It's hard to even get a director to look your way to greet you, but they sure are willing to talk about payments due! That is literally the only time they fake nice. This one director (or assistant), Jessica, is always loudly gossiping at the end of the day. Unprofessional as parents are walking by. Some other director Briana was also extremely condescending and rude on the phone. The place just has a chaotic and heavy energy. Avoid.

She would call me stupid and ugly all time time. There was a LOT of public shaming and yelling this woman is pure evil. I wasn't 100% perfect potty trained at that age and had an accident in the bathroom, and she got so angry I was scared to admit it was me. She forced another child, whose name I remember very clearly because she would abuse him and cause him to cry ALL the time, to clean it up. Sad to hear she's still kicking and In business and abusing children still. An investigation needs to be done on her. Unless you want your kid to be traumatized for the rest of their life and responsible for years worth of therapy do not send them here. Also the classroom has not changed at all in 23 years. The cubbies in the back would fall right on top of the kids they are not secured. They do not care about anything, minimal effort on all fronts when providing for children

The directors love my children, the teachers love my children, and I trust that they are happy and safe there. I love that there is a curriculum, each week is a different theme. They learn Spanish and do yoga and exercise and learn the basics like letters, numbers, writing, etc. I love that there are cameras and you can watch what is going on throughout the day. Every teacher knows the children's names even if they aren't in that teacher's class. They take any concerns seriously. The facility is clean and neat and welcoming. No daycare is perfect, I assure you, but Lightbridge is perfect for us and I'm more than happy with the care my children are getting there.

Here are some of the highlights: - Cameras that you can watch all day to see your little one - Teachers and managers are amazing!!! - They read/sing to them and teach them new skills each day - group and individual play so she has learned to play by herself as well as with other babies. So cute. Our little one smiles when we pull into the parking lot ( as seen in picture) and that tells us everything! Thank you for making our 9 month old so happy.

To Melissa M: You have no idea what you are talking about. You were not there while my children…read morewere attending Tutor Time and what a terrible experience was for them. Did you even see what occurred when they were there? Were you in the room when the experiences I related happened? Were you privy to the phone calls and messages I received from Tutor Time? No. So you have no right to say I'm making stuff up and call me a liar. Alison and Danielle may be nice to you but they were not to my youngest son. They were very rude and nasty to him and couldn't wait to throw him out. They treated him like absolute dirt. One other thing that I didn't put in my first review is that I called my school district about what to do about my son and his situation at Tutor Time. When one of the directors who has a PhD in education found out that my son was attending Tutor Time of Massapequa, she said "I've had this conversation with them before. Their methods are terrible. The teachers have no training whatsoever. Their only response to when a child doesn't behave is to isolate the child and eventually try to get rid of the child which causes much more harm than good." So it's not just me. Tutor Time has a bad reputation with my school district and they have a low opinion of Tutor Time's methods. Don't tell people to ignore my review because it is a 100% accurate reflection of my children's experiences there and people should know that it isn't the happy, sunny place you insist it is.

Signing our daughter up for tutor time is the best thing we have done for her, and us! We are able…read moreto dedicate our time to our jobs knowing she is in good hands and is safe and having a great time. We love all the staff at Tutor Time and the teachers our amazing. Our daughter has learned so much and it is overwhelmingly noticable how much of a positive impact tutor time has had on her. She is smart and super social. We have met so many amazing parents as well and she has so many friends! The leadership at tutor time is filled with excellent people, they host fun events, have excellent communication with parents and build great relationships with everyone. I recommend Tutor Time to everyone i know. Edited after reading below reviews. In response to the negative review below - This is unbelievably inaccurate and is not at all a representation of Tutor Time. This has not been my experience in the 2+ years my daughter has been there and we have had nothing but positive experiences always. My daughter has a huge personality, super sassy and energetic. She is loved by everyone, the second she walks in the door she is getting hugs from everyone, past teachers come to see her in her class room and we even get to see some of the staff outside of TT bc they love her so much. Big personalities and lots of energy grow and prosper there and to say they are unwanted is very much untrue. Cleanliness is important to them, especially with covid and they are constantly taking the necessary precautions to keep the kids safe. I watch the cameras and they have very specific cleaning routines. My daughter has come home sick only once, for high fever - and she got it from her cousin not from the school. When they called me I was 45 minutes away and it was no problem at all, they were super sweet and took care of her until I could get there. The academic program is great - my daughter comes home every day learning new things. She soaks it up like a sponge and I love how many things they do every single day. There is always reading, writing, math, science - it blew my mind when she started how much she was actually learning. I thought they would spend most of their time playing but they fit in so much! For example just today they did days of the week, months of the year, weather, a fire drill sequence, a science experiment, learned about the ecosystem and counting. To say there is little to no academic instruction is insane and bizarre to me. Lastly, Allison and Danielle are amazing. They are incredibly sweet and love on my kid so much - and we don't have to "suck up" to get that kind of attention. They answer all my emails right away and are always so kind and helpful. They plan the most fun things for the kids and are always trying to do the best for them. I often get to the school early bc my job is so far away and if our daughters teacher isn't on site yet Danielle lets her hangout in her office with her, which is her favorite thing to do in the mornings! Allison sends me cute pics of our girl during the day when she can. They are just the best duo and we are so lucky our kid is in their hands. If you are considering tutor time I would not take that review very seriously.

