My children have been going for three years now & I love the daycare. Great teachers. Amazing office staff. Wonderful summer camp. 10/10

★★★★★Meaghan Keple

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.

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!
