“I have worked with Lorraine for some time to improve my health and it has been an amazing experience. Lorraine has really helped me through a number of challenging health issues. I am genuinely surprised by how much better I feel and how much my health has improved with Lorraine's guidance. Lorraine's recommendations are so feasible and Lorraine is incredibly supportive. Lorraine is thorough, attentive, kind, and a pleasure to work with. Lorraine provides scientifically based recommendations and explanations for health improvement that fit naturally into your daily life and are supportive of positive change. I have never felt better or had more energy, and I have a much better understanding of what I can do to support my health goals in sustainable ways. I can't recommend Lorraine enough!”

“We chose Goddard School for our 3-month old daughter after researching all of the options within a several mile radius. We couldn't be happier with our choice. We love her teachers Ms. Christine and Ms. Madison! Our daughter's face lights up every time she sees them in the mornings. We drop her off knowing she is not only getting terrific care from people who love her, but she's also learning so much! We are thrilled with her progress - every day she has lots of great activities. We know she is in great hands at Goddard and can't be happier with our choice. We know you'll feel the same.”

“We love this daycare; very caring and nurturing environment. We are very impressed with their program and structure provided to our toddler. He loves going in and is always super excited to tell us about his day. Very grateful for Hannah’s leadership and how she has shaped the program.”

“The BEST toddler program at FiDi area! The director and the teachers are very reliable and responsive. The school will send detailed lesson plan every week. These teachers are educators, not just childcare givers. My kid really enjoyed the program and learned a lot from the teachers!”

“The staff here are incredible, so much so its hard to call them staff. Everyone is so attentive and provides so much care, all the way from the school directors to our child's carers. Hopefully the 5* review is enough to convey our satisfaction but here are a few highlights:* Great updates throughout the day on what our child is doing* Our child received true care and love, it made us so happy and comfortable* Our child really developed (e.g. signing, interacting with other babies, getting comfortable being around non-family, etc)* Great activities from finger painting to Halloween dress-up* Secure pick-up and drop-off* Probably dozens of things I can't think ofThank you to everyone at Primrose!”

“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 had an amazing experience with The Learning Experience for 3K and 4K. Much of that has to do with the Jessica, the Director. She truly cares about the kids. She runs TLE like an incredibly efficient business with a passion for the children in a nurturing environment. After going to another daycare center with my son, we found TLE incredibly on top of everything and consistent.Jessica is always available and a great communicator. She is always so pleasant and professional. Even after my child started kindergarten, she checked in on him.We loved our time at TLE and highly recommend it. The staff is great, the center is very well kept and the parent communications are plentiful. Hands down the best decision we made was to send our son to TLE for preschool.”

“Murray Hill Wee Ones Club has changed my daughter's life. We have been there since she was three months old and I've watched grow socially and emotionally. She has so many friends! Community is very important to their Director. She brings her early childhood expertise to the classes. I believe my one year old daughter is talking and walking this month because of the weekly classes! We never miss. I absolutely love the time with my daughter and the other Mom's and caregivers.”

“Super happy with Zplay! We moved to New York a few years ago and it was initially hard for my child, but he's grown comfortable talking to all the other kids and I'm glad he's been able to practice Russian outside of home!”

“Morningside Playcare has been such a wonderful experience for both my son (age 4) and our family! Their staff is so experienced and truly cares about each and every child. They honor their school's philosophy but also respect your choices. They understand what it takes for children to thrive and provide amazing parent/children check in points! The most thorough we've ever had! We wish we could stay with them forever!”

“I found this church during the height of the Covid Pandemic, in which I was home bound, and could not attend my local church in Atlanta. Through the outreach program at St. Bart’s Church, NY, NY, I found this spiritually-based, egalitarian church via television broadcasting throughout America (and perhaps elsewhere). All of the clergy are exceptionally kind and intelligent. This is a love-based church, as Jesus had taught us all to be in reaching for God.”

