Schools near Roosevelt, NY

“The Children who come through this daycare center truly become family. They even build family like bonds with the staff. 20 plus years later and when we see each other it’s like seeing a relative. Highly recommend this daycare center! The staff go above and beyond caring for the children. The children also are fed nutritious meals fully cooked in the kitchen, 3 times a day!”

“My daughter Yerowo attended Acedemy explorer from the age of one. Her teachers, Ms.Christian, Ms.Torie Ms Stephanie Ms Shelander, Ms.Eneis and many others weren't just her teachers, they became families. I will highly recommend anyone who is looking for a reputable early child care from infant to prek and after school program.”

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! My son has been at Tiny Tykes since April and he has grown leaps and bounds. When he arrives, he is so excited to see his classmates and happily runs into the classroom. Everyday they do fun activities and lots of arts and crafts. The school has many themed activities for the month and the curriculum is great. My son’s teachers are kind and hands on and I never have any worries that he is in good hands. Miss Chrissy and Miss Jeanne run an amazing school and we look forward to sending our other son there when he is old enough. Tiny Tykes is a wonderful place!!”

“As a mother, entrusting someone else with the care of your child is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. It is even worse if your child has a disability with a severe speech delay. From the moment I first stepped into The Learning Center Academy at Oceanside, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace. The bright, cheerful classrooms, the smell of fresh art supplies, and the warm greetings from the staff instantly told me this was more than just a daycare.

Miss Kim who gave me the tour was phenomenal. She was patient and attentive to what I had to say about my son. When I told about his autistic diagnosis, she did not flinch. After 4 years on this journey , I am used to people losing their enthusiasm once I tell them that my baby is autistic. Miss Kim asked specific questions to help address Zac's communication and developmental needs without making me feel that my baby didn't belong.
The teachers and staff here are truly something special. My son's face lights up every morning when we pull into the parking lot, and that’s how I know he feels safe and loved here.
His classroom teacher Miss Aneeza is the sweetest. She truly bonded with us from day one. We have only had one incident since we started, and it was handled with such professionalism and care.

Every day, I receive updates, pictures, and little stories about his day—what he learned, the activities he enjoyed, what he ate, how much he napped and even the silly moments that make him laugh. I get updates both through the app and another verbal report at pick up.
The curriculum is engaging and creative, yet the environment is relaxed enough for children to explore and be themselves. I watch my son becoming more confident about exploring his environment everyday. That again tells me he feels safe and loved.

They serve a well balanced meal and 2 healthy snacks. My son does love to eat, but he can be picky. So I pack a backup up nut free lunch in case he doesn't eat what is served. His favorites are the whole grain pizza and whole grain pasta with sauce lunch.

What I love most is the way they embrace every child’s individuality. They celebrate diversity, encourage kindness, and teach values that go far beyond ABCs and 123s. My son is autistic with very limited verbal and social skills. The staff always greets him and speaks to him like they do with every child even when he doesn't respond. And when he does respond, they get so happy and they praise him for trying. Seeing their face when my little one gives a verbal respond tells me that they care about the same things I do. They encourage him to play with other kids, but they also allow him his own space to be alone.

If you are a parent searching for a place where your child will be loved, inspired, and supported every single day, I cannot recommend The Learning Experience in Oceanside enough.”

“Almost 2 years ago we were looking for a school for our daughter to attend. We have a nanny so we did not need a day care. We looked into 3 places, South Shore being one of them. South Shore had a warm and friendly vibe. They have actual little classrooms! Other places we visited had more of a day care vibe. Something we did not want. The teachers, assistants and office staff were kind, helpful and patient with me. I was a nervous wreck sending my only child at almost 2 years old to a place away from home but my husband and I knew she was ready to be in a school setting to learn more and to be in social situations. We could not be happier with the teachers and staff at South Shore! As a teacher myself, I am beyond impressed with the many different academic activites the teachers do with the children. Their curriculum truly covers everything. Our daughter is more than prepared for UPK (which she is attending at South Shore) and has made many friendships. She even attends camp there and LOVES it!”

“Teachers are great and there's not enough praise to put into writing to say how amazing the teachers are. The care and attention they give to the kids is priceless. The teachers focus on growth and development is unmatched. The faculty all give there 110% to the children leaving parents worry free.”

“Our son spent a year at this daycare and had a wonderful experience! The staff is caring and attentive and administration is communicative and professional. I appreciated the detailed daily updates and could tell that my son enjoyed being there whenever I came to pick him up. The hours are also very convenient for working parents.”

