School Reviews

Good Hands is an amazing school/daycare. The staff is dedicated to all of the children and it is an amazing environment. My one son went back in 1995 and our little one now started in pre school, went to pre-k, the summer camps and will now go to there full day K program as well this Sept. My son loves it here. The class sizes are perfect, teachers are amazing, kids are great, and I don't feel any anxiety when he leaves for school. He goes with a huge smile on his face and comes home the same way. They learn a lot and are very creative at the same time. I think it is the perfect balance and your children get a level of attention and education that just isn't possible here in the public school system right now. My son does have developmental issues and he flourishes here. After having 4 other children go through the Brick school system over the last 13 years, I have learned a lot. Good Hands is an amazing opportunity for your child and I highly recommend them.
