“We could not be happier that we chose this preschool prep program for our daughter. After being at home with only family during the pandemic, she was facing severe anxiety about separation. Miss Sally and her team were so warm and welcoming and did everything they could to ease the transition for her. Our daughter now wakes up so excited to go to school every day. We know that these years set the tone for how she will feel about education for the rest of her life and we are overjoyed that this got to be her first experience!”

“Thank you and your amazing staff for all that you do! The kindness, patience and love you’ve shown both of my children has made all the difference! We truly appreciate everything, thank you.”

“I just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful year! He loved every day at Creative Groove. We definitely feel that we chose the best preschool prep in the area. Also, the book was such a wonderful gift which I can tell he will cherish.”

“We had a great experience there with my son and his friend! Sally and all of the teachers were wonderful!”

“We wanted to take a moment and thank you for your kindness, patience, and attention this year. Our son loves school and it’s because you have created such an incredible community!”

“Just wanted to take a minute to recommend Creative Groove Preschool! It has been a wonderful experience for our 2.5 year old son. He's really blossomed and school has been a bright light in our lives during these challenging times.

If you're looking for a pre-school (2-3 year olds or 3-4 year olds) for next year, I HIGHLY recommend checking out Creative Groove.”

"We absolutely loved Creative Groove. It was our 2.5 year old daughters first experience with a drop off program (coupled with being with us non-stop due to covid) so it was a tough transition for her. Ms. Sally, Ms. Melissa and ALL of the teachers could not have been more patient and caring. You can tell they truly care about your child and that they have a happy and positive experience while they are in their care. I can not say enough wonderful things about the program. It is a true gem in Hoboken and I don't think many places like it exist."

“Just wanted to tell you how much I absolutely loved all the adorable Mother’s Day masterpieces Charlie made with you at school! The pictures of him blowing “heart kisses” are my new favorite photos of him ever! Thank you for all the thought and planning you put into their projects. I love that you always find ways to create beautiful pieces without constraining or “controlling” the kids’ creativity and self-discovery!"

“Thank you for a wonderful first day of Creative Groove. From sitting in the reception area I could hear the warmth and amazing energy from the teachers and could tell they were keeping the kids very busy! Kyle said he had so much fun. Thank you for a great first experience.”

“Thanks again to you and your staff for a lovely “school” experience for Emily this past Winter and Spring. It was such a wonderful experience for her!”

“I can’t believe we’re wrapping up the year at Creative Groove! It’s been so fun to watch Colbie grow and flourish in your program. I wanted to get the teachers a little something to thank them for such a wonderful year. Thanks again for a great experience at Creative Groove!”

“The Creative Groove program has been a wonderfully positive experience for Jordan’s first drop-off experience. The warm, nurturing, and creative environment has really helped him to feel confident and excited about coming to “school.” He wakes up excited about going to school and runs in with enthusiasm. It is always difficult as a parent to leave your child in a new environment. But I was immediately impressed with the gentle way that the teachers at Creative Groove welcomed Jordan and helped him to feel comfortable. He often will comment, “I love Miss. Nicole,” which is what you want your kid to say about his teacher! I am very grateful to Sally and the teachers for making Jordan’s first “school” experience a positive one.”

“Creative Groove has been an amazing introduction to education for my son over these past two years. The experienced-based learning has furthered the intellectual curiosity in my three year old and gave him the perfect preparation for the years ahead. Sally and her team are the best and the kids all get along so well together.”

“I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful experience Emma is having this year. The warmth and caring that you provide the kids is truly special.”

“Thank you for making this school year so much fun for Hannah! We are so blessed to have found Creative Groove!”

“Amazing experience! Small group and so helpful with potty training! Sally answered all my questions and eased all my fears as a FTM doing a drop-off.”

“If anyone is looking for an amazing pre-school prep program (2-3 year olds) for their little one, look no further than Creative Groove! We can’t recommend the program enough. The owner has been extremely accommodating and cautious while navigating our new normal this past school year. She and the teachers are all very warm and energetic. Our little guy is always excited to go and tells us he misses school on his days off. We are so grateful that Creative Groove has helped him develop a very positive attitude toward school.”

“I just wanted to tell you how much we LOVED being at Creative Groove! Grace has grown so much and I truly see growth all around and that is totally because of you and your teachers.”

“Our 3 year old LOVES Creative Groove Studio! He has learnt so much within months of starting with Creative Groove Studio and he absolutely adores Miss Sally and the teachers. We wish we had signed up sooner!”

