“My daughter has been attending TLE White Plains since she was 5 months, she is now 2 years old and she has learned so much along the way. I love the everyday activities that TLE does for our little ones, specially during the summer! They do water play and my daughter just loves it. She has grown so much over the years, she has even learned the ABCs, and all the songs they sing at school, she also learned how to count from 1-10 in english and spanish. I cant wait to see what more she will learn from them. ❤️ The teacher are just so loving and caring, once you come in everyone greets you and your little one, its just the sweetest. Thank you TLE for what you do and for taking care of my little one while I work❤️”

“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.”

“We have had nothing but an excellent experience with the teachers and owners at Little Scholars. They are easy to communicate with, flexible and understanding of the needs of working parents. The teachers work hard to create a fun, safe and enriching learning environment for children. I would not hesitate to recommend Little Scholars!”

“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.”

“Our daughter started attending Imagymnasium when we first moved to Harrison and she couldn’t speak any English. She began at age two and a half and attended until graduation.

She absolutely loved Imagymnasium. Almost every day, she would ask, “Do I have school today?” and was always excited to go. The teachers were incredibly kind, caring, and supportive, and she was fortunate to make wonderful friends there as well.

Over the years, we watched her grow in so many ways. She is now able to communicate in English and often comes home proudly showing us the math and other skills she has learned at school.

We truly feel lucky to have found Imagymnasium. It has been such a positive and meaningful experience for our family, and we are so grateful to the teachers and staff for everything they have done for our daughter.

Thank you, Imagymnasium!”

“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 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.”

“Little Friends, is everything a parents dreams and hopes for in a school for littles. From the second you walk in the incredibly loving and professional front desk fairies [ yes they are fairies to me] work their magic remembering every child and parents name [ like, how? LOL] They make all that walk through the door feel warm and fizzes. Chelsea and Sandra, make sure all notes get to teachers and if your a working momma even assist with getting your kids out or in the car so you make it to work on time- 10 stars just for that! Miss Verna, is incredibly hands on and talented in her own right, she is truly a marvel how she cultivated this amazing place for kids, and parents to enjoy. She has safety, professionalism, clean, fun and wonderful environment for all down to a T. My two girls are [ 1 infant and 1 toddler] excited screaming excited to attend school everyday. Most kids don't get this vibe. Danielle, Chelsea B Skita and paola truly make being a infant teacher look easy, and we know it isn't. They love, protect, and care with such love for each baby like their own. Chelsea B is my littliest teacher and when my girlie is with her she doesn't miss me one bit [ which is such a good thing, i know some people are probably gasping at that thought lol] she is so kind and nurturing to my youngest. Now on to the amazing Toddler teachers for my now 2 year old. Miss Lisa, Emma, Simone and Lizzy- wow how you handle these toddlers is a true Art that i have yet to manage myself... can't thank them enough and my oldest has the most beautiful hair styles from Emma's salon :)

non the less, there may be other daycares out there, but if you want to feel no fear, for having your kids at a school all day please put yourself on the waitlist, yes a waitlist- like seeing Santa or going to the latest movie all good things have a line- WAIT like i did almost 1.5 years but now that we are here, i would never look back. Thank you to each and every teacher, admin and Miss Verna for making dreams come true, and mommy and daddy's minds at ease.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Our daughter has had an incredible experience at Weekday. The staff is kind and warm, they teach the students to communicate their feelings and work through things rather than shame or punish them. The program prioritizes play and the teachers value Social emotional learning. As a teacher, I can’t describe how hard it was to entrust others with my child because I’ve seen so many poor examples of early childhood education. I am so grateful we found Weekday Nursery! My daughter really loves it there and so do we!”

“Wonderful staff! I recently reached out to JCC to ask about their pool schedule and membership. People are so warm and kind!

The member services team are truly amazing and professional. They go above and beyond to help to ensure it's an efficient and smooth process. Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“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! ❤️”

“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.”

“Our family loves Anna & Jack's Treehouse.

The staff and management have been warm and engaging, and our son has been so happy since day one there.

Our son is well cared for in a safe, nurturing, and clean environment every day. We love being kept up to date on his day and receiving photos of some moments on the playground or during arts & crafts.

We highly recommend Anna & Jack's!”

“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.”

“I highly recommend this daycare. Teachers and staff are dedicated and very professional. My kid LOVE this place and is so excited to go to school. He learns how to socialize, STEM and does many different activities. They have an excellent educational program.”

“Pat-A-Cake Preschool is truly the best daycare and childcare center we could have ever hoped for. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and care. The teachers are not only professional and attentive—they are genuinely loving individuals who treat our child as if she were one of their own.

Every day, our daughter is greeted with smiles, hugs, and a nurturing environment that fosters both learning and emotional growth. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that each child feels safe, valued, and supported. It’s clear that they take pride in creating a space where children thrive.

We’ve seen incredible development in our child since she started at Pat-A-Cake, and we attribute so much of that to the dedication and compassion of the teachers. Their ability to connect with each child on a personal level is nothing short of remarkable.
If you’re looking for a preschool where your child will be loved, encouraged, and inspired every single day, Pat-A-Cake is the place.”

“Before my grandson graduates from Creative Beginnings and starts kindergarten - and before his sister is old enough to begin coming - I want to say that I’ve never come across so happy a learning environment as a child/mother/grandma!!
The time our boy has been there has not only been so happy - but the atmosphere created in the classroom between the children and the teachers and the other children is quite remarkable.
The way the kids know the kids and teachers from the other groups is lovely.
The way they’ve been taught to play together, to share and to tidy up (!! Even if not so much at home…) seems effortless.
The actual learning that has happened has been great and pretty impressive. The celebration of each and every festival and occasion is notable.
I just really wanted an opportunity to praise everything about this place!!
From Hugo’s grandma!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Needed to have a test done here. The place is immaculate. There was no wait time and everyone I dealt with was kind, caring and knowledgeable. Definitely made my experience stress free. They also followed all Covid protocols.”

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

“We had a wonderful experience at this daycare. From day one, the team was incredibly warm and welcoming, and our daughter felt at home right away. The staff consistently created a nurturing and supportive environment, and it was clear they genuinely cared about each child’s development and well-being.

Our daughter grew and thrived during her time here—socially, emotionally, and intellectually. We were always impressed by the thoughtful activities, strong communication, and the positive energy throughout the center.

A special thank you to Ms. Tina, who was always so kind and flexible with us—her support made a big difference and was truly appreciated.

It’s a place that sets a high standard for care, and we’re grateful for the time we spent there.”

“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 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.”
