“It's a pleasure for me because I remember the time of my training when I was taking this school. It was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot. It's a good school.”

“The Learning Experience has been a tremendous experience for my daughter and I… She has been attending TLE in Deer Park since she was 8 months.. My little girl is turning 5 in a few days.. She has grown into a little young lady and I could not have done it without the teachers, staff, administration and everyone that works at TLE.. Everyone at TLE is not just about the textbook version of learning..The LOVE that is shown to the kids when they are upset or feeling down is remarkable.. I could not have picked a better place for my daughter to grow.. we all know how scary it can he to leave your kids in someone else hands..The communication and pictures you get throughout the day is amazing. A very Special shoutout to Jessica…who is the manager at the Deer Park location.. she has been there for me during some tough times and she has listened to me every morning at 7 am.. Thank you for always being there JESS….. xoxoxoxooxxoLove to all of the staff at TLE IN Deer Park..”

“My daughter is a recent graduate of Mill Pond Pre-K program. She started attending the school since she was a 4mo infant. Now that she has been going to public Kindergarten for over two months, I can tell she is very prepped from Mill Pond.The past 4-5 years have been an excellent experience with the teaching team at Mill Pond. Choosing Mill Pond was the best decision our family have ever made.Mill Pond rocks!!!”

“I am so happy we decided to enroll our daughter here. She is learning so much, she loves going to see her teachers and friends. Miss Angie made sure our daughter transitioned in the best way ever and she’s amazing with the class. The facilities are spotless and the staff is always welcoming, professional and friendly. I thank the staff for giving me that peace of mind that my daughter is being cared for and loved when we’re not with her”

“I highly recommend Pride & Joy to anyone looking for a daycare for their child/children. Throughout the 4+ years my son attended, they took superb care of him. Teaching him all the right things at the various ages and stages. The staff there really became is daytime family and I am forever grateful for the wonderful care and education they provided.”

“I cannot speak enough good things about this facility. Facility is clean and well-kept. Staff is kind. Teachers are amazing. I was new to the day care world, and The Learning Experience in Northport has set the bar very high.Facility utilizes app with notifications of diaper changes, feedings, and academics with pictures of your child.Highly recommend!”

“Ms. Lynette is an exceptional teacher at children of America, and she has made a lasting impact on my daughter's development and growth. Her dedication, patience, and creativity shine through in everything she does.From the moment i first met Ms. Lynette, I knew my daughter was in good hands. She creates a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore and learn. Her passion for teaching is evident in the way she engages with each child, tailoring activities to their individual needs and interests.Ms. Lynette's communication skills are top-notch, keeping me informed about my daughter's progress and always willing to answer any questions i may have. She goes above and beyond to make sure that every child in her care feels supported and loved.I am so grateful to have had Lynette as our daughter's teacher. She is truly a gem, and i can't thank her enough for all that she does. My daughter has flourished under her guidance, and I am confident that she is laying a strong foundation for her future success. Thank you, Ms. Lynette, for being such a wonderful teacher and role model!”

“I've been to this place. Few times and they have change it around. I do like it better this way, considering when I first started coming they barely had baby clothes. Now, when you enter in, it's toys/clothes and other items for toddlers and teens, which they update every now and again which I like. When you walk into the back, where they had classes for kids to do fun activities, it's all items for babies. Which I absolutely love that they did this. I'm not sure if they still do the activities for the kids though.”

“I decided to place my child in daycare after he turned a year. I honestly didn't think it was that big of a deal, but turns out my second baby had strong attachment issues. The team at KinderCare was SOOOO patient with him. It took about 5 full days for him to get comfortable and now it is smooth sailing. I get updates on everything from when he was changed, to what he is eating/ate, to his nap time and TONS of photos and videos. What I also love about KinderCare is that they offer breakfast and lunch, plus snacks, so you don't have to worry about packing the lunch bag every morning. The facility also comes HIGHLY recommended. I am really looking forward to seeing how my baby grows over the next few years. I am very thankful to have a great staff supporting my child and also me!”

“This location is great hands down. All the teachers are great and know majority of the kids that attend the school. It close to everything so before or after you pick up your kid, you can pickup dinner. I recommend!! ?”

“There is not a better place that I would want work or my children to spend their summers than Park Shore, Country Day Camp and School. The best Activities for both myself as a staff member and the children as campers beings a smile to my face. ? I can’t think of a better way to spend my summers.”

“The staff is so welcoming and so caring! My son has been going here since he was 12weeks old and is now 2. My son actually asks to go to daycare and gets upset when we tell him it’s the weekend. The staff there truly care and love the kids as their own. So thankful to know my son is so well taken care of when I need to work!”

