We heave had our son enrolled from six months to 13 months (the age he currently is). We tried a daycare prior to Loving Touch and I left crying every day. I leave Loving Touch with a smile knowing that my child and all of the other children are happy and well taken care of. There isn't a better feeling in the world for a working parent than trusting the place your child is and knowing that they are happy. Loving touch is friendly, loving, professional, and has a home feel. They ensure communication and education. A wonderful engaging environment. Brooke is the best director who is always available to the parents and makes herself seen all day with a smile. I Absolutely recommend for the daycare.

I even mentioned that I would only come in IF there were openings to not waste my husband and my time since we are very busy professionals. Jessica agreed and invited my husband and I in for a tour but once she saw us she said there were no openings?????? Yep his is after she confirmed an opening abs invited us in. . There were no other children of color in the classes so I'm assuming that's why. I am not one to constantly post reviews or blame racism for everything but it was pretty clear in this situation.

This school definitely needs to be investigated! the curriculum sucks! and they don't teach shit. kids don't even have a freakin WORK BOOK! also why are they charging so much for tuition but can't even get a proper photographer for the kids pictures c'mom! and the weirdos in the front act so concerned my son said melissa slapped him i definitely believe it now renee acts clueless to everything. my son also was having an allergic reaction and i noticed when i picked him up and took him to the doctor but let it be the other kids who don't look like his color they parents would've been called. The only teacher my son has ever liked was ms.gianna! she treated him so well and i believe she's probably the best there i hope she's leaves to find something better!! My son new teacher is very nurturing and loving and my son loves her soo much! i wish i found this school sooner. please keep your black children away from this dump everyday ms.devyn would write my son up and she wanted to have enough of them to kick him out but i said bump it and pulled him out! when she was on maternity my son never received a write up and i was getting good reports but soons she came back it was HELL!!' and he would even tell me all the teachers are so mean to him and would yell in his face. and he was very honest and said she kept doing it and he kicked her! i wanted to pull him before and i should've but i was told things would change and nope! that's my fault!! STAFF ARE NOT HONEST AND ALSO THERE NEEDS TO BE CAMERAS IN EVERY CLASSROOM! These teachers are not to be TRUSTED!

It is quite difficult finding childcare in Rockland County, NY. My review is for my experience…read moretoday. I drive 25mins twice a day to take/pickup my son from Lightbridge Academy-Westwood. His teacher Aneta is a dream. She's incredibly compassionate, patient, empathetic, loving and above all genuine. There is no one else like her and my son loves her truly. She's the only one who calls me if my son has an accident or isn't feeling well. She keeps me in the know always. I thoroughly appreciate the care and her positivity toward my son and everyone around her. Her people skills are incredible. The past 2 weeks I've been receiving emails requesting feedback on the staff. Today there is a need to write this review ...I'm sad I have to write it. This week has been difficult trying to find childcare for my daughter for spring break. Bright Horizons has been notifying me there is no placement in my area. Imagine my surprise when I saw Lightbridge Academy- Westwood pop up as placement. I was thrilled since my son goes there it would be perfect to have my daughter there for 4 days for 4hrs a day. I spoke to the assistant director this morning and told her I was surprised they were listed as a center. I told her I submitted a request for my daughter for the following week..and asked if she could confirm my daughter can be at the same center as my son. She said she'd look into it. I said do you mind letting me know sooner rather than later since it's Friday and I need to lock in childcare for my daughter..her response "I'll look into it" ..I was thinking to myself ..wouldn't she say "of course" and try her best to assist especially since my son already is enrolled at this academy for several months...As I turned to leave, I said to her again do you mind letting me know by 3pm ET today. and her response "I'll look into it... I already knew my daughter was not going to be taken at this center for the 4days with Marisa's lack of enthusiasm and her apparent annoyance at my request. I'm truly disappointed in Marisa. As a working mother like herself..I wish in that moment she put herself in my shoes but instead I didn't leave the building yet..and her and her colleague at the greeters window were talking about me behind my back. Who I am is a mother who needed help for 4 days- for 4 hrs per day ...and instead of trying to accommodate a parent who already has one of her child enrolled at their center...Marisa called me and told me sorry we don't have placement. (There was NO surprise there) ...I told her I was already notified by Bright Horizons. I told her I'm disappointed and it's unfortunate..she apologized she couldn't do anything ...I have worked with Bright Horizons for over 7years ..accommodations could be met especially for a parent who has a child already enrolled in the center. That's who they accommodate first (siblings). Marisa said it's nothing personal. I hope she understands my review is not personal. I wish they had more Aneta's in the world ..and above all I wish there were more Aneta's at Lightbridge Academy-Westwood. The world would certainly be a happier, friendlier, kinder place.

I was driving through Park Ridge and saw a cute little preschool across the street from the police…read morestation. Decided to check it out as an option for when my infant is ready for daycare. Upon arrival I was unwelcomed by a foul stench of urine emanating from the kids bathroom near the front door. The owner seemed to have no control over the children in her class. She seemed high strung and overwhelmed by the amount of chaos being caused by the kids. However she has a very welcoming attitude. Another concern I had was that while she was friendly and showing me the school, she neglected her first priority- the children in the school. While the school was appealing because of the small size, the staff was more attentive to their cell phones than to the kids. The whole school seemed very dirty, and outdated. Tacky multicolored cubbies. I have chosen another school for my child, and would not recommend Footprints Preschool for anyone.

This daycare has been a real game changer for us. Our daughter started daycare at a much bigger…read moreschool at 4 months and by the time she was 8 months old she had contracted over 13 viruses. She was out of school non-stop and was not napping for more than 10 minutes at school. We found Little Footprints and decided to move her there and the past three months have been AMAZING. The teachers and director are fantastic and we know our baby is loved and cared for there. The schedule at daycare has her napping a total of 3 hours a day and she has not been sick once. She absolutely loves going to daycare now and gets dropped off with a huge smile on her face and crawls right over to her teacher. If you're questioning coming here...do it. You won't regret it. :o)
