Schools in Freehold, NJ

“We have absolutely loved our experiences at Goddard. The teachers are so kind and nurturing. I trust the staff completely with the care and education of my child.”

“Our kids have been going to Apple Hill Academy for the last 3 years and we love the school. My oldest graduated pre K and and is now thriving in kindergarten thanks to all the knowledge she gained at Apple Hill! I toured quite a few schools in the area before choosing and I was very impressed how quick they were to respond and answer all of my questions, Helene was polite, welcoming, and scheduled our tour right away. Our daughter loved it from the first day and has made many friends there. I like the fact that the kids do a combination of crafts, scholastic activities and outside play. They also learn word in spanish, sign language and learn about well being and calming techniques. They are exposed to different sports, cultures, learn about different holidays, foods/recipes and career choices. We will continue to take our kids here and highly recommend to family and friends!”

“Both of our sons went here- so we’ve experienced both the infant/toddler care and the preschool. You will not find a more caring group of people entrusted to your children. Jaime, the director, keeps the school spotless. All of the teachers are thoughtful, creative, and kind to our children, and very loved! From Halloween parades, holiday performances, and spring concerts/graduation there are tons of parent involvement and activities. During the summer the school has camp-like activities: tattoos and face paint, arts and craft days, as well as water play. It was nerve wracking to put an infant in daycare during the pandemic, but I know we made the right choice with Gold Star!”

“My daughter who is now 15 months started at KA just after turning 1. These first 3 months have been wonderful. This is largely due to her amazing teacher Miss Kikki! She greets my daughter every day with love and I know she is being taken care of very well! I love seeing the pictures of circle time, coloring time and playing outside. The app allows me to check in during the day and see what she’s doing and she’s always having fun. When I mention Miss Kikki at home my daughter goes and gets her shoes and is ready to go out of the door! She loves her! I know she is in great hands with Miss Kikki when I drop her off and I’ve always felt comfortable there!”

“This a great school, teachers genuinely care about the children and are doing their very best to keep the children engaged while virtual learning. The principal will always make sure that all your questions are answered and the staff overall is amazing.”
