“As I leave today with my son after two years of the best days of his childhood, and one of the most loving, caring and compassionate places, I have ever felt so comfortable to leave him with I can definitely say today I feel the same way as I did 2 1/2 years ago when I was taking through a tour of Little Rascals When I was told in a small voice, just wanted to let you know that Little Rascals is more than a daycare. It really is a family. I didn’t know it then as I thought it was just a marketing word, but it really is their lifeline and motto most of the people that work there , keep on coming back and you have 10 people who have been there for it seems to be a lifetime where other organizations daycare facilities and afterschool programs are having trouble finding staffing and have waitlist. I would be surprised if they were turning people away due to the amount of people who truly love working there as I’ve never seen an employee not smiling . Thank you to the team in which I mean thank you to our extended family for taking care of Starvo and all of his needs but most of all thank you for the respect that you gave me the time and more importantly the memories that will last a lifetime you will not soon be forgotten and I’m gonna make sure we still get there every single holiday possible Because I will take that drive 25 minutes to your location just like I have done the last two years any day”

“Our daughter has been going to COA since she was 7 months old (she will be 3 in just a few short weeks). All of her teachers have been incredible and we can't say enough about them. Miss Sonda, Miss Pina, Miss Kaitlin, and Miss Jaclyn are amazing teachers. The additional staff that support the classrooms like Miss Nina and Miss Jordan are also so wonderful! I also can't forget to shout out Miss Alex, who is an incredible director! Her love and passion for the school and the kids really shows! All of their support and care for our daughter has truly made us feel so comfortable leaving her in their competent and loving hands.”

I couldn’t be more proud of him. The teachers are incredible. I couldn’t picture a better place for my son. I’m forever grateful for all they do for him and happy with all he has learned thus far!”

“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.”

“LOVE Kiddie Academy of Wading River. My 4 year old and 2.5 year old moved to KA after being in another care center. The immediate impact, I will forever be grateful for. Within three weeks, my 4 year old was writing his name and soon the entire alphabet. KA is vibrant, curriculum focused and fun!”

“This is a wonder daycare!!! My son was there for about 4 years and we recently left because he started “big boy school”. The owner and director are amazing and they truly care for the kids. They partner with you and they do become family. My son was very loved and I couldn’t have been more lucky to have found them. They have great teachers who are also super engaged with the kids development. My son learned so much, I highly recommend Galileo ❤️”

“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.”

“My child loves going here ! She loves the summer program, everyday she comes home excited to tel me about her day. They have many activities Like the game bus,art projects, and dance parties. I would highly recommend.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The best summer camp!! Both of my children have been attending for the last 7 years and every summer they look forward to it. The staff is respectful, compassionate and attentive. The environment is safe, nurturing and fun! My children are hoping to be CITs and counselors in the future because they never want to leave. I highly recommend this camp!”

“Tutor Time of Holbrook has been under new management for close to a year, it is now absolutely the best childcare facility I have seen! I am very impressed with the professional staff and the day-to-day curriculum is top notch!! Quite often I have witnessed children who don't want to go home because they are having such a wonderful time! They offer a clean, safe environment for young ones ! Highly recommended!!”
