“I have two kids attending Tiny Tykes and cannot imagine being happier with the care my kids get each day. The teachers truly love the kids, and if that was it I'd be thrilled but on top of that, the amount my kids are learning is astounding. They will be so far ahead of the game once they start kindergarten.”

“Our journey with Ikidz Daycare has been truly Wonderful. My daughter, Eleen, flourished under the care of Ms. Maria, Ms. Naomi, and Ms. Ana. Their genuine dedication created a nurturing environment where my daughter eagerly anticipated each day.Ms. Maria, Ms Naomi and Ms Ana have a lot of patience and compassion which made a profound impact on my daughter's development. Their love for teaching was evident in every interaction.I must also acknowledge Ms. Elaine for her exceptional help during the discharge process. Her professionalism and support made the transition smooth and stress-free.In summary, Ikidz Daycare exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking a caring and enriching environment for their child.”

“I took the microblading and SMP training with Jina and Dana . They are a very great instructor and very sweet. I’ve learned so much from them.She is very patient and takes her time to explain things to make sure I understand.I would definitely recommend taking this class with Jina”

“We have been sending our kids from 2011- 1 daughter and she graduated 2 daughter from 2014 and she graduated .. now my son 2022 now in twaddler … always best … The day care always clean and organized.. Madhu keep the parents and teachers with good communication… My kids clearly feel the love and warmth from their teachers, which is invaluable as a parent. It is hard to trust others to care for your children, especially infants, when you wish as a parent you could do it yourself. But I have been so happy with their care, and have watched my kids grow, develop and thrive.Mohanambal”

“Kiddie academy is truly professional for the youth education. My child comes home with a big smiley face everyday. The teachers are very caring, loving and patient with the children. The daily circle time is my child’s favorite, which helped to develop her reading habit. Definitely one of the top early educational place to go!”

“I wanted to thank Mrs. Ms.Lova (Julia) my son loves you very much, you are a very good teacher in such a short time you taught him a lot.

“So happy we found St Marks Nursery School. My son spent two summers going to camp there and was enrolled in the three and fours program. The teachers and staff are phenomenal. Fun, loving, energetic personalities that keep the kids always wanting to learn. They learn through play, reading, interactive activities and field trips and so much more. There is a music class that they all attend which is amazing, where the kids are so involved and having fun. The playground is a very special place as well. Because it is a co-op, parents are very involved which really gives it that family/community feel. Participations days at the school are a highlight for me. I love being in class with my kids seeing what they do and getting to spend time with them there. We’ve met some amazing friends while at St Marks which was so nice since we were new to the area. My oldest is now in kindergarten and excelling. I know it’s because of the experience he had at St Marks. My daughter is now in the 3s program and thriving and making friends and having a blast. So happy she still has this coming summer and next year so we can continue to be a part of the St Marks family.”

“I love the Community House. The best kept secret in Forest Hills! We have years and years living in this neighborhood and just found out about the CH ... a friend told me and we became members. I'm so glad to be part of this family ????”

“Linda and her team worked worked very hard to accommodate my 1 year old son into their infant program.The school has been a blessing to my family. The Day care has very flexible hours and they allow drop off as early as 7AM and pickup as late as 6PM which is wonderful for working parents, such as myself.The Daycare provides Breakfast, lunch and snacks. The meals are Kosher (we prefer Halal & Kosher food) and are prepared fresh daily.The teachers are amazing! The wonderful teachers really make this place what it is, and my son looks forward to going there every day.Communication is terrific and we are notified of everything. I receive pictures daily of my son participating in various activities. My husband and I have noticed a huge change in his development and the school has helped him achieve all of the important milestones.I cannot recommend this school enough!I am very grateful to Linda and her staff for taking care of my son and for providing him with so much love and care, while he is away from home.”

“My son attends UPK at this facility and we could not be more happy with his progress! His classroom and building are warm and inviting. He enjoys playing in the playground each and every day. The staff is amazing and attentive!”

“I am so happy this location has full service. Not a lot of Gas stations provide the full service. I know you pay a price but is sure worth it. Price is less than expected.”

