Its hard to find a place that gives you peace of mind, a good education and affordability--Holmdel Preschool does it all
I have been a repeat customer and I cannot rave about the school enough
Great staff from teachers to administration
Wonderful program providing the bet care and different than all the cookie cutter types around
Great school that does so much for parents and kids. They offer a wonderful high quality program with a warm caring staff. The facility is immaculate. The people are so nice and address all concerns. They met every single one of my criteria for a great education.
Outstanding facility with stellar staff. Offers so much more than anyone else around. Teachers are highly qualified and administration is always available to lend a helping hand and listening ear. Wonderful program with all inclusive fees
This is the only real preschool I have found. The rest are all daycare centers. They do a job of a babysitter not providing education but just care. This place has teachers and they really care about what they do. It shows everyday. You will be amazed at what your child learns. The director is always available and she is the owner as well so there is no middle man
The education your child will receive is good and the surroundings are nice and clean, but there are a lot of hidden fees. Not only are you paying a high tutition; you are requested to bring in a lot of supplies throughout the year, you spend $4 a day on hot lunch, and between $50-$200 on monthly activiities. My big disappointment is how they seperate the children...God forbid the parent forgets to bring in a supply for a special occasion (like the Thanksgiving soup), your child is left on the side lines watching the other kids enjoy the activity and unable to participate because a busy parent forgot to bring in their share. I took my daughter out in June, and she was not allowed to participate in the dance practice for graduation. They made her sit aside and watch the other children. Eventhough she wasn't going to be there for the ceremony, I felt it was wrong to make her feel seperated. My daughter (who was 4 at the time) was very upset and the school director didn't care. The director of the school is very nice on first impression, but that's all smoke and mirrors. Beware!
In my opinion, as a parent I can say the level of care at this school just isn't there. Beware of the teacher rotation, and the level of disorganization in the infant room. Management leaves a lot to be desired. The petty requests every week including paper towels and clorox wipes just got to be obnoxious. On multiple occasions i wanted to discuss different issues with the director and several times i walked over to her office and she wasn't in. When i withdrew my daughter from this school after 4 months, i never even received a follow up phone call. This is the level of management your dealing with. I actually feel sorry for these teacher's who have to work for this school. I recommend that you carefully do your home work before sending your child to this daycare. The internet is a wonderful resource. Good luck!
