I can't say enough great things about PCEL!! My daughter has flourished so much since going there…read more The management and staff are very understanding, and treat your kids like their own. Mrs. Kelsy, Mrs. Rhabi, and my daughter's classroom teachers made me feel VERY welcomed, and it immediately felt like a family. My daughter learns a lot, and has fun while doing it (which is exactly the balance I wanted for her). They also send you pictures of your child so you can get updates - which provides some peace of mind, and it's so nice to see the great activities and lessons your child is learning. It's hard to find a great place to trust with your child, but this place is truly a GREAT place with loving staff!

We came to the Co-Op mid-pandemic, an unusual decision. But after a few years of mounting…read morefrustrations at another center and hearing about PCEL from a parent who had defected, we decided it was time to make the switch. Our 2 children (5 and 2) are now thriving there, in spite of COVID. We all adore the Center Director, Ms. Rhabi, who is everything you hope for in a Director: warm, caring, communicative, available for questions and concerns, etc. Our son claims she is his best friend. The teachers in both classrooms are wonderful and have done a great job keeping us informed about what the kids are up to on a daily basis, even without the chance for any face to face interactions given COVID protocols. We have been especially impressed that our 5 yo has picked up math concepts (graphing objects) and our 2 yo can identify all the letters in her name and even name some classmates whose names start with some of the letters she knows. Beyond the curriculum, it is clear that the school models and expects the kids to demonstrate kindness and empathy towards one another. We wish the kids were able to spend a little bit more time outside in the winter (on days w/ reasonable weather) and that it were easier to get to know the community during the pandemic. Otherwise, we highly recommend PCEL!

I don't typically feel compelled to leave reviews for things, but in searching for child care for…read moremy firstborn son I was so nervous about making the right decision and I have been blown away by how much I love Little Inspirations. My now 10 month old goes to Little Inspirations Central Hyde Park campus and they have been an absolutely wonderful part of my "village." They were so kind as I made the transition back to work and to sending him to daycare. As a new mom, it was so hard for me to be away from my baby and they reassured me that I could come anytime and even potentially come in to breastfeed during my lunch break if desired. They will never truly know how much it meant to me that they were so willing to make the transition as slow as I needed. Not only this, but they were also instrumental in getting my son to try many different foods and accustomed to solid foods. Chef Andrius prepares delicious meals and snacks that my son seems to really enjoy! This was also a huge help! Fast forward and I now almost feel bad picking up my son because I know he is having so much with all of his teachers and fellow Wiggly Worms! At drop off, he lights up when he sees Ms. Antoinette and at pick up I get to see him smiling and having fun after another great day at school. All the teachers (from other rooms, too!) and directors know his name and our family. It is just such a warm and caring environment. I never thought I would reach the place to be raving about daycare on a review page, but here we are! They also incorporate Family Fun days which have been so wonderful. We got to see our baby in his element and meet the other teachers and parents, too. Now my only concern is what I will ever do WITHOUT Little Inspirations some day! If you are searching for childcare in the area, do not hesitate to send your child to Little Inspirations. I really cannot speak more highly of them for truly the most important of choices to make for your child. Kudos to the directors and teachers - I could not have personally selected more wonderful people to take care of my son!

They have such a parent involved structure and I appreciated knowing that I had my daughter at an accredited center with trained and professional staff. Hats off to Tess, Ms. Cole and Ms. Davis for a wonderful job well done. Not to mention due to the great early-childhood educational curriculum that this center provides, at 5 yrs old, my daughter is reading and peforming math at the 1st grade level. Early-childhood education is important and this staff not only believes this...they preach and teach it. Thanks again!!!
