“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.”

“We absolutely love our daycare! The teachers are wonderful, the leadership team is attentive and responsible, and the building is always clean and welcoming. We especially appreciate the fun family events, which create such a warm and friendly atmosphere.”

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! My son has been at Tiny Tykes since April and he has grown leaps and bounds. When he arrives, he is so excited to see his classmates and happily runs into the classroom. Everyday they do fun activities and lots of arts and crafts. The school has many themed activities for the month and the curriculum is great. My son’s teachers are kind and hands on and I never have any worries that he is in good hands. Miss Chrissy and Miss Jeanne run an amazing school and we look forward to sending our other son there when he is old enough. Tiny Tykes is a wonderful place!!”

“I completed my Permanent Makeup training here a year ago, and now I’m proud to say I’m opening my first beauty suite! I recently came back for a refresher with Jina, and I’m so glad I did. She is truly the best—so knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. She has played a huge role in my journey, and I will always be grateful for everything she’s done to help me grow as an artist. Highly recommend this school and especially Jina!”

“Absolutely the best date night idea ever! We had so much fun and also felt so safe and comfortable with the instructors. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely be back!”

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’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.”

“We have been at Sunshine Lexington for a year and a half so far. My daughter started at 5.5 months old, so we began in the youngest babies classroom. We absolutely love it there, and so does our daughter. The teachers are wonderful, evidenced by the almost zero turnover I’ve seen since we started.

The Tadpoles app is a great way to communicate, and you know what they’re eating/drinking, when they have diaper changes or use the toilet, when they nap and for how long, and receive photos and videos throughout the day. In addition to the daily Tadpoles updates, there is also the opportunity to sign up for phone calls with the teachers, email teachers directly, and there is a monthly meeting over zoom (recorded and sent with presentation deck after as well) to keep you updated on everything happening.

They also make it easy to connect with fellow parents by sharing parent contact info, having designated WhatsApp threads for each classroom, and hosting social events (including adults-only events).

I have also been impressed with the curriculum and amazing programs. This year, my daughter had music class, Spanish class, soccer lessons, and yoga lessons! She absolutely loves doing her yoga moves at home and telling me the Spanish words she knows!

What I find most helpful though is the guidance and support on when and how to hit certain milestones, including support on starting solid foods, when to switch from bottle to sippy cup, when to switch from sippy cup to open cup, etc. Right now, my daughter is in the beginning stages of potty training, and her excitement for the process started because of the encouragement happening at school.

We’re so glad we chose Sunshine Lexington!”

“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. My son MUHAMMAD ALI gladly goes to you every morning if he doesn’t wake up in the morning and I tell him let’s go madam Ms.Lova(Julia) is waiting for us, I say and he wakes up immediately, I am very grateful to you, we love you and appreciate your work, you are very kind, the best, sweet, positive teacher and the best teacher???☺️”

“My family has been with Kiddie Academy of Flushing since 2021, when my son was enrolled in the twos program all the way till Pre-K, the same will happen with my daughter as well. Ms. Ria and her team makes everyone feel welcome, they are always smiling when you enter through the doors and they contact you right away if anything happens with pictures and it brings a huge sense of relief knowing that your children is always safe there. They have a great system running and I could tell they genuinely care about all the students. The teachers we’ve had were all amazing, caring, and passionate about what they do. My son loved his teachers and my daughter loves her 3K teacher so much she often calls me her name and tells me she always has the best time there. The added bonus was the parking lot for easy drop off and pick up which is hard to find in flushing and a private playground where your child doesn’t have to travel for outdoor play and bathrooms inside the classroom. You want the best for your children and their early education and I truly believe Kiddie Academy of Flushing is a fantastic choice to consider!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about MSH. The teachers and entire team are attentive, great communicators and excellent with our kids. I would highly recommend them to any family!”

“Amazing experience getting my new Cadillac from Eddie Carter. He made the whole process fast, easy and seamless. 5 stars all around for the entire Trinity Cadillac team!! Thank you!!”

“The Community House is a true treasure in Forest Hills. All three of my kids went to school and after-school here, and it’s been an incredible part of our lives. They learned to swim here, made lifelong friends, and grew in confidence. The staff is amazing — they truly care about the kids and the community. This is so much more than a facility; it’s a place that brings families together and helps children.”

“Thank you staff of Moving Up Children Center. It has been an amazing school.You have made a difference in the lives of the children. Big shout out to Mr. Ange, Ms. Luna, Ms Lourdes, Ms Aylin, Ms. Dora, Ms Erika, Ms Keisha, Ms Royi, Ms. Nicole, Ms. Alexa, Ms. Kim, Ms. Churing, Ms. Jeanne, Ms. Pamela and Ms. Maria. You have touched the lives of so many children. Your impact on the students of Moving Up will last a life time. That's what a prestigious school is all about.”

“The staff here is so attentive and caring. My kids have been attending here for two years and they love it ! If there ever is a problem, they address is it immediately. I would definitely recommend everyone to bring their kids here. Will not find a better and suitable place.”

