I am eternally grateful to Ms Nikki for always being there and being the happy and comforting presence in the morning when I get there for before care. She's always in good spirits which is important for me because I am trusting her with one of my most important people. she is clearly competent and trustworthy and dedicated to her job and her role in shaping the lives Of the very young. And what's more, she seems To truly care about the kids and I feel comfortable leaving my son with her. Also, no review would be complete without a mention of Ms Janet. It's not to say that other staff hasn't been amazing...like Ms Jalimar, Ms Justine, ms Sari...but Ms Janet is the calming and capable force that greeted me and my son every day. She gave him structure and guidance, she's pleasant and cheery but firm. She is the perfect combination of what a day care and preschool teacher should be and TLE is so lucky to have her there.

We enrolled our granddaughter at The Learning Experience after a great tour and conversation with…read morethe director. Unfortunately, once she started, we saw very little educational progress. Most days were described as "just playing," and it felt more like babysitting than a structured learning environment. Things became more concerning when a summer-only student repeatedly bullied other children, including our granddaughter. She was hit and pushed, and none of this was communicated to us by staff, we only found out after asking. Despite knowing this child had ongoing behavioral issues, the school allowed the behavior to continue. After witnessing our granddaughter crying due to another incident, we immediately removed her. She is now enrolled at Hillcrest and absolutely loves it. The difference in care, communication, and learning has been night and day.

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.

Trainers eyes glued to the phone, gave no direction to her helpers, my kids running around aimlessly and they expected her to know things. Maybe a preventative measure would be a survey/ questionnaire so we can decide better, but it felt that my kid wasn't enough. Icing on the cake was the act the trainer put on at the end, "she was great", "so cute". I already knew that, and was watching the whole time she's too young. It was nice the other 4 year olds help her who were part of the session.

Update! Our son Chris is continuing to thrive at this school. His knowledge and skill level is…read moreexcelling very rapidly. Chris takes his music lessons very seriously and we have increased our lesson time to double time. Music theory with Paul and Guitar and Bass with Greg. Chris has attended other schools and has reported back that Greg is the teacher he feels he learns the most from in Guitar and Bass, classical acoustic and electric. Music is a self directed inspired passion. What Chris loves is that Greg is always willing to shift gears to what interests Chris the most without hesitation but the right way, in terms of foundational strength. Paul is a teacher and mentor to Chris. If you have little ones, I have no doubt that they will grow like family in this school. Chris started when he was 9 years old with classical piano. The band part of this school's program allow Chris to participate in song selection which is very important to him. All the band members have a say in song selection to be fair and this is important. Volume is adjustable for rehearsals which is very important for the safety of hearing. As with anything you get what you put into music lessons. Rapport and chemistry between a teacher and a student is paramount. If you are willing to dedicate attention time and effort to learning then your outcome will be the absolute best. I continue to highly recommend the high level instruction of this school for Guitar, Bass, classical acoustic, and Piano. Reading music and music theory as well. The chemistry with Chris and his teachers is a valuable treasure to me as a mom. In my opinion, if our son is excelling and enthusiastic to attend lessons always then that says it all. With other schools he was not eager to attend. To me that is telling.

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.

Exactly what we had hoped for. The bonus is a 4 year old who has surpassed any academic expectation we could have even thought to place on him who looks forward to going to school everyday!