“We truly love St. Mark’s Cooperative Nursery School and feel so grateful to have found this hidden gem! The program is led by certified teachers and thoughtfully designed around a play-based model that supports social, emotional, and academic growth in a developmentally appropriate way. Mrs. Testa and Miss Megan are incredible—loving, caring, kind, patient, and deeply attentive, fostering an environment where each child feels seen and valued. Special Days are an opportunity for parents and caregivers to be a part of the magic in the classroom, creating a strong sense of connection and trust. The enrichment program and extended day opportunities are a huge plus, offering engaging activities that genuinely enhance the children’s experience. St. Mark’s also offers spacious indoor and outdoor playgrounds so they can stay active and explore year-round. Weekly music classes with Miss Krysta are another highlight! Most importantly, the focus on social-emotional development has helped my son build confidence, kindness, and independence, while preparing him for the demands of kindergarten. We couldn’t recommend St. Mark’s more highly.”

“My son started Academic Explorers approximately 6 months ago and he loves it! He’s happy to go every morning and has been learning so much. One day he came home counting in Spanish and I was happy because it shows how much they’re learning at school. If you’ve been wondering where to send your children, I would highly recommend this establishment! Everyone is friendly and welcoming and your kids will feel safe and at home.”

“When my kid was 1 I had such anxiety finding proper care and finding people that I could trust leaving my kid with.. so if you are a mom like me I’m here to reassure you that Meacham child care is the best place for your kid. My kid is 2 and talking at a 4year old level. My kid is 2! And counting by 2s. So you know there actually learning in this facility. If your having troubles potty training Meacham child care offers assistance. If you’re a working parent they have time frames where you can pick up your child at 5pm. They do come home with homework in their workbooks which is a one time fee, yet you absolutely CANNOT put a price tag on your child’s education and progress. They wear uniforms so no need to worry about what they’re going to wear everyday. They accept kids from 6months to 4yrs old. There are parties, parades, and even a prom when their going to graduate..I mean it don’t get no sweeter than that..oh and there is also SUMMER CAMP. So if your a worried mom like me worry no more because Mrs.B the sweetest most understanding Jamaican owner and Mrs crystal all the kids favorite and Mrs Kelley the kids hype woman. Trust they will take great care of your child. Enrollment is open get a tour visit the school I promise you you won’t regret it.”

“Our child has been going here for 2 years now and it’s been such a great experience. We are blessed to be a part of this community and for the great staff at this establishment!”

“5-Stars are not enough for how well run this learning center is for young children. My son attended both during camp and during the school year and only have the highest regard for Lori and her amazing team. My son saw noticeable advancements in all phases of life due to the diverse curriculum that's provided in Ms Stacey's class. Could not recommend Bright Star enough!”

“The Goddard School of North Bellmore is an incredible school for early childhood centered around development, community, and excellence. The teachers and administrators are all incredibly invested in the children and it shows through each interaction they have with the students and parents. Our children's days are filled with learning, arts & crafts, music, imaginative play & outdoor time. The facilities are top notch and the school is very clean at all times. We have been very pleased with our experience at the school so far and our children are always happy to see their teachers and friends.”

“My son has been going to TLC for 2+ years and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for child care. They treat us like family and accommodate all of our needs. Everyone on staff is kind and caring, and I feel 100% at ease knowing he is in their care all day! Lots of learning, along with fun on a daily basis!”

“I have been so happy with Harbor Child Care in Herricks. My daughter LOVES going to Daycare and I know that she is being well taken care of and learning a ton. She loves to come home and tell me about everything she did. Everyone who works there is so friendly and always has a big smile and warmly welcomes you. We both love her teachers. She loves the food and the field trips they take are great. I highly recommend them, I am so happy I switched from my previous daycare”

“Best place for you children! Amazing teachers, great curriculum and activities, cleaned and safe place, warm and healthy meals prepared at their kitchen and very positive and supportive staff overall. Had my son for one year at Kiddie (at Ms. Dyamond and Ms. Ari class, who are amazing teachers) and saw him happy and thriving every day. I was not recommended by anyone for this place, was just looking for daycare for my son and went for a tour at Kiddie and liked it since the first time I saw the facility and staff there. Would have been continued sending my son again at Kiddie Academy of Floral Park if we didn't move from Queens. 100% recommend.”

“We had an amazing summer at Red Robin’s camp. There were so many fun activities for the kids - crafts, nature, sports, swimming, etc - as well as special theme days. It’s clear that the directors and every staff member cares about the campers and have a vested interest in their happiness. There are small groups and consistent counselors thought the summer so they really get to know the kids (unlike other camps where counselors can change multiple times in a summer). My child can’t wait to go back next summer when he will be old enough to start going on some of the day trips. My only regret is not finding Red Robin prior to this summer.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our children received here. Ms. Renee was incredibly warm, patient, and truly invested in my child’s growth. We especially love the consistent updates and photos we receive throughout the day, it gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in such a nurturing environment. It’s clear the staff loves what they do!”

