“My kids are so happy and have learned so much during their time at Tiny Tykes. They provide such a wide range of learning activities for the kids. Tiny Tykes is more like a family than a learning center.”

“My daughter started attending this daycare a few weeks ago, and she loves it so far. She comes home smiling every day and talks about various activities she engages in and has already made friends with the other children and talks about the mall the time. The staff is very kind and professional. I would definitely recommend this facility.”

“Kiddie academy is truly professional for the youth education. My child comes home with a big smiley face everyday. The teachers are very caring, loving and patient with the children. The daily circle time is my child’s favorite, which helped to develop her reading habit. Definitely one of the top early educational place to go!”

“So happy we found St Marks Nursery School. My son spent two summers going to camp there and was enrolled in the three and fours program. The teachers and staff are phenomenal. Fun, loving, energetic personalities that keep the kids always wanting to learn. They learn through play, reading, interactive activities and field trips and so much more. There is a music class that they all attend which is amazing, where the kids are so involved and having fun. The playground is a very special place as well. Because it is a co-op, parents are very involved which really gives it that family/community feel. Participations days at the school are a highlight for me. I love being in class with my kids seeing what they do and getting to spend time with them there. We’ve met some amazing friends while at St Marks which was so nice since we were new to the area. My oldest is now in kindergarten and excelling. I know it’s because of the experience he had at St Marks. My daughter is now in the 3s program and thriving and making friends and having a blast. So happy she still has this coming summer and next year so we can continue to be a part of the St Marks family.”

“Patient and cooperative teachers managed by an excellent director Ms. Madhu! We've been sending our son here for over a year now and couldn't be happier :)”

“My son attends UPK at this facility and we could not be more happy with his progress! His classroom and building are warm and inviting. He enjoys playing in the playground each and every day. The staff is amazing and attentive!”

“My 2 girls have been going here for the past year and love it. They love their teachers and all the activities they do with them. One of my girls started kindergarten this year and Ms. Jo & Ms. Johnna prepared her for school. She learned so much in their pre-k program. In the morning the girls were always so excited to go to the school they would forget to give us a hug goodbye. They come home daily with arts and crafts and we love seeing them have fun in pics on their Facebook page.”

“Linda and her team worked worked very hard to accommodate my 1 year old son into their infant program.The school has been a blessing to my family. The Day care has very flexible hours and they allow drop off as early as 7AM and pickup as late as 6PM which is wonderful for working parents, such as myself.The Daycare provides Breakfast, lunch and snacks. The meals are Kosher (we prefer Halal & Kosher food) and are prepared fresh daily.The teachers are amazing! The wonderful teachers really make this place what it is, and my son looks forward to going there every day.Communication is terrific and we are notified of everything. I receive pictures daily of my son participating in various activities. My husband and I have noticed a huge change in his development and the school has helped him achieve all of the important milestones.I cannot recommend this school enough!I am very grateful to Linda and her staff for taking care of my son and for providing him with so much love and care, while he is away from home.”

“I love the Community House. The best kept secret in Forest Hills! We have years and years living in this neighborhood and just found out about the CH ... a friend told me and we became members. I'm so glad to be part of this family ????”

“Excellent service. Very satisfactory and sanitary. Great place to work, highly suggested for students that need tutoring or SAT or SHSAT prep. As a part time employee, the students much enjoyed learning, interacting, and bonding with the tutors and other students as well as the staff.”

“My son Cavani just started the U-Prek program and all I can say is that he LOVESSSS IT!!! Every morning he wakes up with a smile to get ready for school and hates the weekends or days he’s off lol. I’m so glad he’s able to experience new learning, activities and meet new friends. The director Ms. Stephanie is the sweetest. He talks about her and his other teachers all the time. The daily reports on tadpoles is what I look forward to just to see how exciting his day went. Thank you Academic Explorers!!!!”

“After spending the first 15 months at home with baby, the process of finding a great daycare that would met my needs and wants was not an easy task. From the minute we came for a tour, baby was very responsive, walking up to the administrative staff. It was clear my child was very pleased and enjoyed the environment.Having access to the app to see all the pictures that are posted and any questions I may have during the day is also an added benefit. Since starting at the wooden shoe, there is so much noticeable social development that we have witnessed, especially learning. Singing the alphabet , counting and just more socially excited and engaged with people are some of the few benefits of this daycare. Most importantly, from the minute I drop off my child I am not anxious, worried or concerned, because I know they are being properly cared for and loved on. All the teachers know my childs name and are soo kind. Kids want to feel important and have a desire for belonging. I can see by the way my child is excited about daycare from the minute we park the car out front, that they feel the love from everyone there. Every meal, diaper change and naps are tracked in the app, thats some great attention to detail. Even when you are away you can still keep track of what your child is doing in the day, its nice.Some other things I like that are not related to childcare, i really like how responsive the administrative staff is. I can send an email in the morning and get extremely fast responses. As a healthcare professional, I take professionalism extremely seriously, so this is a huge plus. I really like how they present themselves when it comes down to my questions and providing answers. Also, we communicate with the teacher what we are teaching our child at home, and the teacher reinforces that in school and vice versa. Its great all around.Daycare is an investment in your child's future. And this is an investment that we are extremely happy to make. This place is an answered prayer, very grateful to God for everyone at the Wooden Shoe :)”

“Exceptional preschool! My daughter was born during the pandemic and my husband and took care of her while working from home. We did not put her in a daycare, and we had no clue about the 3K program until just before the deadline for applications in 2023. I called this school for a tour and the director and staff patiently addressed all our questions and welcomed our then 3yo and 2yo for a tour. We hoped and prayed our 3yo would get into the 3k program in Fall 2023 and thankfully, she did.

