Do your research if you want structured and trained staff don't go here. I deeply disappointed with…read morethe experience at this school. Rather than fostering a supportive and structured learning environment, there appears to be a lack of proper training and consistency in how staff handle children who may need additional patience or guidance. Instead of using constructive strategies to help a child succeed, the approach often feels focused on labeling behaviors rather than understanding and addressing the root cause. Every child learns differently, and those who may need a bit more grace and individualized support should be met with encouragement--not repeated negative feedback. Additionally, the environment feels more like an observational or reactive setting than a well-structured program designed to support development. There is a noticeable gap in proactive planning, behavioral support techniques, and clear communication with parents. Families trust schools to provide not just education, but also care, structure, and the tools for children to thrive. Unfortunately, this experience has not reflected those expectations. I strongly encourage the school to invest in staff training, implement more supportive behavioral strategies, and create a more inclusive, structured environment where all children are given the opportunity to succeed.

I have 2 children (3) in preschool full time only needed children for school breaks and a (2) year old. I specifically told her my 3 year old has autism, she said it would be fine he can attend. On his first day I dropped him off at 9:15am at around 12:15Pm I got a call saying I had to come pick him up. When I got there NO ONE explained nothing to me She was quiet so were her two staff. All my son's belongings were packed. I asked for an explanation she said he hit and bite the staff and children. (My son has never bit anyone) 2 days later I get a TEXT saying my 3 year could no longer attend. Also my 2 year old who NEVER ATTENDED can not go to her daycare because he was too much, MIND YOU HE NEVER ATTENDED! she stated my children needed aids with them.

This place was a legitimate nightmare. I'm copying the letter I sent to the CFO below since it's…read morerelevant to anyone considering the school. I removed names and just included their titles. I received no response from the CFO (not even a denial of the request), which I think is telling. xxx Dear Mr. CFO, My infant daughter attended Explore & Discover from September - December 2018, at which point we pulled her from the program. I have dreaded writing this email because retelling this experience sickens me as a parent. I want to be clear that our early termination was forced based on the improper conduct of your staff. I am writing to request a refund of our $X,XXX deposit. My daughter had a tough experience at E&D. I was told at every pickup she was refusing to eat and yet the head teacher denied my request to come in and nurse her for meals (which is counter to what your Handbook encourages). I was also told at every pick up that my daughter was inconsolable and spent the day crying by the door, yet Head Teacher also denied my requests on 10/4/18 and 12/4/18 to come in to the classroom to help ease her comfort. Her responses ranged from "no" to "absolutely not". She denied me access even after I communicated that the director had agreed it was a reasonable request. As you know, this denial of access to my child violates Article 47 of the New York City Health Code as well as the New York State Day Care regulations. Frustrated by feedback that my daughter's distress was continuing (and having seen an increase in her anxiety at home - tantrums, hitting), I spoke to Head Teacher on 12/11/18 requesting classroom access again. She angrily responded that: - I had no right to enter the classroom - My daughter's poor transition to daycare was my fault due to my lack of scheduling, consistency, etc - My daughter likely wasn't a good fit for daycare - She could only offer my daughter so much comfort, she had other babies to take care of After this conversation, I reached out to Director and asked if we could have a joint meeting with Head Teacher. This was the third time I had approached Director about being denied entry to the classroom. I was told she had already spoken with Head Teacher and based on how well my daughter was doing, they no longer believed we had a problem and I would no longer need to sit in with the class. I found Head Teacher's report of my daughter's sudden turnaround alarming, given that it opposed what she had communicated to me earlier that day. Given Director's acceptance of Head Teacher's account, I could no longer trust my daughter's safety in the hands of your staff. As I explained to both the Director and GM, this is not an early cancelation as I attempted numerous times to make this situation work. I do not expect to be penalized for the bad behavior of your teaching staff and hope that you will agree to issue a full refund of our $X,XXX deposit.

After reading all these wonderful reviews from other parents we were really considering going to…read morethis school. However, after today we will seek else where. I happened to be at the park today wa group of kids from the school also happened to be at the park playing. Please take a look at the photos. Ever since they got there, one of the teacher or maybe TA sat on the bench the entire time, and was on her phone constantly, even with headphones on! Really? The only time I heard her discipline the group of students was when she literally yelled across the park...she didn't even bother walking over to them. If she's a head teacher for the classroom, I didn't know head teachers can relax during open door play time...that's a first for me. A little while after, I caught the other two teachers were also surfing on their phones....I was really surprised to see all three of them were busy looking at their phones. Considering this school is one of the most expensive school in the area I would think they have the best teachers...well...boy was I wrong. Another school also happened to be at the park too, and those kids were much older however they each had an adult with them and they were extremely engaging with the kids. Don't believe me? See for your self. A month ago, the owner did reach out to me and to let me know that the teachers in the photos will not be returning to work, however...I still see one of the teachers in the pic at the school yard just a week ago...On the other hand, I'm sure this was a wake up call for all the teachers there to make sure to leave their phones behind while at work. Either way, my son will not be coming to this school.

Every teacher knows every child by name, regardless of age or class, which creates a deeply comforting, close‑knit environment. We toured about seven different daycares when our daughter was a newborn, and this one immediately stood out as the most genuine, cozy, and nurturing. We started when she was five months old and instantly felt welcomed and confident that she was receiving exceptional care - esp Ms Sue, Babusya, Ms Lucy, Ms. Lori, etc!!! The teachers are incredibly attentive and truly invested in the kids. Their communication with parents is excellent -- we always feel informed, supported, and part of our daughter's day-to-day experience. The Procare app is used and extremely accurate with pictures as well! On top of all of that, the price is by far the most reasonable we found, especially considering the level of care and personal attention the children receive. Our daughter is thriving here, and we couldn't be more grateful for the wonderful community they've built. Highly recommend!

Jill, Gabby, all the teachers and staff are amazing people running the facility. So friendly and flexible, understanding the needs of the kids and the parents. The location is excellent for NYC commuters, as the 166X bus stop is couple minutes walk away. They are also very generous allowing parents to park their cars in the parking lot for the whole day. The TLE app is a convenient way of staying up to date with daily activities, updates, billing and communication from teacher. Photos of kids daily activities are posted every on the app. TLE has great curriculum to teach kids letters, numbers, colors, shapes, vocabulary. Our daughter was so much ahead and academically prepared for K, thanks to TLE. For different age groups they also have special events like field trips for Pre K and K students, water activities during summer. I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for daycare facility.
