As a preemie, we were worried about her development and to say that our daughter is thriving at Vivvi is an understatement. Thanks to Vivvi, I am able to work without anxiety or stress. They have an incredible app that updates your child's every major move- diaper, meal, photos of activities, etc. We couldn't be happier with our experience thus far. Thanks Vivvi team for providing a warm environment for our daughter!

They have excellent communication regarding both milestones and development as well as daily achievements and anecdotes! We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We will miss the entire Hudson Yards team now that we are moving to CT! We are in continued gratitude for all your love and kindness for our children.

My 3 year old attended as a 3k student in which the love, warmth, and guidance he received from Ms. Michelle and Ms. Galilea was unparalleled. He was challenged with new letters, engaged in fun arts projects, and was frequently brought outside with his friends. My 6 month year old received above and beyond attention and care from Ms. Jo-ann, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Karina, and Ms. Esther. When he left they created a book to remember TLE by--and weeks later when we would say Ms. Esthers name he would smile and make noises! All the teachers knew both my boys personally and would communicate daily about their milestones. The admin team at the time of Ms. Erica and Mr. Richard were also phenomenal. They communicated effectively, and despite running a school with so many young people, knew my boys well! TLE felt like a home away from home. We had traveled to the daycare/3K site and only left to be closer to home and have less of a commute. If you are in the LIC area, I cannot recommend both the care and educational experience of the Learning Experience!

My review is about our relationship at the end. Usually, our agreement was until the end of August,…read morebut they told us we could still send our kids for a daily rate. For six days, it was quoted $954. I need to send my kids and pay that because I am a Contractor hourly worker. September 1st, they called us even before lunch and said they have covid + case we need to pick up our twins. And the same day was my twins' birthday. We prepare goodie bags, cake etc. I understand they couldn't cut the cake because of the emergency, but they gave all the goodie bags away, not even singing the happy birthday song to my twins. Nobody thanked them for goodie bags; as you can imagine, the kids were very upset. They were asking me, "why everyone's birthday cake cut but not ours." Going back to the remaining days, they told us the school had to shut down for 14 days. I just paid six days for nothing. I basically paid $954 for half-day because they refused to refund me. I understand the circumstances if we are their ongoing family, of course, I can't ask that for an emergency days' refund. But I only made payment for the 14 days shut down period. It's beyond unfair to pay $954 for a half-day. I paid for the service I didn't receive. The worst part is I only paid that money to be able to work for my hourly job. I spent almost my week's work and was not able to work for the time being. The school gave us a discount eight months ago, and with not refunding my payment for the last six days they found a way to get back that discount. Not to response: I don't think the department of Health dictates you not to refund people. It's in your hands to refund, and you think it's fair to get paid for half day of service, that shows until when you care about your families. I would love to support a small business, but your business does not care about my situation at all as person who lost full time job because of Covid. We should be on the same boat on this understand each other. Sadly that wasn't the case.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found The Nurturing Place, a warm and loving in-home daycare…read moretucked up on the 2nd floor on 91st, between Columbus and CPW. Our daughter has been attending since she was just 6 months old and is now a thriving 2.5-year-old who loves going every day. Over the past two years, she's learned so much--she can count to 20, recognize letters and their sounds, and has developed a wonderfully expressive vocabulary. Beyond literacy and numeracy skills, TNP has given her essential emotional tools: she's learned how to recognize and regulate big feelings with breathing techniques and gentle guidance. She's even started potty training with confidence! From day one, the care and thoughtfulness have been evident. As a baby, she was fed every 3 hours and given all the cuddles and comfort she needed. Now, she enjoys 3 healthy meals a day provided by the daycare. (Truly an unexpected bonus given how affordable the daycare is!) She's also soaking up Spanish too! The variety of activities keeps her engaged and happy--community walks, sprinkler time in the summer, music and art classes, and plenty of free play. She's learned manners, how to take turns, and how to be a respectful friend. She's built a sweet circle of friends she enjoys seeing outside of daycare, too. As parents, we've found not just a daycare, but a supportive and inclusive parenting community. We can't recommend The Nurturing Place highly enough.

My son has been here since he was about 8 months, he's almost 2. And i could not say this enough,…read morebut we love the staff and owner. Ms Tai is so welcoming and sweet. She gives you a break down of what activities the kids will be doing day by day. The staff, they are so tentative to the kids, and they are treated as if they are one of their own family members. I remember going into my appointment and my son just smiling and he ran and gave a hug. It sold me, and before you ask yourself why, understand when kids are just around family they are a little iffy about going to others. That's when i knew he saw something more than i did. And i listened to it. They have helped me in so many ways, it's like Im dropping him off to my sisters house. He's comfortable there and cared for. As a first time parent, it's not easy to let your little one go and put them in the care of someone else's arms. But i would choose them over and over again. If i choose to have another child, i know i have a family thats more than welcoming to my child and me. Your child will definitely be in great hands.

I want to share my experience…read more... If you are a working family, especially a working mother this is NOT the place for you. Be prepared to pay over $300 and then take care of your child for weeks. Be prepared to take off lots of days. Between my husband and I, we took about 10 sick days in a span of 2 months. I would say 2 of those days were essential and I understood that my son had to stay home. They made me feel as if I was incapable of taking care of my child, or that I did not have the best interest in my child, and that I was lying just to take him to school. The director told me, "had a teacher not told you that your son had a bad cough, you probably wouldn't have done anything about it." Take this as you will, but to me this was such an insult to my capacity as a mother. My son entered when he was 6 months old, and I understood that he was going to get sick because it was his first daycare and also his older sister started 3K. I was called to pick up my son early due to a nasty cough. I completely understood why I had to get him and I brought him immediately to the doctor. The doctor reassured me that it was just a viral infection and that within 2 days he should be fine to go back to school. I even got him tested for Covd (he was negative). The daycare wanted to know exactly what he had (even though that violated our HIPPA rights). So I took him to another doctor for another opinion, she said the same thing. That it is difficult to know what exactly a baby this young has but that as long as he tested negative for covid and isn't having a fever he should be able to go to school. Not only did I have to provide a doctor's note, I also called the manager while I was at the doctor's office so that they could believe me. My son got sick again (not surprising). I did the same steps as before, took him to the doctor and got him tested for RSV, Flu. and Covid. He was tested positive for RSV. The doctor ressaured me that within 5 days he could go back to school. I kept him home an extra day just to be safe for him and everyone else. The doctor also reassured me that his cough would linger for weeks. So sure enough, I provide a note stating that he is negative for Covid and the return date. This again is not enough. They want to know the exact diagnosis and they said that they do not want any symptoms. But they also attempted to be helpful by saying that they will work with me only if his cough wasn't so alarming or consistent (very subjective). Then they started complaining about his loose stool. He is 6 months old. All he has is formula and purees. Plus he is teething. It is very normal (and again I took him to the doctor to reassure me that this was normal), for babies to get loose, sometimes very loose stools. I know I am his mother. But my son truly is the easiest calmest baby. I don't know if it was something against him or us. But it was clear to us, my doctor, and any other friends that I spoke to about this, that they wanted us out. My son was always happy when I took him and when we picked him up. The app is great and they will inform you of feedings and sleep. They will occasionally send you 1 picture a day. Sometimes they would send 2 other days they sent nothing. But the consistent witch hunt to find something wrong with my son was disturbing. He is now at a different daycare. They love him, I get multiple pictures a day, and no complaints!!!! Last time they called me during work, was to ask me what puree they can buy for my son! I had brought him when he still had his lingering cough. I explained to them what the doctor said and offered a note stating that he was no longer contagious and they completely understood.

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.
