Schools near Putnam Valley, NY

“My son spent his first year of his life at home. When he turned 12 months old, my husband and I temporarily enrolled him in a different daycare because I needed to focus on getting back into my career and knew that having a toddler at home would make it difficult for me to work. I'm so glad Once Upon a Time had an opening available!

My son has only been under OUAT's care for a little while, but I can say with confidence that he is doing great. He is well-cared for, the staff communicates with me using a log (the other daycare we temporarily tried out had no log!), he comes home tired after a long day of music, floor time, and socialization, and he truly seems to be learning. On his first day, OUAT introduced him to writing. I had no idea 13-month-olds have the fine motor skills to begin to write! I am thoroughly impressed by OUAT thus far, and I know my husband and I have made the right choice in care for our son.”

“Pied Piper is truly a special place. Kathy’s experience with pre-school aged children was a game changer for our son and truly helped both our kids love learning. Pied Piper provides such a rich experience for children between their fun themed days, Pre-K trips and truly engaging learning. Teachers really get to know your child as a learner and are really able to cater to their unique learning needs. All their staff is so lovely and show so much love for the students. Can’t say enough wonderful things about Pied Piper!”

“Amanda was amazing, respectful and very caring of my daughter and I would definitely recommend any parents who need day care to come check out Children of America Stony Point!”

“I can’t say enough good things about this daycare! From the moment we walked in, we felt a sense of warmth, safety, and genuine care. The staff are incredibly nurturing, professional, and attentive—not just to the children’s needs but also to the concerns and questions of parents.

Our child absolutely thrives here. Every day is filled with engaging activities, creative learning, and lots of smiles. The environment is clean, organized, and filled with age-appropriate toys and learning materials. I’ve also noticed a big improvement in my child’s communication, social skills, and independence since enrolling.

The daily updates and photos give me peace of mind, and I always feel informed about what’s happening. It’s obvious the staff take their role seriously and truly love what they do.

If you’re looking for a place where your child will be loved, supported, and encouraged to grow—this is it. We are so grateful to have found such a special place!”

“The Learning Garden Day Care Center has been such a blessing. The staff is incredibly patient, caring and genuinely invested in the kids growth. Every time that I walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, safe, and organized. The teachers go out of their way to communicate, send updates, and make sure each child feels seen and supported.
I have noticed such a big progress socially, emotionally, and academically. They keep the kids engaged with creative activities, outdoor play, and hands-on learning that actually gets them excited to go to daycare. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my child is in place where they’re not only cared for, but truly loved.
I would definitely recommend The Learning Garden to any parent who wants a trustworthy, nurturing environment fort their child. They’ve exceeded my expectations in every way.”

“My son has blossomed since being at Happy Hearts. The staff and teachers are amazing and they have been so accommodating when it comes to my changing schedule. I cannot recommend this place enough!”

“Our daughter started here when she was only 3 months old when I returned to work. Children’s Corner Learning Center made the transition so smooth and effortless! Her teachers have been so responsive and have provided our daughter with the most loving care…you can tell just by the smile on her face through all the pictures and updates we get throughout the day. I wouldn’t trust any other place with our daughter, they are truly the best! They have also been very accommodating with our schedule as my husband and I have rotating work schedules so the days we need care change on a weekly basis. They have easily accommodated us without any hassles, which has made life so much easier for us!”

The director, Ms. Rebecca, has created such a warm and nurturing environment for the kids to learn and grow. Shout out to Ms. Holly who is always my girls favorite person. We're so grateful for Lil Sprouts and highly recommend them to other families!”

“Visited the campus and met with the owner before we signed our daughter up for pre-k. This place is phenomenal! The staff are very caring and professional and the campus is much larger then I expected. There’s so many activities for the children to learn, play, and socialize here, and I believe this will be a major benefit in my daughter’s overall development. It also seems very safe and they take security very seriously. I’m really happy this school exists and I believe we will continue sending our daughter here until she starts public school.”
