    My overall review of Great New Beginnings in Newark is unsatisfactory. My opinions and comparisons…read moreare based on my experience with Kindercare. The only reason I left to go to GNB was due to the cost for two children, but I know now that with less cost it's less quality of service. I want to preface that GNB is currently struggling with staffing issues, like most in the education industry. I acknowledge that they are trying to do what they can with what they have. However, it still does not sit well with me when I expressed my concerns that my child is not learning the educational activities written in the lesson plans and curriculum. They listened but I was not heard. They acknowledged and knew that the lesson plans were not being followed in our conversation, but I did not see much change after that. Pros * Clean and tidy, very new building. * Classroom setting, like public schools. * Live video feed you can access. Timed access. * Well written curriculum with themeves. But not followed. * Teacher's licensing and most of the classroom information is posted at the front door. * Great security * Uses Tadpole app. * Breakfast and snack provided. BYO Lunch Cons * There is a written lesson plan, but it is not followed. Other than circle time, it looks like it's mostly free play. * Teachers didn't even know my son was arriving for his first day. There was no cubby set up for him. * There is no artwork to take home, again reiterating motor skills lessons are probably not being taught. * The bathrooms are adult sized, with only one stool for washing their hands and for the toilet. Most of the time I was there to pick up or drop my child, I did not see a teacher monitoring the children use the bathroom. * Minimal update on the app. I guess as they get older there are less updates. My prior daycare had loves of videos and photos to share. If you are not watching the feed you don't know what your child is doing. * The teach used her mouth to open some of the kid's food packages. * My son wanted to get comfortable for his nap and took off his shows, which he put next to him. However, the teacher put them back on him for his nap. I don't understand the reasoning behind this. It didn't happen with the new teacher. * The handicap door does not operate as intended. * My child has told me multiple times that other kids are hitting him. The teachers did say that they are working on it in passing when my son was telling me who hit him in class. He still talks about it after we have left GNB. He still names the kids that hits and pushes him. * Most of the front desk staff are not friendly. 90% of the time you are not greeted. No smiles, just feels cold and uninviting. * No automatic payment set up.

    Extremely disappointing experience with this school from beginning to end…read more To start, they require children to undergo lead blood testing just to attend their summer camp, an unnecessary and intrusive requirement. More concerning, however, is their discriminatory treatment of children with IEPs. Both of my children were enrolled in the camp, but after I submitted one of their IEPs (at the school's request), they revoked that child's admission within a few hours of me sending the report. This decision was made solely based on their IEP. I had mentioned that they were welcome to call his current teacher to gain more information in regard to how well he/she was doing, but they didn't want to hear it - full admission denial one month before the start of camp. I would not, under any circumstances, recommend this school.

    My son is six years old and has spent 3 years in the Children's House Program and 1 year in Lower…read moreElementary. Shamima and Stewart (Lower Elementary teachers) have created an environment that nurtures curiosity which then motivates the children to learn. My son was initially a reluctant reader who was not pushed but gently guided. He self-motivated into reading well above grade level. He has always loved math and because of the Montessori program, has progressed at his own pace and is excelling. The teachers keep a peaceful, respectful environment where kids of all abilities and diverse backgrounds are made to feel an integral part of the classroom. The classrooms are bright, large and clean and the library is full of resources. There are smart boards that are relied upon to an appropriate degree. Tech class, Spanish, Music, Gym, Art are all 1x/week and are led by excellent teachers too. The student-teacher ratio is excellent also.
