We switched from another local nursery school when my oldest was heading to PreK years ago and we've been here ever since. The teachers are SO loving and accommodating. Parents are welcome in the classrooms for their child's "special day" various times throughout the year, so you always feel connected to your child's daily experiences, as well as get to know their classmates. This was the ideal nursery school environment for us for the past 6 years and NSNS will always hold a special place in our hearts for the love, nurturing and education that it gave to our children.

He've learned a lot, well beyond the standard program, and all while playing and having fun. Just a few things kids learn there: reading and writing, math, chess, theater, vocal, science. There is a music teacher who plays multiple instruments and a real fortepiano in the playroom! They also feed kids with freshly made home-cooked meals. My son started eating soup on his own!!! We also attended Saturday classes where children focus on speech development, theater and science. I could not recommend this place enough, it is so good, I would love to go there myself!

A four star vetting? Far from it…read more It's dirty and unsafe. You're putting your kids at risk by sending them here. There's never enough staff, and the staff they do have, many are not licensed or being reviewed by the licensing agency for misconduct. Most of the good teachers left out of frustration. Few good ones are still left, are paid a few Pennie's over minimum wage, and have had enough. More recently, they chose to keep around a teacher that was accused of abusing 3 (THREE!) infants by another teacher because they "felt it couldn't be true". Only when parents called corporate was it actioned on. Before enrolling, try reaching out to the families who've left to get their honest reviews. I'm sure you can find them easily. I wish someone told me all this when I enrolled. It's expensive, one of the most expensive areas in the area, and has the worse reputation in the neighborhood. Run. Your welcome.

I'm not someone who usually leaves reviews, but this occasion requires it, with the goal of helping…read moreother parents and the institution. At no point is my intention to discredit Little Leaves, but I can't stay silent about what happened, since after this very unpleasant situation, I unfortunately cannot recommend them. From the moment we visited the institution, they never mentioned any minimum requirements for children to attend, such as needing to be able to feed themselves, among other things. On the contrary, they told us they would take care of giving him structure, helping him with potty training, and his education. To me, it was "music to my ears," but in reality I feel it was more of a sales tactic than reality, since there are other negative reviews mentioning the same thing. My son only lasted three days at Little Leaves and, by the institution's decision, was expelled due to his behavior, without them taking any responsibility for their lack of professionalism, their lack of structure for welcoming new children, and their inability to handle children who were struggling to adjust to a new environment in less than a week. They simply stopped providing service without even allowing a reasonable amount of time before making such a drastic decision -- only 3 days. My son is a child who has received a high level of care and love at home, and from the moment he entered this daycare he didn't feel accepted. The teachers expected him to follow the same routine as the other children, who had already been there for a while. He had just turned two years old a month earlier, and this whole process was completely new to him. Expecting him to adapt within three days is something not even an adult manages in weeks. They made no effort whatsoever to help integrate him -- they simply isolated him from the group. What kind of care is this? Are they actually qualified to care for children? My biggest complaint is that Little Leaves is not prepared to properly welcome children. A new child needs support from the teacher, a proper welcome into a new environment, and an appropriate integration into a group he doesn't know -- exactly as they described it to us when they were offering us on the service, which turned out to be completely false. My son, who is a very sweet child, exhibited behavior he doesn't show at home: he was erratic, pulled hair, and bit -- things he doesn't normally do -- and suddenly, in this new environment, he did them repeatedly. This makes me think he wasn't being treated properly; no person changes so radically from one environment to another without a reason. Contrary to what I expected, all I received were complaints. They had me fill out a report that they didn't explain properly, and at no point did they guide me through the process. One of the teachers had the recklessness to say they needed to "keep the rest of the children in the room safe" -- an extremely strong and alarming comment, considering they are dealing with children, not criminals. It's one of the most irresponsible statements I've ever heard from an education professional. To the owner, I recommend reviewing your processes for welcoming new children, being transparent about expectations and the center's limitations, and better training your staff on how to communicate with parents. I feel deeply disappointed by the treatment we received and by the unpleasant experience I went through. Who can determine a child's behavior in just three days? How would you feel if one of your own children were treated this way?

He started when he was 10 months old and the teachers were incredible with easing him into a new setting to decrease the stranger danger phase. All the staff members are so accommodating and keep me updated during the day so it feels like I'm not missing out on a thing! (Extra bonus points for tolerating a very hands on first time momma!!! They never made me feel any kind of way for asking too many questions or making specific requests about food/changes in my sons routine!) My sons social and physical skills have developed so much since he's started and his little personality has been shaped by the lovely teachers as well! Highly recommend for anyone considering!!

Need to supply them with extra. My daughter was left in cold weather outside, shivering from cold and crying, I found her in playgrounds and teachers says....

The classroom is bright and inviting. My kids absolutely love love the art projects. There is even group yoga!! And introduction of computer skills. I think it's great how there are different themes throughout the school year with emphasis on important health, science, safety, and community topics and more. The staff are warm, friendly, patient and professional and they seem very well versed in early childhood development and education. The drop off and pick up are well organized. It is amazing how much my child has excelled and matured socially and emotionally thanks to this wonderful, thoughtful and well laid out program. Definitely highly recommend!!!

He Is 2 yead old!!! I am truly sorry to the parents that this incident happened, but it could have been avoided if it wasn't for the lack of staff that day where 5 teachers were out including Jakes Lead teacher Mrs. A. Jakes ABA therapists was there during the incident for the first time at the and was shocked how unorganized it was and the lack of structure, redirection and positive reinforcement. I have noticed many issues over the last few weeks and according to Jake's 2 other outside therapists which who have been working with him on speech and communication at the day care notice the issues of lack of structure staff organization and improper transitions. Jake recently has 2 new teachers in his group which do not do much for him and other teachers reassigned to other groups. Joanna had let go Dashon and her sister who were wonderful with jake, well-educated and was running things well until Joanna returned and took over. After they left it has been a steady decline with improper greeting in the morning, no proper welcome and a rushed exit at the end of the day where Jake seemed to be unhappy at the end of the day frustrated and very hungry like he did not eat or drink enough during the day at times. I had one therapist come in to observe the day before on Thursday from 4 to 5 pm when he was pick up at 5pm to observe him and she also notices improper and irregular transition at the end of the day. We met with the staff on Monday who had work with Jake at times for the last 8 months who are wonderful and would be truly missed and said our good buys, as we have made up our minds not to continue with this daycare for our son due to the unwelcoming reactions unprofessionalism and decisions from Joanna the director. After meeting with Joanna on Monday evening regarding her explanation she was full of lies and made-up stories for her reasoning and decision. She does not acknowledge her staffing issues and organization issues and pours all the blame on my 2-year-old son. Not even and incident report filed for Friday. I will be filing a complaint to NYS Child services.
