“Absolutely the best date night idea ever! We had so much fun and also felt so safe and comfortable with the instructors. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely be back!”

“The Community House is a true treasure in Forest Hills. All three of my kids went to school and after-school here, and it’s been an incredible part of our lives. They learned to swim here, made lifelong friends, and grew in confidence. The staff is amazing — they truly care about the kids and the community. This is so much more than a facility; it’s a place that brings families together and helps children.”

“The staff here is so attentive and caring. My kids have been attending here for two years and they love it ! If there ever is a problem, they address is it immediately. I would definitely recommend everyone to bring their kids here. Will not find a better and suitable place.”

“This school is truly the best! Both of my children have attended—my 9-year-old daughter started here at age 2, and now my 3-year-old son is thriving as well. The school is always spotless, and the teachers are phenomenal. Ms. Wendy and Ms. Yesenia were so patient and made my husband and me feel completely confident leaving our son in their care. Ms. Veronica (both), Ms. Maria, and Ms. Mariah are also wonderful! We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend this school.”

“This provides excellent environment for studies and teachers have vast knowledge in their respective areas. The extra curriculum enhance the students to take part in various activities.”

“I always get my medicine from this pharmacy and they are very quick with their service! I recommend to anyone living in the Kensington area as they are also very easy to communicate with.”

“Choosing a preschool for our little one was a daunting task. As parents, trust is paramount, and finding a place where we felt truly comfortable entrusting our child's early education was challenging. However, our worries dissolved the moment we stepped into Our Kids Place.

From the warm welcoming staff to the engaging curriculum, this place exceeded all our expectations.

The staff here radiates genuine care and passion for what they do, making it easy to trust them with our daughter. Each day, my daughter eagerly looks forward to going to school, a testament to the nurturing environment provided by the dedicated teachers and staff.

The curriculum at OKP is not only educational but also tailored to the individual needs and interests of each child. It's amazing to see my daughter's excitement as she learns through play, exploration, and hands-on activities.

Beyond academics, the emphasis on social-emotional development is truly commendable. My daughter has blossomed here, building friendships, gaining confidence, and developing important life skills that will serve her well now and will utilize in the years to come.

In summary, OKP is not just a place where children learn; it's a community where they thrive. We couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll our daughter here, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking a nurturing, enriching, and trustworthy preschool experience!”

“After spending the first 15 months at home with baby, the process of finding a great daycare that would met my needs and wants was not an easy task. From the minute we came for a tour, baby was very responsive, walking up to the administrative staff. It was clear my child was very pleased and enjoyed the environment.Having access to the app to see all the pictures that are posted and any questions I may have during the day is also an added benefit. Since starting at the wooden shoe, there is so much noticeable social development that we have witnessed, especially learning. Singing the alphabet , counting and just more socially excited and engaged with people are some of the few benefits of this daycare. Most importantly, from the minute I drop off my child I am not anxious, worried or concerned, because I know they are being properly cared for and loved on. All the teachers know my childs name and are soo kind. Kids want to feel important and have a desire for belonging. I can see by the way my child is excited about daycare from the minute we park the car out front, that they feel the love from everyone there. Every meal, diaper change and naps are tracked in the app, thats some great attention to detail. Even when you are away you can still keep track of what your child is doing in the day, its nice.Some other things I like that are not related to childcare, i really like how responsive the administrative staff is. I can send an email in the morning and get extremely fast responses. As a healthcare professional, I take professionalism extremely seriously, so this is a huge plus. I really like how they present themselves when it comes down to my questions and providing answers. Also, we communicate with the teacher what we are teaching our child at home, and the teacher reinforces that in school and vice versa. Its great all around.Daycare is an investment in your child's future. And this is an investment that we are extremely happy to make. This place is an answered prayer, very grateful to God for everyone at the Wooden Shoe :)”

“There are no words that can express how grateful I am to The Pickwick School. During the two years my son was at school it was a super beautiful experience for both of us. Thanks to the teachers and the staff for making a memorable story for my child and I. I do definitely recommend the schools. The staff and teacher take care the kids like one of they own .Thank you to the teachers and staff for the care of my son and directing him towards a better educational future. ??”

“I am taught here as a kid in school year and in the sports camp. They were perfect. Mrs.Alberti taught us in 2nd Grade and I excelled. When you enter through the front door(2 doors,not 4), on the right,you’ll see a Mary statue with the administrator’s office and principal’s office behind. On the left is a bad bench. If you keep going forward you’ll pass by 3-8 grade classrooms and the gym(to the stairs is the art room),but if you turn right,you’ll see2-K or 1 grade classrooms,a door to outside and a door to the cleaner’s room(there’s also another one in the boy’s bathroom next to the first cleaning room). Besides,if you want to go to the basement/lunch room/Pre-k and 1st grade classrooms(there are 2 of them: A and B. Maybe ask them?),just go downstairs near the front door. If you look around more,you’ll see the school nurse. There are problely more things in this school,but that’s all I know.”

