Schools near Bedford, NY

“My child has been attending Pied Piper for almost a year. The growth that she’s made in her time there is absolutely mind blowing. She looks forward to going everyday and knows that she is loved and safe while there. I couldn’t imagine sending my child anywhere else.”

“As a parent, I am thrilled to have found Building Blocks. My son loves going every day. So many loving & attentive teachers; so much fun, joy and learning happening there!”

“We have been beyond thrilled with Building Blocks High Ridge. We moved over to this location about 9 months ago now and we have honestly been blown away by the attention and love that is given to our almost 2 year old. The facilities are bright with lots of windows and the gym and playground are incredible. Everything is size and age appropriate. They do a ton of fun projects, read lots of books and truly follow a curriculum. We are lucky enough to have Miss Maryori and Miss Sandy as our son's main teachers. To me there is no more important job in the world than who is watching our children, and these women are kind, smart, and truly care about the well being of these kids. I highly recommend Building Blocks High Ridge.”

“Cadence has been such a blessing for us!! They took us in in October and made this frantic Momma a sane person again! I was shocked and impressed at how quickly all the staff knew Penelope by name. My daughter has shown such a difference since switching schools and has made such great friends. I can't express enough how amazing it feels as a mother not to have to worry every day that she won't get the care, attention and education she deserves.We are very excited for summer and Kindergarten but MOM is very nervous to leave such a wonderful place that has felt like home.xoxoxo”

“My daughter started going to SLS at the beginning of this year, and in matter of a couple of days, she was completely adjusted! She loves being there with the teachers and her friends.. to the point she runs in the minute we enter the facility. SLS is also on top of it when it comes to communicating with parents on everything which helps to stay informed about your child. Overall, we are very happy to have made the switch to SLS.”

“I swim 2x a week, my adult son uses the gym 3x a week, my wife takes workout and yoga classes 3x a week — and my friends play pickleball 2-3 nights a week as well.

The JCC is the center of gravity for our community in so many ways — and we’ve been coming here since my kids were little. Like everyone, our kids learned to swim here, held big kids bday parties here, made friends for life at Sara Walker Nursery School (actually we made more life long friends this way than our kids did!), attended galas celebrating our friends or seeing a comedian now and then.

I recommend giving it a look. You certainly don’t have to be Jewish to come daily, feel like you belong and make it part of your family’s story too. It’s clear that all people are cherished here.”

“I love this daycare. I was worried about finding the right place for both my youngest full time and oldest when needed that was close and affordable. After speaking with Bri over the phone I knew this was the right choice. She did all she could to get us enrolled quickly. Once I met Donna I was even more thankful. The kids are happy and the staff have smiles on their faces when I see them outside before the door opens and when I walk in. You can tell they love their jobs and love the kids. Thank you to all the teachers, Bri and Donna for always putting your best foot forward and loving our children. Thank you Jesus!”

“My son has been attending TLG for about a year now. He started when he was 13 months old and before that, was home with me. He was also an only child at the time so transitioning into a daycare was a big step for both of us. After interviewing many daycares we fell in love with TLG and I have no regrets. The staff is incredibly nurturing. My son has grown to love, trust and become attached to all his teachers. I have peace of mind knowing my child is happy and is in good hands when I drop him off. That’s all you can ask for in a daycare.”

“The Baby Cottage has been a godsend for our infant daughter. She was a mere 4 months old when she started, and as new parents, my husband and I were inherently concerned about her development and quality of life overall. Each day we pick her up at Baby Cottage, she has an illuminating smile. The staff is extremely professional, kind, and very much engaged with each child. Everyday we receive a detailed hand-written report-out on her progress, which I have a great deal of respect for personally. As parents, we also value that Baby Cottage has no TVs, as we've heard stories where daycares simply use television as a device to distract/calm the children vs. actually interacting with them. Not to mention, they supply all diapers, formula, and food for the children. You cannot find a better situation than this. I highly recommend The Baby Cottage to any parent whether your child is an infant or toddler.”

“We have been a Tutor Time family for nearly 8 years, with all three of our sons attending starting as infants. The management team under Andressa has created the best environment I have seen to date. The teachers are great with the kids, the programs engaging and my kids are happy there. I would recommend to anyone considering.”

“My kid just finished the preschool program at Kaleidoscope. This is such a welcoming place for children and parents. My kid was terrified of school before coming here, but on his first day, he got so excited by the murals that he was able to go in. The admins are communicative and very easy to work with as well. My kid had proactive, communicative teachers who fostered such a wonderful learning environment, and my kid and I are sad to leave. It's really amazing to see how they helped transform my shy, reticent toddler into a confident preschooler. Thank you for such a wonderful year!”

“Great school from my experience! My son loved going to school here from the explorer program all the way to pre-K 4. They have lovely enrichment options like field trips, music and gym. They are welcoming and inclusive to all. The lesson plans are always sent to you as a parent ahead of time and they incorporate family projects into their monthly curriculum. I have been thrilled with them and appreciate that the lunch and snack program is inclusive in the tuition. As a hard working parent, I recognize they are not for profit and run by a board inclusive of parents. These are all benefits to the "everyday" working parent and the reasons why I refer them to my friends. Too often, we are quick to write reviews on negative experiences, myself included. I wanted to take the time to note this positive one for future parents considering applying to this school. Schedule a tour and check them out, you can decide for yourself. I cannot say enough good things, even through the uncertain times of the covid pandemic where everyone was learning to navigate a new path, they communicated upfront and valued parental feedback. Their was notable turnover in staff during that time as with all industries but this has since stabilized. I can honestly say they have always made every effort to accommodate the collective needs of the parents. This speaks volumes as to why my children return year after year.”

“I am so happy my grand-daughter is there. They are wonderful, caring, safe and a great atmosphere for children. It's a feeling of security and look forward to my second grand-daughter to be there.”
