I never post reviews, we were with this daycare for 5 years, two kids. It was wonderful at first…read morebut the staff changed, owners changed and it all went to shit. The teachers are horrendous, ghetto, do not take care of the kids like they should. It's a disgrace. The staff are like children themselves. Have their clicks and hang out at the front desk and create drama. Do not waste your money here. Spend the money somewhere else and get the quality of love and caring your child needs

I gave it another week and nothing changed except I was getting dirty looks from the staff and eyes rolled at me, this place has kids taking care of kids that clearly could care less to take the extra step!!

I am always greeted with a smile and everyone is so friendly. My daughter who is now in Kindergarten had a great experience at Kiddie Academy. She is a shy and reserved girl who has developed so many fabulous friendships and loves learning. When she went for herkindergarten screening and the teachers complimented her and said they could tell she went to preschool.. :) My son goes here since he was 2. He is now 4 and I cannot believe how much he has learned. He is so smart and comes homes so excited everyday to tell us what he has learned. He has also developed so many great friendships. I have a 1 year old and next year when he is 2 he too will be going to Kiddie Academy. I cann ot wait to watch him grow and learn. I love the teachers, the webcams and the great things my children are learning. They always come home happy... sometimes they dont want to leave when I get there to pick them up!!! :) Thank you for the wonderful job you guys are doing with my children :)

When my granddaughter was in the infant rooms, her pants were always black from the floors. She is 2 1/2 now amd the floors in her classroom are gross.

My oldest daughter was started there when she was 3 part-time, and went full-time (5 days a week, full days). Her growth in academics has grown immensely. This school is beyond amazing. My husband and I are both teachers and we are beyond happy with our choice for Preschool for our children. The teachers and staff are amazing; they are caring, loving, and teach them an all around strong curriculum involving how to be community member, how to share, and how to be responsible. All three of my children have had an amazing experience!!! If you are looking for a trusting Preschool that your children will love with an amazing staff look no further!

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.

If I could leave no stars, I would! My 4-year-old son, who has a developmental delay due to being…read moreborn premature, had 3 weeks off from his regular school, so I reached out to this place to accommodate him during that time. I was very clear about his needs in every conversation I had with them. I called multiple times to provide all the necessary details, and everything seemed perfect for him to start. He began on a Monday--a completely new environment with new peers, he a behavioral complaint. On Tuesday, it was described as a good day. On Wednesday, they said everything was perfect. Then, on Thursday, I got a call from the owner, Margo, telling me they were not a good fit for my son because he required more assistance. I was shocked and devastated, especially since I had explained his needs in detail before enrolling him. I was caught completely off guard in the middle of my workday and had to leave work in tears. What made matters worse was how Margo handled the situation. In the middle of our conversation, she walked out because we disagreed. She claimed that when she went to talk to my son, he didn't acknowledge her, yet when we left, he was saying goodbye to everyone. It wasn't just that the daycare wasn't a good fit for my son; it was the way the situation was handled and the lack of communication and respect throughout the process. I thought it was a good environment, but the lack of communication and respect was incredibly disappointing.

Thank you to the teachers for all of the communication about my son's day and how he's doing, for all the fun and creative activities they involve the kids in, for facilitating his learning and his friendships, and just for being positive, kind, patient, and caring people who gave me the peace of mind of knowing my son is in a safe and enriching environment every day.
