Both of our children have been at Eladia's since their infancy, and my oldest is currently in their 3K Pro gram. We were at the Cobble Hill location until this year, and we are so grateful for the care our daughters receive. Teachers and owners truly treat our children like family, and as an educator myself I can say that their teaching is top notch. We know that our children are safe, loved, and learning all day at Eladia's! read more

I had my son there for a year. Turnover was crazy with the workers and at some point I didn't even know the name of the person taking care of him read more

I worked at the location on Washington. I actually loved it there. It was close to home and I enjoyed to see the little ones faces everyday and in engaging in their lives. But I recently received news that a girl was fired from there. The same girl they wanted to keep over me. Same girl who be in her phone and falling asleep. I'm not here to talk bad on anyone but I tried to explain to eladia that I should still be working. They tried to say I was having T&A issues. Maybe in the beginning but I bust my behind getting up early to take my son to school and I would arrive before my start time. I've missed doctors appointments because they would say oh we need all staff here or we are neglecting the children. My attendance had improved tremendously. But God doesn't like ugly and karma is real. Not wishing bad on anyone but one location is pending and might close. The turnover at the job is crazy right now. Should've kept me cause I was doing the most and going far and beyond but I'm like that at every job I enjoy. But I'm upset because what about the family engagement and transitioning. So not only did you get rid of a teacher who's been at that location for years Ms.Lily. Then you sent another to Flatbush. You hired me. And brought another person along from a different location to help at Washington. Yea thank you cause we did need the help. But now September around the corner and then kids are not going to see familiar faces. I just hope they adapt well to the transition. For I really do miss those kids. I mean I did extra. Asked parents what language they speak at home to meet and greet in the am I'm their language. Sanitizing toys about 2-3x times a day. Actually interact with the kids. They got rid of a very good worker and I just hope they realize that. It's a great school but they don't care about their workers. I wanted to work one day but had to leave early I had my son home cause he had a fever. I still came to work and had to leave early cause the person had to leave for work. She did me a favor by watching him for the 3-5 hours however long I worked. They gone tell me that's not emergency. So my son suppose to sit in the house by himself ? I was confused. This from the same lady who said oh as far as the parents go. We don't gossip so we will tell them you left the job to care for my son and find a different career come fall when lord knows my heart and body wanted nothing to do but be there with them kids. I feel like I could've been a great asset to them and being apart of the team. I was even told from one of them they see I do the most active play with the children that's why they like me so like why am I fired. Oh yeah because a whole lot was going on that week and the boss got screamed on. But they love their workers who been there 5-14 years plus. So I can't argue with that and I don't wish anyone to lose a job. But things have been happening that week and I feel like she couldn't take the pressure. I was already laid off but was lied to about my start date so when I went to go ask questions she said I confronted her -_- really Eladia ! Ok. I didn't even scream at her but people be having whole screaming matches with her in the office. She fired me out of emotion and I don't appreciate that. All I wanted to do was talk and she didn't want to give me that. It's because they knew they lied to me and was in the wrong. And peel the image. She wasn't even trying to give me a copy of my receipt to get another job. Made me wait over 48 hours like wow. read more

Eladia's Kids - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Sometimes you don't know how good you've got it until it's gone. After many years in NYC, but just 6 months with Eladia's Kids, we left the city for a greater work/life balance, but what we left behind was excellent child care. I realize now that Eladia's Kids is a rare gem in the child care industry. While expensive, it is worth every penny. Eladia runs a very tight ship and it shows in every detail. The teachers are loving, disciplined, and communicative. I can't say enough positive things about Miss Peggy, who works closely with her mother Eladia, Miss Sharifa and Miss Vanessa who take care of the newborns and infants. It was clear from day 1 that they were great at their jobs and cared a great deal for our son. And our son was happy every day he was there. The children aren't over-programmed, but they are engaged in fun, educational activities every day and are kept on a schedule that helps them and makes life easier for parents on the weekends if you stick to it. The facilities are stimulating but even more importantly, they are clean, clean, clean!!! The environment is safe, the door is always locked and people aren't let in unless they know you. I strongly recommend any organization run by Eladia and her family. We miss you more than you can imagine. George's parents. read more

