“All three of our children have gone to Kiddie Academy, two starting as infants and we could not be happier with all of their experiences! Miss Chris and her staff are truly the best when it comes to early childhood education. We are so incredibly thankful for them.”

“Little Rascals is without a doubt the best decision we made for our daughter. After we had our second child we wanted her to have more socialization and stimulation but also just have something that was completely hers and little rascals was the best thing that ever happened to her and us. We know every day she is coming home and learning new things and is so excited to go to school everyday. From the 2 year old program last year Ms. Dulce and Ms. Lily cared for our daughter and taught her so much they are still her best friends today. I take comfort in knowing everyone in that school knows who she is and cares about her as if she was their own. It’s truly a community here between the kids, the team and the families. You will not regret having your child go here!! ❤️”

“NIS has steered our child in the right direction from the start. We are so thankful that our second child just started at NIS and our other is now in kindergarten conquering the world! Mrs. Jill deserves a huge raise for what she is handed and able to accomplish. We are so thankful both our sons have/had her!”

“Miss Lenore has been an absolute blessing to our family. Entrusting someone with your infant is never easy, but from the very first day, she put our minds at ease with her calm, nurturing presence and clear passion for caring for babies. She creates a warm, loving environment where each child is comforted, engaged, and well cared for. Miss Lenore is incredibly attentive—not only to your child’s basic needs but also to their developmental milestones. She is truly one of a kind.”

“Habitots is a majical experience! My nephew is always anxious & excited going here. They run and embrace the staff because they’re caring, loving and pay attention to the specific needs of every child. The staff is always cheerful & engaging with the children. My nephew is always happy to show me the games & songs he’s learned. The children are allowed to express themselves which is fantastic & encourages mental growth. I can’t compare any other place with Habitots. This place gets high marks from my husband & I.”

“The Learning Experience of Rocky Point is a very special school/day care. As a Special Education Itinerant Teacher for many years, I have worked in a multitude of pre-schools on the island. This location has been a pleasure to work at in multiple ways. The owner, directors, and managers are completely hands on. Their doors are always open to collaborate about any issues in the best interest of my students. Furthermore, they truly care. It is a pleasure watching the personal relationships between the owner/administration and all children in their care.

The teachers and assistants are fully on board as well. They are all truly wonderful, caring, competent, nurturing and efficient. Their diligent work and boundless energy is always in the best interest in the children. TLE of Rocky Point teachers make sure their lessons are engaging. It is clear they work hard to create educational, yet fun centers, and often work hard to modify when necessary, to meet the specific needs of all of their students.

The center itself is beautiful, warm and welcoming. The building is bright and spacious, and administration is constantly looking out for the safety of the children. They ensure all codes are current, and that all staff is following protocol.

It is a complete pleasure working with such animated, true professionals at this TLE. Staff has always treated me with kindness, professionalism and respect there. As an outsider, pushing in to a “foreign” facility, this is not always the case. It is truly a breath of fresh air.. just like their spacious and engaging playground.

I highly recommend The Learning Experience of Rocky Point if you are considering putting your child in day care or pre school.”

“Several of my grandchildren have been going here during the last twelve years!!! I highly recommend them. Each of them having a great experience. Miss Wendy and her staff are we wonderful.”

“Such a fun camp that offers so many activities for the kids. My daughter had a blast this summer. Every staff member is friendly and seems to really enjoy their job.”