“We have been a part of Kings Bay Y now for over 4 years. This is our last year as part of the education program. To say we are sad is an understatement. The teachers have been nothing short of phenomenal with the kids. They truly do care about each kid. We are sending the kids to the day camp now as well. While technically my 5 year old could go to the "big kids" camo, she will be going to the preschool camp one last time just because we aren't ready to say goodbye to the teachers and friends that have been made.My older daughter will be going into her second year in the day camp. She had a great first year and loved her counselors and the friends she made. She will be joining the same group from last year.I highly recommend attending the school as well as the day camp.”

“I am so happy this location has full service. Not a lot of Gas stations provide the full service. I know you pay a price but is sure worth it. Price is less than expected.”

“Both of my kids have gone to Basin Prep, and it’s truly the best daycare in the neighborhood. The staff is caring, professional, and always goes above and beyond. The environment is safe, clean, and full of learning and fun. We’ve had nothing but an excellent experience!”

“I love this school as well as the teachers and staff at Stepping Stone Pre and Grade School. They know every kid by name as well as the child’s needs, enabling them to provide all that is needed for each child to learn and grow! My daughter currently attends Stepping stone the teachers have been beyond amazing, and passionate about educating the children. They really know what they are doing & are very well trained. The classrooms’ presence is very warm and welcoming while the teachers seem to maintain an encouraging fun vibe so the children seem to have a lot of fun in class and are excited to go to school!”

“Bushwick United Headstart is a very good preschool. When I was enrolling my child to get into preschool, I have noticed that it was very difficult to get him into any kind of school program because of the surge of young preschool age children that needed school. This school accepted him and I was so grateful for that!! I wanted him to go to a Headstart program because my child was showing signs that he needed early intervention and I was told that head start was a good option. The teachers and the principle are wonderful people. They have an excellent Headstart program, but if your child has special needs or a learning disability of some kind, your child may not be able to stay there full days, maybe 4 hours at most and a parent would be called for pick up, so be on stand by for picking up your child. They will have your child evaluated if it is obvious that it needs to be done.
I think this preschool is great for children that are not on the spectrum or have some kind of ADHD. They will benefit greatly from what they have to offer.”

“Мy daughter went to summer camp here. It is a very nice place with great staff. I liked that they have a nice backyard where the kids play a lot in the summer. In our area this is the best kindergarten with reasonable price. your child will be in good hands if you choose this place.”

“Great school for special needs kids. Great staff, teachers, teachers assistants, paras, speech therapist, OT, PT. Principal awesome. I highly recommend checking the school out!”

“Our family has had an absolutely wonderful experience at Mi Casita. From the open, airy layout of the classrooms to the warm and attentive staff – theres so much thought and intention put into our child’s daily learning experience. It’s been a joy to see how our daughter has grown during her time here. She went from speaking zero Spanish to confidently being able to speak and understand several words, phrases and songs (and we are not a Spanish-speaking household!). The Montessori style Reggio-Emilia approach means that the kids are constantly creating and being encouraged to be inquisitive about the world around them. They go outside daily when weather permits, have the most loving teachers and engage in lots of fun arts and crafts. Mi Casita is not just a school, it’s a community! It’s also very conveniently located in Bed-Stuy near the G train.”

“My son goes to school here, and I couldn't be happier that he does! The principal, the teachers, and even the lady in the front office are SO nice and respectful. The children do fun, cute activities and they get play time and nap time. The children also get breakfast and lunch FOR FREE! My son is learning to be more independent. I'd recommend anyone to send their kids here. My son is in 3K, and as soon as my daughter is old enough I'm going to enroll her here too.”

“I must say that the day I walked into this school, I fell in love. The staff are friendly and kind. The owner of the school (Mrs. Chin) is so warm, humble, and accommodating. Since my daughter started attending this program, my daughter has been doing very well in her reading, writing, and counting. I have been so impressed with the level of teaching they provide to their students. My 2-year old also started talking much earlier than other students in the class and now has been able to get out of her shell and engage so well with others. I have no complaints about the school. They have a nice balance of school work and play time during school hours and provide individual attention to all their students. I am excited to start my 3rd child in this program as soon as she turns 2. Therefore, I would most definitely recommend this school if you are in search of a great school in the Queens Village area.”

“The best school !!! My daughter learned everything a 2-3 year old needs to know by that age. The teachers & directors are so loving and understanding towards the kids & the parents. I recommend this school 100% to anyone!! . The best school my child could of have ever attended. My daughter is now going to 3K there I love the teachers . Ms Marie is my number #1 well I think she’s everyone #1 teacher she’s the best teacher your kid can have from day care to now she’s going to 3K. She taught my daughter how to draw she taught my daughter the colors the animals so many songs that are appropriate such as learning songs & some dancing songs . Ms Marie taught my daughter how to use the toilet now my daughter is potty trained thanks to her . My daughter suffered from eczema & she helped me with creams as well . Best school 100% recommended this will always be unforgettable. If I ever have another kid I want my kid here with all the same teachers”

“School staff care about the children genuinely and cater to each child’s needs individually. Very community and team based. Offers many additional specials like art therapy, music therapy and yoga in the classroom. A great preschool where children learn new skills at their own pace and have teachers who care for them.”

“One of the best schools ever. My teachers make sure each and every student understand whats going on in the class. Im in the 8th grade soon to graduate and i can truly say that 66 has been the greatest for me. I've been there since the third grade and i guarantee you (or your kid) the best years of learning.”
