Follow the signs. Thereis parking to the side of the main house. This visit had a tour of plants . There is a pond, fire pit and picnic tables throughout the area.it is a nature preserve park with many native plants along with some for sale. I suggest wearing a hat and sunscreen. While there are paths, sturdy shoes or work boots are good too along with a bottle of water. I did sera sign for bathrooms as well. They have a compost pile on the side.if you happen to have peelings from vegetables feel free to drop them off on your visit and learn how they make black gold for the soil.

We went there for a Cub Scout outing for the first time. The museum is really a small and old…read morestructure located in Manhasset. We had a group of about 15 Cub scouts there finishing the ferns and animal related topic badge. The lady who gave a lesson about how to track or discover animals around us during our daily life, but the lesson was in a small room with no AC. The boys were not interested in the discussion at all. The session was informative to the parents, but the lady seemed unable to handle younger kids. We then took a nature walk outside and the boys were very into the hike. The trail was clearly marked and easy to access by foot. Parking lot was relatively small. Overall it was an okay experience.

To Melissa M: You have no idea what you are talking about. You were not there while my children…read morewere attending Tutor Time and what a terrible experience was for them. Did you even see what occurred when they were there? Were you in the room when the experiences I related happened? Were you privy to the phone calls and messages I received from Tutor Time? No. So you have no right to say I'm making stuff up and call me a liar. Alison and Danielle may be nice to you but they were not to my youngest son. They were very rude and nasty to him and couldn't wait to throw him out. They treated him like absolute dirt. One other thing that I didn't put in my first review is that I called my school district about what to do about my son and his situation at Tutor Time. When one of the directors who has a PhD in education found out that my son was attending Tutor Time of Massapequa, she said "I've had this conversation with them before. Their methods are terrible. The teachers have no training whatsoever. Their only response to when a child doesn't behave is to isolate the child and eventually try to get rid of the child which causes much more harm than good." So it's not just me. Tutor Time has a bad reputation with my school district and they have a low opinion of Tutor Time's methods. Don't tell people to ignore my review because it is a 100% accurate reflection of my children's experiences there and people should know that it isn't the happy, sunny place you insist it is.

I see a lot of mixed reviews on here and I would like to address some inconsistencies. We've been…read morepart of the Tutor Time family since 2015 and I can honestly say that this team is wonderful, caring, attentive and really do go out of their way to make this feel less like a daycare mill and more like a family. The teachers are wonderful. A few years ago there was a different director and I was not happy with how things were going with my oldest and pulled her out and put her into a local preschool- HUGE MISTAKE. I really wish I had stuck it out with Tutor Time. When my son was born, we chose a different daycare at first because of some of the issues we had with the previous director, but ended up switching back to Tutor Time and I'm so happy that we did. It was night and day the level of care and communication my children received there versus other centers and schools. Allison is wonderful and I feel that she truly makes an effort to know each and every child that is there and tailor their care and education based on their needs. There are some really standout teachers there that treat your children as if they're their own. All of the children that I know that "graduated" from Tutor Time went on more than prepared for Kindergarten. My son is in Preschool now and is doing science experiments, art, music, and writing activities DAILY. These activities are done all day long and not just in the morning. He comes home singing songs every day. They now have cameras that you can observe the classrooms, plus they continue consistent communication, pictures and videos throughout the day through their app. They have regular family activities, such as trunk or treat, holiday concerts, summer parties, etc. all while trying to maintain safety for the children and community. I know everyone's experience is different, but I can honestly say we've been very happy with Tutor Time and would wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone looking for childcare in the area.