Not only are my husband and I huge fans of Eladia's Kids, but my son (more importantly) couldn't be happier there. Sadly, we have to pull him out to move across the country after only a year of attendance, but the way that he has blossomed socially and intellectually within that year is incredible. Eladia and her amazing team of teachers put education first, and have a well thought out curriculum for their kids. My son is almost three and already knows what a hexagon and trapezoid are. Her can count to 50 (with assistance), recognizes his name, and knows his ABCs. He went into Eladia's a shy boy and is coming out an articulate, outgoing little guy who can speak full sentences and is excellent at showing his emotion. Eladia's is small, so your child will get excellent 1:1 attention. They helped prep our son for not only our move, but also the arrival of his twin sisters through stories and circle time, both of which he is handling very well. The staff is friendly, personable, and up front. They are there to teach and guide your child, which is very clear in their daily reports. Their facility is clean, the kids are happy. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend Eladia's. Even if your child came from just being with a nanny (as ours did) they are very accommodating. read more

I put my son into Eladia's at three months old until almost three when I needed to move. At Eladia's, he received a great deal of love and attention. I was utterly confident in their ability to care for him. It's a unique experience because it truly is like a school. His development and skills grew by leaps and bounds. It was such a treasure that he knew concepts, words, letters, and many things he never learned from us. Every day they get a different lesson and structure. Some days he'd raise chickens from eggs, release butterflies, make pretend passports, and a variety of hands-on learning. I'm so glad that during the critical years of his development, he had the opportunity to get such a head start. Many parents that have a nanny will still bring their children to Eladia's too because of the education they receive. The other parent's that choose Eladia's are also enjoyable, and unlike some places, they aren't abrasive. It's a great community you get to join at Eladia's, and you're probably wondering if it's worth the money. It's a significant expense. It's some people's rent. I can assure you it's worth it, make the sacrifice for your family, budget, save, get this advantage for your child. The few years you'll pay for this will put your child's life on a firm footing. You will never have this chance to accelerate your child's intellect again. read more

Our son has attended two locations at Eladia's since he was 1 and a half (the 5th Avenue location in Park Slope and the Flatbush location in Prospect Heights). Both locations provided excellent care and a high level of education for our son. We never felt like he was in nursery school or day-care because the teachers and staff really do treat their work as serious educators and educate, educate, educate. They focus on character building, manners, overall social skills, arts, reading, math, science, music and much, much more. Our son is now 4 and a half and will be off to a new school for Pre-K in the fall. He is eager to go to his new school because he feels prepared and is not shy about meeting new kids or new teachers because he has been so well formed and prepared at Eladia's. We were recently away on vacation in Canada and a friend played with our son and they worked on letters and our friend told us how "impressed" she was at his level of writing skills at his age and told us that her niece who is the same age was nowhere close to where our son is at in terms of such skills. On our last day of school at Eladia's this summer, some teachers held back tears saying good bye to the kids and parents who will be moving on to the next step in their education. That is the level of attention and love that they have for the kids they teach. My husband and I highly recommend Eladia's for parents that want their children to start receiving a well-rounded and serious education from the beginning and are not only looking for a day care. Eladia's really does prepare the little ones for pre-k, kindergarten and first grade. Also our son made friends there that we will keep for a lifetime. All the kids that were at Eladia's with our son are nice, fun and well balanced because in large part of the thriving and enriching environment that Eladia's creates for children to grow and learn in a very well rounded way focusing on all aspects of social and education skills. read more

I am so happy I found Eladia's Kids for my then 2 now 3 year old. I can't say enough good things about the school. You can tell they really care about the children, from the owner to the teachers and support staff. My little girl needed a little extra attention and really blossomed under their guidance. She talks about her teacher and friends at school all the time, along with the fun things she did (art is her favorite.) The days are carefully structured with activities and learning. The teachers are wonderful and attentive (they all know my daughter's name even if she's not in their class.) It feels like a family atmosphere, so much so that they go out of their way to say hello/play with her baby sister during drop off and pick up. The school and students are ethnically diverse and they teach inclusivity in their lessons. The owner is often on site interacting with the children and catching up with parents. This is a well rounded, well run school that will treat your child as their own. read more
