Schools in Toms River, NJ

“We absolutely love Ms. Michele and Gymboree - all the teachers actually! My son and daughter have both attended Gymboree classes and I could not be more thrilled and grateful! As a mom who recently moved to South Jersey I was so unfamiliar with the area or things to get my kids involved in. Gymboree was one of the first places I tried and I’m so happy I did! My son went to the School Skills program and excelled! He was so comfortable and the teachers were so attentive. It was a no brainer to sign him up for their summer Bubble Camp as well. He absolutely loved it and still talks about it to this day. He’s now in Pre K, but I just recently signed my daughter up for the open play days with Ms. Michele. To no surprise, she absolutely loves it as well! I just can’t say enough great things!!”

“We have had a wonderful experience at Peppermint Tree this year! It was my son's first year of ever going to school and he had never attended a daycare. He was nervous to say the least. Within the first two weeks of going just a couple times a week it was like he was going to his favorite place! He has learned so much and gained so much confidence. The teachers, assistants and Miss Val have all been so lovely to him and the rest of our family. Family has been encouraged to attend many of the events throughout the school year and there is a very strong sense of community. We've had a wonderful experience and we would gladly recommend Peppermint Tree to anyone!”

“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.”

“Westminster Nursery School has been my daughters home away from home for the last three years. She truly loved every teacher she has had from Pre-K 3-Kindergarten. It is incredible how much she has learned and grown both academically and personally. She looked forward to going to school every day!
My son started pre-k 3 this year and he had a rough time adjusting at first. His teachers were INCREDIBLY patient and even administration spent some time making him feel more comfortable. By the end of the year, he is crying thinking about leaving his teachers.
From the teachers to the administration, I highly recommend this school to anyone. We had such a great experience and will truly miss it!”

“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.”

“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!”

“I enjoy smart start academy. My 3 youngest have attended. They had a good experience there. I feel as my kids are being taken care of well. During Covid precautions are being handled well in daycare center. I am very proud that my kids have learned and have grown here. Currently my toddler is attending. Very accommodating. Thank Smart start. Also I am happy with the staff. They work well together. This is a good team.”
