Although it's been 37 years since I took up space (I was an aspiring astronaut then) roaming the halls of BHS was a good experience. Graduated in 1978 and moved on to the business world. After moving to California a year after graduating I started a furniture manufacturing company with my brother in a 3 car garage in Fresno, Ca. After growing it into a 15 million a year company sold it after 15 years. Took 5 years off then opened a retail operation and now after 13 years of struggling would give my left arm to be out. Having fun as Crazy Bernie though.

I'm a nanny, and I can't say enough good things about this school…read more From the minute u walk in you get a warm and fuzzy feeling. It's not the sterile environment I saw in many other preschools. The kids all seem happy and content, that's a biggie. The owner, though I only met her once, was very caring, accommodating and capable. The teachers and assistants my little charge had were wonderful. Mrs R. especially. They thought the basics with love and a firm hand when needed. I particularly liked the gentle emphasis they put on respect and obedience. I also did not notice any favoritism on the part of any teachers, not an easy thing to do in this line of work. There were lots of extracurricular activities and field trips, holiday parties etc...where parent participating was encouraged, and indeed many of the parents got to know each other well. On the whole it really felt like an extended family. I wish I could have sent my kids here , 20 yrs ago, but I couldn't even get on the waiting list, they had no room! This place has been around a very long time, and always had a great reputation. I really feel it's the next best thing to home!

PROS : - kids have other kids to interact with -staff is nice -local area with a big back yard -kids have picture day and pictures turn out really nice. CONS : -Miss helen only cares about her granddaughter who is also attending the school. -Kids are never cleaned up after they come back in from being outside -constantly sent home with wet diaper and horrible rashes -miss Hellen has her "punish" chair where she makes kids sit alone in a wooden chair when they've been bad. - Staff is teens/young adults just looking for jobs no one has child backround I know this for a FACT because one of the girls is my cousins friend who works there. -my son was not allowed to bring his binky. Why? -my son was not progressing in speech nor socializing with children correctly. -Miss helen told me to my face "hes just a little to hard to deal with" ABOUT MY SON. -my son is very active so he doesn't want to sit in circle time, they would force him to so he would get upset and this is why she told me "hes hard to deal with" -tuition is a JOKE almost 300$ a WEEK for my child to be ignored, sent home dirty, and be made out to be some terror who is "hard to deal with " -Miss helen sent me threatening voice mails (that I wish I could include) telling me AFTER I pulled my son out that I owed her money ($200 plus) when in reality I owed her $45. BECAUSE of this she threatened to call norwescap (agency that helps with childcare) and tell them that I owe a balance with her school. This was AND I QUOTE "Luca (my son ) will not be able to attend anywhere until I get paid" she is a selfish selfish woman. she told me "I know dad isn't in the picture but I still expect my money" it was the worst decision of my LIFE to bring him to this school. I would prefer Early Discovery Learning Center in Stanhope theyre so nice so kind and so polite staff has been there 20 plus years. GOOD RIDANCE MISS HELLEN.

Once she is crawling I think this is a really worthwhile activity, especially for an indoor activity idea when it's cold out. The space has lots of great activities like slides, climbing walls, rocking toys and tunnels. A single session is $30 and you get 45 minutes of play time. I like that you don't need to commit to a package and can simply buy classes a la carte. The instructor was energetic and enthusiastic. The class ended with the signature gymboree parachute which was fun. You also take a few minutes during class to introduce yourself to the other families. The instructor warned us that it can be sensory overload if it's your child's first time and she was completely right! Our normally 'chill' child wasn't her usual self for the first part of class and was definitely a bit fussy and scared. Every kid is of course different, but worth noting that it's a lot of stimulation during a first time visit! Overall it's a fun play space and I'll certainly plan some future visits when my girl is a little more mobile.

This review is for the Gymboree in Pine Brook, NJ…read more My 10-month-old doesn't go to daycare, so finding a place where he can socialize, explore, and develop new skills has been really important to us. Gymboree in Pine Brook has been absolutely perfect. It's become a regular part of our routine, and it's made such a big difference in his movement and confidence. He gets so excited the moment we walk through the doors. It's truly his happy place. The instructors here are what make it so special. We've worked with every one of them, and they are all amazing in their own way. Ms. Geri: She has had such a big impact on my son's movement. She's incredibly thoughtful, caring, and observant, and she really takes the time to get to know each child and respect their autonomy. She's given us so many helpful tips and ideas to support his physical development, and I really believe her guidance has helped him get closer to walking and become more confident with movement in general. Ms Geri is so experienced with children and has given me much insight to my son and his ability to explore and learn about the world at his own pace. Also, as a side note, one day I desperately needed coffee (it was a loooong day) and Geri called a nearby business for me to see if they were open and sold coffee!!! It sounds small, but it's rare to find people who go out of their way like that for you. She genuinely cares and it shows. Ms. Kathleen: She has SUCH a beautiful voice!!! Even if you go for just one class, try to go to hers so that you and your little one can listen to her lovely singing. It instantly draws my son in, even though he usually takes a little while to warm up to new people. She's super engaging and fun, and somehow got him to start drumming along with us for the first time ever at his last class! It was such a sweet moment that I wasn't expecting. She has a really special way with children. Ms. Morgan: She was the first teacher we had at Gymboree, and after just one class with her, we signed up for the unlimited pass. That's how good she is! She brings so much energy and creativity to her lessons, and she keeps the kids excited and involved the whole time. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she made us feel right at home right away. I think that is all the instructors, but if not, then these are the ones that we have attended classes with. I honestly can't recommend this Gymboree location enough. If you're considering it, just try a class. you'll see right away how wonderful the staff is and how much your little one will get out of it. It's been such a great experience for our family. Thank you everyone who works at this location. We are so lucky to have found you!
