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.”

“Reliable Child Care has truly been a safe space for my child. He's blossomed here and I know it's because of the care and support he receives daily from the administration and his teachers. The communication with admin and staff alike has been stellar. I look forward to the pictures and daily reports of how he is doing. I'm very happy to have my child enrolled here. This place is simply a blessing.”

“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!”

“My son has been attending TLG for about a year now. He started when he was 13 months old and before that, was home with me. He was also an only child at the time so transitioning into a daycare was a big step for both of us. After interviewing many daycares we fell in love with TLG and I have no regrets. The staff is incredibly nurturing. My son has grown to love, trust and become attached to all his teachers. I have peace of mind knowing my child is happy and is in good hands when I drop him off. That’s all you can ask for in a daycare.”

“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!”

“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!”

“We absolutely love Lil Sprouts! Both of my kids have thrived there thanks to the caring, dedicated staff and fun activities. 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.”
