Schools near Manasquan, NJ

“I can’t express how grateful I am for the amazing care my child receives at Kindercare. The staff is incredibly nurturing and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming environment where my toddler feels safe and happy. The activities are engaging and educational, fostering both creativity and social skills. I truly appreciate the dedication and love they put into each day. Thank you for being such a wonderful second home for my little Roo.”

“I can't say enough amazing things about TLE Manasquan. We previously had a nanny, so I was sure the transition to daycare would be a huge adjustment for our daughter and for us. I was skeptical and worried… but I am shocked by how much she loves it, how much we love it, and how quickly she’s learning and developing.

TLE has given me the one thing you can’t buy: peace of mind.

From the moment we walk in, Ms. Julia and Ms. Aga at the front desk make us feel so welcomed and cared for. My daughter talks about them at home, says goodnight to them at night, and cannot wait to see them in the morning.

Her teachers (Ms. Rin, Ms. Jenna, and Ms. Sam) are warm, soft, patient, and incredibly kind. I genuinely don’t know how they do what they do, but I’m so grateful that they do. They’ve created such a loving, safe environment for my daughter to thrive.

I am so thankful we found the right place for us. They put us at ease in a way I didn’t think was possible.”

“I had no intention to send my son to daycare, but after a family emergency left us in need of childcare we enrolled him here, and I am so glad we did. The staff is incredibly friendly and warm, it’s a place where everybody truly knows your name and your child’s name. The students are engaged throughout the day in a variety of activities and they even offer special events for parents to join in.
Today is my son’s last day, and I am genuinely sad to say good-bye after a wonderful 16 months. If our town didn’t have universal PK, he’d still be with the wonderful staff at the Tintin Falls TLE.”

“My daughter attends kindercare and it has been a great benefit to her. She has a great time at kindercare in toms river. Her teachers Mrs Gina and Karen are great with her and the other students. Mrs Sue is also great and very interactive with the children. My daughter is always excited to be with her friends every day. I think over all she has had a great experience at kindercare of toms river.”

“My sons started off at a very popular school in Tom’s River and we had an awful experience there and were forced to find another school. Thankfully we decided to go with Goddard in brick. Both of my sons have now been there for 3 months and I can honestly say we love it. My older son had “behavioral issues” at his old school which I knew were completely out of character for him and due to staffing issues. At Goddard both of my boys are THRIVING. The teachers are amazing, helpful and not bothered by having a discussion or sharing information about the kids days at school. Everyone has been so welcoming and friendly and it is such a breath of fresh air. I can honestly say moving my boys to Goddard was the best decision we could’ve made.”

“Ive worked in early childhood education for 20 years. So deciding where to send my daughter to school was an important decision . When we went on our tour of MMA I was blown away by the beautiful classroom design, the love and care of the staff , the attention to detail that Montessori believes in that shined in every aspect of the school and every child’s smiling face we saw along the way .My daughters first year of school has been a dream come true . She has developed such important skills beyond the alphabet and numbers. Her confidence and love of herself , her friends , her teachers , and the world around her are all a wonderful foundation for her life of learning . I have had the privilege to work in many schools over my career. Ive never experienced anything like what MMA has to offer children and their families . Each child’s unique abilities are given the space to shine. We have found our home and community here .”

“My daughter loves Happy Days!!! It has completely changed her :) she’s so happy making friends and loves the staff so much!! I recommend Happy Days pre k 100%”

“Our daughter has been attending Little Giggles from 9 months old. She is almost 3. She is so comfortable there, loves all her teachers & is busy all day! It’s been an extension of our home. We love the updates throughout the day on the app and while we wish we can stay with our little one all day long, Little Giggles has made us feel so comfortable leaving our most precious in their care!”

“Our family loves Little Rascals!!! My daughter has been attending since she was 4 months old and I literally have not had one complaint. The teachers are so attentive and caring, the school is always super clean, and I always feel confident that my daughter is in the most capable hands while she is there. Ms. Jen the director is so accessible and you can tell she cares about every single child that comes through those doors. Little Rascals is a family we are happy to be a part of!”

“Tiny treasures has been absolutely wonderful & a true god send to our family. Everyone is wonderful there! With a couple other daycares to compare too, I have never felt so secure & confident with my boys care than ever before. They truly think about the families at a whole. So appreciate the date night opportunity after hours as an added bonus- we haven’t hired a sitter thus far! My boys are happy to go to school and in great moods as they are picked up as well. I love that there is a curriculum & love all the art work sent home daily. So blessed to be a part of the Tiny Treasures Family. Thank you for all that you do!”

“I enrolled my son in the infant room when he was 4 months old and he's now about to move to the toddler room at Creative Castle. I've been very happy with our experience there. The teachers genuinely care about his well being, have been great working with me on feeding and nap transitions, and I love that he happily runs into class in the morning excited to see his friends. The center is clean, has great teacher retention, and my son is learning so much! Definitely recommend!”

“We had a baby in 2023 and looked at Ocean Early at the suggestion of our neighbor. We couldn’t be more happy with the care she gets there. The teachers in her room are attentive, loving, and rockstars at their jobs. They made us feel welcomed and at ease especially when we were starting there as new parents. We love that they do various developmental activities - tummy time, reading, sensory exploring, outdoor time, bubbles, and so much more. Every day during drop off or pick up I’ve seen them be actively engaged with the babies. They’re flexible depending on your own preferences in terms of bottle preferences, nap timing, and more. The online/app system they use for communication is easy to use, and we appreciate the updates for naps, bottles, meals, daily needs, and the fun photos. So glad we found them!”

“Stepping Stone daycare gives me peace of mind!I work everyday until late and the one thing that worries me the most, besides my baby’s safety & well being ; is his eating. Ever since I explained my worries to my son’s teacher... she has been trying a little harder to make sure his meals are being eaten. Not only does this make me feel at ease, but it truly touches my heart that his teacher understands me. I call many times, and I speak with them almost daily about new concerns. So I am very very happy I can trust this daycare with my son. I fully recommend it!”