My child was ABUSED at Tutor Time and we are still waiting on the video even​ though we were told…read morethere was a 48-hour turn around time. Let's start at the beginning, the tour. The director Christina should win an Oscar for her acting skills. She will promise you the world and pretend that she cares about your child. We wanted a daycare closer to home so we decided to switch our child over to Tutor Time. Once your child is enrolled, you actually see the horrific practices of this establishment. There is absolutely​ no structure. Children do whatever they want. There is always a different adult in the room. Additionally, they are not compliant with the state laws, which requires 1 teacher for every 5 toddlers. My child was often in a room with 7 other children and 1 unfamiliar face. As previous reviews mentioned, this is a puppy mill that only wants your money. During an 8 hour day, my child's diaper was only changed twice. State law requires that diapers be changed every 2 hours. One of the many teachers​ we saw often spoke down to the children, "you guys are three and you don't know how to place your hands on the wall?" We often walked past the infant room in the afternoon and saw babies crying hysterically because no one was paying attention to them. One day, another baby was biting the edge of a bookshelf as she was teething. No one stopped her from biting the bookshelf and its varnish coating. My maternal instinct knew something was wrong but I just needed my little one to last a few weeks until June. I asked my brother to pick up my little one from Tutor Time because I was going to be at work past my regular schedule. My brother and his girlfriend went in before my usual pick up time and upon walking to the classroom they saw the teacher, Janet, DRAGGING MY CHILD BY ONE ARM ACROSS 5 FEET OF CARPET. THIS DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING ATTEMPTED TO PICK UP MY CHILD BY ONE ARM AND DROPPED HIM. My brother immediately​ told the director, who did not remove Janet from the classroom for another two hours. Christina, the director, was suddenly worried about ratio issues. Compliance is never a concern for them but that day it was. Furthermore, Christina forced herself to cry, in an attempt to show empathy. We were promised the video evidence within 48 hours. We are way past the 48-hour deadline and still waiting for answers. Run far away from this place. I would never want this to happen to any other child.

Terrible daycare. Great hours. One doesn't make up for the other…read more My daughter was bullied. And they said, "kids are mean sometimes". My son was neglected. Apparently he was allowed to roam freely, and not made to participate in activities. They're in 2 different age groups. The kids are basically shoved into a classroom and may go outside for 20 minutes a day (unless outside time is canceled due to cold weather, or hot weather, or weather in general). DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN THERE. They are, like others have stated, the puppy mill of daycares.

My daughter is very fortunate to begin her educational life with such an extraordinary school, having especially the Director Manjula W. and the excellent team of teachers to guide her on her path to success and excellence.

Worst place ever. Never trust your child here. Where should I start? It's dirty. Beyond…read moredirty. When dropping off my daughter, there were two "teachers" watching 40 kids who were not paying attention at all. I witnessed two boys get on a tricycle, pile 2 more boys on the back and slam into another tricycle filled with boys. Boys all fell off, thought it was hilarious and kept going. Not one "teacher" said anything. It was appalling. Funnily enough, another parent walked in to drop her daughter off and was asking about a bruise her daughter came home with. The"teacher" of course denied anything. The main Montessori teacher does not teach the Montessori method! I couldnt leave my daughter there since I couldnt trust hem so I watched quite a bit and he teaching is terrible. They fed my vegetarian daughter turkey at their thanksgiving feast and then had the audacity to tell me that I should've been there to watch her if it was so important. If I could be there, I wouldn't need child care for her. I can go on and on and have warned countless people about this place, filed a report with NYS. Just stay away.

I am deeply grateful that Taj's experience at Westbury Friends School, where he has been since age three, has exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, WFS has seen Taj's light and encouraged it to shine even brighter. Westbury Friends School is a wonderful Quaker school--a true gem in Westbury. It has nurtured both of my sons: Amir, who began in 2017, and Taj, who joined in 2023. The school has surpassed our hopes in every way we value. WFS provides a loving, supportive, and encouraging environment that fosters a genuine love of learning. It is a place where curiosity is welcomed, where children feel safe to stretch their bodies, ask questions, explore ideas, and grow confidently into themselves. The campus, playground, gym, and learning spaces are exceptional. My children never want to leave--whether they are playing outside, exploring the gym, or engaging in hands-on activities in their classrooms. WFS feels cozy and warm, and the children feel truly at home there. They love their teachers and the Head of School, whose leadership sets a compassionate and joyful tone that radiates throughout the community. What I value most is that learning at WFS extends far beyond ABCs and 123s. My sons are learning how to interact with others, how to be part of a community, and how to embody courage, kindness, and open-mindedness. We have watched both boys thrive not only academically but also as thoughtful, empathetic, and grounded young people. That holistic growth is the greatest gift a school can give a child--and WFS provides it every day.

There were definitely some bumps in the road as this is my first child and first experience with daycare/ school. All the teachers know my son and are available to answer questions whenever needed. I may not like the answers but they try their best. In the beginning it was rough because my son cried everyday while drop off but it got better with time and I'm happy to say that he's enjoys his time there. Due to Covid parents aren't allowed to go in to the class to drop off and I'd have to say that was the hardest part. They have all kinds of activities such as water play, bounce house, and petting zoo, it's nice that the children get to enjoy all these various activities. Overall it's been a good experience this far.
