Schools near Farmingdale, NY

“We've been sending our son to the summer camp here for two years and he absolutely loves it. The counselors use bright wheel to send pictures and communicate which has been amazing. All the counselors and admin are super nice, no complaints about anyone. Our boy will be going to preschool and we can't wait!”

“My son has been enrolled at Kiddie Academy for almost a full year now, starting when he was 6 months old. As a new mom I was very anxious to be placing him in daycare while I went back to work, however the staff at KA Farmingdale made the transition seamless. The teachers are wonderful and truly care for the children they look after. We receive multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, and the teachers are happy to discuss how my son is doing whenever we call or pick him up. Most importantly my son is excited to be dropped off in the morning and adores the teachers that have cared for him over the past year. When we walk down the hallways every staff member knows his name and says hello to him, making the daycare feel like a warm, inviting environment. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for childcare!”

“Almost 2 years ago we were looking for a school for our daughter to attend. We have a nanny so we did not need a day care. We looked into 3 places, South Shore being one of them. South Shore had a warm and friendly vibe. They have actual little classrooms! Other places we visited had more of a day care vibe. Something we did not want. The teachers, assistants and office staff were kind, helpful and patient with me. I was a nervous wreck sending my only child at almost 2 years old to a place away from home but my husband and I knew she was ready to be in a school setting to learn more and to be in social situations. We could not be happier with the teachers and staff at South Shore! As a teacher myself, I am beyond impressed with the many different academic activites the teachers do with the children. Their curriculum truly covers everything. Our daughter is more than prepared for UPK (which she is attending at South Shore) and has made many friendships. She even attends camp there and LOVES it!”

“As a first-time mom, choosing a daycare was incredibly emotional, but this place has made it such a positive experience. My son has been there for a year, his first time ever in daycare, so his transition was a bit rocky for a while. but the staff made us both feel comfortable from day one. They’ve created a warm, caring environment where he’s truly thriving, and their communication always gives me peace of mind. I’m so grateful for their support and couldn’t imagine going through this first year without them. I highly recommend them to any parent!”

“Teachers are great and there's not enough praise to put into writing to say how amazing the teachers are. The care and attention they give to the kids is priceless. The teachers focus on growth and development is unmatched. The faculty all give there 110% to the children leaving parents worry free.”

“We love the TLE!! My granddaughter loves coming to the school everyday! The teachers are amazing and warm when I come to pick her up! I highly recommend the TLE!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Tutor Time! Having two children enrolled here; gives us so much peace of mind every single day. The staff is caring, attentive, and truly treats the kids like family.

Errin and Kaitlyn are absolutely amazing, compassionate, and always willing to go above and beyond for both the children and parents. You can tell how much they genuinely care about creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for everyone.

Our kids have grown so much socially and academically since attending, and they are always excited to go to school each morning. We are beyond grateful to have found such an incredible school and highly recommend it to any family looking for quality childcare!”

“Teachers are fantastic, very attentive and kind. The facility is bright, cheerful, and very clean. We’ve tried a few daycares and this one has been the best by far.”

“She may be strict but trust me You need her to pass your Exam! I genuinely believe her commitment to our learning played a big part in our success. I really appreciate her teaching style especially the way she answer our questions so clearly and specifically. Thank you for everything Ms. Therese ❤️”

“The Goddard School of North Bellmore is an incredible school for early childhood centered around development, community, and excellence. The teachers and administrators are all incredibly invested in the children and it shows through each interaction they have with the students and parents. Our children's days are filled with learning, arts & crafts, music, imaginative play & outdoor time. The facilities are top notch and the school is very clean at all times. We have been very pleased with our experience at the school so far and our children are always happy to see their teachers and friends.”

“We could not have asked for a better experience in the toddler room with Ms. Joanna at TLC in East Northport. As a nervous parent dropping my son off while I went to work, all of the staff at TLC who I spoke to made me feel welcome and reassured that my son was in good hands. The director and assistant director were both as so responsive and addressed my every concern (even the crazy ones) with no judgement! The staff at the front desk is always so friendly and learned my son's name immediately, always saying hello and goodbye to him. Even when I drop him off the other teachers smiled and greeted him by name. TLC in East Northport truly felt like a second home for us while he was there due to the incredible staff.

Every morning my son would run in excited to see Ms. Joanna. He was always asking for her, which goes to show how he connected with her immediately! Not only did he learn so much academically, but his social growth was incredible to watch also. Seeing him hug all of his friends and teachers goodbye at the end of the day showed us just how comfortable, happy, and connected he felt in the classroom.

Ms. Joanna always went above and beyond to make every day fun and engaging. Whether it was special holiday activities (the valentines day party was so much fun) or everyday classroom experiences, she put so much thought, creativity, and care into everything my son did in her classroom. You can truly tell she loves what she does, and that positive energy carried within the entire classroom. When dropping off and picking up it was clear that the environment she creates is full of happiness, kindness, and just good vibes in general.

TLC in East Northport also put on many fun events for families and grandparents around different holidays, which I truly appreciated! The center was clean, my son ate so many new foods, and had amazing days!

We are so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication Ms. Joanna and all of the staff showed our son (and family) while he was at TLE in East Northport. She made such a positive impact on his growth and early learning experience, and we will always appreciate it. When we need for our son to be back in daycare, we will absolutely be going back to TLC in East Northport!”

“The Children who come through this daycare center truly become family. They even build family like bonds with the staff. 20 plus years later and when we see each other it’s like seeing a relative. Highly recommend this daycare center! The staff go above and beyond caring for the children. The children also are fed nutritious meals fully cooked in the kitchen, 3 times a day!”

“My son has been going to TLC for 2+ years and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for child care. They treat us like family and accommodate all of our needs. Everyone on staff is kind and caring, and I feel 100% at ease knowing he is in their care all day! Lots of learning, along with fun on a daily basis!”

