Schools near Tonawanda, NY

I hear the facility that is extremely clean they take great care of the children and their care as well as tied a stimulate them mentally and educationally.”

“Has been a great fit for our kiddo in the afterschool program. I enjoy the detailed daily reports and pictures of things he did. The staff has been great at answering any questions I have.”

“My daughter started at the learning garden a few months ago. This daycare is wonderful! The teachers in my daughters room are great with the kids. Everyone is so friendly. I love that they are always doing activities and different things with them. I love the updates they give us. My daughter loves going there too, which makes me feel comfortable. They have been a huge help by being consistent with potty training. I'm so glad I found this daycare, best one we have been to by far!”

“After a traumatic event with a different daycare I was really on the fence about getting our son into a new daycare. My emotions were all over and I felt discouraged. I'll never forget the initial tour we had, Miss Kelsey answered all of my questions and reassured me. My son began daycare initially afraid to go but after just a few day he started becoming excited to go. The staff were great with him and he ended up thriving in the environment. I can't say enough good things about Doodle Bugs.My son has since graduated from daycare but now attends vacation and summer clubs.Thank you Doodle Bugs staff for all that you do!-Ashleigh Hankinson”

“My son started at Doodle Bugs 4 months ago. He is my first child so it was difficult to start sending him to day care, but Doodle Bugs made the transition so easy for a first time parent. My son is now 11 months old and smiles and waves whenever we arrive. The teachers take great care of him, while also teaching him new things and working on his development. Within 3 days of him going he sat up on his own and they helped me push him to start eating finger foods and puffs. Highly recommend for any parent! You will feel safe and enjoy seeing the progress your child makes here.”

“They care the children as Parenthood,The teachers always take care of the children so that they can grow up in a healthy mind and in order to adapt to the different society that they live in, they also feed them so that their minds and bodies can grow up in a healthy way.”

“Went here as a kid and now I’m 18 and grown this place gave me the best memories and I loved the staff and made real connections everyone was so caring and we all loved on another I still think of this place everyday !”

“I wouldn’t send my son anywhere else. I really appreciate how kind and caring all of the teachers are. I love the tadpoles app, and being able to check in on the camera throughout the day. The classrooms are nice and clean. And the teachers are always doing a ton of art and sensory stations. Love the playground outside, too!”

“Joining a fitness center can be intimidating if you’re not in the best shape or don’t own the latest brand of activewear. Fortunately, that’s not the case at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Buffalo, which has one of the best gyms in Western New York. By “best,” I mean well-equipped, clean and well-organized, and reassuringly down-to-earth. Established in 1948, the JCC has two locations: the Benderson Family Building, about a 20- minute drive from Buffalo, and the Holland Family Building, a 5-minute drive to downtown.The Holland gym has a combination of cardio machines, including ellipticals, stationary bikes, treadmills, and rowing machines, as well as weight machines and free weights. There are also plenty of classes, though I haven’t taken advantage of one yet.The fitness staff are friendly and there to help and encourage you, not browbeat you. You might also experience a laidback camaraderie with your fellow exercisers—people of various ages and walks of life, sweating side-by-side in unspoken solidarity. Most of us aren’t training for the Olympics—we simply want to reclaim muscle tone, maintain a healthy weight, release stress, and maybe add a few years to our lives.If you want to take care of yourself, I encourage you to try the JCC. And if you’re a parent with young kids, check out the preschool. My daughter went through the preK program, and she thrived. She even learned how to swim in the JCC pool as a toddler.”

“Both myself and my son love Childtime. After negative experiences at another daycare center, I was uneasy to send him to a daycare at all. Childtime has put me at ease and has made me comfortable sending him there all day. They have cameras so you can watch your child at any point while they’re checked in, however, after the first week there I would be confident in sending him here with no live cameras at all. All of the staff is friendly and accommodating. You can tell that everyone that works there, including admin, love what they do and care for each of the children individually. We’re greeted with a smile and by name every day. Each time my son has been home sick, both classroom staff and admin has made it a point to check in on him. Everyone we have encountered and has taken the time and effort to build amazing rapport with both of us. I have referred 2 close friends to Childtime in Williamsville and will continue to do so.”

“Coming from somebody that has actually worked in the childcare field, there’s no other daycare around that I’d feel comfortable with sending my kids to other than Childtime of Buffalo. They provide so many perks to ensure a peace of mind such as the ability to check on your children live whenever you want, daily updates on activities, nap time, eating, diaper changes, communication with the teachers, and more. Also, you can really tell that their entire staff loves what they do. They are so friendly and treat the kids like their own family. My kids love going to daycare. 10/10 recommended.”

“My daughter is in the infant room, and has adjusted so quickly! Her teachers are so sweet and attentive. She is always happy and playing when I pick her up and the communication is great! I like the security and feel of the building. I am very pleased with this daycare. Definitely a great place to send your child.”
