I found this daycare on the state's OFCS website, via the search function/page (it's under the name…read moreMarie Bellevue; https://ocfs.ny.gov/programs/childcare/looking/ccfs-search.php ). There are two locations; my daughter was at the 115 E 31st Street site, and Ms. Tanya is the on-site operator there. When I called the owner, Marie Bellevue, I felt so comforted, and that she was a kind and caring person. Then I met Ms. Tanya, and immediately felt the love in the daycare. I saw how Ms. Tanya held and nurtured the children, that they were happy and at ease with her and each other, how they embraced and welcomed my daughter who was just visiting without any prompting or encouragement and knew that my daughter would thrive there (the place is also clean and organized, etc.). I too, felt at ease, heard, and respected by Ms. Tanya. My daughter started a few days before she turned 22 months old, rate was $200 per week, they accept payments through Zelle and CashApp, the hours are from 8:00 am - 6:00 pm, parents provided food (daycare provides water and juice), diapers/Pull-Ups, wipes, crib sheet and blanket for their children. Parents can leave their children's strollers, baby carriers and small scooters (and I imagine tricycles/small bikes) there. The entire house is dedicated to the daycare, and the daycare is monitored inside and outside with working security cameras. Ms. Tanya delights in the children and takes excellent care of them. She did not attempt to gaslight me into tolerating mistreatment and neglect of my child because "things happen in daycare" and "it's daycare, not babysitting or nanny service". At all times I picked up my daughter, she was clean, her clothes, hair and accessories were intact, she was happy to see me and loved her teacher, she was fed and not ravenous when she returned home and was excited to show me what she learned. When my daughter left, Ms. Tanya was teaching the children Spanish. My Shepherd Daycare is a comforting, nurturing, educational, and safe environment for young children to learn and have fun. I cannot thank Marie Bellevue and Ms. Tanya enough for their empathy, loving care, kindness, consideration, and the invaluable peace of mind they provided my child and me. While I was at work, my mind was at ease because I knew that my daughter was in a safe place, learning and having fun with her peers. If this daycare opened at 7:00 am my daughter would still be there; my daughter had to leave only because a change in my work schedule required that I find a daycare with an earlier start time. We love this daycare so much; I highly recommend My Shepherd Group Family Daycare to everyone I know who is searching for childcare.

The small group setting creates such a warm, personal environment where each child is truly seen and cared for. Erica and Brian are absolutely amazing, they treated our son like one of their own and made us feel like part of their family. They spend time outside whenever the weather allows, and our son was always clean, dressed, and ready for pick-up something we really appreciated during busy days. Their hours are convenient, and the care they provide is incredibly affordable for the quality and attention given. They go above and beyond to make birthdays and holidays feel special, creating memories that our son truly enjoyed. The daycare is always clean, well-organized, and safe, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our son was barely sick!! He learned through play and came home with amazing arts/crafts. We also loved receiving beautiful photos throughout the day and it was such a joy to see him learning, playing, and smiling while we were at work. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be loved, nurtured, and celebrated, we wholeheartedly recommend this place!

Our child has been with this daycare since 18months. He was at a different location with younger children then moved up with his peers to this current location. We have been with Daddy's Daycare since 2018 until present. We lived through the pandemic and I can say that we felt Vadim and his team have took all the precautions with safeguarding the children's welfare during the pandemic. Pre-screening checks, increased hygiene and cleanliness of the facility. This is true even before the pandemic. From the beginning, we always get messages, updates, pictures, videos about our son. They celebrate many of the holidays (Mother's Day, Father's Day, Winter holidays, etc) with parties, gifts, activities all decked out with props. They have a private outdoor play space with age appropriate equipment, water and other sensory play. Our son had a little graduation with his group earlier this month, celebrating him and his group. They made custom T-shirts, decorated the back play space and had a party! They did age appropriate activities to promote fine motor skills, arts/crafts, learning about hand hygiene through interactive play, the list goes on! Our son has made so many friends and he's going to miss his "school" and caregivers. Thank you to the caregivers for your love and care to the children.

My baby would never let anyone hold him and would freak out if anyone ever came near him. I brought him with me when i went on the tour and shockingly he went to one of the care takers and held out his arms asking to be held!!!!! That was the second I knew this was our place! It gave me so much peace and as weeks went by, I got even more confirmation that it was the best decision i made because he loves getting dropped off and i could see the happiness in his eyes. To this day, he still keeps his circle super tight, but he LOVES the staff here and they really do feel like our extended family. We love Home Sweet Home! The cherry on top is the elaborate and over the top holiday celebrations, lunches and photo shoots they offer us! Gladys and Amanda have truly been a blessing to our family!

My daughter is always clean, happy, and well fed at pick up. And the bilingual emersion has helped her learn counting and colors in Spanish as well as simple commands.

An example of this is the CPR training and team building events they provide for their team. 3. The services they provide from organic meals, to age appropriate activities and workshops to hosting events for enrollees makes their competitive and fair rates a value. Their small class settings and staff to child ratio ensures that our daughter is getting quality care and is in good hands. We are so thankful to have Home Sweet Home in our lives.

On this journey, we lost many deposits after just one week and it seemed no center could acclimate to the gentle and personalized care my son needed to grow.

They use positive reinforcement to direct the children. All meals are home-cooked. The entire experience has been one filled with joy, community, and happiness. I am so happy to have found them. My son's speech was delayed when he first joined and now he speaks more than ever. He comes home each day and shares new facts on a diverse set of topics and it even shocks me how much information he retains from the day. This is by far the best childcare center in the South Brooklyn area and I highly recommend it!
