“I just want to leave a quick short review I regards to my grandchild who attended Brookhaven . My grandchild is thriving in school and we owe it to Miss Nicole for installing a love for learning in my grandchild . My grandchild learned so much but most important my grandchild learned how to handle their emotions and love school. Miss Nicole was always happy , loves her job and I think everyone can tell that who meets her . Good job Brookhaven and Miss Nicole and Thank you !!”

“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!! ❤️”

“I know this is a long review but if you take the time to read it you will understand just how much this school and its staff mean to our family. As a mom of a child with special needs I was honestly going back and forth about whether or not to bring Lucas to his preschool graduation. These milestone moments can be emotional but they can also be scary. Lucas gets overwhelmed easily needs a lot of reassurance and does best when he has support nearby. I worried that he wouldn’t be able to sit through the ceremony that he would become anxious or that he wouldn’t be able to participate the way the other children could. The staff kept telling me not to worry and encouraged me to bring him and I am so thankful that I listened. Yesterday turned out to be one of the most special days I have ever experienced as a parent. From the moment we arrived everything was beautiful organized and welcoming. Jenn the new Director and Kerri the new Assistant Director did an incredible job putting everything together. You could tell how much thought care and hard work went into making the day special for every child and family. Caitlin has always been someone I can count on. She never fails to make sure every child’s needs are met and that every family feels supported. She genuinely cares about the children and goes above and beyond every single day. Knowing Lucas has people like her in his corner brings me so much comfort. Dennise Lucas’s preschool teacher deserves so much recognition. She knows Lucas so well and has always believed in him even during times when I questioned whether he was ready for something. She reassured me over and over that he would do great and that he would thrive. Her confidence in him helped give me confidence too. Watching him graduate yesterday I couldn’t stop thinking about how right she was. To Miss Angelina who wasn’t able to be there for the graduation thank you for everything you have done for Lucas throughout these months as the teacher assistant. Your support and care have not gone unnoticed. To Miss Alieyanna thank you for becoming such a wonderful part of the team. Your kindness and patience make such a difference. A very special thank you goes to Mr. Jesse and Miss Veronica. Lucas would not have gotten through that ceremony without you. Lucas gets anxious and overwhelmed easily and Jesse made sure he was comfortable from start to finish. He stayed by Lucas’s side the entire ceremony reassuring him helping him stay calm and making sure he felt safe and included. As a parent seeing someone care for your child the way you would care for them yourself means everything. The patience understanding and kindness you showed him will stay with me always. Lastly Mr. Atlas thank you for always being so wonderful with Lucas and for helping make the event fun and exciting for all of the children and parents. Your energy and care never go unnoticed. Most importantly thank you to every teacher and staff member at The Learning Experience Medford. As a parent of a child who sometimes needs a little extra support that means more than I can ever put into words. Yesterday, I watched my son do something I wasn’t sure he would be able to do. I watched him participate I watched him smile and I watched him walk across the stage at his preschool graduation. It may seem like a small moment to some people but for our family it was huge. It was a moment filled with pride gratitude and happy tears. My little boy did it.Thank you TLE for believing in Lucas for supporting him and for helping him thrive. Because of all of you I got to experience a memory that I will always hold on to forever ❤️”

“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.”

“The staff is amazing, the school is clean. My daughter gets up & can’t get out of the door soon enough. On the days she doesn’t go she is so up set because she misses Mrs. Tyeeba. Very great school & I am so grateful my older daughter found this school. Definitely one in a million considering all the disgusting day cares out there. Not to mention they send you updates through out the day on when your child has been changed, what your child ate, photos of what they do. You don’t get that at many places. Thank you Mrs Sonia for allowing up to come & be a permanent friend. If you are looking for a day care do not walk, run to HabiTots Preschool & Childcare center.”

“My daughter attended Galileo preschool for about two years and it was an excellent experience. The teachers and leadership were amazing. She learned a lot at the school, learned her colors, shapes and numbers. She learned to write her name. She even learned a little Spanish.”

“RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE, and TRUSTWORTHY childcare. I am a Registered Nurse Supervisor who has experience with early childhood education prior to my current profession. Story Book Hollow is by far the best child care facility my children have been to, and they have been to many. The ratios of teacher to child are low, meaning more attention for my 2 and 1 year olds. The staff retention rate is high. I could not ask for a better facility. They incorporate high standards of learning, the same as a corporation like Tutor Time, but with the perks of SAFE STAFFING. As a supervisor, covid-19 hit my facility hard. I knew my children would be safe and best cared for in Story Book Hollow. I don’t ever have to worry. They truly enforce all safety precautions.They promoted my children to drink from a regular cup at age 1, sleep independently at age 1, and ultimately grow up to be independent all around. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FACILITY. You do not need to look any further. I opted to write this review because they have treated my children so lovely. My children’s are “mamas girls” and they leave my arms with ease to enter the facility.”

“I love Kiddie Academy of Farmingville. I feel so safe and secure leaving my son in their care. They're on point with everything they do and always keep the parent looped in. Plus the teachers are all so loving and caring. Everything is nice and clean. Thank you to the staff and administration for making time apart from my child that much easier!”

“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.”

“Sent our son here for 3 year old pre school and summer camp this past year. He had miss kelle and miss Marie for preschool and miss Christina for summer camp. He absolutely loved it here and learned a lot too. The staff are all friendly and welcoming and really made me feel comfortable leaving my son with them and we searched and toured a lot of places before making a decision. They created such a friendly atmosphere for the kids, my son wanted to hug each kid before leaving every day! Despite him only attending twice a week it felt like all the staff knew him and my family when we dropped off and picked up. Amy the director does a phenomenal job at being present, responsive and Helpful. We will be back with our other children in the future ! Thank you !!!”

“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.”

“As a parent who goes to this location, I would like to counteract the review about the babies in the cribs outside. That day, the fire alarms had gone off. Us parents were notified by the amazing acting director that they had to shelter in place at the pizza parlor next door for a bit while the firefighters were in the building.They all did the right thing by getting our children out safely. The changes that have been made are absolutely wonderful!”
