TPD will forever be our favorite memory of Forest Hills and New York! Our two children were there…read morefrom mid-2020 to mid-2022 and we left only because we moved out of the state. We first found this gem because COVID restrictions shut down our previous daycare and forced us to find a new care option, but in hindsight, it was such a blessing in disguise and a transformative experience! The owner and teachers were so loving and caring - they prepared freshly-cooked meals from scratch everyday, ensured our young children propelyr rest after lunch and avoid being over-stimulated and going home cranky and difficult for the parents. Though not a Montessori school, they used many similar techniques and spirits. For example, they emphasized learning through five senses, taught practical life skills (like dressing oneself) and emotional regulation along with academic knowledge, involved children in hands-on real-life projects such as making their own snacks (with ingredients prepared and process guided by the teachers like squeezing orange juice), encouraged older children to help younger children, encouraged self-expression through weekly talent shows, and fostered a community among the families by facilitating weekend playdates. The experience was entirely different from the traditional programming in a chain daycare center. As a result, one of our children transformed from a timid child to an outgoing one, and we were embraced into a strong community with long-lasting connections.

We always say it takes a village to raise a child, and Toadlers Pond was a HUGE part of our…read morevillage.  We sent in our son when he turned two years old, and due to the pandemic had never been in a daycare environment before, or even had many playdates or much exposure to other adults, and over the next year and a half the TPD staff worked with him on language, eating skills, coordination, confidence, and so many other things we didn't even expect (like facts about the different U.S. states).  What originally attracted us to Toadlers Pond was the passion and caring of the staff which was evident from our initial video tour, plus the incredible, fresh home-cooked food, which our son still misses very much and talks about.  We also credit TPD for (at least) 80% of our son's speedy potty learning progress, and helping him become a "big boy" about this typically anxiety-inducing chapter of toddlerhood, all with ease and a positive approach, keeping us up to speed every step of the way.  The staff were fantastic about giving us a glimpse into our child's day through pictures and videos posted on their private facebook group, and we absolutely loved the Friday talent shows.  By the end of his tenure at the Pond, our son was beyond prepared for the next step in his education, and we appreciate everything Toadlers Pond did to get him there. We will always be Toadies at heart, and can't wait for our daughter to become a Tadpole too!

My daughter has been part of the Babysteps family since she was 2, and it has been such a special…read morepart of her growth and development. She's had wonderful teachers and staff, and the community of parents is truly unmatched. When I first toured daycares, I wasn't happy with our options -- but after just one visit and conversation with Ms. Julia, I knew this was the right place. She runs a tight ship: practical, reasonable, and always communicative with prompt responses. I also love that she knows every child by name across both locations, which says so much about the care she puts in. They offer so many specials soccer, dance, Spanish, and include the parents in special events. It's a really wonderful community. Even though we didn't get a spot for pre-K, Ms. Julia still offered us an aftercare spot and went out of her way to help find accommodations to get our daughter there from her new school. She also saved us a spot for summer camp next year, which we're so grateful for -- it means our daughter will still get extra time with her friends from the past two years. Babysteps is truly the perfect place to trust with your little one.

It feels like a home away from home :) Director Julia is very creative and proactive when it comes…read moreto engaging the kids. There are dance classes, zumba, sign language classes, Magic shows, petting zoo and more. Teachers are very warm and always looking out for the best interest of their "friends". Kids have circle times and lots of educational activities; they learn a lot every day. When the weather allows it, kids go for walks or buggy rides in the neighborhood. Also their spacious private playground provides lots of fun. LOVE Baby Steps

I had the pleasure of enrolling my child in this amazing preschool and I cannot speak highly enough…read moreof it. The staff are highly educated and knowledgeable, and it is clear that they are passionate about their work. They create a wonderful environment that is both nurturing and stimulating, and my child has thrived under their care. Love our teachers, Ms Olga and Enas. If you are looking for a place where your child will be well-cared for by warm, kind, and educated staff, and where safety is paramount, then this is the place for you.

(the following is a slightly modified version of the letter I sent directly to Beth Jacob. It…read moreencapsulates what I admire and value in the school.) Dear Mr. Friedman & Ms. Dina, I hope you are well at the end of this most unusual school year. As an educator who transitioned all four of my college courses to remote learning mid-semester, I know firsthand how challenging and time-consuming it has been. Nevertheless, Beth Jacob responded with its trademark thoughtfulness, diligence and care, and I wanted to thank you all for the wonderful job you have done. In fact, over the past four years, both my children found in Beth Jacob the ideal first step to embark on their educational journeys. More specifically, I'd like to thank Ms. Stacey and Ms. Olga for their incredible work this year. Ms. Stacey, by every measure, is a first-rate educator who brought to each class (both in-person and online) a winning combination of structure and sweetness. After classes went remote, I had the rare pleasure of observing Ms. Stacey's teaching on a daily basis, and always walked away impressed by her patience, preparedness and care. It is no easy feat to keep four and five-year-old children seated at a laptop, let alone learning! It should be noted that Ms. Olga was exceptional as well. She not only brought her great artistic gifts and a bilingual element to the class, but exuded a warmth and generosity which, along with Ms. Stacey, established the classroom community as a place of safety and kindness for all. While it breaks my heart that my son's Pre-K year was modified due to the Coronavirus pandemic, my wife and I can't be anything but grateful for the time our children spent in your care. Sincerely, Jared Harel-
