We have been very happy with our experience at the daycare since 2023. Nicole, the owner, has…read morealways been very accommodating and responsive to our needs, particularly during transitions and scheduling changes. One thing that has stood out to us is the consistency of care throughout the different groups our son has been part of. No matter which classroom he was in, the caregivers knew his name and made him feel welcomed and cared for. They have always been kind and attentive, which has given us a lot of confidence in the care he was receiving. The teachers have also been incredibly patient and supportive as he learned English, especially since we speak Spanish at home. We have really appreciated the care they put into making him feel comfortable while encouraging his development. The activities they plan have also been a highlight, particularly over this past year as they began introducing activities like tracing numbers and letters. It has been great to see the balance between play, learning, and age-appropriate development. The covered indoor playspace has also been a definite highlight of our son's days. Having an indoor playground is a huge plus, especially on the many days when NYC weather doesn't allow for outdoor play. Overall, we have had a very positive experience and have appreciated the kindness, consistency, and care that the entire team has provided over the years.

We appreciate the teachers feedback about how the day went and behaviors. We also feel the administrators are quick to respond to emails and message on the app. The app the day care uses is straight forward and we get frequent updates on meals, bowel movements, and sweet photos from the day. We highly recommend this establishment.

I enrolled my son last September when he was 2 years and 3 months old. Like any parent dropping…read moretheir child off at daycare for the first time, our first drop-off was emotional. 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.

Choosing a daycare for your child is one of the hardest decisions a parent can make, and I can…read morehonestly say enrolling my son at Ms Angie's daycare was one of the best decisions I've made. 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

After googling more local places we read a great review on Google reviews about Sterling Place! We are beyond happy to have found it!!

I found this daycare on the state's OFCS website, via the search function/page (it's under the name…read moreMarie Bellevue; https://ocfs.ny.gov/programs/childcare/looking/ccfs-search.php ). There are two locations; my daughter was at the 115 E 31st Street site, and Ms. Tanya is the on-site operator there. When I called the owner, Marie Bellevue, I felt so comforted, and that she was a kind and caring person. Then I met Ms. Tanya, and immediately felt the love in the daycare. I saw how Ms. Tanya held and nurtured the children, that they were happy and at ease with her and each other, how they embraced and welcomed my daughter who was just visiting without any prompting or encouragement and knew that my daughter would thrive there (the place is also clean and organized, etc.). I too, felt at ease, heard, and respected by Ms. Tanya. My daughter started a few days before she turned 22 months old, rate was $200 per week, they accept payments through Zelle and CashApp, the hours are from 8:00 am - 6:00 pm, parents provided food (daycare provides water and juice), diapers/Pull-Ups, wipes, crib sheet and blanket for their children. Parents can leave their children's strollers, baby carriers and small scooters (and I imagine tricycles/small bikes) there. The entire house is dedicated to the daycare, and the daycare is monitored inside and outside with working security cameras. Ms. Tanya delights in the children and takes excellent care of them. She did not attempt to gaslight me into tolerating mistreatment and neglect of my child because "things happen in daycare" and "it's daycare, not babysitting or nanny service". At all times I picked up my daughter, she was clean, her clothes, hair and accessories were intact, she was happy to see me and loved her teacher, she was fed and not ravenous when she returned home and was excited to show me what she learned. When my daughter left, Ms. Tanya was teaching the children Spanish. My Shepherd Daycare is a comforting, nurturing, educational, and safe environment for young children to learn and have fun. I cannot thank Marie Bellevue and Ms. Tanya enough for their empathy, loving care, kindness, consideration, and the invaluable peace of mind they provided my child and me. While I was at work, my mind was at ease because I knew that my daughter was in a safe place, learning and having fun with her peers. If this daycare opened at 7:00 am my daughter would still be there; my daughter had to leave only because a change in my work schedule required that I find a daycare with an earlier start time. We love this daycare so much; I highly recommend My Shepherd Group Family Daycare to everyone I know who is searching for childcare.

