He has been attending since he was 3 years old, and now he's 4. Even though he'll be starting kindergarten in September, we'll definitely still stop by to visit since we're only about 3 minutes away. Every morning he's excited to get ready because he genuinely looks forward to going to daycare. This isn't just a place where children are watched--it's a place where they learn and grow. The teachers provide educational lessons and send home activities for the children to complete and bring back the next day so they can review what they've learned. The kids have so much fun with engaging lessons, creative activities, and exciting field trips. The staff also do an amazing job communicating with parents by providing daily reports, photos, and updates, which gives me peace of mind knowing how my son is doing each day. I truly appreciate everything they have done for my son. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and educational environment for their child!

I gave Ms Armand a call and everything was just as we left off. Obviously as the years passed the daycare has only gotten better. When your child is enrolled here you honestly don't have to worry about anything. Your child is in a loving safe environment. Ms Armand makes learning fun in every way. Your child will be able to read, write, recognize site words and count before they even hit kindergarten. Your child will learn potty training and develop independence, learn social skills and so much more.

The teachers (Ms. Lidia, Ms. Arielle, Ms. Alejandra, and Ms. Sosana) are full of soooo much love and treat my children as if they are their own. As an educator myself, I am amazed by how much my girls have learned at 2 years old- about every single holiday, about presidents, about historical events, etc. The teachers are so creative and when I show their daily school photos to friends who have children in daycare, they are even impressed by the dedication and creativity of the teachers at Little Explorers. The staff at this daycare are warm and feel like family, and this is absolutely something created from the top down.

They are absolutely amazing, completely focus on your little one, and help them grow, develop, and learn. This is not just a daycare or school, it is a family that takes care of your child as if they were their own (Even Akram!!). It starts with the top, and Ms. Kate and her family are phenomenal. They are dedicated to the kids and put their time, resources, and love to the little ones. They are always available and always willing to help. I have been with this school since its beginning in Floral Park with my oldest. Ms. Sosanna was there and took care of her and made sure she was given love and was fed and learned. When it came time for our youngest, there was no doubt or any other choice. We would wait for a spot here. The school itself is a beautiful home, with a spacious area around. It is in tree lined streets. Inside, it is soo warm, full of color or life and love. Everyone who works there loves each child and gives their full time and effort. There is no question, I would trust Ms. Sosanna and everyone here with the life of my child. They are not only in the best hands, but will also develop to their full potential.

Amazing Grace operates like school. The daily structure is amazing, pun intended. There's activities, story time, play time, potty training, nap time, trips, events, and so much more. The staff are amazing and friendly. You can tell they know what they are doing and take tremendous pride in the care they provide. You can monitor your child's day via an app from the comfort of your phone. You can see what your child have eaten, when they potty, videos of activities. What we love the most is there's no screen time. The children are actively engaged and supervised throughout the day. We strongly recommend you SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!

I wanted to write a review for awhile, but waited a little bit of time so I could sit down and sort…read morethrough all of my thoughts. We had enrolled with Kiddie Academy before they were even open for business; one of the directors liked to joke that my son was their first kid. It was a brand new facility that was within the neighborhood so we were excited to attend. KA fully opened in September 2017, and although there were some growing pains, it was a well-run daycare that was very responsive to parent feedback. My son had just turned 1 when he first attended KA. We've had amazing teachers - Theresa, Yolanda, Sam, Brandi, Katherine, to name a few. Some of them no longer work there for one reason or another. Turnover is VERY high here. I always thought it was peculiar when seeing their ads for teachers and assistant teachers that their requirements for early education were so low, but since we've always had great teachers up until this year, I never questioned it. I don't want to go into our personal history with this place, and all the detailed ridiculousness that went on in the past few months, but I do want to note that if your child tests boundaries or doesn't do well with passive teachers, this is not the place for you. Earlier this year my son went through a phase of rebellion and testing boundaries, and spiraled out of control because the teacher he had was too passive and a pushover. I would get a call everyday from the newly minted and extremely real-world-inexperienced director, telling me "I don't know what to do." You are a daycare facility, your job is to KNOW WHAT TO DO. Your job is to give your teachers, and yourself, the tools to learn classroom management for young children. There was none of this. One of the other directors even asked me to talk to my pediatrician and to see a therapist. A THERAPIST FOR A THREE YEAR OLD!!!! AND WE ACTUALLY WENT!!! Against my better judgement as his mom, we went, because we thought there might be some anger issues he had to work out. But there were none. He was acting like a normal 3 year old, testing his boundaries, to see how far he could push. The therapist even suggested possible abuse or bullying from other classmates/teachers, but we got none of that out of him. Finally, as a last resort and after almost a whole month of this behavior, they switched him to a different classroom with a more stern teacher. He did well and the calls stopped. After a few weeks, COVID shutdown occurred but did not shut KA down. There was a huge decrease in the number of teachers and kids in the classrooms. Throughout March, April, May, June, July.... We attended. We supported them. In August, as more kids and teachers returned, there were yet again changes to my son's classroom environment which resulted in his bad behavior resurfacing and at this time, I was fed up with the young, inexperienced director. I couldn't stand her almost daily calls asking me to pick him up because she "didn't know what to do anymore." I was ready to move my son out of this facility. After a week of her calling me to complain about his bad behavior I gave her a piece of my mind. We have been enrolled in a structured, Catholic pre-k program since school started and he is thriving and flourishing. The teacher has 30+ years of experience. I wish I could turn back time and take him out back in January when this all started. When kids behave poorly, it is the environment and the adults around him that need to change. I hated having to write this review in this manner as I have always been supportive of this facility even when other neighborhood moms complained about them. I was always on KA's side; I understand how small businesses worked and how much money, blood, sweat they must have poured into this business. But I can no longer do that with a clear conscience after my personal experiences and I can no longer recommend them as I have for the past couple of years.

Moving into the neighborhood about 2yrs ago I was looking for a loving, comforting, family feel after school /daycare for my kids. I was very concerned my kids(ages 3 & 7) would not take well to this change & the transition would take a few months. My other concern was finding a suitable place to work with my daughter who at the time had a speech/language delay. My kids from day 1 have absolutely loved it! Within the first month my daughters progression in speech/language improved so much it left me in shock. The teachers worked with her therapist to help her develop her skills & get her to her age group level. The teachers & staff are more like family than just an establishment my kids attend. Thank you Loving Childcare for being the place my kids feel like they are home.