“My son goes to this daycare for over a year now and I’m so grateful for the amazing staff. As a first-time mom, leaving my child every day wasn’t easy, but Ms. Joanne, the director, has truly made me feel comfortable and at ease from the beginning. She is kind, understanding, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the children and the families.
All the teachers are wonderful. They are patient, caring, and my son clearly feels very comfortable with them.
Another great thing is that parents have access to the cameras, which gives me extra peace of mind during the day.
The only thing I wish they offered is a meal plan for the kids, which would make things even easier for parents. Other than that, it means so much to know my child is in such a caring and positive environment. I’m very thankful for the team here and would definitely recommend this daycare to other parents.”

“This is our sons 2nd home! Being new to the area we were worried about my son adjusting but Ms Joanne and Ms Johnna have been an absolute delight. The space is cozy yet vibrant, they keep him engaged all day and he comes home happy and with tons of arts and crafts he prepared throughout the day. We're so happy we found them and that they are so caring to our son.”

“I usually never write reviews but this place definitely deserves all the praises they can get. My two girls went there since 17 months and trust me it was the best decision ever. Both Ms Luv and Ms Singh go over and beyond for the child and the atmosphere is just so homely. We definitely recommend this to every for there children. They learn so much and feel at home at the same time.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My daughter has attended Wind ‘n Willow since she was 18 months old, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. Linda is truly the best—flexible, understanding, and always willing to work with the unique needs of both children and their families.

The entire staff cares for the children as if they were their own. As a parent, that level of love, attention, and dedication is priceless. The safety and security measures always gave me complete peace of mind, knowing my daughter was in the best hands every day.

The academic foundation she received at Wind ‘n Willow has been incredible. The confidence she gained through their nurturing environment has prepared her so well for UPK and beyond.

I recently welcomed my son, and I already can't wait until he's old enough to attend. Choosing Wind ‘n Willow was one of the best decisions we've made for our family, and I will forever be grateful for the love, support, confidence, and educational advantages they have given my daughter. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Kids Campus has been a wonderful experience for our family. The staff creates a safe, nurturing, and well-structured environment for the children, which gave me a lot of peace of mind as a parent.

One of the things that stood out most to me was how my son would light up when he saw his teachers each day, especially Ms. Yassandra and Ms. Ashley. It was clear that he felt comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for in their classroom. Seeing that kind of connection between teachers and children means everything to a parent.

I also truly appreciated the great communication and updates the team consistently provided. As a parent, those updates were very comforting and helped me feel connected to my child’s day and confident in the care he was receiving.

Leaving Kids Campus was not an easy decision for us. The only reason we transitioned was due to a change in my work assignment and the need for childcare closer to our home. Otherwise, we would have happily stayed.

I am very grateful for the patience, care, and attention the entire team provides to the children. I would absolutely recommend Kids Campus to any family looking for a warm, supportive daycare environment.”

“Kiddie Junction is the best school to take any of your young children! I have twin boys who had a bad experience somewhere else & had separation anxiety and they treated us so kindly & welcomed us so warmly. They know exactly what they are doing & are so sweet and caring. My sons enjoy to go to school & are thriving! Everyone in Kiddie Junction is fabulous and such professionals! Thank you Miss Abby, Miss Jillian and Miss Sammie! You are all so wonderful!”

“We absolutely adore Tutor Time Baldwin! Our daughter loves going every day, and we couldn't be happier with the incredible care she receives. Her teachers, Toni Ann, Mariel and Tara are truly fantastic and so caring. We have complete peace of mind knowing she is safe and loved.”

“My son started last September in the duckling class. In a few short weeks, his vocabulary grew. The teachers and staff are so kind and welcoming. They have great communication. He is currently doing the summer camp this summer and will be there again in the fall.”

“I am so grateful for this daycare! The infant room staff in every one of the infant rooms are incredibly gentle, attentive, and loving. My son is always cared for, comforted, and engaged throughout the day. The space is clean, safe, and truly nurturing. I couldn’t be happier with the care at Tutor Time for my son and feel safe dropping him off each day.”

“We had a wonderful experience at Great Neck Community School with our son, who attended for one year as a four-year-old. The teachers truly care about the children and create a warm, supportive environment that helps them grow with confidence. We always felt positive about the care and attention he received, and we highly recommend this school to other families looking for a nurturing early childhood program.”

“This location is to die for !!! I was nervous about my son attending school due to past trauma myself. Thankfully this academy is nothing but exceptional. I am glad to have come across kiddie academy. Love the calendar events and truly enjoy all the events they have for children and parents. Teachers and staff truly care for their students. 10 out of 10. Sadly, my son has to take a step back due to personal issues but I pray he will be able to return.”