“Kiddie Academy has been the best environment for my child. He was born with a chronic health condition and there was never a time the staff members were hesitant or intimidated on giving him the best of care so that he can grow seamlessly with the rest of his group. They maintained a complex medication regimen while still incorporating the educational program into my son's schedule. Kiddie Academy has played an instrumental role in my families life because of the first class care that has been provided to my son and i'll be forever grateful.”

“I've been taking my son to tutor time on larkfield since he was 13 months old. He is now 2 years old and we are beyond satisfied with how they run their programs. And most importantly, he LOVESSSSS IT! Every time there is some kind of change to the staff or any new programs are introduced a notification will go out explaining everything in detail. They hire they best people who are highly trained and work with them everyday to build on every child social, physical, and mental skills. The app they use to keep all parents updated on day to day activities is amazing, my husband lovessss it! We live such busy lives and being able to see what going on with our son at school ( the pictures are a bonus! and so cute ) really makes us happy.”

“Such an amazing place! My daughter has been so happy here. The teachers treat my daughter as if she was there own and she cannot wait to go back every day. She has learned so much, and they were so helpful with the transition process. Very interactive including several field trips, guest speakers, events and more! I cannot recommend this place enough. Over the summer my daughter has not stopped talking about going back to school and every time we pass the building she asks to go to school.”

“There has been some amazing lead teachers in Infant 1 and 2 being Amanda and Diana to name those who stand out. You can clearly see that both truly care for each child by the small (not so noticeable gestures) done on a daily basis. For example (continuous hugs, laughs, taking time out to read to the class, tending to an upset child swiftly..to just name a few) but are so important. Although my child is particular, she happily embraced them with open arms every single morning. My child has since moved up recently but truly grateful for the positive experiences in infant 1 and 2.”

“Kidtastic Kids is an amazing school. My daughter thrived there and was totally ready when she entered kindergarten. The teachers and owner are wonderful and easy to work with. I have recommended this school to countless families who have all been thrilled with the care and attentiveness to each child's needs. These people know children. They are caring, kind, supportive and helpful and any child would be lucky to begin their education with Kidtastic.”

“This is the 2nd tutor time my son has attended. The first was a nightmare. I transferred my son to this location and it was like day and night. The staff adheres to the lesson plans with very structured classrooms and goes above and beyond to work with my son regardless of the challenges. So grateful for the staff and the director here that has always promptly addressed any concerns I've had.”

“Absoutley adore all the teachers that my daughter had, especially the most recent ones. Mrs. Alyssa ( who sadly left) , and mr. Zach and ms Kaylee. My daughter is smitten with them, and the fact that they listen and know how my daughter is and whats her strength and weakness and also helping me to get my daughter where she's suppose to be is beyond what they are suppose to do, If I can give a more stars I would. My daughter is very shy, and for her to be so comfortable in her class makes me so happy.”

“I have been part of the Tiny Treasures Community since sending my first child there in 2018. Now, in 2023, my other two children are currently attending. The owners, administrative staff and teachers are all loving, caring, trustworthy and professional. My children enjoy attending daycare each day. I highly recommend Tiny Treasures for all your childcare needs.”

“What can I say about this amazing establishment. To start extremely caring and professional staff. When I drop off my little ones I know my kids are in loving and safe hands. Everyone in the building genuinely loves every child in their care and they go over the top for every one of their students. I absolutely love this place. My daughter’s teacher Mrs Melissa is amazing she not only loves my little girl but has taught her so many valuable skills she’s going to need when she starts UPK she’s a rockstar . Mrs Jackie the star of the school is my Sons Teacher. He is 2 years old and I can’t believe all the things he has been learning while attending her class. It’s absolutely amazing and tough to believe, this little boy knows all his colors , shapes and can recite the alphabet from A-to-Z. It’s never a dull moment when watching little ones but the Everbrook girls in Smithtown just know how to make it work. I’m extremely happy I found them ! if you are in the market for a great Pre school for your little ones I highly recommend this School.”

“SSCC was the best place I could have chosen to send my daughter for daycare. This is not just a daycare. Not only are the programs and schedules flexible for early childhood learning but allows the children to have fun while developing at such an important age. My daughter is 2 and started in the summer camp which was great. This year she is in Miss Tess's class. The care, love and compassion she and her assistants have for my daughter and ALL their students is beyond compare. I know that while I am at work my daughter is being taken care of by someone who genuinely cares for her. I can not say enough great things about everyone I have encountered here at SCC ! THANK YOU!”

“We appreciate the hard working staff and experience our child enjoys at this location.Only complaint is the tuition keeps rising and it's the only reason we may have to leave.”
