Miss Wahida was so amazing and we knew our kids were in such good hands and taken care of. Lots of activities and fun packed schedule everyday!

My son attends the smaller satellite location for kids 2 yrs and younger. We love it!…read more Here's what works: First it's a small size group which means the staff to child ratio is good. Staff have been there for years, and you want there to be little staff turn over for consistency. You will get to know your child's teacher. They respond to any concerns, and do so courteously. The owner, Kate, has always been very professional and I really appreciate that. They have a backyard so kids can also be outdoors. While it was hard at first to leave my son, and he cried for about two weeks at drop off (all normal) now when I pick him up there are days he doesn't want to go home because he is having fun!

We moved to the Bayside area when our son was just turning 18 months. As our first child and never…read morehaving put him in any kind of day care before, we were anxious about finding the right place for him. A friend recommended Bayside Bundles of Joy and after meeting with Leidy and having a play date (where you can bring your little one for a few hours to see if it's a good fit), we decided to enroll him there. Leidy and Fatima are amazing; they treat each child like one of their own. My son grew an attachment to both of them that even after he moved on to a regular school setting, he still asks for them. They speak English and Spanish, giving a bi lingual aspect for the children. They have an app for phones where you get updates on how your child's day is going, what they are eating, pics of the day and times of when everything is happening. If anything were to happen (our son not feeling well, possible incidents with other kids), Leidy was prompt in contacting us to let us know. She was open in scheduling times to meet whenever we wanted time for face to face updates and to talk about our son's progress. They make their food fresh daily for the kids (breakfast and lunch). They would do different activities like kiddy work out, planting, sprinklers in nice weather, to mix things up and give the children different experiences. During the summer program, older children get to attend trips outside of the day care. Looking for good home based child care in the area? Try them out and you'll see what I am talking about!

I cannot find the words to express how much I love Bayside Bundles of Joy (BBB). Leidy, Elizabeth,…read moreand Fatima have literally been a Godsend in every sense of the word. I visited what felt like every daycare in Queens. Ones that were highly recommended by friends, or on Yelp. I couldn't find one place I would even consider, and I didn't think I would ever find a place I would be comfortable leaving my son. Then I met Leidy, she is the warmest, most caring person I have ever met. Immediately you can feel how much all the women who work here care for the children. They soothe my son when he is tired, cranky, or sad. They serve home-cooked meals for breakfast and lunch (snacks are also included). This daycare is bright, clean, and inviting. They are extremely hygienic, the staff and children wash their hands several times a day. Every surface that can be sanitized is, on a daily basis. There is an app you can download and they update you all day long on every detail of your child's day. It's amazing. They celebrate all of the major holidays, as well as the children's birthdays. They have a private backyard, weather permitting, the children go out every day. BBB has really become a home away from home for my son, I trust them implicitly. So much so, that now my youngest is also attending. I could go on and on, heaping praise on BBB, but I dont't want to be TOO long winded :-) In summation, I am a picky control freak, and this place makes me so happy. More importantly - my son has been going here for more than a year now, and he absolutely loves it at BBB.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Ms. Sammi and the amazing team at Little Genius. I…read morefirst met Ms. Sammi when I was searching for a 3-K program for my son. We felt incredibly lucky to secure a spot, as Little Genius is such a highly sought-after program--and it truly lived up to its reputation. My son absolutely loved his time there. A few years later, we were fortunate enough to enroll our daughter shortly after she turned one. We had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands under Ms. Sammi's guidance. She has learned so much and genuinely enjoys going to school each day. I always looked forward to the weekly projects she proudly brought home, as well as the festive Christmas performances. Ms. Sammi does an exceptional job communicating with parents, often sharing sweet moments and photos that brighten my day. It's clear how much love, attention, and dedication she and her team give to each child. It's hard to believe that three years have already flown by and that my daughter will soon be graduating. I'm confident she is more than ready for pre-K and will continue to thrive. While it's bittersweet that we won't be seeing the wonderful staff at Little Genius every day, I'm sure we'll stay in touch. We are so grateful for the care, support, and love shown to our children--it truly means everything to our family.

If you are considering about the learning experience in Bayside, you might need to read my…read moreexperience. My daughter went there for pre-K during Sep 2023-June 2024. The school requested $200 for security deposit and key fob deposit ($20/each). I paid $260 in total. After my daughter graduated, I returned the key fobs and asking for refund. The lady who works at the front told me that they will contact me. Long story short it never happened. I went there couple times but they always just ask me to wait. Finally I got a call from Dr. Shell by end of September 2024, instead of letting me know how can I get the money back, she spend the time explaining the problem with the system to me and told me that's why I can't get the money back. I was so confused, if there is a system problem, isn't it your job to fix it? She said she will call me back after two weeks to let me know the results and I never received any call back from them. I tried so many times to call or visit in person. I know $260 is not a big amount but it's my money. I don't understand why is it so difficult to just get my money back. The teachers there are nice but staff are horrible. Especially the Assistant Director. She is very impatient and also full of attitude. There was once that she is kept yelling that I tried to ask her to clam down. Until I said there is a camera you know that right? She finally calm and stop yelling it was happened at the front desk. She was even once hung up the phone on my husband. I don't know if I can get the money back but feel I should share my experience at least, hopefully it won't happen on other people.

The teachers and staff are super friendly, patient and loving. Special thanks to Ms Gloria who is always great at communication of all the needs & concerns we have! We love you, Ms Gloria! They send the pictures and daily reports (with potty time) every day, which is super helpful for first-time parents! And they even helped potty training for the kids (thank god!). During Covid, there are very strict Covid protocols in place (mask mandate, cleaning, no parents at the class room, etc). As someone who is more cautious and still doesn't feel comfortable with indoor dining with mask off, I trust Ms Gloria and teachers at Kiddie since they follow the Covid protocols very well. Now that my kid has graduated from Kiddie, I am planning to send her back during future summer/winter breaks. I will definitely recommend to my family and friends as well!

It will be difficult to see him graduate into Kindergarten but will hold the memories of the positive experience for years to come. Special thanks to Ms. Erica, Ms Bibi and Gloria - Dojo and Coops

But they both are fantastic! I was so worried... sending my baby to Pre-K, but they immediately put my mind at ease and my son learned so much and blossomed amazingly under their loving care and guidance!! There were field trips almost every single month (apple picking, pumpkin picking, shows and performances and local colleges, etc.) and the parents were allowed to go as chaperones, which to me is priceless!!!! We attended through the Universal Pre-K program, but they offer full time nursery/toddler and pre-k classes as well as after school programs, too!!! Highly recommend them!!!
