She enjoyed all the activities and tried new things that she likely would not have had an opportunity to experience such as: zip lining, fishing/boating, archery and ropes course. She got out of her comfort zone, tried new things and did not regret it. A big positive with this camp is that it has many other activities other than sports. My daughter is not into sports but there were so many other outdoor activities as well as science, art and theater that she enjoyed. She also got to do weekly horseback riding. My picky eater kid also loved the food here! I was shocked she was eating seconds at lunch (they are very generous in giving the kids more food if they are still hungry). And of course the bus picking up and dropping off right in front of your house is so convenient. We already signed up our kid for next summer. The summer camp bar has now been set high, as I don't think she will be satisfied attending any other camp after her fun Harbor Hills experience.

Our daughter started Apple Randolph at age 2 and has spent the last 2 academic years plus summer…read morecamp here. Overall she has seen a lot of positive development both socially and academically. Her current teacher Ms. Parekh has done a great job stepping up to take over her class recently. One aspect of the curriculum we really like is the group classrooms ranging from ages 2-5, which gives the young ones an older partner to look up to and teaches the older kids how to care for and guide their younger peers. There are additional academic programs during the day you can add on, as well as after school extracurricular activities like music and various sports. It's also good to see an emphasis on allowing the kids to be physically active as much as possible during regular school hours. The community of parents we've met has also been great and our daughter has made many friends. We plan to start our son this summer. Yes, sometimes she falls or catches an illness at school... but it's mostly normal, unavoidable stuff. If there is a concern we've found the administration to be responsive. It's not cheap by any means, but a safe place where your little ones can progress their education as early as possible is absolutely worth it.

I would never sent my kid to this school again. My son was there for 4 months from 2.5 old, and he…read morecried every morning when we drop him off( he was in another DC for 1 year already, so I don't think it's bc he's new in school). I have asked him several times, all he could express by his age is that he is scared of the teacher who's name start with letter A. My husband also said he witnessed that the teacher was very rouge to the kids in the classroom. I was a bit concern but since we will be traveling soon so I didn't plan to switch to another school. 2 month later after I withdrew my son, he developed more speaking skills and he started telling me that the teacher was "corporal punishing" him just because he doesn't want to have nap, as a mom I believe you will share my angry when I hear it. He can describe all the details and he still has emotions when talks about that memory, I don't believe a 3 years kid has the ability to tell a lie even considering he is not even going there anymore. I tried communicating with the owner peacefully, and I do received a call right after I report this to them. They said they will do an investigation and call me back earlier next week, but 2 weeks after I don't hear anything from them. Then I called back, they are like, oh, I called you. But I have been waiting for the call and I don't see any missed call from the school. I don't feel any sorry from the call, and of course no apologies at all like the punishment is normal action to the kid. I don't know how much my son suffered from the 4 months experience with them and I don't know how deeply in his heart he's affected that will stop him loving to go to school. In addition, I was never a picky mom, I never required anything special to be done for my kid. I have no clue why my kid deserve this.

The facilities were great!

In Giborim, you get to plan your own schedules. However, the staff had trouble appealing to the wide age ranges campers during unity events. As a fourth grader, I should not be forced to be forced to do head, shoulders, knees, and toes, as well as other childish games during Boker Tov aka their meet and greets! Bus rides to and from camp can be 45-60 minutes each way. Unit shelters are also very dirty, especially during or after rain storms. The food was also mediocre, and parents must comply with the camp's own "definition" of Kosher if they want to pack lunches. I was given a marshmallow fluff sandwich as an alternative lunch when my salad was soggy, which is far from healthy.

What they lack in the "grand" camp experience they make up for in personalized attention…read more They do not have the biggest campus, nor a lake. They have a smaller overall experience than a Jeff Lake or a Meadowbrook. Given that they don't quite have as much to offer, their price point is a touch high. However, they justify their price by having a smaller camper to counselor ratio. They are also better equipped to handle "special" or "difficult" campers, as they have the right people in place to ensure that all kids have fun and that all kids have a wonderful experience together. Furthermore, the staff takes time to give reports and updates on the experiences of each individual camper, and could not be better with parent communication. My son comes home with a smile and a great experience. He's happy and that makes me happy. They offer pick-up and drop-off right at your door. They even offer a small extended before and after camp program right at the JCC in West Orange.

My daughter started going to the Goddard School when she was 2 years old and is now 5 yrs old…read moregetting ready to graduate from the Pre-K class. Being a first time mom and fairly new to the Randolph area, my husband and I researched and toured every single preschool. As soon as I entered the Goddard School, I knew it was the right place for my daughter. I was immediately drawn to their state of the art fingerprint security system along with an outstanding curriculum, generous classroom space and a safe and immaculate, age appropriate playground. The school is warm and inviting. The halls are decked out with artwork and pictures of the faculty and students. The classrooms are bright, spacious, cheery and filled with countless educational tools and areas designed for pretend play, fine motor skill activities, reading, writing and listening centers and individual cubbies for the children. My daughter loves going to school everyday and I have seen a vast improvement in her social skills as well as her speech and language skills. She excels in math and science and can even read thanks to "sight words." She has learned quite a few Spanish words and knows a ton of sign language. As she enters kindergarten in September, there's no doubt in my mind that she is much better off to have gone to the Goddard School. I have grown extremely fond of all her teachers over the past 3 years. They have all been beyond helpful, extremely caring, sincere, nurturing, loving and exemplify what teaching is all about. The director, Miss Leigh Ann, is absolutely incredible. The knowledge she has and the willingness to help in any and every situation goes above and beyond her job title. If I ever have a care or concern, Miss Leigh Ann always puts my mind at ease. She is a true gem! Miss Daniele, the assistant director, is exceptionally friendly, efficient and professional. I know I can go to her with any question and she will have a solution. The owners, Miss Anne, Mr. John and Mr. Jonathan are always welcoming and pleasant. I can always rely on a smile whenever I see them. They run a tight ship and it feels as though we are all a part of one big, happy family. If you're looking for a fun, educational, loving and safe place to send your child, the Goddard School is it!! Erica A. Randolph, NJ