“After spending the first 15 months at home with baby, the process of finding a great daycare that would met my needs and wants was not an easy task. From the minute we came for a tour, baby was very responsive, walking up to the administrative staff. It was clear my child was very pleased and enjoyed the environment.Having access to the app to see all the pictures that are posted and any questions I may have during the day is also an added benefit. Since starting at the wooden shoe, there is so much noticeable social development that we have witnessed, especially learning. Singing the alphabet , counting and just more socially excited and engaged with people are some of the few benefits of this daycare. Most importantly, from the minute I drop off my child I am not anxious, worried or concerned, because I know they are being properly cared for and loved on. All the teachers know my childs name and are soo kind. Kids want to feel important and have a desire for belonging. I can see by the way my child is excited about daycare from the minute we park the car out front, that they feel the love from everyone there. Every meal, diaper change and naps are tracked in the app, thats some great attention to detail. Even when you are away you can still keep track of what your child is doing in the day, its nice.Some other things I like that are not related to childcare, i really like how responsive the administrative staff is. I can send an email in the morning and get extremely fast responses. As a healthcare professional, I take professionalism extremely seriously, so this is a huge plus. I really like how they present themselves when it comes down to my questions and providing answers. Also, we communicate with the teacher what we are teaching our child at home, and the teacher reinforces that in school and vice versa. Its great all around.Daycare is an investment in your child's future. And this is an investment that we are extremely happy to make. This place is an answered prayer, very grateful to God for everyone at the Wooden Shoe :)”

“Rohan and David are amazing people that helped me in English and math and also I increased twenty points on my ACT - would highly recommend to others who need help”

“Our son has been going to this school since he turned 2 years old. GNCS is a wonderful school with a devoted parent body, a highly experienced teaching staff and a great facility that includes a massive playground and outdoor class room. The school provides a safe and enriched environment for kids to grow, develop and thrive. It is definitely the top choice for daycare school in the Great Neck area. Highly recommended!”

“My son goes to school here, and I couldn't be happier that he does! The principal, the teachers, and even the lady in the front office are SO nice and respectful. The children do fun, cute activities and they get play time and nap time. The children also get breakfast and lunch FOR FREE! My son is learning to be more independent. I'd recommend anyone to send their kids here. My son is in 3K, and as soon as my daughter is old enough I'm going to enroll her here too.”

“I love this school as well as the teachers and staff at Stepping Stone Pre and Grade School. They know every kid by name as well as the child’s needs, enabling them to provide all that is needed for each child to learn and grow! My daughter currently attends Stepping stone the teachers have been beyond amazing, and passionate about educating the children. They really know what they are doing & are very well trained. The classrooms’ presence is very warm and welcoming while the teachers seem to maintain an encouraging fun vibe so the children seem to have a lot of fun in class and are excited to go to school!”

“My 3 children have attended kids campus. Kids campus has been a part of our lives for 12 years and all I can say are positive things. My children started attending from 6 weeks and graduated Pre K there. The level of care that we received starting from infancy was exceptional. Both my girls were more than ready by the time they started kindergarten. Being a working mother and having Kids campus has been the biggest blessing for my family. I am grateful to all the teachers and directors that have and continue to create a safe and secure space for my children.”

“I’ve had the best experience at Ivy prep. My daughter went since she was 8 months and believe me when she left this school she was advanced for kindergarten. The school is clean, the teachers are attentive and loving. The food is well balanced. I was contacted for everything and the learning is phenomenal. I would put my next kid here if I needed to.”

“They are a God send...my daughter loves it th there an I would highly recommend. I love ms patty and ms Gloria they are so kind to my daughter an she is doing so well...the entire staff is excellent”

“My four-year-old just spent the last two years at Rainbowland and we are so grateful for all the care and attention she received there. She learned all she needed to be confident and prepared for Kindergarten and made many friends. Additionally, every staff member has been incredibly kind to us as parents: they communicated well about the schedule and what was going on in the classroom, and were extremely helpful anytime we had a concern (which was seldom). Because they are a daycare center as well, they were able to watch our daughter when the 3-k and pre-k public school calendars had holidays, which was VERY helpful. In the last couple weeks before her after-school program started at her new school, they were able to accommodate us and bridge the childcare gap. I cannot say enough good things about them!”