“Absolutely love this school and so upset that my son aged out. The staff is absolutely amazing, lessons are play based/relevant/engaging and stimulating. My son has some learning difficulties and the school was great in meeting his special needs. BCPS is a loving and warm inclusive environment that is very community oriented.”

“My son has been attending Bright Horizons at East 46th street since March of 2023. We were referred to BH by a friend after my son had extreme difficulty settling into a 2’s program at another school. The friendly and welcoming staff at Bright Horizons were confident they could transition our son into their program and have gone above and beyond in doing so. From our first day there, the center director and assistant director have been nothing but positive and communicative regarding our son and his progress. Over the past 4 months we have watched him grow in ways we never thought possible, even dropping him off without tears as he runs toward whatever wonderful activity his teachers have set up for the day. From water play, to painting and dancing, reading, walks, and singing, our son is constantly stimulated and we love receiving updates via their app throughout the day. The teachers at BH are so loving, patient and hands on and meet each child where they are developmentally and emotionally. We are so thankful to everyone at BH for being a part of our sons life and educational journey.”

“My family enjoyed our years at Purple Circle. An amazingly nurturing environment and very community minded. Elaine and Laurie are so very passionate about our children”

“We had a very positive experience using Learning and Fun as a backup daycare. My 4.5-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter attended random days in May and June 2023 when their program was closed. The tuition was very reasonable, and they were very flexible with the schedule and enrollment. The kids had a great time and were always smiling and having fun at pick-up. The teachers are very kind and attentive and the kids were learning about so many fun thing. I especially loved getting pictures of them during the day using the ‘brightwheel’ app. I also found that communicating with the owners- Ros and Oksana- was very easy. They were very responsive and helpful during the entire progress of signing the kids up and transitioning them there for backup care. I would highly recommend this daycare! My kids can’t wait to back in the fall ”

“We love our gymboree classes! Out daughter has been going from 3 months to 2 years and it is by far her favorite activity. She now loves to reenact her gymboree classes with her toys and stuffed animals. The teachers and staff are great, you can tell they love their job and all the kids.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Bright Horizons at NYP midtown! Both of my daughters were at the center from 14 weeks old through PreK. My younger daughter just had her last day last week as she is getting ready to start kindergarten and we were so sad to leave. The teachers my daughter have had have been so warm and nurturing. They have loved going to school. The director Jessica is also wonderful and has been so communicative, welcoming, and warm. We will miss everyone deeply!”

“We roamed to this center in April 2023 from our original location. My 3yo son attended this school for a week. It's great to know that you can leave your kids in a safe place while traveling, and I love that we can use any of the GPM centers around the world. Everyone was very supportive while my son was there, he enjoyed a lot of extracurricular activities and playing in Central Park. When we traveled to NYC again in October 2023, he really wanted to go back to this location however we had to choose a different one because this location doesn't have a Nido program and we needed care for my daughter as well.”

“Incredible community center, where I've been taking ceramics classes at the art school situated on the lower level. I schlepp from BK to support an art school -- and the cost savings compared to other private classes that are within walking distance of where I live is totally worth it. All the teachers are wonderful, and there's just a warm and welcoming community here!”

“I went to Makeup Designory in 2018-2019 and it was truly the best experience I could ever wish for. It was the first time I loved going to school and learning about something I am so passionate about. I did the Fashion Makeup Artistry Program which was 392 clock hours. I had Lisa, J Sterling, and Meredith as my amazing teachers! We were taught everything between artistry to sanitation to even how to network. MUD set me up for success as a Makeup Artist. I now am working as a bicoastal Makeup Artist in Los Angeles and New York. My work has had multiple publishes and I have been in some amazing rooms doing what I love all thanks to MUD. I would recommend this school to any artist who is passionate about their craft and wants to learn from the pros! I still am in contact with my teachers from MUD and I love visiting Makeup Designory as an Alumni. This week I actually plan on visiting the Burbank MUD location! To whoever is reading this I wish you the best luck on your path as a Makeup Artist, Makeup Designory is the best place to start your makeup journey!Xx Mia Dondero @miadonderomakeup”

“My daughter went to the new 1538 2nd Ave location for half a year until we moved. I found the infants room teachers to be very knowledgeable and loving. They nap-trained her, bottle-trained her, and taught her how to wave and clap. Every morning, when we arrive, she smiles and waves to her teachers and the directors, and I'm so sad to have to pull her away from them all. Deyanira is a very professional and sweet assistant director. She and the lead teacher, Ms. Yanci, gave me parenting tips and support. Ms. Jeannine treated my daughter like her own. Daycare was a great option for us with work from home, and I felt a good deal of peace entrusting my daughter to them everyday.”

