to the Mona Lisa painting in their Arts class, it's application in the Renaissance era in Social Studies, and there was reference to the concept in Science, and even in the library classes. My sixth grader was absolutely fascinated relating her experience. As for the nurturing environment, you can sense the importance of core values in the school, it only takes one visit to feel it in the air. The students are also exposed to practical religious tenets, helping those in need, etc. I honestly cannot say enough about Oak Knoll. I encourage readers who are searching for schools for their children, to visit their website at www.oakknoll.org or give them a call. There is no amount of investment too much to build a solid foundation for our gifts (our children).

My experience with admissions and the director was poor. Very unresponsive and inattentive…read more Curriculum wasn't well articulated, we were unable to meet our children's teachers, and she gave one of my two spots for my two preschoolers away without notice after we were penciled in, and said: "let me know if you still want the other spot." I'm glad this happened early because I'm sure I wouldn't want to deal with that throughout the school year.

The Sprout House is the best possible early childhood education you could give your children if you…read morecannot be at home with them yourself. I sent my children as part day preschool and to this day I accredit their earth conscious minds to the Sprout House. My eldest just went off to college on a scholarship to a music conservatory and it was (partly) due to him starting off as a Sprout. His brother 1 year behind him is an Eagle Scout now. They were encouraged to explore, learn and be themselves in the kindest way possible. The fact that some of the teachers have been there over 20 years speaks VOLUMES to the caliber of care taken to retain employees, and with that comes caring educators. I cannot say enough good about this little gem in the heart of Chatham. May many more children "sprout" from this fine establishment!

My husband and two children attended Pingry, and we've had a really really great experience there!…read more I've read the other negative reviews and feel they are self-serving and simply untrue. There was an issue with bullying in one of my child's class this year. The issue was handled in great form and everything was much better afterwards. Bullying will happen. But Pingry dealt with it fairly and gracefully. Our experience with the Pingry community is one of positivity, support, excellent educational opportunities, amazing and dedicated teachers & administration...I can't say anything bad about this wonderful school! It's a privilege to attend a school like this, but it's not a school of privileged children. They are an ethnically diverse, socio-economically diverse, and religiously diverse community with a lot to offer children of all ages.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to his teacher, Mrs. Lambert, who is truly exceptional. Also, thank you to Mrs. Massi, Mrs. Chubbs, Mrs. Haxton, and Ms. Olive, along with any others I may have missed. You have all made Mikey's first pre-K experience a truly wonderful one. Choosing this program for my son has been one of the best decisions I've ever made!

We absolutely love the Children's Academy! My daughter went there from when she was 2 years old up…read moreuntil she was 6 (Kindergarten). She is now in the 1st grade and is reading above grade level! The teachers are so nice and really care for your children.

The teachers really push the kids to excel in their academics. They have a nice mixture of academics and athletics. School meals gave changed to healthier choices and served fresh daily. Parking lot is also used for the kids to play and their is also a toddler lot in the front of the school. The parent association has strived to make things better for the students and are trying to improve communications with the parents on school and fundraising activities. My son has entered kindergarten and has shown dramatic changes in a month of attending. I highly recommend you send your children here for a quality education.
