As a first time mom, I was very nervous about sending my baby to daycare. By day two, the Pride and…read moreJoy family had already made me feel so comfortable and reassured. Everyone is kind, caring, and welcoming. During his time in the infant classroom, he celebrated his first birthday, started crawling, learned sign language, began counting, took his first steps, brought home the cutest crafts, and reached so many other milestones. He comes home every day saying his friends and teachers names, and he is genuinely excited to go to school every morning. As a parent, that's truly all I could ever ask for!! We are so grateful for the love and care they've given him and would absolutely recommend Pride and Joy to any family!

Pride and Joy has truly become like a second family to us. My son started there when he was just…read morefive months old, and now at three years old, it's amazing to see how much he has grown and thrived in their care. The teachers are so kind, loving, and genuinely invested in each child. It brings me so much comfort knowing he is in such a safe and nurturing environment every day. We're incredibly grateful for the entire team at Pride and Joy. They've played such an important role in these early years of our son's life, and we feel lucky to be part of such a special community.

We loved that it was a home environment but offered so much. Our son loved the outdoor play area, projects and songs with the teachers and playing with kids of different ages.

Anyone who is fortunate to get an open spot at Rose's will not be disappointed. Our family had nothing but good experiences.

My son has been attending TLE since he was about 22 months old. Before that, we had a nanny that we…read moreloved, but I felt like my son needed to be around other kids and have a bit more structure and formal learning in his day. When we toured TLE East Northport, we immediately felt like it was a warm and inviting space. The Director, Miss Elena, met with us for over an hour and has continued to be engaged and dedicated in conversations about our son's development. In the time he has been at TLE, our son has blossomed and grown in so many ways. From reinforcing learning we do at home, to teaching him so many new and exciting things, the teachers at TLE are kind, professional and most important to me, loving. He has so much fun at school and has been enriched by the friendships he's made and the things he has learned. TLE is truly a wonderful addition to any parents childcare village.

Unfortunately, my experience with this daycare has been very disappointing, and I feel it's…read moreimportant to warn other parents. 1. Teachers' attention. Children are often left without proper supervision, especially when they cry. My child was bitten repeatedly for three weeks in a row. Instead of addressing the issue directly, the administration said they had bought a book for the teachers so they could "learn" how to prevent such situations. But these are basic skills every caregiver should already have when working with children. 2. Food. The menu includes a lot of sweets and processed foods. I personally saw children being given Oreo cookies. There was even a case when the milk was close to spoiling. This is absolutely unacceptable for children's nutrition. 3. Water and milk. Children are regularly given very cold milk and water from the refrigerator. Even when I brought my own water and left it separately, I would still find it in the fridge at the end of the day. As a result, children often get sore throats and coughs. 4. Temperature in the classroom. Several times I noticed that the rooms were very cold: teachers were wearing jackets, while the children sat in shorts and were freezing. This happens quite often and raises serious concerns about the comfort of the environment. 5. Parent communication app. The app almost never works properly. For months, their iPad would shut down after just one hour of use. Even after replacing it, the problem remained -- updates are not entered on time, and parents don't receive information in real time. 6. Formula and basic needs. When my child first started, she was still partially on formula. In the application form, I filled out all the details to help her adapt smoothly. However, I was told that "the daycare doesn't have hot water" to prepare the formula. This is absurd, especially considering they also accept infants. How can a daycare operate without such a basic necessity? After some unpleasant conversations, they eventually allowed it for a while, but the very fact that this was an issue shows a lack of basic readiness and care. Conclusion: In my opinion, this daycare fails to provide the basic safety, nutrition, and comfort that children deserve. Parents considering this option should think very carefully before enrolling their child here.

But also as a parent, I can say that this establishment is committed to the children. That is the most important thing to me. They love the kids. The staff work very hard to create an atmosphere for the children where they can come, be safe, learn, receive nourishment (both physically and emotionally) and receive love. The owner is the best. You won't find anyone who loves the kids more, outside of the parents (of course).