“My daughter attends Stephen Gaynor. It's amazing! From the principal to teachers and staff. Top notch education for children with learning differences and bright minds!”

“This place has been in business for 31 years, and it shows. The only day care/pre-school around that has a nice outdoor space too. Caring crew, flexible, and they make all the effort to make sure my child is happy. Music teacher, crafts, outdoor walks, and also helped us train our 2 year old on the potty!”

“American Academy is without a doubt the best grooming my standard poodle ever had ... he looks forward to getting groomed . The school is warm and staff is caring and loving of all animals ... if you have a dog please try this place .. you won't be sorry”

“Warm and inviting no one is ever turned away, no matter what the situation is very helpful to the community. It was a pleasure volunteering at the JCC for child something there I would recommend this place to anybody.”

“Very happy we decided to enroll our daughter in her important first years in The Goddard School Upper West Side.  She learned, sang, danced, made friends, had a great time and was in good hands. Everyday she was excited and happy to go to her school, she barely complained or said she didn’t want go. We really would like to thank every Staff member at the Goddard School who took time to guide her, nourish her, teach her and show her a fun way of Learning.We definitely recommend it !”

“My decision to enroll my daughters into The Studio School was definitely a back patting moment for me as a parent. I knew the moment I visited for a tour that an education from here would equate to a tremendous amount of personal growth along with a challenging academic curriculum.You know you’re a happy parent when even you have a favorite class! For me there were two. Logical Reasoning and Kitchen Science are by far a few of some of the most innovative approaches to encouraging hands on critical thinking skills. My children, having already been well prepared academically, graduated The Studio School a great deal more prepared for a future that they are now ready to find their place in.”

“We were only at Montclare for one year because we moved to NJ, but our experience was fantastic. Such a wonderful place for children and they struck the right balance in adapting to the pandemic. We will miss them dearly and our child still talks about her teachers and friends from Montclare.”

“Both of our children have attended and currently attend WSFP. We have been at the school for over 4 years between both children. It is the most loving, nurturing, comforting place. We truly adore the teachers, Elaine, and her son Henry. They have created a family at their school. When covid hit, it was devastating not to be able to attend school but, Elaine and her staff made sure to keep all of the families connected on Zoom each day with either a puppet show, music class, or a daily chat so each of the kids could see one another and their teachers. School reopened thankfully in January of 2021, and we were so grateful. Elaine had all of her protocols put into place and even remodeled the school to make it even more charming. They offer cooking , yoga, music, art, parties for all of the children, parties for every holiday, they invite family to come in and celebrate a special holiday or event, they take the children to the park, to neighborhood spots such as the vet or the pet shop, they visit the 97th street market, and the school also has a beautiful fenced in backyard with lots of fun things to play with. We trust WSFP with our entire heart, and they will always be part of our lives. We love all of the WSFP staff!!! Love, Samantha and Josh”

“My son started here when he was 5 months old and we've been here ~1.5 years. Even before we enrolled, I was impressed with the caring and loving nature of the staff. They have only continued to exceed our expectations.In addition to their impressive curriculum, school activities, and amazing teachers and staff, they have opportunities for both family and parent-only activities outside of school hours. The school community as a whole is also unique to the area as the families have built a strong network and are always willing to lend a helping hand.Sunshine Lexington is not the closest daycare to our home/work, but I am more than willing to go the extra few blocks to know that my son is receiving a high quality education and even better care.”
