I have been sending my daughter to Appleseeds since February and from the minute I walked in I felt…read morecomfortable. The kids all have a great rapport with Miss Nikki and it is clear she is sensitive and aware of their individual wants and needs. It's really great how personally invested Nicole is in their health, well-being, and future education. She has a nice clean space for the kids as well as engaging toys and activities. It's so important to feel that your child is safe and happy when they're away from you as a parent and I absolutely feel this way about Appleseeds.

I was really looking forward to enrolling my son here, but unfortunately my experience was…read moredisappointing. Before enrolling, I paid the required deposit and was told that the owner would be on vacation for a week. I completely understood that. However, when the original start date came and went, I never received any communication letting me know that her flight had been delayed or providing an updated timeline. I had to reach out myself for answers. I understand that the handbook states deposits are non-refundable, and I respect that policy. My issue is not with the deposit policy--it's with the lack of communication. As a business owner entrusted with caring for children, it's important to keep parents informed, especially when changes affect their child's start date. Good communication builds trust, and unfortunately that was missing in my experience. I hope this feedback encourages better communication with future families.

Updated Review July 2024…read more I've removed my child from this School. My son is now 3yrs, from 7months to about 16months things remained the same as what is described above. He stepped up to another class in which he was the youngest, Mrs. Forbes (Owner/Director) asked because she needed to make room for another child. My wife and I agreed, we felt like it wasn't a big deal. Unfortunately the level a care went down tremendously. For example: Diapers not being put on properly on multiple occasions, using someone else's diapers, my son had scratches on his arm because an employee was allowed to grow their nails out and in the mist of trying to save my son from bumping his head on a sink, she grab him and left scratches on his arm ( This incident happen mid week Mrs. Forbes didn't look into the matter or contact me about the matter until 2 weeks later). My son eventually was removed from that classroom due to several meetings I had discussing the same issues over and over with Mrs.Forbes who would make excuses and referred to First Step's as the best daycare in middletown and no other place provides the type of services she does. After the countless meetings, my son was place in a class that had kids younger then him. Mrs. Forbes felt like the teacher was competent in which she was. Things got back on track, he had some regression being in a class with kids that were younger then him in which there was some behavioral issues but the teacher stuck it out and assisted in getting him potty train which we greatly appreciated. Most individuals would ask why leave those things are minor, your child is happy and well taken care of after you had several meetings. Under the suggestion of Mrs.Forbes we had our son's behavior evaluated, findings came back normal with the exception of him needing a new environment. Mrs. Forbes is condescending, her attitude is nasty, she believes the parents have some obligation to her and the way she wants things done, there is no accountability, and she forgets that she works for the parents and children. I gave a four weeks notice before I left, I ultimately pulled my son out before the agreed time because she is not a woman of her word, as far as contract and hours that were suppose to be given. Mrs. Forbes made and executive decision to give me a credit instead of honoring the last 2weeks at 12hr days. Mrs. Forbes made it seem like she was doing me a favor when gave me a credit. Mrs. Forbes didn't stand by her word, when that was brought to her attention she disregarded what was agreed on and basically ignored the agreement that was made. My wife and I were upset over agreement that was made that she didn't honor. So we called for a meeting (Monday). Mrs. Forbes has a camera as well as a mic outside her door, my wife who does not curse called her a witch because she did not honor the agreement we set. Mrs. Forbes then called me to call me unprofessional and how she had patience with my wife and I. I think i had the patience. I will never recommend her business again. Good Luck to the Guy I Seen outside trying to get a spot at Missed Steps. FYI We did get our deposit back, i believe it was out of damage control rather than sincerity.

The center is always kept clean and you can tell the owner really loves what she does and cares for my daughter like she's her own. It's like a home away from home for my daughter who loves it there. There was separation anxiety at first which is normal when first being introduced to a new environment, but now she really enjoys it. I can really see a change in her developmentally. I love this place. It's really a step up from all other day care's. They really put in the time and effort. I wish this place was open when I had my first first daughter!

I can also appreciate the engagement that they foster and how they have help to develop confidence and discipline in children as well as adults. The classes are structure to be physical to provide a fitness aspects but also fundamental in growth and learning to teach self awareness, self respect, discipline and spirit. I have been impressed by each Master, the Dojo and the participants behavior during classes. The community and camaraderie that is instilled is impressive. It is such a wholesome and conducive environment. I recently learned that UMAC offers an after school program. This is extremely beneficial to myself as a new parent in the process of adopting. Our child needed after school programs and UMAC came through big. Not only is the after school program reasonably priced, the staff picks the children up at their schools. Upon being in the program, students are helped with homework, given social skill time as well as being allowed to participate in Martial Arts classes. UMAC is beyond helpful in the community as well as being such a positive entity for children's growth and learning outside of typical schooling. I highly recommend checking out the schools and the offerings.

We would highly recommend Hudson Valley Speech and Swallowing to any family needing speech and swallowing services for their family.

My otolaryngologist recommended Hudson Valley Speech & Swallowing, and thankfully they quickly scheduled my consultation. I met McKenzee, an outstanding voice therapist and human being. She assessed my needs and provided me with numerous resources for practice and instruction. After weeks of effort, it became clear that I would need surgery although I had made great progress. McKenzee encouraged, educated and inspired me throughout one of the most difficult times in my life. She approached each of our sessions with enthusiasm and great preparation. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together, even though many times I was frustrated by my own physical limitations; and left each session with practical strategies as well as an increased motivation to improve. I have always looked forward to my voice sessions. Hudson Valley Speech & Swallowing is a very happy place. The office staff is cheerful and extremely accommodating. They work hard to explain insurance issues and always go out of their way to help with scheduling. I have witnessed several other voice therapists greeting their clients with the same warmth and enthusiasm that I receive with each visit. The staff genuinely cares for their clients and are very happy in their work. From experience I know that choosing a voice therapist can be a scary undertaking; your voice is part of your identity. I am extremely satisfied with my experience at Hudson Valley Speech & Swallowing. I feel blessed to have found a voice therapist and a practice that is caring, encouraging and knowledgable.
