My daughter has loved her time at Smart Start shes been going here since she was 2 months! The staff are so nice, Every day she comes home excited to tell me about the fun activities, crafts, and games she’s done. I feel confident knowing she’s in a safe, nurturing environment. The communication from the staff is also excellent—they always keep me updated. Highly recommend this place to any parent looking for a supportive and fun program!
Absolutely wonderful! My 4 year old daughter has been going for over a year and loves and enjoys everyday. The summer themes and activities is great! And love getting to see her day on the app and photos! All teachers and staff and so nice and help her on days shes homesick. So kind and friendly.
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 ♥️
My first child goes here . I love this school it’s been the best learning experience for me and my daughter who is 3 and I seen so much growth since she’s started . This is our second school . The first school she didn’t really enjoy . Everyday my child is eager to go to school . Makes me excited to see my child happy . I love Ms.Susan and the rest of the Smart Start Academy. I Just wanna thank the school and the teachers for the wonderful experience!
The prices are probably the best around the Toms River area and Mrs. Patti, Mrs. Cathy, and Mrs. Denise are great with my son. Even during his rough moments, they would talk to me about his behavior and provide suggestions on how to help him. The teachers through out the years have been so creative on keeping the kids entertained and busy.
