“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!”

“My son has been going to Children of America (Smithtown location) since he was about 2-3 years old. Ever since we started there, I knew my child would be in good hands. The staff (especially Mrs Marjorie, Ms Alex, Ms Allison and Mr Nick) has always been so welcoming, caring, and exceptionally kind. We love everyone at this school! There is nothing like having the peace of mind of knowing that your child is being taken care of the way they would be at home. Besides the all-around amazing staff, Children of America also has an outstanding educational program. By the time kindergarten started, I was fully confident that my son would be prepared for school age (he does amazing in school now). He also enjoys all the playtime, arts and crafts, and interacting with the other kids, and there’s a super fun splash pad in the summer that all the kids LOVE! Going to Children of America has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my family. Highly recommend.”

“We have had such a wonderful experience with the 3K program at The Goddard School of Stony Brook. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and attentive, and it truly shows in how happy and comfortable my son is every day. He has grown so much socially, emotionally, and academically since starting here.

I was nervous sending my son to a program for the first time but the school made the transition easy and worry free not only for my son but for my husband and I as well.

The communication from staff is consistent and reassuring, and I always feel like my child is in a safe, nurturing environment. It’s clear the team genuinely loves what they do, and that makes all the difference. We’re so grateful to be part of this school community.”

“We are so happy with the safe and nurturing environment that TLE has provided our family. We love the attention our child receives, allowing for academic learning and time for play. The daily communication between the staff and the parents is always at the top of the list. The teachers and administration are wonderful and dedicated, I highly recommend TLE in Northport!”

“Our family LOVES Tutor Time in Oakdale! The staff is amazing- Everyone is warm, welcoming, and caring. Our 2.5-year-old has been going there since he was 4 months old and is always excited to head off to school in the morning. He has learned so much since starting at Tutor Time and they are now helping us on our potty-training journey! We also started our infant there in the fall and felt super comfortable with that transition. The app is great, and it allows you to check in and see what your children are up to which is so important. It can be really hard sending your kids to daycare full time, but I hardly ever feel like I am missing out because I get so many updates throughout the day and see how much they love it. I appreciate all of the updates we receive. We highly recommend this location!!”

“Esen is very warm and welcoming. She made the transition so much easier and clearly cares about the babies. It’s reassuring as a parent. When my son sees her he lights up.”

“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!”

“KinderCare at Huntington is a great facility! The teachers send photos and updates throughout the day which is so impressive because in addition to caring for so many babies, they’re making sure the parents stay updated on their children’s days. I cannot say enough amazing things about Miss Angela, Miss Kim, and Miss Jackie. They go above and beyond to make sure my son is taken care of, happy, and meeting his milestones. He absolutely beams when he sees them in the morning which makes leaving him a little bit easier.”

“This is my Daughter’s last year at Kiddie academy of Nesconset and I cannot say enough good things about our experience here. She started when she was two years old. She has learned so much. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The facility is extremely clean. My daughter always says that she loves going to school. She has built confidence from coming here, has learned so much (very prepared to go off to Kindergarten), made so many new friends. All of the teachers and staff are amazing. Jeanie really knows how to run the place well.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The entire administrative staff is on point. They are responsive and proactive. Additionally, Ms. Shanna is a sheer professional educator. She knows what the kids need and delivers it in a caring and nurturing way. My daughter loves being at KA.”

“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.”

“I highly recommend this daycare! They truly care about your child's well-being. The environment is safe, clean, and very welcoming and friendly. They offer so many amazing events and the teachers/administration are wonderful !”

“My daughter has been going here since she was an infant and Zach and Tom have been an amazing addition to the staff!! It's comforting to know they truly care about creating a bond with your child and recognizing their needs. Very thankful for Miss Sue, Miss Jill, Miss Donna, Miss Hannah and Miss Lindsey for all the care and effort they have put into teaching and looking after my daughter, it makes a difference when you know they truly care about the kids and it is not just a job to them. ?”

“Such an amazing place! My daughter has been so happy here. The teachers treat my daughter as if she was there own and she cannot wait to go back every day. She has learned so much, and they were so helpful with the transition process. Very interactive including several field trips, guest speakers, events and more! I cannot recommend this place enough. Over the summer my daughter has not stopped talking about going back to school and every time we pass the building she asks to go to school.”

“School staff is so attentive and my son is excited to come in everyday. Early drop off and late pick up available if needed. For reference my son just finished the year in the infant room and started around 7 months old. He is having fun learning lots of new things and making friends.”
