I'm embarrassed to admit how long we sent our son to this daycare, but it felt like truly we had no…read morechoice. There's a serious lack of options for infants in Forest Hills, unless you can get into the Almighty PreSchool of America (we were on the wait list for 10 months with no luck). Anyway, this daycare is very convenient to our home and we always knew that our son was well taken care of and safe. And that's the bottom line which is why he stayed for the 6 months or so until he turned 2 and could go to a toddler school. There were other problems, though. It started with the first meeting during which our very active little 1.5 year old was running around the small studio apartment exploring. She was clearly thinking of what price to charge and gave us the rate of $275/week. Fine. No problem. And then a few weeks later, she calls me in to say he's being so active and needs so much attention and now she needs to charge $295/week. OK, fine. For his safety, fine. But it was clear that we were paying more than the other parents. And the hours were supposedly 8-6 but she asked us to come at 5:45pm. If we arrived after 6pm we had to pay $20 extra. Bottom line is that we felt very much taken advantage of by Maria and we also felt that while our son was safe, that she really didn't like him all that much. She said that she's never had a child so active in all her years. Really? He's pretty much a normal little boy, no ADD or ADHD issues or anything. This was such a frustrating experience and if you have to send your child here, it'll be fine and I understand that the options truly SUCK. But if you can find a way to go elsewhere do so.

When we were first looking for a daycare for our son, we found it is limited to get a full listing…read moreto speak of what was available in F. H. So I thought I would post this review to help out other parents. My son has been with Jamie's family day care for ten months. He was crying at beginning but he got a lot of help from Ms. Maria and her assistant Edith. My son was gradually blended into this new place after two-week enrollment and shown some happy face at the end of the day. Not only do they help to foster my son's social growth but his academic growth as well. I have seen my son coming home with new things that he has learned, from the basic ABCs and 123s to who our president is and where he lives, to counting in different languages both English and Spanish (the primary language in Jamie's family day care is Spanish). All meets our expectation, even more than amazing. I also love the fact that we don't have to bring food and that there are home-cooked meals provided. I don't know whether Maria uses all organic ingredients though, my son loves it and eats well. In addition, the day care keeps things interesting with daily walks (if weather permits), trips to the parks, bookstore and supermarkets. These are just the examples of how Ms. Maria and her team are more than just teachers in a classroom. They really take every opportunity to teach children about life. I believe Ms. Maria and her staff take great care of the children. Jamie's family day care may not be for everyone but it is a small, warm, clean, safe environment. We found that to benefit our son.

I really loved the care my eldest son received at Seeds & Sprouts for a few months earlier this…read moreyear. Ms. Davanna is running a wonderful business. At first it may seem like, "Whoa, a daycare in an apartment?" But Ms. Davanna and her team have truly curated a space that is clean, bright, welcoming, and fosters learning. When I brought my 3-year-old son for a brief tour before enrolling him, he was immediately drawn to the artwork on the walls and the toys that were available. What I especially appreciated: - the small class size, optimizing teacher-student interaction and care - engaging lessons and materials for the students - Ms. Davanna has a calendar and varies learning themes each month which is really great - multiple opportunities for learning while playing - very limited screen time - healthy and nutritious meals with weekly menus that offered variety so that kids didn't get bored - use of the Brightwheel app to keep all communications and sharing of updates in one place - Affordable price point, considering the number of hours of care and the quality of care provided Ms. Davanna herself is very professional and it's clear that she's an experienced educator. As the class had a range of ages, the teachers differentiated instruction to meet each child where they were. Having been a teacher myself for several years, this is NOT an easy task, but Ms. Davanna and her team made it look effortless. My son was potty-training at the time, and because he's only 3, was going through a range of big feelings each day. The teachers were very patient with him, and kept me updated on his daily progress and shared pics of his activities via the app which I appreciated. Ms. Izzy is really loving and thoughtful, and Ms. Jennifer was always willing to go above and beyond. I was even able to bring my younger son to the class for a day just to see what it was like for him, and he really enjoyed himself. I can tell that my elder son had a delightful experience and even though we live in Atlanta now, he still talks about his time at Seeds & Sprouts with fondness and excitement. I really wish I could have brought Seeds & Sprouts with me when we moved, cuz it's a struggle to find quality care down here! Overall I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great place for their kiddos.

They have an open-door policy, a curriculum which includes 2-4 pages of Homework 3x a week and class trips. I love that it is multi-cultural and there are enough teachers per class so children get the individual attention they deserve. My only reason for only giving 4 stars is that it is a cash-only business. In this day and age no one pays cash for services so I would absolutely love it if they took cards or auto-debit. The other improvement I would like to see is online communication between the teachers/director via their site or e-mail because working parents do not always have time to call and speak to them while at work. Other than these two suggestions, I love this place & would recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent preschool.

Also, they have universal pre-K WITH after school available until 5.45pm and are actively working to get universal 3-K as well. Tuition is accessible to ALL. This is great for working and non-working parents. Staff is amazing! They're all committed to taking care of the kids and always provide very personalized feedback on my kids. They adapt their care to each kid, each personality and make sure everyone feels good. They were particularly helpful for potty training, and very patient too! The new director is really making sure all key information are well communicated to the parents and is always seeking for enhancements. They have a curriculum for each of the classes, starting at 2 year old. A typical day starts with music, breakfast and circle time. Then they have a learning activity. They would spend time outside is weather permitted. They do art projects, learn songs, dance,... Also, they have a huge outdoor private playground (very rare in Manhattan) where the kids can play. They have a lot of toys from slide to seesaw and even scooters. They provide lunch as well, made by a wonderful cook on the premises in an actual kitchen. Week menus are provided to the parents (there is always a fruit for desert). I'm so happy we discovered this daycare and I'm confident that my kids there are growing so well and are very safe. Also note that they handled the Covid crisis perfectly. They organized recurrent zoom meetings (3 per week) to make sure the kids don't disconnect from school. Thanks to the great staff again! I encourage anyone that is looking for a daycare to visit Eisman and see for themselves.

I recently removed my children from there after three months of their being enrolled. The main…read morereason was that one of my children kept coming home, saying that he was afraid to go to school, and considering that he had attended a different preschool prior to this, and never said anything like that, we were worried, we informed his teacher who basically dismissed it. We informed the Director of the school who accused me of lying. If I knew then what I know now I would have recorded every conversation I had with any member of that school especially the teacher of the three-year-olds. I am 100% positive that this teacher has lied to me and lied about certain things at least twice, and an audio recording of our conversations would validate everything I have to say. I protected my kids by pulling them out. You should protect yourself going in there. Legally, in the state of New York, you are allowed to record your conversations with another person without them knowing that you were doing so. This is a law that changes on a state-by-state basis. If I am a liar, then nothing bad happens if you record the conversation because there would be nothing to report. But since I'm positive I am not lying and I suspect I am not the only person who's gone through this, you should go ahead and start proactively recording your conversations with the teacher, because when they accuse you of lying, you can prove that you were telling the truth.
