Schools near Purchase, NY

“My son started daycare here at 4.5 months old and has loved it since day one. He received so much love and attentive care from Rosany and Silvia in his first classroom and then with Nayeli and Rebeca when he moved up to the next classroom. Everyone is so nice and friendly. Seeing how much he loved daycare eased my anxiousness of leaving him to go to work. Also, the director Gricelda is super understanding and accommodating. I highly recommend this daycare!”

“Top notch staff, amazing activities (mountain biking, pottery wheel, outdoor adventure, ninja warrior, just go name a few). And they have towel service and provide hot lunch and busi transportation. My son misses the friends he made and wants to go back next season!”

“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’ve been trying to leave a review for a long time and I can’t find the words to describe how this facility has helped me and my little one. Our day starts very early and as healthcare worker and a single mom. The staff is amazing in so many ways. They always welcome us 6am with a smile and ready to start the day. She loves and talks about every staff and how they play with her and how they are her “best friend” I walk knowing she is in good hands and I appreciate the safe and nurturing environment they provide. It's clear that the caregivers prioritize a stimulating learning environment, which has had a positive impact on my child's development. I appreciate the effort put into making each day a valuable learning experience. If you are looking for a place you found it ! I’m incredibly grateful to have found this daycare. The early opening hours have been a lifesaver for me as a single mom, accommodating my schedule seamlessly. The staff's friendliness and reliability provide a sense of security, making it easier to entrust my four-year-old to their care. The engaging and educational activities contribute to my child's growth, and the effective communication channels, including the portal and prompt responses, further enhance my confidence in their services. Overall, discovering this daycare has been a blessing, and I am genuinely thankful for the positive impact it has had on both my child and me.”

“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.”

“Love the ECC! Both of my kids have been very happy there- the outdoor aspect of their program is fantastic, the kids get so much time to explore. The staff is great and the families are very involved. We’re glad we picked the ECC!”

“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.”

“We are so happy to have found the Briarcliff Manor Children's Corner Learning Center! When our daughter started, we were able to arrange a very smooth transition with the staff. They have been wonderful with all protocols during this time of COVID. They have great programming and we've really seen her embrace the social atmosphere and develop many skills. She really loves going everyday!”

“The staff is attentive and caring. The activities are fun but have an educational or developmental purpose. My daughter loves her days there and that smile is all I need to know it’s a great place for her :)”

“We love Prospect Academy very much and are so grateful to have the opportunity to have our son attend this school! The amount of attention and responsiveness given to meet the unique needs of every family at PA is completely unparalleled to any other school I have ever come across. The school provides kids with a fully bulingual environment full of daily creative educational experiences that address every aspect of the child's well-being and are planned and executed by knowledgeable and caring professionals. I truly brag about our school to everyone I meet! We spend 15 hours weekly on our commute to Prospect Academy from CT and feel this is totally worth the peace of mind of knowing that our child is in a safe, loving, and educationally stimulating environment every single day!”

“Our family felt like the staff truly cared about our children while they attended the center. The center was well run and any minor concerns that we ever had were addressed empathetically and immediately. I have recommended Lightbridge Academy to all of my mommy friends.”

“My son attended RHNS for the 3's and 4's program and it proved to be the most idyllic place to begin his schooling. All of his teachers were nurturing, caring and warm, and provided the perfect blend of fun and play combined with learning and structure. The school has wonderful resources available to them without being "over the top," and parental involvement is happily welcomed, though certainly not required. The Director of the school does a wonderful job of bringing in lovely families and many of these people turned out to be some of our dearest friends. RHNS is a true treasure.”

“Days of Wonder Childcare Program is the best full day program offered in the Rivertowns. We consider them our extended family. Our children have thrived in their programs. They not only take the time to get to know your children but the experiences they offer are invaluable. The teachers are so loving and truly bond with each child. It is very reassuring to know that you are leaving your children with staff that LOVE them. I can't say enough to praise the wonderful staff and program at Days of Wonder. We love you!”

