“Sending my child to TLE has been an absolute joy! Paola in Prepper B works wonders with the children, creating a perfect blend of fun and learning. Her magic touch ensures the kids are engaged and happy every day. Rebecca, the Director, is incredibly informative and keeps us in the loop with everything. Highly recommended for a place where happy truly happens all the time! We also need to thank the other leaders Julie and Ms. Yummy (who keeps the children so well fes!).”

“My child has been attending Pied Piper for almost a year. The growth that she’s made in her time there is absolutely mind blowing. She looks forward to going everyday and knows that she is loved and safe while there. I couldn’t imagine sending my child anywhere else.”

“I’ve been a teacher at TLE for just over a year. The directors are amazing and offer plenty of support to their staff. I was given the opportunity to complete my CDA as one of the perks offered to employees, which has enabled me to advance my career as a toddler teacher. The bond that I have made with my coworkers is amazing. We all work together to help and support each other. It truly feels like we’re a family. Overall, my experience working here has been fantastic!”

“Love the ECC! Both of my kids have been very happy there- the outdoor aspect of their program is fantastic, the kids get so much time to explore. The staff is great and the families are very involved. We’re glad we picked the ECC!”

“Red Owl, where my 4-year-old attends, is truly exceptional. The dedicated teachers and staff create an enriching environment that fosters both learning and genuine care. Their commitment to nurturing young minds goes beyond the ordinary, making it a place where my child not only learns but also flourishes. I am consistently impressed by the creativity, patience, and passion exhibited by the team at Red Owl, making it a truly remarkable center for early childhood education.”

“We love Prospect Academy very much and are so grateful to have the opportunity to have our son attend this school! The amount of attention and responsiveness given to meet the unique needs of every family at PA is completely unparalleled to any other school I have ever come across. The school provides kids with a fully bulingual environment full of daily creative educational experiences that address every aspect of the child's well-being and are planned and executed by knowledgeable and caring professionals. I truly brag about our school to everyone I meet! We spend 15 hours weekly on our commute to Prospect Academy from CT and feel this is totally worth the peace of mind of knowing that our child is in a safe, loving, and educationally stimulating environment every single day!”

“Our 5 year old son has practically been raised since birth by the amazing team at KC. When he started at just 9 weeks old, Miss Janet hugged me and reassured me that my baby would be so loved in their care. Since then, Miss Janet not only took care of our son as though he were her own, but also took the same loving care of our second born son 3 years later. As our oldest now prepares to graduate and move on to elementary school this year, I know that he has the tools and ability to take on anything that comes his way and friendships that will last a lifetime. Some of the other amazing caregivers who have been by our side on this 5 year journey are specifically Miss Ashley, Miss Navi, Miss Alicia, and Miss Tania. Look no further than OTKC when searching for top notch care.”

“My 3 children just spent their first summer at Mohawk Day Camp and they can’t wait to go back next summer. Sending them there was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I’ve made as a parent. After my 10-year-old daughter’s challenging school year dealing with bullies, she made so many new friends at camp that she adored and felt comfortable trying new things with (rock wall climbing, the flying squirrel, and the high ropes course just to name a few). Her self-confidence skyrocketed and she can’t wait to add on the 1-week sleep-away option that’s offered by the camp next summer so she can go away with all of her new camp friends. She also loved the ability to build her own weekly schedule by selecting activities that she was the most interested in for her choice and elective periods. It definitely made her feel more independent and “like an adult” as she says, being able to spend more time doing the activities that she loves. My 6-year-old son who had no interest in sports prior to camp found his love for tennis (which we never would have thought of trying on our own) and he was so excited to work towards reaching new swimming levels. He would come home grinning from ear-to-ear each time he received his light-up card showing that he moved up. My son can also be very emotional at times and Amanda was a miracle worker. She found the best ways to help my son regulate how he was feeling and keep the fun going. My 3-year-old daughter began camp with a speech delay and ended camp talking non-stop despite her lapse in services over the summer. She came home singing so many cute songs (she’s still singing the watermelon song on a daily basis), and was so excited to tell me about what she did at camp that it definitely motivated her to try harder to formulate full sentences. And I know that my youngest is very strong-willed and can be very stubborn at times but her counselors were so patient with her all summer long. Not only was I receiving daily pics via the Mohawk App, but Valerin always made sure to communicate how my daughter’s day went which made me feel much more comfortable with her being there for full days at such a young age. Valerin also never gave up when my daughter refused instructional swim and would only participate during recreational (she was so used to just playing in pools prior to camp and definitely put up a fight at first). Valerin had the whole group cheering my daughter on and getting her excited to practice different swimming skills. The day she received her first moving up card, I actually found her hugging it in her sleep after she went to bed which was the cutest thing. She was so proud of herself.

Bottom line, if you want the absolute best summer experience for your child then send them to Mohawk! Between the endless daily activities, the awesome special events, and the phenomenal staff, your kids will have the time of their life! I couldn’t be happier with my decision to send my kids there this summer and they all can't wait to go back.”

“The staff is attentive and caring. The activities are fun but have an educational or developmental purpose. My daughter loves her days there and that smile is all I need to know it’s a great place for her :)”

“My two sons attended daycare here for two years, even through the height of the pandemic. They stayed open and followed all the safety protocols, which was such a comfort in a hectic time. Ms. Hope was always so loving and caring with our two boys. They were always happy to come and happy at pick-up time.”

“Highly recommend! Teachers and staff are amazing - we love getting to chat with them at beginning and end of the day. Our child loves going to school and is safe, having fun, socializing with other kids and is beyond well taken care of - we've been going since 5 months old! The daily activities and curriculum are incredible. The app is wonderful to be updated on what's happening each day. We are so happy with the choice we made to go to Bright Horizons at Westchester Executive Park!”

