“Enrolling our son at TLE is the absolute BEST decision we could’ve ever made!!! He is in the infant classroom and his teachers take such great care of him! They not only make sure he stays on individualized feeding/napping schedules, but they also are so engaging with him! They participate in music, art and lots of reading. He is so safe and loved at TLE, and we feel so lucky to have found such a great ‘home away from home’ for him.”

“I just wanted to thank you for inviting me to read a story to my grandson’s class. It was such a joy to spend time with the children and see their excitement and curiosity. I truly appreciate the warm welcome and the opportunity to share that experience with them.
Thank you again for making me feel so included!”

“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!”

“Saint pertolemy is one of the churches that you must if ever you have a chance to be in Manhattan, it is a muster. 10. That particular afternoon I did go for piano recital of which was announced earlier in the day at the church but because of online that's how I got that bit of information. Worshiping at St. Marx is wonderful. Actually, I should have attended the 5:00 worship that he had that afternoon, which wonderful!. St. Parts is a fixture in Manhattan as well. It's a historical church. It's an Episcopal Church also to the welcomes everyone”

She loves her friends and teachers and does fun activities everyday including playing in the backyard, doing art projects, and learning about different topics. Laura is a great director as well and communicates regularly with the parents. Looking forward to continuing with 3k next fall.”

“Purple Circle is a time-honored joy to be a part of. I was a daycare student at PC nearly 40 years ago (!) and had such loving memories of it that my little is there now. It is full of warm, attentive, nurturing and delicious teachers and administrators, and it has created a community that will be foundational to your kid's world.”

“My child has been attending the academy for over two years, and our experience has been consistently excellent. The staff are warm, responsive, and genuinely attentive to each family’s individual needs. My son loves coming to school every day and is always happy there. We’re very grateful for the care he receives. Highly recommended!”

“Learning and Fun is an amazing daycare: 1). Loving, attentive, and always positive teachers and assistants; 2). Tons of sunlight in the classrooms, 3). Playground is right outside the classroom doors, 4). We saw an incredible growth educationally and socially. My daughter loves this daycare and is always excited to go there every morning! As a parent, I have peace of mind knowing my child is in good hands.”

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.”

“Switching my 2 daughters to this school 6 months ago was hands down the best decision I’ve ever made for their future. We moved them from another school where promises fell flat and I watched them actually regress. Within 2 weeks here, my both girls started coming home happy and excited. My oldest can’t stop talking about science experiments her whole day! The organic meals are a game-changer (kids serve themselves and clear plates teachers eat with them too). Coming from goldfish crackers this feels like heaven. I’ve never seen an unhappy teacher, everyone looks like they love their job. If you’re looking for a quality, warm, professional place, tour Big Apple. You’ll fall in love on the spot, just like we did!”

“We love ZPlay! My daughter first attended mommy and me classes and now attends camp regularly - she loves the teachers, being outside in the backyard, and it’s great for her Russian language development”

“Our daughter started at 5 months here and we’ve had a really great experience. They have a good ratio of teachers to babies which we appreciate. The teachers seem really present and caring, they send lots of photos of their day and little playground outings. Our baby has progressed into other classrooms at this point but still lights up (and runs to hug them) when she sees her previous teachers. The school director, Carly, has been wonderful and gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She’s also very hands on, I’ve seen her do crafts with the other teachers and one time at a Mother’s Day event one kid’s mom couldn’t make it so she sat down on the floor with that kid on her lap during the music listening part to make sure they didn’t feel left out. She’s also been very flexible with us and just great. So far we like this place a lot.”

“The best school in the queens area hands down amazing staff they go above and beyond with our children and communicate really well with the parents. If you want the best for your kids education bring them here. Thank you very much”

“I am so thankful for the entire staff at Bright Horizons on 46th for the level of care they provide for my baby every day!
As a single mom with an infant, I never feel truly alone in my parenting journey because her teachers have become like an extended family to us, loving her and providing her with fun and stimulating activities every day (sometimes I wish I could be in daycare just to do the activities too ?).
We joined when my daughter was almost 5 months old, and these past several months of attending have felt like a learning and socializing accelerator for her and I couldn't be happier with our experience.
Shout out to Mrs. Evette, Mrs. Caroline, Ms. Anabel, Ms. Ciara, and Ms. Yanina for being so completely wonderful! ?”

“We’ve had a wonderful experience over the past two years at Morningside Playcare. The language immersion has been truly transformational for our daughter and played a meaningful role in preparing her for a full language immersion school next year. The administration has been supportive throughout that transition, which we really appreciate.

The community is warm and welcoming, and the location is hard to beat. We especially love that the kids get outside every day—time in Central Park is such a gift—and the Forest School option is a great offering for families looking for even more outdoor experience.

We’ve been so happy with our time here, and we’re excited for our son to follow in his sister’s footsteps next year.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“We did roaming from our original center to the Columbus Square location and it was great! Super supportive and informative, both of our kids had a blast and kept talking about the new friends they met in "the big city". The guides did their best to make our kids feel like home! In one instance, my son asked to know what time we're going to pick him up and the guide called us so she could give him the most accurate response, this warmed my heart.”

“We’ve had a great experience so far! Staff is great, very clean facility. Our son loves his teachers and classmates. He is really developing in this environment. Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our children received here. Ms. Renee was incredibly warm, patient, and truly invested in my child’s growth. We especially love the consistent updates and photos we receive throughout the day, it gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in such a nurturing environment. It’s clear the staff loves what they do!”

“My children have been going to Imagine Brooklyn Heights for the past 7 years, and my husband and I trust them impeccably. The teachers are wonderful, particularly in the Otters PreK class where my daughter is now, led by Sharlynn, Nate, and Brianni - all wonderful. The instruction is great, the kids engage in a range of wonderful and imaginative programming, and my children have always been very happy. Teacher Stephanie is a particularly a gem, and Claudia who works in the central office and has been administratively excellent. Jennifer is leading the center well, and we're particularly grateful for some of the teachers who have been committed for years, such as Lisa. We're grateful for you, Imagine!”
