“I’ve taken both of my grandchildren to Gymboree Play & Music with Ms. Michele, and it’s been a wonderful experience. The facility is always clean, and the activities are thoughtful, engaging, and age-appropriate.
Over the past four years, what’s stood out most is Ms. Michele’s impact on families—especially first-time parents. It’s eye-opening to watch how naturally she reassures them during moments of concern or comparison. Her knowledge, encouragement, and positivity help parents feel confident that their children will grow, learn, and succeed at their own pace.
It’s a truly supportive and enriching environment for both children and their families.”

“Cherry Lane has been an exceptional place for my children. The staff is caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in every child's growth and happiness. It’s been such a joy to watch my kids learn new things and gain confidence each day. The environment is warm, nurturing, and structured in a way that supports both education and play. I couldn’t ask for a better team to help guide my children through these important early years!”

“OKA has been a wonderful daycare / preschool for our little ones. My daughter went here for two years and our son for a couple of months before we moved out of town and had to move our kids elsewhere. We really miss it here.
The staff are kind and caring. Our infant refused a bottle and the girls worked tirelessly to get him to drink milk. It was because of them we were able to narrow down one specific sippy cup he would drink from. They kept me updated around the clock. The communication in this facility is unparalleled.
The girls in the preschool room were always very nurturing with our 3 year old who could sometimes get emotional. Always felt like she was given undivided attention even in a full classroom.
Veanna was always flexible and accommodating with our needs. She is honest about any issues with the kids. At one point another student was rough with our daughter on two occasions and unfortunately the child was expelled but I felt comfort knowing my daughter was safe.
Every experience is different but I’m happy to say ours was exceptional.”
“We had all 3 of our children attend Beachwood Nursery School (youngest still attending). Nothing but positive experiences for all. Caring instructors, conveniently located, and affordable.”
“We were skeptical because of course who isn't when trying to pick a daycare for your child. Our 3.5 year old is very hyper active and NEEDS constant stimulation. He is not rwccomended for a full day of special education day care through toms river but he does go in the morning. We've gone through early intervention and all that. I've had a sour taste in my mouth from the previous schools we've been to - the learning experience in toms river and the learning ladder in lacey. Both were not equipped to handle a hyperactive child whatsoever. I was getting called every single day to pick him up.
Sebastian is thriving at smart start academy after bring there almost 1 month ! Everyone here is so kind. He comes home and talks about his friends. He's happy to go to school and i think that means something coming from a 3.5 year old !! Thank you ♥️”
“I’m so happy we found As We Grow for our 6 month old. Our experience has been great and our baby comes home happy and well cared for every time. The teachers are so kind and helpful especially since we are first time parents.”
“The teachers at Goddard are very loving and caring to my child. He has learned so much since starting. Knowing he is always cared for while in school puts my mind at ease.”

“This place is a gem. I visit my daughter often and have been very impressed with this school for my grandson. Cameron loves going there, and that speaks volumes. Another thing that I love are the meals. Nutritious snacks and hot lunch with veggies. Lots of fun activities to keep him occupied. One of the best things about living in Jackson.”
“Im new to the area moved from toms river and all 3 of my kids 8months a 5yr and my oldest 10yr go there and they love it the staff is amazing thank you forever young”

“My two children of different ages were at this daycare...the teaching and preparation was incredible. When they took their entrance exam for kindergarten, they were surprised by their highest level acquired. It has its details like any place but it is and will be a good place for a great start.”

“It’s my sons first year and we both absolutely love it!! The staff are amazing and are so helpful. I was very nervous at first to leave him there but they reassured me. He’s now always so happy to go to school. I can’t wait until my youngest son is able to come here!”
