The words "Kum Sung" have become a household name in Ocean County. We run a family business that has been educating youngsters, children, teens, adults and families successfully for over a quarter of a century. We feel that a genuine commitment to education is what has contributed to our success and credibility.

The "Kum Sung" philosophy is the teaching of sincerity and respect. If these qualities are built into a child's life, it will become a part of their personality. Sung Star Academy will educate all children to be successful and strive for their personal best. The curriculum will embellish individual developmental levels and guide children socially, emotionally and academically.

"Together with our families we build parenting into our daily schedule. It will be done without the intent of replacing parents and will be accomplished through effective communication. This will be one of the many ways we plan to meet you child's individual needs."

"With an abundance of love and attention, we believe that each child should have the opportunity for his or her 'personal star' to rise." At Sung Star Academy we will strive to accomplish this.
"Your Kids are our Kids too!"

Sung Star Academy is owned by the Kum Sung Family, a trusted name in Toms River for over 25 years

The Sung Star curriculum has been created to meet the needs of all developmental levels for children under the age of six. Our program is designed to provide your child with a learning environment to meet each child’s social, intellectual, physical and emotional needs. Our philosophy is to expose, expand and explore areas of curriculum in as many ways as possible. Each child will be encouraged to develop as individuals at their own personal pace.
Sung Star’s curriculum has been designed by blending the very best of educational theories. Much time has been spent researching the most current and reputable curriculums making it unique for Sung Star Academy. We have created our curriculum based on educational masters that focus on multi sensory teachings, child centered philosophies and creative experiences.
With an Asian philosophy in mind, the driving force is to focus on age appropriate child development and the teaching of patience, building self-esteem, truth, honor and respect for self and others. In doing so we are praising children and assisting them to make good choices. We have found that this approach creates positive behavior. The use of continuous re-direction is what guides youngsters to make correct and positive choices. It is not Sung Star’s responsibility to discipline children. We believe that responsibility lies with each individual family.
We recognize that all children possess a natural curiosity. This allows a child to develop as a complete well rounded individual. One of the many program priorities is the development of a positive self-concept. In our stimulating and secure atmosphere, our children are guided through daily activities that encourage critical thinking, reasoning and evaluating the world around them This global educational approach is designed without the intention or need for skill mastery. We bring in opportunities, experiences, exploration and exposure for all age children to have the opportunity to be successful.

• Our program is planned to expand each child’s individual strengths and teach to support the undeveloped skills.
• Our program must be in harmony with individualized child development and learning theories for the particular age group. Monthly themes have been created for the school year and summer camp. Although the themes are identical, they are interpreted at an age appropriate level for the purpose of instruction.
• Our activities that are planned are based on the premise that children learn by doing; and that they learn through play.
