As a full time working mom it is very important who I trust to care for my children all week.  Noah's Ark is the only place I could possibly recommend especially after experiencing other centers from Manahawkin to Lacey.  This school is spotless, the playgorund is gorgeous with age appropriate sections and plenty of supervision.  Mrs. Harth is the most nurturing early preschool teacher you could ask for and exactly what the little ones need in a teacher when just starting to transition to a school setting.  Mrs. Davis is a very fun and outgoing 2nd year teacher who teaches the children more independance as well as school basics.  Mrs. Applegate is the last stop at Noah's before Kindegarten and does a subperb job in assessing and preparing the children for the transition to school. Both of my children have now graduated from Noah's Ark and it sadens me to not have the staff and school in our lives any longer.