Man, sending your kid to be taken care of by strangers can be tough…read more I was fully prepared to hate every daycare we toured and subsequently convince my wife that I should quit my job and take care of our little girl full time, because no one was good enough to do the job.* But we loved Changing Tomorrow as soon as we walked inside. The location may not be ideal (for us or in general - it's located in a construction-clogged area of Downtown Brooklyn), but the facilities are excellent, and the people are wonderful. It is brand new, clean, and very well run. It's as if they took stock of the bougie parents in the neighborhood, and decided to create a daycare that offered everything they might want: Flexible schedules and long hours (open 7 am to 7 pm). Nurse on site at all times. Organic food catered for the kids (after they turn 1). Montessori methods that focus on the cognitive, social, and emotional development of your kid. Frequent activities like dance, soccer, finger-painting, and trips to the park when it's nice out. Best of all, they have monthly meetings where they take suggestions for what the parents would like to see from the school, and they actually try and implement those suggestions where it makes sense. (I wish those meetings weren't at 7 am, but I suppose getting up early is part of being a parent.) We're only a couple of weeks in at this point, but so far I have to say that the staff is just amazing. They put up with the minute and specific instructions we (and I imagine all parents) throw at them on a daily basis, and they are shockingly on top of the Brightwheel app that they use to keep us updated on our child throughout the day. Yesterday I got over a dozen photos and videos of my daughter, plus updates on her naps, feedings, diaper changes, and more. My kid still cries every time I drop her off, but it's really gratifying to see a smiling photo of her just a little bit later so I know she isn't crying all day. A huge thank you to Meridith the Education Director, Ms. Victoria, Ms. Janiece, Ms. Maria, and all the other wonderful people that work here. I'm constantly surprised that the teachers in the other age groups (that don't spend the day caring for her) recognize my daughter on sight when we walk in the door; it makes the place feel a lot more like a family. Thank you all for taking care of our daughter; I know it isn't easy, and we really appreciate how much you care. It makes it a little bit easier to leave her with you. ____________ *And also because I'm a progressive man that knows my wife can handle the breadwinning duties in this modern world. Definitely not because I'm tired of working and need to be supported in this lifestyle to which I've become accustomed.

Enrolling our daughter in Changing Tomorrow Academy was one of the best decisions we ever made…read more We had originally planned to send her to a daycare just around the corner, but when that fell through were in a desperate situation. Amanda was so wonderful and found a place for us at very short notice. We weren't expecting much -- we were just happy to have found somewhere so quickly -- but our daughter flourished and thrived under their care. Amanda was extremely communicative and seemed to know everything about how our child was developing. She is so great with the children and just an extremely positive force to be around. We never worried for a second when our daughter was there. The teachers were wonderful at helping her adapt to her first daycare, and then helping her transition to the toddler class. We got regular updates and photographs throughout the day that regularly made us laugh. They came up with really great ideas for activities. They calmed us when we were worried and gave us tips to help her along. The facilities here are amazing, but the staff are what makes it great. We HIGHLY recommend Changing Tomorrow Academy and will be eternally grateful for how they took care of our little one.

Vivvi is the new management for the preschool formerly run by Trinity Church, but the team and…read morefacility are basically the same. It's the best daycare in Tribeca, and we joined after leaving another which was just fine but not great. Our older daughter started at Trinity/Vivvi in 2018 and now our younger daughter is there in the infants class. The teachers and administrators are the most considerate and thoughtful, and the facility is laid out for a child-led, montessori type experience. The best thing about Vivvi/Trinity is that there's a healthy balance between focusing on the needs of working parents and centering a rich, engaging experience for the kids. For your child, you want a clear lesson plan with good structure and lots of play, and as a parent, you want flexible hours and good communication. Other daycares in the neighborhood have more one or the other, but here you get both. This isn't to say that there are little hiccups; there are little things everywhere. But our teachers run their own classrooms and have things like the health insurance that are not common in other early child education. You can feel the difference. Our ladies have been happy going to school and coming home every day, and if they are happy, we're happy. Thank you Leigh, Ben, and all our teachers!

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!
