Schools near Hartsdale, NY

“My siblings and I all attended Sacred Heart starting in the late 70's. There are 5 of us and all turned out relatively successful (software engineer, doctor, teacher, business owner, executive). I credit Sacred Heart with providing us with the stepping stones that encouraged and prepared us for our life journey after the 8th grade.I made the choice to continue the legacy and send my son to Sacred Heart as well. It remains an excellent school which fosters a close-knit community. So far, the teachers and staff have been fantastic. You really start to understand the quality of education at Sacred Heart when you interact with parents and students from other schools. Alongside the educational element, the school does an outstanding job of teaching discipline, moral values, and social skills. It's heartening to see these shine through as my son grows and develops at Sacred Heart. I am not convinced that the excitement and joy he exudes each and every day towards learning would come out by attending any other school.”

“I love that this is a house, the class rooms feel like living rooms. They have many playgrounds outside and the kids go out two or three times a day, weather depending. In the summer they play with water outside. My child loves it, our second one will go there, too. It was recommended by my neighbors who bring their second one there. One complaint is that they use disposable plastic ware for food and drinks. Sadly this is normal in this country and is usually difficult to fix due to lack of space, this is why I am understanding for their situation and do not subtract a star ;)”

“My daughter started this school last year and I have nothing but great things to say. They are caring, responsible, and just such amazing people. Miss Christa’s class is just the best She is the kind of teacher that you want for your kids, Someone that you can see and feel That really cares for the children and you can see it through their growth. My daughter has learned so much. She is just three years old and Sometimes I’m amazed myself with the things that she learns at school. She loves to school so much that some weekends she begs to go back to school. They have a schedule calendar every month with activities and fun things to do. They keep you updated throughout the day about what your child is doing, which is great and it gives you a really good peace of mind. overall just a nice place for the kids to be the area is really quiet and safe. The playground is very spacious which I think it’s a great thing so the kids can run around safely. Would 100% recommend this school.”

“I’ve been a teacher at TLE for just over a year. The directors are amazing and offer plenty of support to their staff. I was given the opportunity to complete my CDA as one of the perks offered to employees, which has enabled me to advance my career as a toddler teacher. The bond that I have made with my coworkers is amazing. We all work together to help and support each other. It truly feels like we’re a family. Overall, my experience working here has been fantastic!”

“We made a switch from a nearby daycare in white plains to Kiddie Academy a few months ago.
It was the right decision, we love it here so much. The teachers Imani and Leah are all like a family and their consistency and long term presence makes it a great place.”

“I couldn't have asked for a better pre-school for my daughter. She graduated with a conversational level in a second language, and I have no doubt that years later this experience has helped her thrive as a top honors student.

Prospect Academy is a place that nurtures creativity, community, personal and academic growth, responsibility, and a love of the arts. The added bonus of spending multiple hours outdoors each day was also a significant plus.”

“My family has been enrolled in CCLC Purchase since January 2022 and I have to say that it's a very special place with wonderful teachers who have treated my two children as their own. I couldn't imagine them being anywhere else, they have both thrived there. The peace of mind that I've felt over the past 4 years every day after drop off, knowing they are safe and cared for. Highly recommend.”

“I love this school for my daughter. It was hard finding a preschool that took my daughter at her age. But i am so happy i chose this school. They are so professional and my daughter truly enjoys it.”

“Wonderful staff and program! We attended only one year of their summer camp but it was truly wonderful. The staff is warm and welcoming. They made sure got plenty of outside time and set up a really fun and memorable time for the kids. The building is set up like a little school so its really wonderful for kids to get an idea of what it will be like once they move on to kindergarten. The preschool years are so special so you want to make sure your kids go to a place where they are understood and work with where they are while being encouraged to grow. This is one of those places. The staff was beyond understanding when I had an emergency and realized I would not be able to pick up my kid on time. It was such a blessing to have her in a safe place while I handled it. The after-school programming is a wonderful extra touch as well.”

“Red Owl, where my 4-year-old attends, is truly exceptional. The dedicated teachers and staff create an enriching environment that fosters both learning and genuine care. Their commitment to nurturing young minds goes beyond the ordinary, making it a place where my child not only learns but also flourishes. I am consistently impressed by the creativity, patience, and passion exhibited by the team at Red Owl, making it a truly remarkable center for early childhood education.”

“This is my favorite place in the whole world! I went to camp and school here and my mother worked in the nurses office and my brother was a camp counselor. The drama department is outstanding and I dream about the food to this day. I hope to return again someday and bring my kiddo to the fun!”

“Our daughter has been with Lightbridge Academy Elmsford since she was just 2 years old (she recently graduated) and our experience over the years has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the entire team has been incredibly attentive, nurturing, and professional. We’ve always felt confident that our daughter was in the best hands. They’ve played a big part in shaping her early years and for that we’ll always be grateful. If you’re looking for a daycare where your child will be well cared for, supported, and truly loved, Lightbridge Academy Elmsford is the place.”

“I've had two kids attend this school and I don't believe I could have found a better place, locally or regionally. The teachers and staff have been, and are still viewed as a second family by my children and the care and education they're received is unparalleled. My wife and I cannot thank everyone working at Yearling enough for everything they've done for us!! We're truly grateful for you dedication, professionalism and the unconditional love our children received each and every day.”

