Cathy was amazing with the entire registration process and our little one is thriving with Haley and Brianna. Morning drop offs is a breeze, there's never a question if there's enough room for your child that day in their regular room and it is consistent to help keep the child comfortable. Class size and safe attentive care were some positive selling points that stuck out to me as well. The teachers do a great job at uploading some pictures throughout the day as well so we can get a glimpse of what our little one is up to and seeing the bright smile on her face as she is learning, exploring and socializing is worth it ten folds. Thank you again PeeWee Folks!!!

Miss Dawn and her staff were truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, they treated our…read morechildren--and our entire family--as if we were part of their own. There was always so much love, warmth, and genuine care, and we never had to wonder whether our kids were in good hands. Years later, our children are now 10 and 8, and they STILL ask to go back and visit Miss Dawn--and we do! I think that says everything about the kind of place she created and the impact she and her staff had on our family. Miss Dawn's was so much more than a daycare for us. It was a place where our children were loved, nurtured, and made to feel at home. We will always be grateful for those years and for the wonderful people who helped care for our kids. If you are looking for a daycare where your children will truly be loved like family, I cannot recommend Miss Dawn and her incredible staff enough!!!

My son has been going to Ms. Dawn's Child care for almost a year now and he loves it. When we…read morestarted looking for childcare we weren't sure what to look for, but after visiting several places we started noticing the differences between them and ultimately our choice was narrowed to something we consider the key ingredient for a successful childcare... and the key ingredient is Care. The day we visited Ms. Dawn's for the first time we were happy to witness one of the teachers affectionately hugging one of the kids while the whole class was singing the "I love you" song and I was happy to know he would initially be in her class. He has since then graduated to nursery and I am amazed by how much he has learned and how eager he is to continue to learn. Big thank you to all the staff not only for all you teach him but mostly for all the love.

I would 100 % not recommend sending my children to this facility…read more I was so happy that my twin daughters (ages 3) were accepted into Kiddie Academy to start on 9/11/23. After completing a tour and expressing in full details my children's needs and being told that the school was able to provide the needed support, I thought this would be a perfect setting for them. On their first day of school, I received at least five phone calls asking me to leave work and pick my children up. When asked why, I was told that they were having a hard time adjusting to the new environment and left the classroom a few times which was a "safety hazard" to the other children. When I made it to the school I spoke to Matilda Flores/ Assistant Director and Diana Lauth/ Director. Diana began talking to me about my children in the hallway as other parents were walking by and able to hear, which was a HIPPA violation so I asked her to continue the conversation in her office. When we got in her office she was extremely rude and asked me not to bring my daughters back to their facility as they "do not have enough teachers to provide the support my daughters need". Diana stated that the other children's safety were at risk because during reading time, one of my three year old daughters kept standing up and when she was asked to sit down she screamed and frightened another child". I asked Diana if it would help for me to come in to assist for a few hours to see if they'll adjust better being that it was their first day and was told no that wouldn't help. Diana then proceeded to say that she'd talk things over with her boss and call me back. The following day I took off of work and didn't hear anything back from Kiddie Academy. I called around 11am and was told that they'd call me back. At 5pm I received a phone call stating " The team thinks it would be best for me to find alternative daycare" and after one day of my children attending Kiddie Academy, they were being discharged. I did not receive any funds back and I am very hurt and upset that I trusted this facility to care for my daughters and was treated so bad on the first day. Kiddie academy is not welcoming at all and they only care for the money. Again I would not ever recommend this place!

I chose the Kiddie Academy of Islip as they are close to home and the staff there really made me feel like this was the right place for us. During the walkthrough i was shown ALL rooms along with their outside area. Everything looked clean and the staff working with the children at that time seemed happy and attentive to the children (i saw no red flags). They explained how the day typically goes and showed me the room(s) that my son may be in. I was told no shoes were allowed in the infant rooms which im a fan of for obvious reasons and was told that they disinfect everything on the regular. They gave me any documents that i needed to fill out and even showed and explained the weekly menu to me. They were more than willing to provide me with any information that i requested, answered all of my questions, and seemed to be very organized with their processes. With all things considered i really do feel like this was the perfect option for us. The staff is AMAZING and so nice. They send pictures throughout the day and will call me with any questions or concerns (fever/sickness) they might have. If there are ANY changes regarding the schedule for that day, they post notices/announcements right away for all parents to see. The communication with them is great! I can call at any time and they always answer and have never made me feel like i was annoying them. They are always more than happy to help or answer my questions. My first week dropping him off, i was VERY nervous but staff really made me feel at ease. My son is actually very happy when i bring him there in the mornings and seems to love the staff as well. This puts me at ease and makes me happy as i know he is being cared for correctly and that the staff is showing him love and attention. His teacher Ms Rose is also amazing! Every time i pick him up, she gives me the rundown of the day with how he felt, ate, communicated with other children, and so on (even though they submit a daily report). This gives me more insight on his day there and makes me feel like i am not missing anything! You can tell that the staff here really cares for the children. Overall i am VERY happy with my decision of putting my son in this daycare. I am beyond happy with the way that my son is cared for and with the staff that works so hard to make his experience at daycare amazing. As a parent, i need to feel positive about the people he is around and the environment that he is in and the Kiddie Academy of Islip really does such a great job! I have built more trust in the staff every day that he has been there and i hope that this experience continues to be a pleasant one. I would 100% recommend The Kiddie Academy of Islip to any parent who is in need of childcare.

My daughter attended TLE for almost three years until she started kindergarten this past September…read more There are definitely things over the three years that left a lot to be desired and at times the turn over did seem high. It was hard when you felt like you developed a good rapport with your child's teacher/director and then they leave, and then you have to start all over with someone new. But what I will say is my daughter had two amazing teachers during her time at TLE. The first, Ms. Jailyn, really took the time with her kids from what I could see and my daughter loved her and I could tell her teacher loved her back. I felt at ease when she was there and even if she had to give me a bad report on my daughter's behavior I felt she wanted to try and find a way we both can help her and not that it was just my problem as her mom. When Ms. Jailyn left I was not happy and worried who my daughter's next teacher would be (I did have some not so great experiences with other teachers.) There were at least two other teachers she was switched around too but thankfully she ended up with Ms. Rose. I can literally not say enough amazing things about Ms. Rose! My husband and I truly believe she made a difference in my daughter's life! She is so patient and kind and really a remarkable woman. My daughter would have meltdowns in class and Sometimes it would be rough but Ms. Rose never gave up on her and always would try to come up with new ways to help my daughter feel comfortable and redirect her tantrums. I am sure it was hard for Ms. rose but she kept pressing on and made us feel that our daughter was in great hands. My child needed a "warm and fuzzy" individual and Ms. Rose is exactly that person. I know not all teachers are like that and there are great ones who aren't but Ms. Rose was exactly what my daughter needed! I hope TLE does all they can to keep Ms. Rose because she is truly an asset to have!