“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!”

“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 child loves it here. He's been there through infant, toddler, and preschool. The teachers are incredibly caring, the learning opportunities and physical activities are really top notch, and his social development has been amazing to watch. I think they're really helped foster a level of caring and kindness amongst the children.”

“Our daughter has had the best year in the 3's program, she has wonderful, loving and caring teachers and the teaching program is superb. We are so thrilled to have found the school, and can't wait for our son to start the 2's next year! Great school, great ethos, great teachers and great community!”

“I have sent all three of my girls here, and I am sad to see that our time is coming to an end. The teachers and staff go above and beyond. There is such a sense of community, & family here at this school. The program has taught them so much from colors, shapes, letters, rhyming words, site words, how to hold a pencil correctly. This program will always hold such a special place in my heart. If you are looking for a preschool, I HIGHLY recommend, you will not be disappointed and neither will your children. Mine always came home happy & excited to share what they learned, and to talk about the amazing friends they have met.”

“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.”

“Our daughter has been at the The Learning Experience for almost one year and we are beyond pleased with our experience. She started when she was 6 months and has flourished since then. The center is updated, clean and safe. All the staff are friendly, courteous and compassionate.She spent about 6 months in the Infant B classroom. The teachers were so great and they cared so much for our daughter. Now she is in Infant D classroom and she is learning so much and engaging with all the other children. We received such thoughtful artwork and receive cute pictures of them interacting in the classroom. All her teachers have been amazing!As working parents, we know that our daughter is safe, happy and engaged throughout the day and this puts our minds at ease while we are at work. We highly recommend The Learning Experience and we are grateful chose them.”

“I highly recommend Liberty Montessori for its nurturing environment and excellent academic curriculum. I have sent both my children to Liberty for 3 years each. They were both exceptionally well prepared to enter Kindergarten in a competitive school district. I was particularly impressed by their ability to transition to an online format during the pandemic, as well as the numerous measures they have taken to keep the school operating safely once children were allowed back in. My children always loved their teachers and progressed academically as a direct result of the tailored curriculum. They have been taught reading, writing, math, languages, science, art, and yoga all in a loving environment. We could not have asked for more.”

“My 9 year old son (a return camper) said it was yet another amazing week. The coaches were good at teaching them new techniques, and it was fun for him to make new lax friends (all of course from a respectable social distance). He had a great time, and we were so thrilled it didn't have to cancel. We highly recommend!”

“My child attended the toddler class and now in preschool class (age 3). She has felt safe, happy and dealing with social interactions with classmates well. We initially thought about changing schools when she got to preK 3 but the hours are great; she has a regular group of kids and teachers she knows. The staff calls me after every incident so I am aware and can observe later in the day. They send a report to email daily about what she learned and what she ate and potty breaks (not 100% accurate but generally true.) They helped potty train her. They have monthly parents night out for parents and the kids get to stay in school- watch a movie and eat dinner and dessert. They are peanut free and accommodating to other food allergies- it’s clear to the people in the class if there are food allergens to be avoided. They provide 2 healthy snacks a day and you provide lunch with pizza Friday as an option- which we do take advantage of. Lots of programs a month and flexibility with taking your child out and bringing them back. My daughter is lucky and has not had any major illnesses but I do take her to her doctor to be cleared before coming back. It is a well program so you have to have outside assistance if your child is sick but I haven’t heard anything about outlandish quarantine practices. Good school and nice families- very diverse group of folks.”

“I cannot say enough good things about tutor time pleasantville. They treat my son like he is their own and I can feel that they adore him. It is so reassuring to go to work knowing he is in the best hands.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“We are huge fans of MCNS preschool and are so grateful for the amazing and nurturing environment that my children have experienced while being a part of this wonderful community. I am grateful every day that I came across a place like this after moving to Westchester - with teachers and staff that support and love their students while going above and beyond to ensure their safety and well-being. We love you, mcns!”
