Schools in Howell, NJ

“My wife and I have been extremely pleased with the progress of our 4 year old daughter at the Montessori Enrichment Center in Howell, NJ. The staff are extremely passionate about the Montessori teaching method and they have given my daughter the time, attention and respect that she needs to flourish. She is developing excellent skills, both physically and interpersonally and I know she will be well equipped to succeed in the years ahead. Our decision to place her at this school last year was the best decision we could’ve made for our daughter.”

“We cannot say enough positive things about Genius Kids Academy, Ms. Marina, the staff, and the absolutely 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”

“I’ve been bringing my child here for over a year! I’m a loyal and happy member. My 18month old begs to come to “Gymbo”. My child climbs on everything in my house and needs an outlet, on days we go here he gets to climb, dance, socialize, and sing, then promptly passes out on the ride home, and is mellow the rest of the day. He loves the entire staff- Mrs Kris, Mrs. Dianna and Mrs. Alissa are his favorites. We will keep coming back and moving up to each age appropriate class, and I get to socialize with other parents with is great since I’m usually home alone with the toddler.”

“My son has been going to Applehill Academy in Howell for 2 years. He loves going to see his friends, his teachers and learn! I am so fond of the way Miss Heather leads her staff and spends time with the kids. Everyone there is always cheerful and excited to see us. I love the switch to Kids and Company as well. The app is awesome and I am always up to date on what my son is doing on a hourly basis. We are definitely an Applehill family!”
