I cannot recommend this after-school program enough! They have art classes where kids can fully relax and let their imagination run wild, which is extremely important! They are always engaged and are learning something new. Thank you! read more

Our 3-year-old just loves her 3k program! It's been amazing to see her opening up, trusting more and learning in such a supportive and engaging environment. Big thanks to Bronislava and Liliya for their dedication and care, we have peace of mind when our small lady is with them. read more

My baby girl going to this day care (located on Neptune ave) for 3 years. She loves her teachers, I love location, playground and classes. They have a lot of activities and always put pictures of what kids did during the day and in what activities they participated. It gives me a piece of mind and also ideas of what my child did during the day and what she is capable to do in general. I really glad that I chose this day care for my baby as I feel that she os in good hands during the day. read more

Our daughter has been going to this daycare for about 6 months (except Covid-19 quarantine time) and she absolutely loves it. Olya is amazing with the kids! Our daughter loves the songs they sing together and especially the daily art projects. She comments all the time about the artwork hanging in her room: "I made all this with Kamila!". When they're playing outside in the afternoons and I come to pick her up, she doesn't want to leave. Great daycare with an awesome curriculum. read more

Five-year-old children were left without adult supervision, and one girl took an adult size scissors, and gave four of the kids a "haircut" before the first nanny showed up and discovered it! read more

My child has been attending Little Scholars for over 2 years now and we are very happy. Her teachers are all kind and friendly, always welcoming, always happy to be there. Same teachers have been there since we started, which says a lot about the management! The programs are well organized! There are always different activities going on: reading time, arts and crafts, dance, Russian, Chinese, Krav Maga and the list goes on and on! Kids spend time outdoors and get fed home cooked meals! Hygiene is excellent: everything is always clean, my daughter comes home neat, and there is constant emphasis on hand washing and sanitizing! Very very important for a parent! Special thank you to all of my daughters teachers: preschool--Bronya, Larisa and Dawn and her current preK--Sabina and Vika! read more

An amazing place for growing minds! The teachers are dressed appropriately and professionally, the home cooked food is as good as it gets and the children are very well sought after and cared for. The playground is outside and gated so I know my girl is getting the Vit. D she needs daily, and safely! Music, arts abd crafts, and discipline... I couldn't be more satisfied and most importantly my toddler is happy and learning! A+ read more

Nice teachers and cooked home food, not too many engaging activities during free play but over all good care for youngsters

I must say that I'm extremely disappointed with this organization as a whole. My child's " teacher" is Dawn. Dawn and who ever else plans the learning assignments for children of the ages 2-3 are Delusional such so that it's scary. First of all I picked my child up early 2 weeks ago during lunch time so I decided to wait till after lunch and just quietly observe them interact amongst one another. They were in the process of washing their hands, the manner Dawn spoke to these children which my child must of washed their hands before I got there or I would of definitely approached management about it, was just horrible. She was very abrasive with the 2-3 yr old children saying Hurry wash your hands then looked at them very mean, there was a little blond boy who you could see the fear in his eyes. It was so sad because no parent wants that. As I am leaving Dawn tells me about a show and to bring in a bear for a project, she gives me paper work and also tells me to get a bell for the show, I was excited to hear that they would be performing in a Christmas show, then she says the children are cute they are doing jiggle bells and a few Russian songs for the show. I understand that little scholars is located next to Brighton beach which has a large Russian, Uzbek, Kazakistan,Tajikistan,Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolian community but there are also many other nationalities in the area as well such as Spanish, Polish, African Americans,and Caucasians. When Dawn told me my child who is not Russian is singing several Russian songs I almost had a stroke. She laughed and thought it was cute. No it's not cute!!! There are children of other descents in that class. My children will not understand what language singing in. Its actually the most asinine, absurd practice ever! You have children who don't speak English who need to learn English singing songs in their native language amongst other children who don't even understand stand what is being said. That is the epitome of counter activism. Then you want to teach 2-3 yr olds about hibernation??? But you give them 1 letter to color every other week??? You teach them G is for Gold fish and then jump to Hibernation?? A lot of the children don't know the ABC's?? Fortunately my child knows their alphabet and counts to 20. Then I send my child with a bear to make a bear cave and then a week later you want my child in pajamas to watch polar express? Is that why I did all of this? In Preparation to watch polar express? Really?? Try teaching the basics before hibernation, which the only reason this ridiculous subject is even being entertained is because you're going to have them "come out in the spring " Please!!! Just say you want me to continue wasting money until the spring when the Bears in their cave come out of hibernation. By then you may have my child watch polar express again to remind them of useless information. Sales gimmicks don't work with me, and if you're going to come up with a gimmick at least make sense. Dawn in my opinion is horrible!! She barely post to the FB page, But the teacher Lena post pictures almost daily and from her picture she actually teaches, which is nice to see. In closing, I'm so disappointed and I feel like my child is being dooped of a proper education. To much play, way to long naps. Tip for you little scholars make sure they are learning Feliz Navida in your show. Needless to say my child won't their bear Coke out of hibernation. My child will be elsewhere. read more

If I could give a zero star I would! I haven't enrolled my daughter for the simple fact that not ONE of there 4 locations have had people who were welcoming and polite! I made an appointment to tour and when I showed up no one knew why I was there or that they were expecting me!!! Went to their Neptune location today and the lady let me in and walked away to a bunch of screaming kids! I was left standing there, no one approaching me! Finally I told a lady I was there to get information and the lady said if I wasn't enrolled already then they were booked! Went to leave and the lady who let me in apologized and said she thought I was there to pick up a child! Never met me in her life so not sure how or why she assumed I was there to pick up a child! If you're not Russian I wouldn't even bother checking them out! read more

My child currently attends Little Scholars II, and I just have to give the utmost highest review for this facility. First of all the staff-- so friendly, so calm, affirmative with the children in the most sensitive ways, professionally dressed and speak professionally to the children and parents (Ms. Ira, Ms. Bronya, Ms. Larissa, Ms. Sabina and the chef). These factors are so essential. They took the time to not only orient my child but me as well. They give feedback, answer phone calls, and offer suggestions. They are well experienced, and quickly see the needs, desires, and tendencies of every child. They are observant to the children's physical and speaking abilities. They notice if it is chilly or hot, and attend to the children, addressing that by either clothing them with a sweater or taking a layer off. The children are always busy with learning, projects and physical activities and so happy doing it all. The staff posts photos of the kids frequently, and it is so heartwarming to see the photos. The facility is very clean, the staff wears gloves when distributing meals. The facility always smells so good from the home cooked meals, I get hungry when I walk in! I was worried my son may struggle adjusting, but after one week of half-days (recommended by staff to ensure a smooth transition), he was happy to go, and even sleeps there for a good 2 hours! I am so so happy that we chose Little Scholars II, my son loves it, it is so good for him, and I am happy that I can trust this facility to give the best care, I hope this excellent ethic maintains throughout our experience! Thank you so much! read more
