The staff are caring and communicative. They have a pretty good educational program at the pre-school too, and offer UPK during regular school hours. Two things to look out for - there is a steep staircase to get inside and another one to get to the second floor of the space. Also their outdoor play area is pretty small and there's construction happening right next door (maybe it will actually end at some point) so that's no ideal, but everything else is.

My two-year old attended the summer session at Bunny Hill's Bay Ridge location. My wife and I…read morethought this would be a good way to introduce her to a school setting early. She's also an only child and doesn't get a lot of opportunities to be with other children her age. I wanted her to attend half days to get her started, but that wasn't available. It was from 8:30am to 3:30pm. Too long for a toddler who never went to school before in my opinion. The first few days was a bit rough. My daughter cried a lot, but the teachers were very patient and accommodating to her. The turning point was the fourth day. She couldn't wait to go to school in the morning and when I picked her up in the afternoon, she didn't want to leave. I also appreciated the school using an app to update me on her daily activities. I began looking forward to every photo and video. Bottom line: The school is a bit pricey, but worth every dollar. My child was in a nurturing school, learning in a clean and safe environment and surrounded by caring teachers and well-behaved (for the most part) children. Advice to other first-time parents? Look at enrolling a year ahead for the fall session. Spots fill up fast. I thought enrolling six months ahead would be sufficient, but all that got me was on the waiting list.

They use an app where they keep you constantly updated throughout the day along with pictures. My daughter loved going there. We were very sad when our time was up. I was always fearful of daycares with all the crazy stories you hear but I felt 100% confident leaving my daughter in their hands. She also learned so much there. I intend to send my daughter to summer school here as well.

I appreciate how diverse this daycare is as well from the students to the staff, truly inclusive! The staff are truly dedicated not only to the babies whos lives during the day depend on them, but also to the parental units/families! They're approachable, understanding, and overall compassionate!

This was the best decision ever because it was a seamless transition from when he was there for pre-k. The faces are familiar and most of his pre-k friends also go there for AfterSchool! Patoir's prep has a great service where they pick up the kids from the local, elementary schools and bring them to the afterschool. If your child travels home by bus, then they meet your child at the designated drop off spot and take them to the AfterSchool also. Snacks are provided once they're there so you never have to worry that your child is hungry if they had an early lunch period at school. The children are always cleaned up before they go home so if they have any afterschool activities like dance, karate or music you don't have to worry that they'll be messy. Overall they seem to manage the different age groups pretty well and the kids all get along and look out for each other. A top tier service that I would definitely recommend!

The daycare has been open for many years and they have staff members who have been working there for around 10 years, which to me is incredible, and speaks volumes. The owner, Miss Marcia, is probably the friendliest person you will ever meet. They are just all such sweet people. They have been very flexible with us - my 6 year old son goes to them for after school care and they were willing to meet him at his school bus stop. They do a great job with him, getting all his homework done and encouraging his interests and hobbies. My daughter has been there since she was 4 months old, so everyone there is just part of her family as far as she's concerned. She runs to them in the morning, and on occasion doesn't want to come to me when I pick her up in the evening, she wants to be with them! You'd think it'd make me feel bad, but all I feel is how lucky I am that she loves it so much there! I really am a fan of the family-style daycare as I think it's great for the kids' social development. They learn so much from the older kids and it's really good for them to be in a mixed age group, all playing together. Our experience has been great. They are willing to follow any feeding guidelines you might have - I sent expressed breast milk daily with my daughter for her first year, and that was no problem for them. They've never tried to give me any unwanted advice or asked me to change the way I do anything. They are respectful and feel very much my partner in raising my child.

Ms. Angelina goes above and beyond for special occasions and activities, and pre-pandemic, planned field trips for the kids. We left for reasons unrelated to BK Tots, unfortunately, but I think it's a good daycare and I always felt safe and comfortable leaving my kids there, even when they were babies. I have no idea what the bad review on here is about. I can't imagine Angelina saying something nasty to a kid. That review just sounds weird. If I was going to complain about something, maybe it would be that some of the teachers for the babies didn't always speak much English which made communicating hard for non-Russian parents, but Angelina is always quick to answer messages I sent.

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.

When we were exploring local options, we knew our decision would be based on where we felt he would be 1) safe, 2) healthy and 3) loved. Everywhere we toured, we felt like he'd be safe and healthy. What set Two By Two apart was that we felt like he'd would be cared for by professionals who created genuine, authentic connections - as aunties, as kin. He was so little and our care priorities were more about him feeling seen, heard and addressed. Now that he's approaching Kindergarten, he's getting the same care while also getting support with socialization, learning emotional regulation, and the basics of academics (letter and number recognition, phonics). He has a group of close friends, uses feeling statements and is reading sight words and writing his name. All huge wins without robotic structure or impersonal instruction- which while inevitable in our school systems can wait until the elementary years. Two By Two continues to make progress in communication, family engagement and facilities. We've seen growth here and have been grateful for their request for feedback and impressed to see it implemented. Considering our care priorities and the experience that our son and we have had here, we will continue to recommend Two By Two to our neighbors and friends.