“We can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful year! Claire just adores you and the other teachers; just saying your names brings a huge grin to her face. Your warmth, excitement, and enthusiasm brought so much joy in a year fraught with challenges. It has been amazing to see Claire grow this year: talking, interacting, dancing, and yoga-ing with confidence, and you had such a big part of that.

We are genuinely sad this year has come to an end, Claire is going to miss you, all the teachers, and seeing her friends every week. Good luck to you and your staff, and thank you again for a fantastic year!”

“Thank you all for giving Livia the best first year of school! The Creative Groove program so far exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be happier with how Livia has grown and matured over this past year. You have all been so wonderful and nurturing to our girl and you made our first separation easy. Thank you a million for all of your hard work, care taking and love over this past year..”

“Thank you so much for the lovely books, the photo card and thoughtful notes you sent with the girls. It was so nice of you & made me cry! All the artwork is lovely too! You do a great job & I couldn’t have asked for a better start for the girls.”

“Your program was wonderful for JP and we will highly recommend it to our friends!”

“We enrolled our daughter in the Creative Groove Preschool Alternative in September and she went two times a week until June. The program was tailored perfectly to her and her classmates and included a variety of centers and activities. I felt that the teachers gave so much attention and time to her and even helped her when she was being potty-trained. She was always excited to go to school and returned happy and excited! I highly recommend this program to everyone as a stepping stone to preschool. We loved it and feel so lucky that our daughter had this opportunity to grow, sing, dance, paint, laugh and learn.”

“I just wanted to say Thank You for such a great program. Ali LOVED school. The staff you have are all so loving and happy….it felt good leaving Ali with such good people. I would have continued the program this summer, but we are leaving Hoboken.”

“I can’t thank you enough for having such a wonderful school that both of my boys have loved (and love) and for taking such great care of them.”

“Thank you for expanding our son’s world and caring for him the way you do.”

“Our daughter Emma started at Creative Groove when she was just over 2 years old and absolutely loved it! This was our first drop off program and the first week was a little hard for her, the owner Sally was so caring and amazing. Sally would send photos and updates letting me know how Emma was doing on those difficult days, putting me at ease. By the 2nd week, I would drop Emma off and she would run in without even looking back. She looked forward to going to school and loved Sally and her teachers so much. Emma would come home and sing songs she learned at school and would be so proud of the art projects she brought home as well. We are excited to have her attend again in the Fall and highly recommended this program! “

“It has now been a year since we got to know you, and you are still a person we talk about almost daily. The picture frames my daughter made with our pictures in are now in her room and she always tells me that this is what ‘! made in Ms Sally’s school”.”

“Thank you so much for all that you do to ensure the students are learning and growing. We are so very thankful that we found your school for our Hoboken experience. We so appreciate you and will miss you when we move.”

“My son is currently enrolled in the prek prep program. 5 kids and two GREAT teachers per class. The theme-based program incorporates art, music, dance, drama, and yoga into kids’ daily routine building and free play. Mandatory 100 percent mask-on policy to ensure the safety of all attending the session. I honestly don't know how, but these 2-yr olds do keep their masks all the time, except for the snack time. And the owner is SO flexible, reasonable, and sensible to each family's situation during Covid.”

“Words cannot express how blessed we are to have had the opportunity to meet you and all your teachers at Creative Groove.

Thank you so so much for all you’ve done for all the kids—you go above and beyond in caring for and recognizing each of your students as unique little people. We went to read “Be You” at bedtime and your photo personalization and beautiful note made me cry happy - we will treasure this book forever.”

Yay Sally! The best experience, you made this bizarre year so magical. The teachers, the space, the activities did so much to help Penelope grow and develop. Thank you so much for taking the best care and nurturing Penelope so much

“We wanted our son, Michael, to have experience in a structured school setting- following teachers’ directions, socializing with peers, and attending to lessons before enrolling in full day preschool the following school year and “get into the groove for preschool” was just what we were looking for! Michael blossomed in school. His language and creativity exploded. He came home demonstrating yoga poses, singing songs, telling us facts about animals and dinosaurs and built lasting friendships with classmates. The teachers always welcomed our son with a smile and encouraged his inquisitive nature..”

“Kyle came out of class yesterday with two beautiful pieces of art, a huge smile and said “that was so much fun!!”

“I’m very sad the year is over. Julia has really enjoyed her first preschool experience and I thank you for making it a really great one.”

“Can’t believe the school year will be wrapping up soon. It truly has been a wonderful experience.”

“This class has been a wonderful growing experience for Asher and we are so sad to see it come to an end as we look forward to his new preschool adventures in the fall!”
