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!

I was able to go back to work (twice) after maternity leave and know they were in good hands. We started with Vivvi when our 1st daughter was 6 mo until she was 2 and our second from 12 weeks old on! 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.

I can tell she genuinely cares about the family's needs and does her best to seek out the candidates that will be a great fit by doing her due diligence. I also appreciated that she is an advocate for us when it comes to finalizing contract terms to ensure both parties are happy. Lastly, I value that she is available at any time to answer our questions and goes above and beyond to check in on us to see if we are comfortable. I highly recommend the Nanny Smith!

We loved the Vets Kids program as an Imagine Early Learning Center, and our little one came here…read morefrom five months to almost three years of age. We loved the program. The leadership and staff are incredible and caring, and communication was excellent. The programming is engaging and enriching (including nature walks, events with the NYC Parks Department, yoga, music, puppetry, soccer, and more), and we were thrilled to see our kiddo flourish and grow. The infant classroom is called Tadpoles, the 1-2YO toddler class is called Turtles, the 2-3YO class is called Dolphins, and the 3-4YO classroom is the Goldfish class. We had to leave the program because we were moving away but miss and love the teachers and administration.

After touring several schools we chose Push My Swing for our 2yr old. Everyone was happy, which was…read morenot the case at some of the other schools we toured. Once we started school, we saw in earnest that the teachers were very patient and kind and the kids were all so great! The photo and video updates during the day through the app were also wonderful - we felt connected with the school and the children constantly. Access to the private playground for the kids also made us feel reassured about their general safety. Our daughter stayed here 2 years until the COVID shut down. If we have another child we will 100% enroll here again.

We have had the BEST experience at Push My Swing the past two years and we are EXTREMELY sad to say…read moregood bye as our daughter Mila will be moving on to Pre-k in September. We visited several daycares in the Gramercy/Kips bay area but what stood out the most with PMS was that it had a very homey feeling and all the kids looked like they were so happy yet so well behaved! We saw an instant improvement in our daughter's behavior in the first couple of months and really appreciated how welcoming, caring, and nurturing the teachers were with her as she was one of the youngest kids at the time. Sometimes Mila would cry when we picked her up because she wanted to stay with her friends and teachers! We cannot say enough amazing things about her special teacher Jenny. Jenny has been an exceptional teacher and truly loves all the children and it really shows. She goes above and beyond and kept us updated daily on areas that my daughter needed to improve on. She devoted so much time in ensuring that Mila was succeeding academically and I cannot thank her enough for all her patience. There is an app where pictures and videos were uploaded everyday so we felt like we were really in touch and not missing out on the daily fun activities. Also, there is a huge private playground in the back where the children spend a lot of time playing which is quite unique to this type of daycare. This school has become like family to us and we are so grateful that Mila was able to spend two incredible years there. I feel like she is very well prepared for her next chapter and only hope that she will have the same level of care at her next school!

We started my daughter at the Goddard school when she was 7 months old. Ever since then, each one…read moreof her teachers have shown her so much love and support. When she was in her infant room, Ms. Christine was kind and patient. She engaged her both emotionally and physically. Im sure that my daughter reached all her milestones early because her teachers worked so hard with her. Now my daughter is in the toddler classroom and she is obsessed with Ms. Lidia and Ms. Danielle. She calls for them by name on the weekends. I feel so safe and comfortable knowing that these 2 women are taking care of my daughter. In addition to all the love and care she get, I am so beyond impressed with the menu my daughter I served everyday. She eats such a diverse menu of foods that I couldn't possible recreate in my house!

We originally chose the Goddard School because of their covid procedures, way back in 2020-2021,…read morethat were very strict. Throughout then, till now, we have been beyond satisfied with their organization, safety protocols (protests, covid, etc.), food selections/variety/nutrition (organic, etc.), communication (frequency, methods and accuracy) and most importantly the teachers. The people and systems that really hold everything together to give the opportunity to forster fun and learning. From Lowest Aged Classrooms - Ms. Victoria and Ms. Molly - both so kind, gentle and understanding, which at a younger age, really what kids need. They take note of important things like food intake, health, sign language, and even smaller (but life hack tips) items such as good sippy cups to use, etc. Ms. Monica and Ms. Destiny - they had our (first) son at a very challenging age and really were his first teachers at Goddard. They worked with him to achieve so many milestones. He loves them both dearly! They were upbeat, so dedicated and really got him out of his shell (and may I add out of many bad moods)! We can never thank them enough! Ms. Philena and Ms. Tiana - Both great teachers! Ms. Tiana is so sweet and caring. She keeps kids calm and speaks to them in such a way that they really open up to her. Mrs. Philena is also great, she speaks to the kids like little adults, and helps them to achieve milestones, such as staying dry after a nap, etc. She communicates (as she was the late night teacher) to the parents at pick up about the happenings of the day! Ms. O and Ms. Nina - Ms. O is a model teacher - as she must be for the age she teaches is when they start to get a little "smart"! She is firm and challenges them (holds them accountable) as well as relates to them on a friend level. Ms. Nina is so warm! She knows the unseen things such as if they may have to use the bathroom, or if they are in any type of "mood." She gets to know each kid and treats them as if they were her own. The administration really runs a tight ship - there is never a slip-up. Kellyanne, Yolanda, Sylvia and Emily they are all highly efficient whether it be getting the daily reports, communicating sicknesses/incidents, holidays, or crazy things that parents ask for like pictures of how big the chunks of food their kid are eating (guilty), or swiftly getting ....snacks or throw up off the floor (the sheer number of things that they handle I am sure I only know a small fraction). They basically are the neck to the (very heavy!) head. We could not be happier about the quality of teachers at the Goddard School to entrust them with the foundational years of our children.

My daughter attended for over a year before transitioning to 3K in September 2025, and I truly can't say enough about how positive our experience was. From day one, the entire team made me feel at ease leaving her each morning, which is no small thing when you're balancing work and motherhood. That peace of mind meant everything to me. She grew so much during her time there socially, emotionally, and developmentally. It was clear every single day that she was cared for with patience, warmth, and genuine attention. The staff always kept communication open, which I really appreciated, and they consistently shared helpful tips and insights that supported me as a parent too. What speaks volumes is that even after transitioning to 3K, we'll be returning for summer 2026. That alone says how much trust and love we have for this place. I'm so grateful to have found a community that not only cared for my daughter, but also supported me. Little Forest People will always hold a special place in our hearts.
