Schools near Syosset, NY

“By far the best daycare! My daughter has been here since she was 11months. Now is in the 2s class and I couldn’t be happier. They are so creative and she is always learning new things. She lovessss going to school and I know the teachers care deeply for her.”

“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.”

“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!”

“My daughter has been attending ladybug playhouse since she was 5 months old maybe younger now almost 2. She is the biggest mommys girl theres not many people she likes to go with but she loves going to daycare!! The teachers have all been beyond amazing, they send updates, pictures etc all throughout the day they are very organized and extremely responsive. I have tried other daycares in the area with my oldest and would only ever recommend lady bug playhouse to anyone having a baby or looking for child care.”

“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.”

“We love the TLE!! My granddaughter loves coming to the school everyday! The teachers are amazing and warm when I come to pick her up! I highly recommend the TLE!”

“We have had nothing but an excellent experience with the teachers and owners at Little Scholars. They are easy to communicate with, flexible and understanding of the needs of working parents. The teachers work hard to create a fun, safe and enriching learning environment for children. I would not hesitate to recommend Little Scholars!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“KinderCare at Huntington is a great facility! The teachers send photos and updates throughout the day which is so impressive because in addition to caring for so many babies, they’re making sure the parents stay updated on their children’s days. I cannot say enough amazing things about Miss Angela, Miss Kim, and Miss Jackie. They go above and beyond to make sure my son is taken care of, happy, and meeting his milestones. He absolutely beams when he sees them in the morning which makes leaving him a little bit easier.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Jacqueline and her team were amazing. The facility is very clean and exceptionally welcoming. They were more than accomodating for our little one and would recommend this daycare to anyone looking to enroll their child in a daycare and is considering this one particularly.”

“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've been sending our son to the summer camp here for two years and he absolutely loves it. The counselors use bright wheel to send pictures and communicate which has been amazing. All the counselors and admin are super nice, no complaints about anyone. Our boy will be going to preschool and we can't wait!”

“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.”

“? A Truly Exceptional Preschool - Tender Garden ?

As a parent, choosing the right preschool for my child is one of the most important decisions you can make — and I can confidently say that Tender Garden has been nothing short of a blessing for my family.

From the very first day, the warmth, care, and dedication of the Tender Garden team have been evident. The teachers and staff are not only highly qualified but also incredibly nurturing and patient. They create an environment where every child feels safe, seen, and celebrated.

What sets Tender Garden apart is their beautiful balance of play-based learning with meaningful structure. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, foster creativity, and build confidence — all while meeting each child exactly where they are developmentally.

My children have blossomed in ways we couldn’t have imagined — socially, emotionally, and academically. Every day they came home excited to share stories about their friends, the songs they sang, the art projects they created, and the new things they discovered. It’s clear that they feel genuinely happy and loved when they were at school.

The communication from the staff is outstanding. We always felt informed, involved, and supported. It’s comforting to know that the entire Tender Garden team treats every child as if they were their own.

If you’re looking for a preschool that combines warmth, quality education, and a true sense of community, Tender Garden is the place. I cannot recommend it enough — they have given our children the very best foundation to grow, learn, and thrive.

Thank you, Mrs. Yvonne, Mrs. Susan, Mrs. Lori, Mrs. Nicole and all the teachers aids at Tender Garden, for creating such a magical and loving place for my little ones. You are truly one of a kind!”

“All three of my kids went to pre-school here and all had an outstanding experience. It was tearful when our last one graduated and our time there was done. All of the teachers & staff were outstanding and we felt that they enabled our children to have the best first experience of school. Thank you so much for all that you do.”

“I am not a congregant and truly not an observant Jew. Rabbi Josh Franklin presided over the funeral service for my mother, graveside in Sag Harbor. We had only a small group of my closest people. Rabbi Franklin is an exceptional soul. He connect with each of us in his unique way. It’s hard to put it to words. He is a very special, kind and caring soul.”

“Our 15-month-old attends The Learning Experience in Plainview, specifically in the Infant room, and we've been pleased with our experience there.
The facility itself makes a good first impression; it comes across as very bright, welcoming, and consistently clean. This contributes to a pleasant atmosphere. As a parent, I feel welcomed at any time I arrive and am able to walk directly into the room which I love.
In the Infant room, the staff are attentive, warm and polite. They are nurturing and extremely patient with my daughter, and we feel confident that our daughter is safe and well-looked after while she's there. I can’t say enough positive things about the staff in the infant room!
I’ve also had great experience with the management team there. They are responsive to our questions and maintain a professional demeanor yet are extremely approachable. Their involvement in the daily operations of the center is noticeable, which helps ensure things run smoothly.
Overall, we would recommend The Learning Experience in Plainview to other families looking for childcare!”
