Before our first daughter was born, we toured Tutor Time of Holbrook. We were so impressed with the…read morecare and love and attention to the babies in the infant room, we signed up immediately! Miss J. in Infant A, we can't thank you enough for all your love and care for our girls. Now our first daughter is four and a half, and when our second daughter was born (she just turned 2), we knew she'd be happy and well-taken-care-of (and well-loved) there, too! Our second had some gross motor skill delays and had certain special requirements for her care as an infant, and we might have worried that she would have a hard time at full-time daycare, but we knew, based on the care we'd seen with other kids who needed a little help (some kids had their PTs visit during school), we knew that she would be just fine. She is a bright and happy kid, and we were so impressed and grateful for the many ways in which the Directors and her teachers in the infant rooms on up worked with her every day to keep her mind happy, stimulated and busy with age-appropriate activities even when she couldn't crawl when others were starting to walk. When she could crawl but not yet walk, but many classmates were walking, her teachers again made certain she could participate both inside the classroom and on the playground (and not be squashed by the walkers :D). Now she is walking proudly and hasn't looked back! :D We are forever grateful for all the special love and care for her! Both have been attending since they were a few months old, and we continue to be impressed by not only the care, but the educational curriculum, the safety and security of the school, the activities aimed specifically at each child's development, and even the menu! The directors and every teacher learns every child's name, and the girls love being greeted when they arrive. They also love the playground and projects and special fun days (and my preschooler is in Cub Camp for her second year, something she looks forward to), and I love that the curriculum is presented in a way that makes it fun to learn, and that each child comes home with a paper saying what she did, what she ate, how she napped, etc. each day. Most of all, though, you can tell that everyone loves and cares for your children, and it's a safe, nurturing environment that my husband and I feel comfortable having my girls attend. Highest recommendations!!!

Lack of Structure and Unprofessional Staff…read more I would not recommend this daycare. There was very little structure or planning throughout the day, which created a chaotic environment for the children. Rather than focusing on improving the classroom environment, staff suggested that my child might have a diagnosis, even though they are not qualified to make medical or developmental assessments. I found this inappropriate and concerning. If staff have developmental concerns, they should communicate specific observations respectfully and encourage parents to speak with their child's pediatrician--not suggest diagnoses. I expected a supportive, well-organized, and professional environment, but that was not my experience.

All the teachers are so nice and the whole place is very homey. The pre-K room is so big and bright with plenty of natural light and a really cool loft/play fort.

The prices are very reasonable and the location is convenient - it's nice to stop down port for dinner on the way home. Highly recommend!

We also have a 6 month old son and we did not have any worries enrolling him in as well. Most are scared to leave their babies in a daycare so young but we had no doubt he would be in good hands.

We have searched high and…read morelow and finally I went on a tour at this school and liked what they had to offer compared to other schools in the area. But it wasn't until my daughter actually started to attend COA Smithtown that's when we knew we made the right decision. Management is awesome Miss Kelly and Miss Amy manages the center very well. COA have a great and friendly staff. The teachers are awesome. My daughter teacher is Miss Michelle and she absolutely great. Her method of teaching and curriculum is outstanding. My daughter has learned so much since the beginning of school. Miss Michelle is definitely preparing her class for Kindergarten with out a doubt. Just knowing your child is in a safe environment while you are at work is every parents concern, being able to drop my daughter off knowing that she is in good hands put my heart at ease. I know she is being taken well care of, she is receiving nutritions meals and snacks through out the day, learning and having fun while doing it. I would highly recommend COA to anyone in the area looking for a Daycare/ Preschool. The hours are accommodating and they do not follow the public school calendar which is also a plus for me. COA emails you an electronic report when you sign your child out of what they learned and was feed and sends you photos of them throughout the day. They also have camera access. I can go on and on about this school.