She loved all of her teachers, loved all the monthly themes and arts and crafts. She ALWAYS came out of school with a smile on her face. As a parent, I felt very comfortable knowing Peanut's was a safe environment with teachers and Directors who truly care about the well being of all of their students. My son is currently enrolled in the 2's program. He has grown so much since the start of the school year; I am already sad thinking about when my Peanut days are over. My son LOVES his teacher and co-teacher. When the teachers greet his class in the morning, my son lights up, smiles so big and rushes to get into the gate. As a Mom of a 2 year old boy, I couldn't ask for anything more, to see my son so excited each school day. I love that both Directors are involved in the classroom and know all the students names. They have been fair and communicated well over the past three years. Peanut's has become a special place for my kids and I am truly grateful!

for my one shift at Little Lambs, this crooked, wealthy Massapequa lady Yeseniah overcommunicated…read moreeverything over multiple phone conversations except one detail that I followed up on in the car ride over- I would not be getting paid for "training" for at least a month! she clarified that it's a trade for the background check. some expensive background check! so she wanted me to commit to I think 30 hours a week for 0 pay for at least a month. on the phone prior, she had told me pay was $15 hourly for the first few months than a raise. it was an awful way to start, I was clearly not okay. I clearly needed a job as I was in touch with her for months, with no car, and she took advantage of that. Yeseniah and the other worker, I think named Lady, demonstrated that have no education or know-how in working with children with autism and I did not think they were appropriate with the one autistic child of the bunch (I'm also on the spectrum). This poor little girl was not okay, mostly screaming and covering her ears the time I was there until she was left to just hang out with the adults and do her own thing while the other kids went in the playroom. because that's exactly how ASD goes. after the shift, I called Yeseniah a week later and threatened to report her to the Department of Labor if she did not give me my due payment for my one shift. gratefully I got it! So I'm writing this because I know teenage girls are gonna look into that position, get robbed and think it's normal. Ladies, DONT GET EXPLOITED! dont let anyone mess with your money. Little Lambs FB page is under Yeseniah's name, not listed as a business, with no google page.

As a new mom and new to the neighborhood, I sent my daughter to this daycare because it was so new…read moreand clean looking. I expect my child to get sick (which is nobody's fault) but she was out for 1.5 weeks and the only time the director reached out to me was to ask for payment, not a concern or knowledge that my daughter was out for so long. COVID came along, the owner/directly withheld money from our tuition as cleaning fees and credit. I really did not want to go back but covid was a mess to find new daycares so I let both my children go for the summer to utilize the credit that she withheld from me. They leave their school bags outside in the sun before pick up time, a possible "rodent" or animal chewed through my daughter's bag (I don't care about the bag but it's kinda gross to have rodents crawling my children's belongings) but according to the owner, it's impossible. So it must have been either my pet goldfishes or 3 year old son who chewed it out...since it was "impossible"to have rodents outside their building. Friday was pizza day. I gave pizza money but they miscommunicated somehow and didn't feed my daughter. When I tried to talk to the owner, she put her hand in my face and told me "it would never happen again and I had to drop it". Even if I had forgotten to pay, would it be so terrible to feed a child with the half slice of pizza you ordered if she did not have anything to eat? In the beginning of the summer, the teacher told me my son had an accident in his pants, fine, whatever, it happens with kids. Two months later, they returned a bag of soiled clothes to me. It would have been better if they just tossed it. Send in labeled lip balm and sun screen they say, it will be applied if they go out later in the day. Forget it, by the end of the summer, all my sunscreens were brand new. There were many great teachers that worked here but most have left. It's a beautiful new and clean place with lots of potential to be great, unfortunately, when you only look at $ and not use your heart to care for the children that parents trust you with, it will show right through. I spent a few seasons here because I really wanted to like it, all the parents including myself were ultimately disappointed in the management of this daycare.

And she also said it was "weird" that I asked her if they have cameras that families can use to check in on their babies during the day. This was a deal breaker for us we chose another facility who was willing to be transparent with you. transparency is so important when you are dealing with infant parents.