“Our child loves it here. He's been there through infant, toddler, and preschool. The teachers are incredibly caring, the learning opportunities and physical activities are really top notch, and his social development has been amazing to watch. I think they're really helped foster a level of caring and kindness amongst the children.”

“I am so grateful to the staff here. I was so stressed trying to juggle 2 kids under 3, sending my toddler here twice per week has really helped my mental health. The staff are so kind to her, they have cameras so you can see everything. My daughter has improved her speech and doesn’t seem as anxious in social settings.”

“Our Goddard Decision: The Journey & the gift that keeps on giving………We have been part of the Goddard family since 2018. After many months of interviews and endless driving around looking at daycare facilities we encountered The Goddard school through some additional research. The initial welcome, info sharing and overall warmth of the front office staff was, quite frankly, a relief!!. A guided tour of the classrooms and introductions to potential teachers overwhelmingly solidified that this place was something special! We enrolled our daughter just before her 2nd birthday.As a parent it’s hard to leave your children with new people in places you don’t really know, but Goddard made it easy! From day one we started what was to be an amazing journey for both our daughters and son. All of the teachers and administrative staff took the time and care in getting to know us and more importantly, our family.In 2021, we enrolled our youngest daughter at 6 months old. There is nowhere else in the world we could imagine sending our infant! Knowing we were sending our baby to Goddard and that she would be in amazing hands, made a typically stressful transition period much easier.One of the biggest testaments we can offer is how the staff conducted themselves during Covid. The stress of that time was immense and when it was time to go back to school, there were even more questions and uncertainties. From the Director down, the empathy, understanding, and guidance around all the requirements was outstanding. The transparency and visibility was never in question, even when some hard questions were asked. This was a solidification to us on making the best choice we could have done for our children.Now, our older daughter, who is in 2nd grade, goes back to Goddard for camp! It truly feels like the Goddard School has become an extension of our family. We truly can’t say enough great things about the staff and the facility!!”

“The staff is so warm and welcoming. They truly love all of the children in their care and make it a priority to get to know each family. The directors Ms.Chika and Ms.Perla have gone above and beyond to make TLE Dobbs Ferry a truly special place. I couldn't be happier with TLE Dobbs Ferry! ❤️”

“I cannot say enough good things about tutor time pleasantville. They treat my son like he is their own and I can feel that they adore him. It is so reassuring to go to work knowing he is in the best hands.”

“Our son is the second child that has attended The Little Red because we were so impressed with Anna a few years ago when our daughter was there. His verbal, behavioral and social skills have advanced incredibly since September. He is always talking about his friends, Mrs. M/Ms. Noelle and all of the things he has done that day. Anna has a different weekly theme which includes stories, arts and crafts, sensory bin, etc. The children not only work on their communication and behavioral skills, but also gross and fine motor skills as well. The class size is small with 6 children per 2 adults which allows the children to connect with each other and enhance their learning. Anna is also wonderful with potty training and will give advice on any issues/concerns you may have with your childs learning/behavior. We are sad that the school year is coming to an end because it means that our family’s time is up with Anna. I would not hesitate recommending TLR to anyone as it is a caring and enriching environment for your child.”

“Pooh & Friends is a great day care. I honestly enjoyed having my son Jonah there. He loved the staff and his friends. Ms. Barbara is an amazing person and so is her kind staff. Both my wife and I are truly grateful to them.”

“We have been a Tutor Time family for nearly 8 years, with all three of our sons attending starting as infants. The management team under Andressa has created the best environment I have seen to date. The teachers are great with the kids, the programs engaging and my kids are happy there. I would recommend to anyone considering.”

“I love that this is a house, the class rooms feel like living rooms. They have many playgrounds outside and the kids go out two or three times a day, weather depending. In the summer they play with water outside. My child loves it, our second one will go there, too. It was recommended by my neighbors who bring their second one there. One complaint is that they use disposable plastic ware for food and drinks. Sadly this is normal in this country and is usually difficult to fix due to lack of space, this is why I am understanding for their situation and do not subtract a star ;)”

“My son has blossomed since being at Happy Hearts. The staff and teachers are amazing and they have been so accommodating when it comes to my changing schedule. I cannot recommend this place enough!”

“We started our son at Children’s Corner on Westchester Ave when he was 6 months old. After considering several child care options, we quickly felt we made the correct choice with how great the infant teachers were. Miss Anastasia and Nancy remained his favorite teachers even as he progressed out of the infant room. Aliya'h and Cookie run the center and are great with communication. We had to relocate our son to a different center due to a move, but we kept him enrolled at a different Children’s Corner location due to the positive experience at Westchester Ave. As good of a total value as you’ll find in the area.”

“My kid just finished the preschool program at Kaleidoscope. This is such a welcoming place for children and parents. My kid was terrified of school before coming here, but on his first day, he got so excited by the murals that he was able to go in. The admins are communicative and very easy to work with as well. My kid had proactive, communicative teachers who fostered such a wonderful learning environment, and my kid and I are sad to leave. It's really amazing to see how they helped transform my shy, reticent toddler into a confident preschooler. Thank you for such a wonderful year!”

“Needed to have a test done here. The place is immaculate. There was no wait time and everyone I dealt with was kind, caring and knowledgeable. Definitely made my experience stress free. They also followed all Covid protocols.”

“My kids have been participating in shows (Jellybeans through Workshop & Lab) for the past 6 years. It is consistently the activity they look forward to each week. I am amazed what they can put together in 10 weeks. And, the organization is awesome! You know exactly when & where you need to be for every rehearsal before you sign up. The instructors are all extremely talented, patient & so enthusiastic. They are the best!”
