Ms. Angela, Ms. Kayla, Ms. Tamia, & Ms. Zeba have been there from day one and are amazing early educators. I cannot thank them enough for the care & education they provide my children with on a daily basis. Other teachers/aides are also wonderful with the children, Ms. Sam & Alyssa have been wonderful additions to the classroom. The front office staff is very friendly, super helpful with communication, and answering any questions that may arise. Jamie, Julie, Bonnie, and Amy have always been supportive and available to our family and I've even seen them help out in the classrooms with the children when needed. The school has camera access so when I get a chance, I often see the children learning to write, sensory learning, circle time, and many librarian visits. They also offer breakfast, lunch, snack, & transportation. Kiddie Academy in Toms River has been a huge support for my family.

I was worried about my sons transition as he was so young when he started. they updated me on every little thing, the staff was attentive and loving, like family. Any issues with my son were immediately reported to me, and properly documented at all times. My son absolutely loved this school. Every child and parent I've seen attending cherry lane, are happy and smiling. the staff are all well trained and attentive to the children AND the parents. Family events welcoming extended family are also common occurrences here. Any problems or worries I've had were always addressed right away. Sadly I needed to change schools due to distance, but I will forever recommend this school to any parent looking to feel like they're dropping their children off with a family member when dropping their child at school. No other daycare like it, family owned and not a chain daycare! One of a kind, my family will miss them greatly.