“Best place for you children! Amazing teachers, great curriculum and activities, cleaned and safe place, warm and healthy meals prepared at their kitchen and very positive and supportive staff overall. Had my son for one year at Kiddie (at Ms. Dyamond and Ms. Ari class, who are amazing teachers) and saw him happy and thriving every day. I was not recommended by anyone for this place, was just looking for daycare for my son and went for a tour at Kiddie and liked it since the first time I saw the facility and staff there. Would have been continued sending my son again at Kiddie Academy of Floral Park if we didn't move from Queens. 100% recommend.”

“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.”

“A local learning center that is dedicated and puts in the time to work diligently with students. They help identify academic weaknesses and take time to instruct based on the pace of the student. My cousin helped out over the summer with SAT instruction and the one-on-one guidance was superb! Focusing on the needs of YOU - the student.”

“This school is truly the best! Both of my children have attended—my 9-year-old daughter started here at age 2, and now my 3-year-old son is thriving as well. The school is always spotless, and the teachers are phenomenal. Ms. Wendy and Ms. Yesenia were so patient and made my husband and me feel completely confident leaving our son in their care. Ms. Veronica (both), Ms. Maria, and Ms. Mariah are also wonderful! We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend this school.”

“From the very first day, Rainbowland Daycare has felt like a second home for our family. My daughter is in the 2’s class, and Ms. Rosie and Ms. Crystal are simply amazing. They are great at teaching, endlessly patient, and truly nurturing — you can feel how much they care about each child’s growth and happiness.

They’ve helped my daughter through so many important milestones, like potty training, and they reinforce at school the values and lessons we teach at home. That partnership has made such a positive difference in her development.

Ms. Jun and Ms. Ainhoa also help in the class, and their patience and kindness create such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. My daughter absolutely adores them.

The office staff — Ms. Kathy and Ms. Laurie — are wonderful. They respond to questions quickly, are incredibly accommodating, and always greet you with a smile.

One of the things I value most is that Rainbowland’s teachers and staff are so dedicated and have been there for many years. That consistency and commitment really show in the way they care for the children. We feel so fortunate to be part of this amazing community!”

“The team at Kiddie Academy, led by the exceptional Gloria and Ms. Juana, truly stands out. Every teacher here is deeply committed to the well-being and education of their students, and this commitment is evident in their interactions with them. Moreover, they are highly attuned to our child’s food allergies and always take extra precautions to ensure that any allergens are double-checked. We wholeheartedly trust the wonderful teachers and staff at Kiddie Academy!”

“This gym is my go-to spot in the neighborhood, and I couldn't be happier with it. The variety of group fitness classes available is fantastic, and the friendly, neighborly atmosphere really adds to the overall experience. The pool is a big plus for me, and the added amenities like the sauna and steam room make it even better. I wouldn't trade this gym for anything else.”

“Choosing a preschool for our little one was a daunting task. As parents, trust is paramount, and finding a place where we felt truly comfortable entrusting our child's early education was challenging. However, our worries dissolved the moment we stepped into Our Kids Place.

From the warm welcoming staff to the engaging curriculum, this place exceeded all our expectations.

The staff here radiates genuine care and passion for what they do, making it easy to trust them with our daughter. Each day, my daughter eagerly looks forward to going to school, a testament to the nurturing environment provided by the dedicated teachers and staff.

The curriculum at OKP is not only educational but also tailored to the individual needs and interests of each child. It's amazing to see my daughter's excitement as she learns through play, exploration, and hands-on activities.

Beyond academics, the emphasis on social-emotional development is truly commendable. My daughter has blossomed here, building friendships, gaining confidence, and developing important life skills that will serve her well now and will utilize in the years to come.

In summary, OKP is not just a place where children learn; it's a community where they thrive. We couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll our daughter here, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking a nurturing, enriching, and trustworthy preschool experience!”

“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 :)”

“I received a superb medical education at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I practiced medicine for 50 years that included 2 years practicing adult medicine in the United States Public Health Service and 3 years as a resident in Ophthalmology. During those 5 years I had a regular weekly stint working as an Emergency Room physician at a very busy hospital. I retired from my private solo Ophthalmology practice after 44 years. The fabulous education I received at Einstein enabled me to function at the highest level in every medical situation I encountered with the knowledge and experience that was required.”

“Our experience at Bright Horizons has been exceptional. The dedication and support from the staff, especially from Cherese, the school director, have made a significant positive impact on my son, Saint. The school’s environment is nurturing and inclusive, fostering both academic and personal growth. We are truly grateful for the valuable advice and continuous support provided throughout the school year. I highly recommend Bright Horizons to any parent seeking a caring and effective educational setting for their child.”

“There are no words that can express how grateful I am to The Pickwick School. During the two years my son was at school it was a super beautiful experience for both of us. Thanks to the teachers and the staff for making a memorable story for my child and I. I do definitely recommend the schools. The staff and teacher take care the kids like one of they own .Thank you to the teachers and staff for the care of my son and directing him towards a better educational future. ??”

“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.”

“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!”
