Schools near Delmar, NY

“We absolutely love Kiddie Academy. Our son has been going for over a year now, and we have adored all of his teachers. They have all been so communicative with us through the good and bad. We wouldn’t feel comfortable sending our kids anywhere else!”

“Senior lunches are good but portions are a bit smaller than filling. The indoor pool needs fixing but no one can figure out how to raise the money quickly. More programming is needed.”

“I have two children attending TI both through the lottery. We love this school so much. When I drop my kids off at school I am filled with a sense of peace and joy knowing they will be safe, loved, and cared for. I find the staff all to be very passionate about teaching and well-suited for their roles. The communication between the teachers, director, and parents is excellent. We get weekly (sometimes more) updates on what they are learning and what is needed from us / is coming up. Although my family is Christian - we love the Jewish aspect of the school. A Muslim acquaintance of mine is also looking forward to sending her child here soon. Personally, my family has enjoyed learning about the Jewish faith and celebrating the Jewish holidays. There are many kids of all faiths, races, and backgrounds in the UPK and 3PK classes. The diversity is wonderful. Packing a vegetarian lunch took a little getting used to but like other reviewers have mentioned my kid's lunches are very healthy because of it. I send them scrambled eggs, PBJ, lots of fruit, nuts (they have nut-free classes if needed), and lots of cheese and crackers. Both of my kids attend TI currently. When one was at daycare and the other at TI it was hard to manage the Christian and Jewish days off as they weren't all the same - but it was worth it because my kids are thriving at the school. Lastly, I want to say that although we have two lottery spots we loved it so much with our first child we put a deposit down for a private spot in the school just in case we didn't get a spot in the lottery. The director refunded the deposit for us when we heard from the district that we had won the lottery again. (The only lottery I ever expect I'll win, and that's okay lol)”

“If I can give 10-star, I will not hesitate to do so! My toddler daughter loves this daycare center so much, and so do we! The teachers and the admins are super friendly, caring and loving! They provided various activities that fit children's physical, psychosocial and interpersonal needs and they have a super positive vibes that foster children's everyday development. We have no complains at all for the past 14 months attendance. This is absolutely the best daycare center in the capital area!”

“Both of my kids went there, my daughter since she was an infant and my son for 1 yr at 3 yr old.Staff has always been amazing, teachers are caring. You can tell they work very hard to make sure your children are taking care of, even when they struggled to be fully staffed about 2 yrs ago.My daughter had a seizure episode there and could not thank them enough for their fast reaction , professionalism, their kindness and care!”

“I student taught Spring of 2022 here and I have to say this place is amazing. Teachers are good and dedicated and Sherri and Matt are wonderful people. Thanks for everything.”

“I was really anxious about putting my infant in daycare but I’ve been thrilled with Childtime in Latham. The director, Ms.Lisa, is great at keeping parents in the loop and was really accommodating when we needed to switch from part time to full time enrollment . My daughter loved Ms. Shakira and Ms.Danielle. She can be a little tough around strangers but they were great at getting her calmed down after I’d drop her off. Ms. Olivia does all sort of neat activities with her class now that she’s a little older. I love the pictures I get sent over the Brightwheel app. Another plus is that this center has cameras in each room that let you check on you child throughout the day. You can’t sit and stream all day long, it has a time limit of half an hour, but it so nice to peak in on her during the day. The staff here really makes the difference.”
