My 3 year old son just started Playmates in June and he is loving it. Being an educator myself, I…read morewas a little worried that they would make him sit for long periods of time for rote academic practice, but the students are quite active and are always "learning by doing" which is great since it corresponds to their mental development. The staff is also quite loving and gentle with the kids. I've never heard them speak harshly and my son is excited to get to school in the morning -- Ms. Amita, Ms. Ruby, Ms. Joanna, Ms. Lina (sp?) we are your biggest fans -- Thank you!! (Nikhil) (The only drawback is the uniform, my personal belief is that children especially at that age should be able to be independent humans -- but that being said, wearing a uniform will make it easier to dress him in the mornings).

With playmates nursery I felt comfortable and safe that my son who is 2 1/2 would be protected. When he started the daycare he was hardly speaking now hes a chatterbox. he comes home with drawings and activities he did throughout the day . Playmates nursery is a school like atmosphere and the kids are treated like they r in school with routines. the teachers are very nice. The only negative thing I would say about this school is that on the holidays for instance like Christmas they r off for 2 weeks. im a working mother I cant afford to find someone to watch him for those 2 weeks , that what im paying a daycare for. Another thing is that its a little pricey . the kids have to wear uniforms , you have to buy supplies , etc. they are very good but there are a few things they can switch around.

Since Baldwin doesn't have a Pre-K program, my children will be attending Pre-K here too. They are also very reasonably priced.

There is a team dynamic which is comforting since everyone has a specific task they focus on. As a parent and educator, it makes me feel great to know my daughter is in a safe environment. As someone who has been with the DOH, I have seen other facilities and it's truly frightening what is out there. But IBEAR truly makes an effort and works together to ensure a safe, respectful, learning environment. The facility also provides breakfast and lunch, which is helpful. There is even bus service! As for the teachers, my little one looks forward to seeing her teachers. She gets up every morning looking forward to school so I know she is having a good experience. (She is 3 and very vocal, she would have said otherwise). She is happy to share what she learned and talks about her friends and teachers. Watching her behavior I know that she is in the right environment. I did read a review that the place is dirty. I would like to address since I toured without an appointment. I literally had popped in one day to check out the Daycare before enrolling my daughter. The place was clean. In fact, it was much cleaner than other places I have seen. The floors are clean, The bathroom was clean too.

I went to register my child and no one was there at the front desk to greet me. As I patiently waited I was able to observe class room 1 (the infant room) to the left of the elevator. and all children were in cribs crying, while unattended with the lights on. When some one finally came to greet me, it was about 10 to 15 minutes into my observation. The director told me the children were napping. I told her about my observation and that the lights were on. It was approximately 11:35 am. I asked to see infant schedule to confirm naptime, and I was denied. She told me if I register my child I will see it. She was very rude and suggested I dont register my child if I had any complaints. I wasnt at all rude neither did I complain. I was only concerned and had a few questions. I realize everyone is entitled to their own opinion and or views so I chose not to go back and forth with her or or enroll my child. I just pray this isnt some one elses business they have just sabotaged. Atleast no one was being abused. Hence the purpose for the 2 star and not 1.
