GOMS - Garden Of Mustard Seeds — Local services in Jersey City

Our daughter has been at GOMS for two years, and our son recently joined the infant room at six months old. After visiting every daycare within walking distance of our home, we are very happy that we chose GOMS. At GOMS, the staff members all seem to get along and take joy in their work, and they are very positive and affectionate with the children. I feel like I am dropping my children off with family every day. The teachers are so loving and have helped our daughter transition to life as a big sister. They get to know each child as an individual and personalize their care and instruction to the child's skills and interests. I get frequent text updates and photos throughout the day, especially of my son having fun in the infant room, along with updates on how he ate and napped. Ms. Mariely in the toddler room is a trained educator, and has many engaging and creative activities to build fine and gross motor skills, language, and social skills. Our daughter loves going to school every day! The facility has always been clean and bright, and they are careful with COVID...

GOMS is a hidden gem in the Jersey City Heights neighborhood. My son has been attending GOMS since he was about 9 months old and has been in all three classrooms. The staff have been exceptional caregivers, very communicative, and are loved by my son.

Some of the things we like most about GOMS: Most of the staff speak Spanish and they do some lessons in Spanish. This was a big plus for us as a Spanish speaking household. The GOMS community is a warm and welcoming one. The staff is incredibly consistent (low turnover from what I have observed) and therefore, it really gives a community feel. They never hesitate to give me updates, particularly when my son first transitioned to daycare and are always so supportive during transitions and milestones. The hours are flexible and helpful for parents commuting to work. They are also open more often than other daycares because they don’t have any week long closures, at least for the past 2 years.

My son has learned so much from his teachers and the other kids. We absolutely recommend GOMS to anyone looking for a daycare in...

My son has been attending GOMS for two years, and he's 3yo now. This is a warm and loving place with a caring staff. He had previously attended a more expensive daycare downtown, but I never quite felt comfortable with that place, which was much more cold and detached. The women of GOMS couldn't be more different. They are my neighbors, and they feel like family. They are all wonderful, but I will single out Ms. Mariely, who is a gifted and creative teacher of the toddlers. My son surprises me every day with new things he's learned from her. When my newborn daughter is ready for daycare, we'll be sending her to GOMS.

The facility is in a great location, near multiple parks for outings and convenient to public transportation for parents working in NYC. The daycare is somewhat small but very bright and clean, recently renovated, with plenty of books, toys, and art supplies in great condition. They send pictures and updates to parents through an app and are always happy to discuss any concerns. Highly...
