A poster depiction of a terribly administered Catholic school in the state of New Jersey…read more From a politically driven administration lead by the school's principal Sister Cheree to favoritism and political chaos between the teachers, PTA and parents and ultimately impacting the quality of the students education. Teachers are generally motivated to clock in and clock out, have students read their workbooks and study from the books and do not actually teach at all. Consequently the schools enrollment has suffered drastically through out the years despite efforts by the school to resuscitate it from its damaged reputation in the community. Stay away from this school!

My family was not treated well, and the lack of quality of the education, is appalling. They are only interested in how much money you can raise, and how to keep the school open. This is a soriety, that you dont want your family to be part of. If I could rate this institution a zero, I would.

Apple hill review…read more Would give apple hill 0 stars if I could! My family usually loves to build up others and their businesses, so this was very difficult to write. We sent our young daughter to Apple Hill and trusted the staff with our baby girl. However, I am heartbroken to say that she is about to turn 2 years old, and on her birthday will be littered with welts and bruises. It breaks my heart when we look back on photos of this milestone she is going to ask me "daddy why so I have so many injuries?" The staff at Apple Hill was not only condescending, but dismissive of our constant concerns of our daughters repeated injuries. (It also seemed the language barrier between us was something they heavily used to their advantage). I want to be very clear that I understand that toddlers are still learning to walk and are not always stable on their feet. I understand that sometimes babies do get hurt. But there is a difference between the occasional bump and scrape versus consistent and nearly constant injuries on a nearly daily basis. Not to mention, this facility should be baby proof! I expect if she falls she would be protected! Her injuries were constant. I had clients at my job questioning me as to why every time they saw my daughter she had a new injury. Some of these clients see my daughter once or twice a month! She was picked up 2-3 days in a row with new lumps on her head. The black eye she received has left a scar. Each time I look at it, I feel I failed her. The worst part was seeing my daughter so badly bruised, knowing the people that were supposed to protect her were the ones who couldn't give me any answers. When I asked for documentation, they had none when I asked for video they had none. They also suggested watching the live stream video from their lobby, but if I was able to sit and watch my daughter all day from their lobby, I would've had her in my home where I knew she would be safe. Instead, I was working to give her the best life possible. Instead of listening and trying to reassure us, they downplayed our feelings and tried to pass off some of these wounds as bug bites. However, after taking her to a doctor, it was confirmed they were welts and bruises and not bug bites. Sadly, I do not feel comfortable, leaving our daughter in their care anymore, as they had no idea what was going on with her. I fear I will never know if it was a staff member, another child, or unsafe facilities. I also learned many new things about this facility only after my concerns were brought to light, such as at the end of the day all ages of children are brought together, and the teachers couldn't explain how she got hurt which means they weren't watching her. I don't write this review to hurt them because tarnishes a reputation doesn't bring me joy, I write it to hopefully protect another child from injury.

The teachers are unqualified and have screamed at the children right in front of parents. They kick…read moreyou to the curb the second they don't want to deal with a child. They took 8 hours a day worth of subsidy money that I get for my child when he was only going 4 hours a week and still made us pay a copay. This place use to be good until they got new owners and now this place is a nightmare. They also keep all the kids in one class for a good part of the morning cause they don't have enough staff. So you have 2 year Olds with 4 and 5 year olds. I pray no body has to go through what we went through with my son. If they kept the childrem busy and not just sitting then maybe the children wouldnt get into things.

We cannot say enough positive things about Genius Kids Academy, Ms. Marina, the staff, and the…read moreabsolutely amazing experience they have provided for our daughter! Maddie started at Genius Kids this past September. Going to school for the first time, after being home with me for two years, she was extremely tentative and shy. However, within a few weeks, she was talking non-stop about her friends and teachers (Ms. Kate and Ms. Tina), singing all of her "circle time" songs at the top of her lungs, looking forward to Wednesday music classes with Ms. Tanya, and beaming from ear to ear whenever we mentioned her school. To say that she - and we - have LOVED Genius Kids is an understatement. My older son attended two different daycares when he was younger, and invariably we were dissatisfied with different aspects of them. This is not the case with Genius Kids. We have been thrilled every single day with the level of care, safety, attentiveness, communication, and nurturing provided. The staff works tirelessly to provide special experiences, activities, and memories for the children - shows throughout the year, festive events and parties, an abundance of cheerful and constantly-changing decorations, pool time and outdoor picnics, watching caterpillars turn into butterflies, daily songs and dancing. The children are always engaged and learning. It is remarkable how Maddie has learned numbers, counting, letters, shapes, and days of the week this year, the words to countless songs, how to be fully potty trained, and so many other unquantifiable skills - social/friendship skills, helpfulness, independence, maturity, confidence, and an expansive imagination that is constantly finding ways to engage in make-believe play (including her favorite activity at home, which of course is pretending that she is Ms. Kate and Ms. Tina leading the class). We are grateful that we have been able to witness Maddie's journey and incredible experiences at school thanks to the video monitoring, constant communication (updates/pictures), and high level of responsiveness from the staff. More than anything, what we have appreciated from Ms. Marina and the teachers is the level of genuine caring that they exhibit for the children. Genius Kids is not filled with disgruntled, transient teachers who are just working for a paycheck. On the contrary, every day we are confident that we are sending Maddie to a place where she is truly loved, where she feels special, where the staff's dedication is evident, and where she is in the best hands we could ask for. A place that brings her happiness and excitement, to which she is beyond eager to run out the door every morning. Genius Kids, because of you, Maddie has blossomed and flourished in so many ways. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for our girl. Love, The Palumbos

Always a great attitude and are very understanding to each child's/parents' needs. The teachers are skilled and keep us parents abreast of all happenings at the location and with our children. They have a very updated curriculum in order to keep the children on the right educational path. There are many fun activities for the children as well. They love it! I would most certainly recommend them over a larger daycare mostly because the larger the school, the more challenging it can be to work with each individual child. For me this is a HUGE plus.