Throughout the year, my daughter’s teachers showed genuine love and care towards her. I never felt like they were there just because it was their job, but I always felt like they truly cared about her. They found ways to always connect with her and with us. This was her first ever school year, her first time to be ever away from home daily under the care of people aside from myself and my husband, and she always felt at home. I never had to worry if she was in good hands because I always felt at ease with the teachers.

The director, assistant director and other staff also knew my daughter by name. They too showed genuine concern for her well-being, and I just couldn’t imagine choosing another school for my girl.

Looking forward to having both my kids in KA Little Neck in Fall 2024!”

“I love this school as well as the teachers and staff at Stepping Stone Pre and Grade School. They know every kid by name as well as the child’s needs, enabling them to provide all that is needed for each child to learn and grow! My daughter currently attends Stepping stone the teachers have been beyond amazing, and passionate about educating the children. They really know what they are doing & are very well trained. The classrooms’ presence is very warm and welcoming while the teachers seem to maintain an encouraging fun vibe so the children seem to have a lot of fun in class and are excited to go to school!”

“Our son has been going to this school since he turned 2 years old. GNCS is a wonderful school with a devoted parent body, a highly experienced teaching staff and a great facility that includes a massive playground and outdoor class room. The school provides a safe and enriched environment for kids to grow, develop and thrive. It is definitely the top choice for daycare school in the Great Neck area. Highly recommended!”

“We’ve had our son since he was almost 6 months old at LightBridge academy.Everyone, from admin staff to the teachers are wonderful with the kids. They’re all treated with love, kindness, and respect. They adhere quite strictly to safety measures and communicate thoroughly throughout the day.My son has been assessed and has been deemed advanced in great part to Lightbrige Academy. He learned ASL (less tantrums- trust me), basic Spanish, letters, numbers, advanced environmental concepts, etc. all years ahead of some of my families other children.My husband and I work full time and our families are very far away, so LightBridge has become our village. One of the best parenting decisions we’ve ever made for our miracle baby.”

“I’ve had the best experience at Ivy prep. My daughter went since she was 8 months and believe me when she left this school she was advanced for kindergarten. The school is clean, the teachers are attentive and loving. The food is well balanced. I was contacted for everything and the learning is phenomenal. I would put my next kid here if I needed to.”

“THE BEST SCHOOL EVER. I CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW GOOD THIS SCHOOL IS. If you’re searching for a good elementary school for your kid/s. This would be the place, this elementary school is so good that if I were give this school higher than 5 stars, I would give them 10. All the staff are so nice and would support your kid through their childhood.”

“Ms. Dina & the staff are incredible to work with. You can feel the school slathered with love and respect. They really meet the child where they are at and find the perfect balance for each child they are given.My son struggled at his last PreK. This school has made a WORLD of difference in our home and our son’s ability to regulate and learn with love and care. Highest respect!”

“We had a wonderful experience at Kiddie Academy of Floral Park. The stuff is wonderful, we loved the facility and the way they communicated with us. Everything was always handled promptly and effectively. Highly recommend this daycare”

“In 2015, Discovering Me welcomed our family, and now after 8 years and 3 children in the program we must sadly say our goodbyes. We feel so grateful to have found this program!Discovering Me provides a child friendly learning environment, with many opportunities for kids to be independent. All three of my children mastered many self help skills needed for everyday tasks, that made my life a whole lot easier. The program maintains positive adult-child relationships, and encourages family engagement. Carol and Laurie prepare monthly newsletters to inform families of the happenings and add friendly reminders. The program follows daily routines, and schedules that helped my children feel safe and secure in knowing what to expect when they arrived at school each day. We always looked at the monthly calendar sent home to see what the themes were each week. My kids loved looking for books or toys related to the theme and on occasion I was convinced to buy clothes to match the theme. My daughter now has a very stylish dinosaur dress.All three of my children were lucky to have Mrs. Christine, and assistant Ms. Dee. She has a great reputation in the community, and she is a passionate teacher that provides a warm and comforting environment. All of my kids LOVED going to school and talk about Mrs. Christine as if she is part of our family.I firmly believe that building an early positive association with learning is essential to our kids' growth. All of my children found a solid beginning at Discovering Me. The graduation ceremony is magnificent. They really do a great job!”

“My daughter attends Jack and Jill Nursery School. She truly enjoys going to school and wishes she could go to school on holidays. The class size is small and the teachers are dedicated. My daughter was able to attend nursery school due to school’s ability maintain health and hygiene standards while ensuring the kids have a ‘normal’ preschool experience. I look forward to another great year at Jack and Jill. I highly recommend this school. A true gem in downtown Flushing!! I truly thank Ms. Steitz for being an excellent administrator!!”
