As a parent, finding the right preschool can be both exciting and daunting, but discovering Holmdel Preschool has been one of the greatest blessings for our family. Both of my sons have attended Holmdel Preschool. My oldest is now in 2nd grade and the younger one is about to graduate from here. From day one, it was clear that this is not just a preschool; it’s a nurturing, enriching environment where children are truly seen, supported, and inspired. The educators are more than teachers — they are passionate, attentive guides who genuinely care about each child's growth and well-being. What sets Holmdel Preschool apart is its incredible array of special programs. Whether it's music and movement, STEM exploration, learning about other cultures, or their unique social-emotional learning curriculum, each program is thoughtfully designed to engage young minds and foster a love of learning. Our child comes home excited every day, full of stories about their discoveries and proud of their accomplishments. While there are way too many events to list, some of the most memorable experiences include Apple Picking Day, Trunk or Treat, Diversity Dinners, Bubble and Magic Shows, and the Holiday Parties. The academic foundation is what is really impressive and supersedes any expectations. The curriculum strikes a perfect balance between structure and creativity. Children are encouraged to ask questions, explore their interests, and think independently. We've watched our child blossom intellectually, socially, and emotionally in ways we couldn’t have imagined so early in their development. My older child was far ahead of the curve when in kindergarten because of what he learned at Holmdel Preschool. Perhaps most importantly, the preschool feels like a second home — warm, welcoming, and inclusive. Communication with families is outstanding, and the staff truly partners with parents to support every child’s journey. We cannot recommend Holmdel Preschool highly enough. It’s more than a preschool — it’s a place where confidence grows, friendships are formed, and futures are brightened. People love to ask children at this age if they know their shapes and colors. My youngest one loves to respond by telling people they did that a long time ago, they are reading and learning math now. Our family thanks you and we are proud to be a part of this community.

Holmdel Preschool is a gem in early childhood education, offering a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. The school is equipped with modern facilities, age-appropriate learning tools, and spacious classrooms that foster creativity and exploration. The staff is exceptionally caring and professional, with teachers who are not only experienced but also genuinely invested in each child's development. The low student-to-teacher ratio ensures personalized attention, making it easier for children to thrive at their own pace.

The kids have guest speakers and go on field trips, there is always something fun happening there and they have grown and learned so much. It's a safe and clean environment which is a MUST. I know my kids are in excellent care.

Holmdel Preschool is a great school. All of the staff and the teachers are wonderful. Their programs are excellent; both the kids and the parents enjoy. An extra bonus is that there is busing available to and from Village School to Holmdel through the district.

Both of my boys started here in September. My youngest was 5 months old when he started. We love his teachers and know that they love him too. My oldest son is in Young Scholars. He is having a great first school experience. We love his teacher. She is supportive, easy to communicate with, and always willing to go above and beyond for my son. The director is open to suggestions and meets with me when I have concerns. Overall, it has been a great experience.

The school's education curriculum is awesome. My child learned a lot and achieved a grade higher than her existing grade. The school has wonderful, caring and passionate teachers and staffs. The school is not a babysitting daycare. It is a fun learning facility. My husband and I will definitely recommend the school anyone. We will definitely send our youngest child there when the time comes.

I love Holmdel Preschool so much that I am so sad that my daughter is graduating from there. She has been going there since she was 2 1/2 years old! I feel so lucky that I get to take my son there for the next 2 years just so I can go back.
