Since we discovered we were going to be parents we have made decisions based on researching what…read moreintuitively feels right for our son. 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!

I enrolled my child at Little People at Work preschool and was pleasantly surprised. My child…read morethoroughly enjoyed his time there. He became really close to all his teachers and continuously asks if he can return for the summer camp as he has graduated. I really love the family atmosphere they create and the emphasis that is placed on early childhood education. A true preschool program!

This school just proves that bells and whistles are not necessary to provide a warm, loving, and…read morequality learning environment. They also incorporate light Christian values, last time I went the teacher played gospel music instead of the generic lullabies during nap time. I thought that was great. The teachers take a more maternal role and the tuition is very cheap considering other daycare tuition. It has year round enrollment, after school program that may provide busing, and summer camp with pickup until 6pm.

DISGUSTING treatment of my 3 year old child. My daughter Cameran is newly potty trained and it was…read morecommunicated on the first day of camp that she needed extra time on the toilet. The director Missy called me with the school nurse on speaker advising me that my daughter had been having accidents and that she was a "health hazard". Mind you it was only communicated on one single occasion at pick up that she had an accident. $5200 for the summer for two kids and I have to hear that my toddler is a health hazard. I explained again on the phone that she needs extra time on the potty and was told they were not able to accommodate that and refused to accommodate her. This is a THREE YEAR OLD CHILD. Completely disgusting treatment of my child and an absolutely disgusting approach regarding a pre-schooler's toilet training.

I have put two children through the little school in Hill and Dale and love it. My son is in third…read moregrade now and my daughter is in the Pre-K program at the Hill and Dale school in Manasquan. The teachers are loving and dedicated. At the little school, the social and educational curriculum is totally age appropriate. It is the right balance between ABC's, shapes, colors and behavioral education that kids need from age 2 to 4. Plus, the whole transition from our home, to their home (Spring Lake H&D is a house), to Pre-K and Kindergarten (Trinity Church in Manasquan) is gradual move to a more institutional setting that my kids responded to well. Our Son was reading books that were 4 and 5 sentences per page before he got to the first grade. He knew what compound and contracted words were. His math was awesome with addition and subtraction in the thousands. He was a bit over prepared for 1st grade which really helped him settle in to public school. Our daughter is on track to be well prepared as well. We are doing pre-k with her and then sending her to public school for kindergarten, which has more to do with the timing of her late birthday then anything else. Mrs. Bramley and the other teachers give our shy daughter the attention she needs without going overboard. At the little school Mrs. Kirk prepared our daughter well. At the big school, Mrs. Bramley did a great job preparing our son and now our daughter. We trust these awesome teachers deeply.
