It makes me so happy as a parent to see him smiling, playing with the other children, and becoming more comfortable and confident every day. The teachers have been wonderful, and I truly appreciate the care and attention they give him. I feel very comfortable knowing he is in such a warm and positive environment.

I'm a social worker who works with children & families across NJ and I have three children who…read morecurrently attend this daycare for well over a year now. Ms. Angela, Ms. Kayla, Ms. Tamia, & Ms. Zeba have been there from day one and are amazing early educators. I cannot thank them enough for the care & education they provide my children with on a daily basis. Other teachers/aides are also wonderful with the children, Ms. Sam & Alyssa have been wonderful additions to the classroom. The front office staff is very friendly, super helpful with communication, and answering any questions that may arise. Jamie, Julie, Bonnie, and Amy have always been supportive and available to our family and I've even seen them help out in the classrooms with the children when needed. The school has camera access so when I get a chance, I often see the children learning to write, sensory learning, circle time, and many librarian visits. They also offer breakfast, lunch, snack, & transportation. Kiddie Academy in Toms River has been a huge support for my family.

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??

I can't say enough great things about Mr. Vinny, Mrs. Michelle & Mrs. Jade. Mrs. Michelle has been…read moreincredible with my son. She's helped build his confidence in a way that's been so special to watch as a mom. She's patient, kind, and really understands how to meet kids where they are while still encouraging them to grow.

Climbing was still fun, even if we waited in line a couple of times.

They did have a really cool cotton candy machine that had all different designs and flavor options, my kids did get a kick out of that.

The Neptune Township Senior Center is a Public Health Gem for our Community…read moreAs a former NJ Assistant Commissioner of Health, a former President and current Executive Board Member of the New Jersey Public Health Association and a Neptune Township resident senior citizen I am amazed at what the Neptune Township Senior Center does to improve the public health of our community. Located at 1607 Corlies Avenue, the facility is easily accessible for those with disabilities and provides wheelchair access and designated parking spaces. Transportation is not a barrier since vans can pick up seniors and take them back home at the end of the day. The health and nutritional status of participants are important considerations in the services offered. Numerous adult fitness programs are available, and adapted for participants of varying abilities, including Chair Yoga and even Line Dancing. Both breakfast and lunch are offered for a small donation, along with baked goods which can be taken home free of charge. A VNA nurse visits to provide blood pressure checks and is available to discuss medication questions and medical concerns. A social worker also holds office hours to provide free individual counseling and answer questions about Medicaid, SNAP, homecare and more. The social well-being of participants is also addressed. The calendar is full of classes and activities, along with shopping trips to buy groceries and other necessities. During the day there is a constant, positive hum of conversation among seniors which promotes belonging and decreases feelings. Specific topics are also addressed- NJ State Senator Vin Gopal recently visited to address issues that are important to seniors, including taxes, rising costs, veteran's programs, and homelessness. We are most fortunate to have a municipal government that values its senior residents and looks to provide beneficial activities and services for many who have called Neptune Township their home for much of their adult life. The outstanding services and programs reach seniors throughout our diverse community promoting health and well-being.

With close family in our local educational system, and as a parent of two children - one who…read moreattended Goddard's camp this past summer and another who is a 'full-timer' 5 days a week - I can confidently say this daycare is one of the best around. The caretakers are very warm, patient, and attentive; as well as Miss Katha and Mr. Adam in the front office who are very personable and receptive. Honestly speaking - I think any parent would rather stay home with their kids all day long. But for those who have to work (which are most!) - Goddard School in Tinton Falls is certainly a very reassuring option.
