They went on to say my 2.5 year old son would first have to enroll (so money would need to be exchanged and contracts signed) and then (and only then) would he (and only he) be allowed into their business. I was informed that I would not under any circumstances be allowed through their doors: "We would show him around but you can't go in with him." This is not recommended behavior by any child care policy setting body in the US. It's sickening to think that this business actually thinks this is an acceptable way to introduce toddlers to day care. It's actually alarming and disgusting.

We LOVE TLE in Yorktown! We joined in July 2018 because our old daycare closed. The teachers have…read morebeen amazing and I feel like they are almost friends caring for my son. They keep me up to date on all his developments, and I can tell how much they care about him. The curriculum for all kids is great and is teaching them at a very young age about art, music, language, science/math, etc. My sons language and comprehension has skyrocketed because of these folks and I couldn't be happier. Keri, the director, is wonderful and very responsive. Excited to be a part of the TLE family for many years to come.

We have been through all levels of programs and all teachers are kind and amazing! They truly care about the kids. My son has a severe food allergy so I was always anxious about that but we have never ever felt unsafe at any time. They are extremely accommodating and safety is their #1 concern! The administration is completely transparent when it comes to communicating about literally everything. Whether it's an update about Covid protocols or a reminder that it's pajama day! When I originally looked for daycares a few years ago, I called and emailed every place in the area. This was the only one that responded in a timely manner! I took about 3 tours and asked a million questions. Communication is so important! I chose CK mahopac because they overly communicate, challenging curriculum and kind staff. I highly recommend checking them out for yourselves if you are in the market for a daycare. They have great early mornings hours (6:30) which not all day cares have. I welcome any messages from any prospective parents! Creative Kids Mahopac treats your child like they are the most important person at all times.

All hell breaks and she treats you like the parents from hell, she Curses you out, talk down to parents and no matter how calm one remains, She must talk down to. Most of the staff are kind. Sad, people person skills are not here. I'm Sorry but, The cheaper, the price, is not worth having your child, or children hear your parents put down around your child or other children.. TOM TUMBS DOWN Beware!!!!!! Stay Away!!!!!!!! It's very sad, when a Director, who cares for children treats Adult like they are exclamation. I deal with people daily, even those who cannot control their language. But,Nancy BROPHY Made me want to course her out. But, the words and attitude was so insulting, I would never speak to someone so detailed unless, I was face with another male trying to hurt my family. As she did. I dislike making it seemed as through I was being vengeful but, I'm hurt that my daughter was crushed that all her friends were there. Now I wonder, if this is the way she spoke to my child. And yes I am anger. If you are smart beware, because I am sure, she'll find a reason to make it seem it's our fault. I admit to money delays but we did not deservee being treated this way.

We basically got buzzed in and were left to fend for ourselves and figure out what we were supposed to do. Upon our last day, no one bothered to change my son's diaper and he was clearly left saturating in his stool because he had a major rash on his bottom- something that only happens when sitting in it for long enough. It was so bad that when I picked him up, it leaked through and over his waist line and onto my arm... Never tell them it's your last day.
