Aqua-Tots Swim Schools 1358 Hooper Avenue Suite 25 Toms River, NJ 08753 (732) 917-4743
 |
It all started in a pool, but not one of the indoor, 90° pools that tots have come to love over the last 29 years. Our mission began in a community pool in Tempe, Arizona, where one teenage lifeguard taught one single lesson, and a dream was born ... to save lives by teaching children all over the world how to become safe and confident swimmers for life.
Aqua-Tots offers eight levels of comprehensive swim lessons for all ages and abilities starting as early as 4 months old. Each of the swimming lesson levels is designed to build upon the next, taking your child on a journey toward becoming a safe and confident swimmer for life. Lessons are offered for Parent-Tots classes, 4:1 ratio group, semi-private and private.

Eastside Dance Company is fully dedicated to educating dancers in the art of dance. We pride ourselves in having a well-organized studio with a loving, nurturing environment that maintains age-appropriate choreography in a family friendly atmosphere.
While offering a wide variety of dance styles, we focus on building the dancer's technique, growing artists, and instilling skills that promote success far beyond the dance floor. We believe that personal growth and self-esteem are important results of dance education. Hard work pays off not only by improving dance technique but also by promoting a healthy lifestyle and developing our students' personal understanding of dedication. Through meeting personal goals and accomplishments dancers build self-esteem and confidence.
In addition to challenging our students, we believe that learning the art of dance should be a joyful experience. Enjoyment and love for activities supports the development of confident, resilient individuals who strive to make a positive impact in our community.
With three dance rooms, a staff of over a dozen, and offering more than sixty classes a week, we have a class for everyone.

The owner, Julia DeDominick DeRites, strives to create a professional, well organized, and positive atmosphere where children can grow and flourish. She gives the glory to God for the opportunity to provide dance to our community and is passionate about developing not only great dancers and well-rounded performers, but also instilling a kindness and appreciation for the art of dance and all who make dance possible. She is dedicated to teaching dancers the importance of being a lifelong learner, being appreciative for the gift of dance, and teaching many valuable life lessons learned through dance. Most importantly she believes in teaching kindness both on and off the dance floor.

From A Dancer’s Pointe 1256 Indian Head Road, Toms River, New Jersey 08755 732.286.2022
At From A Dancer’s Pointe, we seek to enrich our students' artistic and personal growth; to nurture and develop the students' technique in a supportive and professional manner as well as experiencing the enjoyment and fulfillment a dancer can achieve through the art of dance. Our goal is to help students discover what they are physically and artistically capable of and how they can gain focus, discipline, and dedication which will, in turn, transcend through to everyday aspects of life. We believe that a dancer must set personal goals that will enable them to gain a sense of responsibility and pride in their abilities. We hope that all of our students and their families will be provided with the education and inspiration necessary to enjoy a loving and nurturing dance environment.
As a school we are dedicated to helping each student achieve physical excellence and personal discipline, while exploring the art of dance. We believe that through a systematic and step-by-step training program, the student will develop positive self-esteem by achieving clearly established goals. We recognize that each student possesses different strengths and we encourage them to reach for their own personal goals. We believe this develops strong life skills. Our curriculum also includes a competitive performance company that enhances the student’s ability to work together as a team, build camaraderie and to learn dedication and trust towards other. The reward for performing is the personal satisfaction gained from the response of an audience.
The staff at “From A Dancer’s Pointe” have an extremely strong combined background in arts management, dance instruction, dance performance, administrative management, education and leadership. Our background and commitment to offering exceptional quality and service to customers without compromise will set us apart from many other dance studios. We are unique in our backgrounds, credentials, degree of professionalism and philosophy. We believe that a dance education is aimed at developing disciplined, technically trained, well balanced students. Whether going on to a professional career in dance or dancing for pure enjoyment students will be able to apply these attributes they have learned throughout their lives.

Gymboree Play & Music of Toms River 1333 Route 9, Toms River, NJ 08755 (732) 349-7988
At Gymboree Play & Music, we encourage exploration and self-expression through activities where children will learn to conquer new challenges and reach developmental milestones. The best learning happens through play! Play is essential to brain development and a child's social, cognitive, and physical growth.
We offer Parent and Child classes starting as early as 3 months to age 6! We also off preschool drop off classes as well as semi drop off classes and birthday parties! Visit our website for the current class schedule.Crawlers (6-14 months): We boogie down with our babies, get up and dance, give them baby massages, sing them songs, and explore new physical challenges every week through teacher-led activities on the equipment. Explore tummy time from a new perspective or on a new texture, slide down slides on soft lambskins, or take a ride in a gentle swing! Play as a group and socialize with others! Sing songs, learn a routine, and PLAY!
Walkers (10-18 months): We’ll explore new physical challenges every week through teacher-led activities, with a focus on different ways to use each piece of our equipment. Crawl through tunnels, explore different textures, slide down slides (or climb up slides!), toddle over bridges, or take a ride in a swing!! We’ll also practice social skills and memory building through sing-alongs and group-play.
Runners (16-24 months): It’s all about opposites: loud and quiet, fast and slow, up and down! Contrasting ‘themes’ help your child learn better ways to communicate. We move across the bridge slowly and then fast! They'll learn how to control body movements and use their body to navigate and problem solve across monkey bars, giant cushions, and through little tunnels. We’ll also practice repetition and routine with regular parachute and bubble activities. Soon your little one will be leading the Gymbo Dance!
Explorers (2-3 years): Our play floor comes to life with trips to the grocery store, eating pizza, finding animals, and even bugs! We’ll use creativity and imagination in all activities. Throw a pretend party, imagine a wild trip to outer space, or pretend to be an ant in a bug’s world...we’ll transform our playscape into a whole new world!
