Both of my daughters were at Little Jewel, one from 1.5-3 years old and the other from 4 months-3 years old. To reiterate what some of the other reviewers said, Little Jewel helped us through several milestones in our kids' development including potty training, which was huge. My kids learned Spanish, their letters and numbers, and how to play/socialize with others. They also formed strong emotional ties with the caretakers, so we were sad when we had to leave for 3K. I highly recommend Little Jewel!!!

We considered a few daycare centers during our recent move to Inwood, and chose Little Jewel…read morebecause its proprietor, Cindy, was so warm and friendly and just gave me a really good feeling. She started the place after being dissatisfied with options for her own child, who is now an amazing and adorable precocious and sweet 3yo who helps her mom acclimate new babies - and their parents. Clearly Cindy's doing something right as a mom, and that spills over into her business as well. Her staff also seemed really vibrant and caring during that first visit, as they engaged the kids in yoga poses, dances, and magic tricks. They have proven to be phenomenal - totally loving and attentive, with an inexhaustible energy and patience. The infants and toddlers spend most of the time in separate areas, but there is still a lot of interaction, including outdoors, and all of the staff seem to know my son really well. If he's upset when I start to leave him at morning drop-off, they know exactly which toy to pull out to make him smile. Like most daycares in the area, Little Jewel is located in a converted one-bedroom apartment. But it doesn't feel as claustrophobic as some of the other ones I visited. It feels spacious and airy, with lots of nice, sturdy, wooden furniture; natural toys; and cute decor. They provide a small breakfast, lunch and snacks, and I suspect the hot lunch is probably the best meal our little one eats each day. And they have been willing to accommodate our little vegetarian. Our previous daycare was large and structured, almost like a school, with set schedules and weekly lesson plans, so I was a little apprehensive about the more laid-back routine at Little Jewel. They do have plenty of activities, they're just not documented to every detail, and they may change them up depending on the weather that day, or the children's individual interests. I do get the feeling my 2yo is learning a lot and his language skills (including Spanish - hooray!) and imaginative play have skyrocketed. He's also gaining lots of independence, as he helps in the kitchen and with clean-up, etc. I appreciate the individual attention he gets, and the love that is clearly lavished upon him - including a line-up for kisses as he leaves almost every day. I've recommended it to several other parents, and they all seem equally satisfied.

My son is 2 yrs old and a handful, he is not potty trained yet, but I felt like I will be putting him in very capable hands in this daycare. They have ample playing space and many exciting options, my son particularly liked the painting and the books they have. I work in the city where the daycare from my work(bright horizons) costs like $1500 after employee discount and based on income, therefore I like little scholars so much more due to their cost effectiveness. I will definitely recommend this daycare. I got a very warm and positive vibe from the management and look forward to sending my son here!

We toured Little Daydreamers 2 (LDD2) on the day before our son was born. We were so impressed by…read morethe warmth and professionalism shown by Brenda, Kexia and their team that we put down our deposit right away. In fact, we often say that choosing LDD2 was our first big decision as parents -- and we could not have been happier with how the experience has turned out. LDD2 provided a safe, welcoming, healthy and nurturing environment for our son and we fully recommend this daycare to any parent in the area. Care: Since our son's very first day at LDD2 when he was 5 months old, Brenda, Kexia and the team have felt like an extension of our own family. In particular, we would like to thank Kexia, Site Director and Ydalia for their help and support during our time at LDD2. They are truly gifted caregivers and we feel blessed that they were among the first and most frequent caregivers for our child in his first two years. Communication: The team at LDD2 provides very clear and frequent communications throughout the day through an app and there's a live camera feed. We always felt up-to-date throughout the day and the staff always gave us a review of the day when we picked up our son. This communication really helped us as new parents -- we always knew if he had a good nap, had eaten well, when his diaper was changed and all the other little details new parents want to hear about. Organization/Professionalism: As the team director, Brenda was an excellent partner to us as parents. Billing was simple and efficient, and updates about staffing, COVID protocols and other topics were always communicated to us clearly and with plenty of notice. Brenda genuinely strives to run the best daycare center in the area. Our son was at LDD2 through all the various waves of COVID (and subsequent waves of RSV and other viruses as the world reopened!) and Brenda and Kexia's commitment to run a healthy daycare was fantastic and far exceeded what we have heard is the norm at other daycares. All to say, we are very grateful to the LDD2 team and recommend them wholeheartedly.

When we moved to the neighborhood, we did a deep dive into daycare options. Daddy's stood out because of the years of excellent reviews. We ended up sending two kids to three different Daddy's locations. The heart of Daddy's Daycare is a warm, positive culture, and excellent caregivers. We found the caregivers to be exceptional and appreciated that they stayed long-term, providing consistency and reliability. Every day, they sent photos and videos capturing all the things our kids were doing. These have been keepsakes for us that we treasure and enjoy even today. Beyond the regular activities, Daddy's also offered a schedule of "enrichments". The music teacher was incredible and we always eagerly awaited the videos on music day. All the locations we attended had wonderful outdoor spaces and the kids got lots of outdoor time. Finally, the owner, Vadim, is super responsive and has set things up to be super easy - they are open year-round (with the standard federal holidays off, etc). And they provide snacks and home-cooked meals! What more could you want?

We were also all tears last week when he had his last day of daycare (starting 3k in Fall) because we knew how much he was going to miss the staff (Shelly and Yanet especially) and all his friends. He has grown so much over the last two years and his experience has been nothing but joyous. He loved marching into daycare each day and it was clear that he learned a lot and that they really cared for him. Home Sweet Home daycare switched midway through our time there to using an app called brightwheel which made communication and payments easy. We were also able to see almost daily pictures of what our son was up to on their Instagram. They accommodated every request we had and we are sincerely grateful for the experience we had with them. I highly recommend them as a daycare.

Ms. Angie kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind and reassured me that he was in great hands. At the time, my son had a slight speech delay. Within just two weeks of starting at Ms. Angie's DayCare, he was coming home with new words every day. He went from saying one or two words to speaking in full sentences. Not only did his speech and language improve tremendously, but he also learned Spanish, which was a huge bonus for our family! Ms. Angie's DayCare offers so many fun and engaging activities, including yoga, music, and arts and crafts. When the weather is nice, the children go on community walks and enjoy trips to the park, which my son absolutely loved. I highly recommend Ms. Angie's DayCare to any parent looking for a caring, nurturing, and enriching environment for their child. Ms. Angie, Ms. Maria, and Ms. Marisol; thank you for everything you do for the children each and every day. Your kindness, patience, and dedication truly make a difference, and we are so grateful for the love and care you've shown our son.

From the very beginning, the staff welcomed my son with open arms and made him feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. As a mother, there is no greater comfort than knowing your child is being cared for by people who genuinely love what they do, and that is exactly what I found here. The growth I have seen in my son during his time at this daycare has been incredible. He has learned so much academically, socially, and emotionally. Every day he came home with new skills, new stories, and a smile on his face. It quickly became a place he looked forward to going, and that speaks volumes about the environment the staff has created. The teachers and caregivers have always been kind, patient, communicative, and attentive. They truly treat the children as if they were their own. The love, dedication, and hard work they put into caring for each child does not go unnoticed. Although we are moving on due to financial circumstances, leaving is bittersweet because this daycare has meant so much to our family. My son has made wonderful memories here, and I will always be grateful for the role the staff played in his early childhood development. Thank you all for everything you've done for Rayan and for being such an important part of our journey. We will always look back on our time here with gratitude and fond memories. -- Chanel & Rayan
