Miss Yvonne and Mr Howie have a safe, fun, clean and extremely nurturing day care center! Learn and Play Levittown was also awarded Best Dar Care on Long Island beating off big corporate day cares with deep packets and a HUGE franchise behind them so that alone is a true testament to the great job they are doing! Organic food served daily. Extremely flexible and the cost is phenomenal! I would have more kids just to be able to send them to Learn and Play Levittown.

My son went here for about 2 years and I just don't have enough good things to say about how in…read morefantastic this place is! He started when he was 10 months old and the teachers were incredible with easing him into a new setting to decrease the stranger danger phase. All the staff members are so accommodating and keep me updated during the day so it feels like I'm not missing out on a thing! (Extra bonus points for tolerating a very hands on first time momma!!! They never made me feel any kind of way for asking too many questions or making specific requests about food/changes in my sons routine!) My sons social and physical skills have developed so much since he's started and his little personality has been shaped by the lovely teachers as well! Highly recommend for anyone considering!!

I'm not someone who usually leaves reviews, but this occasion requires it, with the goal of helping…read moreother parents and the institution. At no point is my intention to discredit Little Leaves, but I can't stay silent about what happened, since after this very unpleasant situation, I unfortunately cannot recommend them. From the moment we visited the institution, they never mentioned any minimum requirements for children to attend, such as needing to be able to feed themselves, among other things. On the contrary, they told us they would take care of giving him structure, helping him with potty training, and his education. To me, it was "music to my ears," but in reality I feel it was more of a sales tactic than reality, since there are other negative reviews mentioning the same thing. My son only lasted three days at Little Leaves and, by the institution's decision, was expelled due to his behavior, without them taking any responsibility for their lack of professionalism, their lack of structure for welcoming new children, and their inability to handle children who were struggling to adjust to a new environment in less than a week. They simply stopped providing service without even allowing a reasonable amount of time before making such a drastic decision -- only 3 days. My son is a child who has received a high level of care and love at home, and from the moment he entered this daycare he didn't feel accepted. The teachers expected him to follow the same routine as the other children, who had already been there for a while. He had just turned two years old a month earlier, and this whole process was completely new to him. Expecting him to adapt within three days is something not even an adult manages in weeks. They made no effort whatsoever to help integrate him -- they simply isolated him from the group. What kind of care is this? Are they actually qualified to care for children? My biggest complaint is that Little Leaves is not prepared to properly welcome children. A new child needs support from the teacher, a proper welcome into a new environment, and an appropriate integration into a group he doesn't know -- exactly as they described it to us when they were offering us on the service, which turned out to be completely false. My son, who is a very sweet child, exhibited behavior he doesn't show at home: he was erratic, pulled hair, and bit -- things he doesn't normally do -- and suddenly, in this new environment, he did them repeatedly. This makes me think he wasn't being treated properly; no person changes so radically from one environment to another without a reason. Contrary to what I expected, all I received were complaints. They had me fill out a report that they didn't explain properly, and at no point did they guide me through the process. One of the teachers had the recklessness to say they needed to "keep the rest of the children in the room safe" -- an extremely strong and alarming comment, considering they are dealing with children, not criminals. It's one of the most irresponsible statements I've ever heard from an education professional. To the owner, I recommend reviewing your processes for welcoming new children, being transparent about expectations and the center's limitations, and better training your staff on how to communicate with parents. I feel deeply disappointed by the treatment we received and by the unpleasant experience I went through. Who can determine a child's behavior in just three days? How would you feel if one of your own children were treated this way?

She carefully chooses fun and appropriately challenging activities. The children are taught to care about each other and use their manners. Lisa has been extremely thoughtful and meticulous during the current COVD-19 threat. She altered her protocols and classroom spaces, indoor and out, to ensure the safety of her students and parents. My daughter loves Lisa and loves her school. She is not yet 3 years old but can recite and identify all letters, colors, and can accurately count up to 30. She has learned to categorize objects that help her make sense of her world and loves to sing and listen to storybooks. She plays so well with other kids and it is clear she has learned to share and be polite. I know she is cared for and is learning to be a curious, thoughtful, and empathetic young girl. I feel so lucky to have found Lisa's Loving Care. I highly recommend her Daycare especially with the added bonus of her reasonable cost.

My wife…read moreand I believe that being at Lisa's has been a contributing factor to her excelled development and how she has reached developmental milestones much faster than the average for her age. Lisa's is a small day care facility with about 12 or so children. Each child receives the attention they deserve and they all participate in activities from crafts, cooking, reading, learning and of course play time. Every day my daughter comes home and has learned something new. This past December we even started our son there at 4 months old. He is loved by Lisa and her staff as much as my daughter. In the warmer weather, Lisa's outdoor space is a place in which any child (or adult) would want to play. Lisa is very attentive to safety and regulations. You can tell that she cares about the well being of the children and will do everything to meet state requirements (and beyond). There are no lax rules at Lisa's. The rules are in place for reason - no exceptions. It helps you to know that your child not only is playing and learning every day, but that she/he is in a safe and caring environment. A sign your child loves being at Lisa's Loving Care? She frowns and pouts when you show up to bring her home! Although her space is limited, I highly recommend Lisa's Loving Care to anyone looking for a safe and attentive daycare in the Levittown area.