“We had an amazing summer at Red Robin’s camp. There were so many fun activities for the kids - crafts, nature, sports, swimming, etc - as well as special theme days. It’s clear that the directors and every staff member cares about the campers and have a vested interest in their happiness. There are small groups and consistent counselors thought the summer so they really get to know the kids (unlike other camps where counselors can change multiple times in a summer). My child can’t wait to go back next summer when he will be old enough to start going on some of the day trips. My only regret is not finding Red Robin prior to this summer.”

“This is our sons 2nd home! Being new to the area we were worried about my son adjusting but Ms Joanne and Ms Johnna have been an absolute delight. The space is cozy yet vibrant, they keep him engaged all day and he comes home happy and with tons of arts and crafts he prepared throughout the day. We're so happy we found them and that they are so caring to our son.”

“We’ve had a great experience with this daycare and truly appreciate the care they provide. Ms. Alicia and Ms. Chadia are both amazing teachers who go above and beyond for the kids. They are patient, attentive, and genuinely care about each child’s growth and well-being.

My son feels comfortable and happy every day, which says a lot. Communication has been great, and it’s clear the staff creates a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I’m grateful knowing my child is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My daughter has attended Wind ‘n Willow since she was 18 months old, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. Linda is truly the best—flexible, understanding, and always willing to work with the unique needs of both children and their families.

The entire staff cares for the children as if they were their own. As a parent, that level of love, attention, and dedication is priceless. The safety and security measures always gave me complete peace of mind, knowing my daughter was in the best hands every day.

The academic foundation she received at Wind ‘n Willow has been incredible. The confidence she gained through their nurturing environment has prepared her so well for UPK and beyond.

I recently welcomed my son, and I already can't wait until he's old enough to attend. Choosing Wind ‘n Willow was one of the best decisions we've made for our family, and I will forever be grateful for the love, support, confidence, and educational advantages they have given my daughter. Highly recommend!”

“I usually never write reviews but this place definitely deserves all the praises they can get. My two girls went there since 17 months and trust me it was the best decision ever. Both Ms Luv and Ms Singh go over and beyond for the child and the atmosphere is just so homely. We definitely recommend this to every for there children. They learn so much and feel at home at the same time.”

“Over the past four years, we’ve had a really positive experience with KA Greenlawn.

The teachers here make it a really special environment. Each morning, my little ones are greeted by Ms. Lily who is the heart of this place. She was my daughter’s classroom teacher several years ago and is now an assistant director. She is so caring, fun and genuinely loves each child as if they are her own.

Our littles have been so lucky to have been cared for by so many others, including Ms. Madison. Ms. Mariah, Ms Jessica, Ms. Melissa, Ms. Claudia…they are all incredible.

My only negative feedback is that at times, I think ownership has failed to invest where they should—like their people and some of the facilities (mainly, the playground area). We pay a lot to send our children here so this isn’t a matter of limited financial resources. I know business owners want to make money, but that should never come at the expense of paying your people fairly.”

“We’ve had a great experience at Tutor Time of East Northport with both our children. Our oldest child has been there for two years and our youngest just started a couple months ago. Ms. Brenda and Ms. Amelia are incredible educators who’ve had a major impact on our son’s development. Their activities and lesson plans are thorough, diverse and fun. Ms. Beth has taken amazing care of our baby girl. Her warmth and experience make us feel extremely comfortable. We know our kids are in great hands with the entire staff (so many to name!) and the administration has done a great job creating consistency and a welcoming environment.”

“I’ve had my first 2 children attend Kiddie Junction. They are a great and kind staff that truly care about the children. I will be enrolling my third child when she is old enough.”

“My son started last September in the duckling class. In a few short weeks, his vocabulary grew. The teachers and staff are so kind and welcoming. They have great communication. He is currently doing the summer camp this summer and will be there again in the fall.”

“Pride and joy has been an incredible experience for my daughter. The staff is welcoming, informative, easy to contact and friendly. My child grew so much at her time at pride and joy. 10/10 recommend.”

“Jacqueline and her team were amazing. The facility is very clean and exceptionally welcoming. They were more than accomodating for our little one and would recommend this daycare to anyone looking to enroll their child in a daycare and is considering this one particularly.”

“I am so grateful for this daycare! The infant room staff in every one of the infant rooms are incredibly gentle, attentive, and loving. My son is always cared for, comforted, and engaged throughout the day. The space is clean, safe, and truly nurturing. I couldn’t be happier with the care at Tutor Time for my son and feel safe dropping him off each day.”

“I love coming here for gifts but most of all I love shopping for my kids too! The staff is so pleasant and know you by name. It gives that. Small village vibe --and I love it!! Also great brands. Great quality!”

“My daughter has been at Humpty Dumpty the last 2 years. She started in their 3s program and has moved to their UPK class. We love this school and all the teachers.
She looks forward to going every day and has grown so much. No doubt in my mind she will be prepared for Kindergarten.”

“This place is a gem. The teachers are warm, sweet and organized. They redirect rather than punish and have a great understanding of childhood development. The owners are professional, friendly and go out of their way to make sure our questions are answered. They communicate quickly. I love the app they use that keeps me informed about what my child did, what they ate, when they used the bathroom, napped, etc. The classrooms are a good size. The backyard has a small playground perfect for young kids and they bring in extra curricular teachers like for music, sports, etc. But the best indicator to me is that my 3 year old LOVES going there and actually cries when she CAN’T go. As a parent, that is the best feeling”

“By far the best daycare! My daughter has been here since she was 11months. Now is in the 2s class and I couldn’t be happier. They are so creative and she is always learning new things. She lovessss going to school and I know the teachers care deeply for her.”
