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.

New I would like to share my disappointing experience with…read moreWestminster school. My grandson was potty training. His teacher initially assured me that the school would follow our routine. However, when the teacher went on leave the teachers assistant took over and expressed that she couldn't regularly inquire about my grandson's needs. this seemed unreasonable, especially considering his age. The situation escalated when the teachers assistant falsely accused me of being aggressive. I was disappointed by the administrators handling of the situation, including false claims that I had instructed other parents on snack options due to my grandson's egg allergy. The administrators dishonesty coupled the teachers assistance. Actions led to our decision to withdraw my grandson from the school. The administrator, subsequent expressions of sadness seemed in sincere as it appeared to be motivated by financial concerns. I just want to caution others that it appears to be a culture of dishonesty among staff members. If a teacher assistant inability to engage in a conversation with a grandparent because she is sensitive. She shouldn't be interacting with the public. No one knew that the teacher went out on maternity leave.

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.
