[six weeks- one year old] In our infant room, our teachers are assisting in your infants early developmental growth. Our flexibility allows us to follow your specific schedule to make child care an easy transition for your infant. Our infants are exposed to our “learning through play” technique, where they will join in on activities such as, ‘touch + feel flashcards”, tummy time, music, and story time.

[one year old + walking steadily] In our waddler room, your child is now on the move! We offer a safe and fun environment for your waddler to explore. Your child will begin to participate in circle time and outdoor play. Our teachers will continue to stimulate your child’s curiosity through art, music, bubble-time, and story time.

[two years old] Your child is beginning to soak in information like a sponge and we are taking full advantage of this opportunity to help them grow academically. Your child’s language development will begin to take leaps and strides. Our toddler teachers will aid your child in using these language skills to work on their colors, shapes, alphabets, numbers, spanish, and sign language. Your child will learn these skills through both structure and play.

[three yeas old] In our preschool room we continue to make strides with language development. We are also becoming more independent as we develop more social skills. Playing with our friends is so much easier as we are speaking so much more clearly. Your child will participate in circle time, tracing + cutting skills, as well as letter sounds + recognition. With daily focus on individual letters, your child will begin to recognize that each letter of the alphabet makes its very own sound.

[four years old] In our PreK room, we are learning so much to prepare you for Kindergarten. This structured classroom allows your child the opportunity to learn all while having fun! We will be working on name practice, number and alphabet journals, cutting skills, art, Spanish, sign language, music, yoga, and science experiments! There are no naps in our PreK, which gives us so much more time for learning opportunities.

[five years old] At Smarty Pants we have a private Kindergarten that is fully accredited by the state. Our Kindergarten teacher is state-certified and we follow Brick Township + Toms River curriculum to make it an easy transition to first grade. We only accept fifteen students, allowing more one-on-one interactions to make sure your child is given every opportunity to succeed. Our Kindergarten program is 9:00am-3:00pm with before and aftercare options available.

[five years old - ten years old] We offer before and aftercare to school-aged children. If you live in Brick Township, the following schools bus to and from Smarty Pants:

-Emma Havens Elementary School

-Drum Point Elementary School.

[Before Care] You may drop your child off as early as 6:30am and their bus will pick them up and take them to school. You must set this up with Brick Township Transportation. If you pack a breakfast, it will be offered up until 7:30am.

[After Care] Your child may be dropped off between 3:00pm-3:40pm depending on their school. You must set this up with Brick Township Transportation. Your child will be offered a snack, which you provide, upon arrival off of the bus. Your child will be given time to complete his/her homework and then play with their friends before going home.

{Before + Aftercare] If you enroll in both before + aftercare, all the activities above will be available to your child at one set price.

[five years old - ten years old] In our Summer Camp Program, we have a new theme each week. We participate in arts and crafts, music, weekly water-play, science experiments, and field trips! Our Summer Camp is fully equipped with an air-hockey table, a playground, and giant building blocks.
