I never used a cleaning service before but when we had a baby it was just a luxury that really helped us. I never have to worry about anything, I get a text msg so I can communicate with my top-notch cleaner, Nicole B. if I need to tell her something. I've used them now for almost 4 years and in that time, we had 3 cleaners, on the rare occasion something has happened, they are able to switch on the go, with no lapse in service to me at all, and the cleaning is just as good. I really like my present cleaner Nicole B. for various reasons; she is a lovely person, she is reliable, she cleans well! But she also improvises; sometimes I run out of various supplies (thanks Covid) she adjusts no problem. The day she cleans is our favorite day. I've also used them for nanny searches etc and while I didn't end up hiring one from Apiari, the quality of the candidates was great. Overall, extremely happy and have never looked back.

My son (18m), has been with Maven Valley Prep for a month now and I couldn't be happier. Maven…read moreValley Prep's owner, Polina, has been wonderful. When we enrolled him, she sent a list of questions to help get to know him better. It asked about his favorite meals, games, music, his nap time routine, and any behaviors they need to watch out for. The space is quite beautiful, with Montessori toys and furniture throughout. The teachers are warm and nurturing. Since joining Maven Valley Prep our son has learned new skills like washing his hands, cleaning up his toys after he plays with them, and sitting to eat at his toddler table for the full meal/snack (versus needing to be in the highchair). His days are full of activities like reading, arts and crafts, music, free play, and outside time. I love that he spends so much time outside. Maven Valley Prep takes the children out twice a day on most days. They do stroller walks and trips to the playground. Polina is incredibly honest about our son's day as well. She's not afraid to say when he had tough moments, was injured, or fought with another child. I appreciate this so much as it helps me parent him better. They use Brightwheel to record activities and send tons of photos of him enjoying all of the different activities at daycare: eating delicious meals; coloring; painting; reading; going outside; napping; and playing in the jungle gym at daycare. It's so nice to check in during the day and see that he's having a blast, being well taken care of, and is so engaged in all different kinds of play.

MVP is the best!…read more Our daughter started out in the toddler program and now is in the 3K program. We also be keeping her at MVP for UPK. What a blessing to have found Polina and her whole team, they take such good care of our daughter and she has learned so much. They are flexible and are open on most DOE holidays if you use the after care program. I could not be happier with MVP and you should know your child is being well taken care of.

Bumble Bee daycare has been an awesome experience for my kiddo who started to go there when she was…read more3.5 months old! Ziggy was a tiny little thing who basically just loved boob and refused the bottle at home with me... so here i am exasperated and concerned and just needed the reassurance that mah baby is gonna be fine.. and that's what i loved about bumble bee ! from the start, Eunice has been clear, concise, responsive, and accomodating to all my questions and needs when we discussed starting Ziggy at her daycare. I always got a quick answer via email or text, and i loved that every part of the daycare ( toddler and infant) section was open to touring so you don't have any surprises or weird expectations! once we started that first day i knew she was in good hands. The caretakers are all super friendly and experienced and i loved that they gave me "bottle report" updates those first few days to make me feel at ease. Zigs took to bottle after 2-3rd day and after that she was draining me dry til she started solids! They have a 2 to 1 ratio at this daycare for infants and that's reassuring for all parents with young ones to know that they are keeping close eyes on them and they are totally flex to transition and care for your baby the way you want them to. I loved that she also had outdoor time on the nice days in the yard and i see her smile at drop off every morning so i know she loves her time there. thanks to bumble bee for making my infants first few months of social life interesting and priceless with the care u gave her !

Bumble Bee provides a warm, caring, and supportive environment for infants and toddlers- highly…read morerecommend! It was truly our daughter's home away from home. She attended BB full-time - first in their infant room starting at 4 mos and then in the toddler program through 2.5 yrs (she only left for 3K). Eunice, the head of the program, is wonderful. She is accessible, helpful, always available for a phone call, and very hands-on, so she knows each child well. The staff in both the infant and toddler room are great. They supported our daughter (and us, as first-time parents!) through her many transitions (bottles to solids, crawling to walking, nap schedules etc). Our daughter was always excited to go to daycare, and was in good spirits at pickup. Other things we appreciated: private and spacious outdoor space where they also do winter and summer activities (splash pad, picnics, etc), food provided/included in tuition once your child starts eating solids (the convenience of this is not to be underestimated...), very flexible in general, photos/videos/messaging easily accessible via Bright Wheels app. BB is a special place!

Man, sending your kid to be taken care of by strangers can be tough…read more I was fully prepared to hate every daycare we toured and subsequently convince my wife that I should quit my job and take care of our little girl full time, because no one was good enough to do the job.* But we loved Changing Tomorrow as soon as we walked inside. The location may not be ideal (for us or in general - it's located in a construction-clogged area of Downtown Brooklyn), but the facilities are excellent, and the people are wonderful. It is brand new, clean, and very well run. It's as if they took stock of the bougie parents in the neighborhood, and decided to create a daycare that offered everything they might want: Flexible schedules and long hours (open 7 am to 7 pm). Nurse on site at all times. Organic food catered for the kids (after they turn 1). Montessori methods that focus on the cognitive, social, and emotional development of your kid. Frequent activities like dance, soccer, finger-painting, and trips to the park when it's nice out. Best of all, they have monthly meetings where they take suggestions for what the parents would like to see from the school, and they actually try and implement those suggestions where it makes sense. (I wish those meetings weren't at 7 am, but I suppose getting up early is part of being a parent.) We're only a couple of weeks in at this point, but so far I have to say that the staff is just amazing. They put up with the minute and specific instructions we (and I imagine all parents) throw at them on a daily basis, and they are shockingly on top of the Brightwheel app that they use to keep us updated on our child throughout the day. Yesterday I got over a dozen photos and videos of my daughter, plus updates on her naps, feedings, diaper changes, and more. My kid still cries every time I drop her off, but it's really gratifying to see a smiling photo of her just a little bit later so I know she isn't crying all day. A huge thank you to Meridith the Education Director, Ms. Victoria, Ms. Janiece, Ms. Maria, and all the other wonderful people that work here. I'm constantly surprised that the teachers in the other age groups (that don't spend the day caring for her) recognize my daughter on sight when we walk in the door; it makes the place feel a lot more like a family. Thank you all for taking care of our daughter; I know it isn't easy, and we really appreciate how much you care. It makes it a little bit easier to leave her with you. ____________ *And also because I'm a progressive man that knows my wife can handle the breadwinning duties in this modern world. Definitely not because I'm tired of working and need to be supported in this lifestyle to which I've become accustomed.

Enrolling our daughter in Changing Tomorrow Academy was one of the best decisions we ever made…read more We had originally planned to send her to a daycare just around the corner, but when that fell through were in a desperate situation. Amanda was so wonderful and found a place for us at very short notice. We weren't expecting much -- we were just happy to have found somewhere so quickly -- but our daughter flourished and thrived under their care. Amanda was extremely communicative and seemed to know everything about how our child was developing. She is so great with the children and just an extremely positive force to be around. We never worried for a second when our daughter was there. The teachers were wonderful at helping her adapt to her first daycare, and then helping her transition to the toddler class. We got regular updates and photographs throughout the day that regularly made us laugh. They came up with really great ideas for activities. They calmed us when we were worried and gave us tips to help her along. The facilities here are amazing, but the staff are what makes it great. We HIGHLY recommend Changing Tomorrow Academy and will be eternally grateful for how they took care of our little one.
