So, first, I am going to appear a little confrontational to "DL's" comment... and simply because I…read moreLOVE Goddard, and my (well mannered/well articulate) child has been attending Goddard since 10 months... What "research" can one do on daycare beyond a friend's recommendation (and to each their own), or to Yelp reviews (so take what you want from my personal experience...) And here's my background from a scholastic standpoint: I have a degree in psychology and studied in early education course work from TCNJ and I grew up in Bergen County, which any article/study will show has the top of the top public school ratings (my point, I'm no dummy and education is very important to me- curriculum and quality of staff.) Not caring and loving?... not at all. The staff is personable and always available and if as a parent you make your self known then the staff is well aware of your (and your child's of course) presence and any personal/specific needs. For example, I pack my four year old's school lunch with mostly organic and all natural food, and they CALL me if there is even an Ice Truck coming to school during the summer curriculum to make sure it is okay with me as the parent. I appreciate that during the age that is exactly what it is "PRE school" that this staff recognizes the parents as leaders in what is best for their child. The curriculum was very strong and progressive? I am type A and have an advanced child for his group and yet he ENJOYS going to school and talks about his day... simply because he is learning something new. The kids are good in the school. This school allows for variety and exploring and most importantly (for ME) is remains a fun and caring and 'everyone knows your name' environment. I am not a parent to 'leave it up to the school/daycare' to make strides with my child; that I put on myself, but to each their own. The Goddard in Wall I am not familiar with BUT I have not heard positive reviews at that location and I worked ten years down the road in Manasquan. Still, keep in mind, that Goddard is a franchise so operationally the "curriculum" is basically required to be the same - the people/staff are not. I WOULD recommend anyone to the Goddard in BRICK; I have friends in Brielle and recommend the Goddard of Brick over the one in Wall. The teachers in Brick are from Brick, and the public school system in Brick is rating SO poorly sadly even at the elementary school level that once my child completes his year of Pre-K at Goddard, we have decided moving to the Red Bank area... Brick is terrible with its school district fyi. I felt VERY fortunate to have Goddard of Brick operate as it does with its professionalism; and friendly/caring; and concerned staff... our kids are babies if they are going to any daycare, to what 8 schools are you comparing??

From the owner: At The Goddard School located in Brick, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a…read moreprivate preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.

We are always discussing what types of experiences will support him and allow him to grow into who he is and what he is here to be. We believed that choosing a school was one of those decisions that would have a tremendous impact on his growth and development. 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. From the moment you pull up to the school it is evident something wonderful is happening here. A beloved community of children and families who radiate kindness, joy and a love of learning! 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!

The place was very cluttered and not very tidy. I was recommended by someone to check it out since there kid was enrolled there and I was not impressed AT ALL. The health department should be notified. I don't think it is up to par for health code for a childcare setting.

My husband and I first sent our twin girls to Tiny World in Point Pleasant seven years ago, just…read moreafter their second birthday. During their years there with Miss Mary, Miss Marianne, Miss Christina, and all the other wonderful teachers, our daughters were nurtured, loved, and taught to be curious and embrace the world around them. The directors and teachers at Tiny World understand the value of social skills and play as well as the importance of kindergarten readiness. As educators, my husband and I see the value of this approach and know that it is vital to success and security in all academic and grade levels. It is not surprising to find that many of the children at Tiny World have parents in education. We have always appreciated the flexible hours, unique programs, and comfortable facilities offered at Tiny World. There is nothing better than picking a little one up at the end of a long day who has had a chance to be outside, sing songs, and learn all at the same time. We are now in the second year of sending our youngest son. He is thriving and happy there just as our daughters were. It is a true blessing to be able to go and teach other children knowing that mine are in such loving and capable hands. I really can't say enough about this school. They do everything right in all the ways that it truly matters.

My children loved this school and were genuinely loved by the staff. Highly recommend.read more