“This review is for the aquatic program at JCC. We could not find a better place for our swimming enthusiast 4 year old! Brandon, his coach, does a fabulous job! It’s been a while since I have seen someone so interested in his job! He’s so patient with little kids, always meets him with a big smile that doesn’t fade. My kid loves the water but I can see those kids who are a little nervous are also making progress. The pools is nice and big. Tuition is reasonable.”

“We started our son at Children’s Corner on Westchester Ave when he was 6 months old. After considering several child care options, we quickly felt we made the correct choice with how great the infant teachers were. Miss Anastasia and Nancy remained his favorite teachers even as he progressed out of the infant room. Aliya'h and Cookie run the center and are great with communication. We had to relocate our son to a different center due to a move, but we kept him enrolled at a different Children’s Corner location due to the positive experience at Westchester Ave. As good of a total value as you’ll find in the area.”

“My two sons attended daycare here for two years, even through the height of the pandemic. They stayed open and followed all the safety protocols, which was such a comfort in a hectic time. Ms. Hope was always so loving and caring with our two boys. They were always happy to come and happy at pick-up time.”

“Highly recommend! Teachers and staff are amazing - we love getting to chat with them at beginning and end of the day. Our child loves going to school and is safe, having fun, socializing with other kids and is beyond well taken care of - we've been going since 5 months old! The daily activities and curriculum are incredible. The app is wonderful to be updated on what's happening each day. We are so happy with the choice we made to go to Bright Horizons at Westchester Executive Park!”

“The staff is so warm and welcoming. They truly love all of the children in their care and make it a priority to get to know each family. The directors Ms.Chika and Ms.Perla have gone above and beyond to make TLE Dobbs Ferry a truly special place. I couldn't be happier with TLE Dobbs Ferry! ❤️”

“Our son is the second child that has attended The Little Red because we were so impressed with Anna a few years ago when our daughter was there. His verbal, behavioral and social skills have advanced incredibly since September. He is always talking about his friends, Mrs. M/Ms. Noelle and all of the things he has done that day. Anna has a different weekly theme which includes stories, arts and crafts, sensory bin, etc. The children not only work on their communication and behavioral skills, but also gross and fine motor skills as well. The class size is small with 6 children per 2 adults which allows the children to connect with each other and enhance their learning. Anna is also wonderful with potty training and will give advice on any issues/concerns you may have with your childs learning/behavior. We are sad that the school year is coming to an end because it means that our family’s time is up with Anna. I would not hesitate recommending TLR to anyone as it is a caring and enriching environment for your child.”

“We love the teachers here. Owners and admins are nice and responsive.The school offers a great curriculum and has a variety of extra-curriculum opportunities. School hours are also very parent friendly.”

“Pooh & Friends is a great day care. I honestly enjoyed having my son Jonah there. He loved the staff and his friends. Ms. Barbara is an amazing person and so is her kind staff. Both my wife and I are truly grateful to them.”

“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.”

“I feel in love with the entire building my child has been attending for 2 years and even until this day I have a hard time taking her home because she doesn't want to leave. the love and affection that she receives from her previous teachers until now with her current teacher it's just amazing, I love how Ms Natalie it's so caring and lovely with all the kids and you can see it when your kids don't want to leave the classroom that all they are receiving is genuine love and affection.”

“It is a great place for families to grow generationally. The best senior citizen service, child care service, and fitness classes the Industy has to offer and all in 1 place.”

“In 2015, Discovering Me welcomed our family, and now after 8 years and 3 children in the program we must sadly say our goodbyes. We feel so grateful to have found this program!Discovering Me provides a child friendly learning environment, with many opportunities for kids to be independent. All three of my children mastered many self help skills needed for everyday tasks, that made my life a whole lot easier. The program maintains positive adult-child relationships, and encourages family engagement. Carol and Laurie prepare monthly newsletters to inform families of the happenings and add friendly reminders. The program follows daily routines, and schedules that helped my children feel safe and secure in knowing what to expect when they arrived at school each day. We always looked at the monthly calendar sent home to see what the themes were each week. My kids loved looking for books or toys related to the theme and on occasion I was convinced to buy clothes to match the theme. My daughter now has a very stylish dinosaur dress.All three of my children were lucky to have Mrs. Christine, and assistant Ms. Dee. She has a great reputation in the community, and she is a passionate teacher that provides a warm and comforting environment. All of my kids LOVED going to school and talk about Mrs. Christine as if she is part of our family.I firmly believe that building an early positive association with learning is essential to our kids' growth. All of my children found a solid beginning at Discovering Me. The graduation ceremony is magnificent. They really do a great job!”

“I would recommend The Goddard School of Hastings on Hudson because of its experienced staff, comprehensive educational programs, and nurturing environment for children.”

“Ms. Dina & the staff are incredible to work with. You can feel the school slathered with love and respect. They really meet the child where they are at and find the perfect balance for each child they are given.My son struggled at his last PreK. This school has made a WORLD of difference in our home and our son’s ability to regulate and learn with love and care. Highest respect!”

“We love this place. It has a great location with a extremely spacious playground and the feeling you are in the countryside. Svitlana is a great educator and the kids absolutely love her. I definitely recommend it.”

“As a mother, we always try to choose the best for our children, and this nursery is among the clean and equipped nurseries, although I changed my residence and became far away, but I did not find something like it, and I will leave my son to complete it. I thank them for all their efforts and for their contribution to building the next generation.”

“What could I ever say about this school ??amazing school, amazing principal, amazing staff, amazing teachers. They are helpful. Your child in this school in a safe hands.”