“it brought me way back to my.old time the beautiful time I had with my old time crew, seeing the paranda on television , it was beautiful I'm 76 yrs. old so your know I come from the old days God bless all of your to make this possible merry Xmas ?”

“My husband and I love Kiddie Academy! Our younger son is currently enrolled this year. He has grown so much academically and socially. He is happy to be in school and enjoys being with his teachers Ms. Marilyn and Ms. Sayeda. We look forward to his continued growth!”

“My grand daughter has matured in every aspect while attending OKP HEWLETT ; the staff always professional , attentive and kind.The school is always clean, secure .I feel great comfort with her attendingOKP HEWLETT. I highly recommend the establishment .”

“My son attended for a year and he developed such a great relationship with Ms Pam and Ms Mahmuda during that period. I appreciate that Ms Pam kept me informed of how his day was everyday and was very passionate about seeing him grow. Lots of pictures shared everyday :) The site directors (Ms Aimee and Mira) also both left a long-lasting great impression on my mind and I'm always very grateful for the time my son had here.”

“THE BEST SCHOOL EVER. I CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW GOOD THIS SCHOOL IS. If you’re searching for a good elementary school for your kid/s. This would be the place, this elementary school is so good that if I were give this school higher than 5 stars, I would give them 10. All the staff are so nice and would support your kid through their childhood.”

“They given my son a chance despite the fact he's autistic. The area is clean and they're easy to contact. Best part? They don't kill your pockets. Their weekly prices are affordable 100%.”

“Love, love this school. My daughters went in the past. Everyone is so pleasant, warm and thoughtful I couldn't ask for a better school for my daughter to be in. She loved going to school everyday.”

“This experience has been wonderful! Our daughter attended for three years and our son one. He'd run in without looking back. She was more hesitant, then couldn't stop talking about it. We moved to Port largely for this school and were not disappointed. The references were strong when we were deciding, and perhaps we'll chat if you're considering it. Many parents were educators (we're not), and we developed some close friendships.The name comes from "Project Spectrum," a research program that ran at Harvard under Howard Gardner and Mara Krechevsky. It's unrelated to the autism spectrum. The idea is that there are several types of intelligence (a "spectrum" of knowledge), and they can be cultivated in early childhood. My Spectrum School combines elements of this theory and the Reggio Emilia approach.It excels at translating theory into experiences. That's mostly because teachers care about kids, and kids aren't interested in Gardner. There's a commitment to longer-term themes (e.g., creativity, cognitive skills, STEAM), which informs curriculum. And they have a moment-by-moment approach: Teachers incorporate kids' interests and provide remarkable individual attention and differentiation. Class sizes are small enough to make that work.There's also some structure. Teachers stick to a routine for activities like arrival, lunch, playground, and departure---even if there can be considerable flexibility in between. Kids call adults by titles. Dr. D, Ms. Jennifer, and Mr. Jason became household names.The teachers are amazing, and it's hard to say enough good. Mr. Jason and Ms. Jennifer are bright, engaged, and passionate about the kids. They're also all-around wonderful people. Dr. D brings considerable experience with education theory and practice. Everyone had helpful insight at our conferences. They love talking about the kids. They were willing to reinforce things that we worked on at home, like empathy, imagination, or potty training. They will also tell it like it is: You'll hear something if your kid is in diapers at four or five. It is Long Island, after all.The facilities are large and thoughtfully designed. Mr. Jason teaches Pre-K students in one room. Ms. Jennifer and Dr. D have younger kids in another. There's a fair bit of crossover, where younger kids join the Pre-K students for some activities, parties, and play. Kids without younger siblings play eldest to the little ones, and likewise.We'll have fond memories.”

“This center was a great stepping stone for my daughter in her educational path. She started preschool in the fall and spent a few weeks there over the summer. They had such great events for the kids over the summer, such as bounce house, trips, themed days. When the school year came around her academic growth has shown and she even started reading. They have shows for the kids throughout the year where they're dancing or singing like the Christmas shows and the Black History month show. The teachers there are so interactive with the kids and I love how they communicate with me about everything going on with my daughter.”
