Both my kids are attending Williamsburg Northside--my 5 year old is currently in Kindergarten but…read morestarted in the preschool and my 3 year old is in the preschool now (in the 2s program). I can't say enough amazing things about this school. My first kid is a shy kid and had a hard time starting school but he had three incredible teachers (which us parents literally referred to as "angels"--they were so sweet and loving). One teacher sat with my kid on her lap every day for three weeks making him feel comfortable and loved and eventually he started to love school. He made great friends-2 of which are still his best friends even though they attend separate schools now. The other parents were what made this such a stellar ear--seven or so smart, funny, warm women (many like me pregnant with their second child) who became friends and confidants throughout the year, who I looked forward to seeing at pickup and for playdates. We didn't think twice about reenrolling him for the next year. My second kid also had a hard time at first but has learned to love school-he has his first real friends and has really blossomed this year-talking more, understanding more, potty trained and most importantly, a good hearted and well behaved kid. The building is welcoming and the staff is always friendly. Even the receptionist knows both my kids names. Every day is full of learning activities including art, music, reading, cooking, building and playing in constructive ways both outside on the roof and inside in the gym. The teachers have created such a nurturing and enthusiastic environment. I can't imagine sending my kids anywhere else.

Northside's teachers are outstanding. Really amazing, warm, progressive school.

Sometimes we have to wait for soccer class to begin because the children are finishing up a book or activity. Just shows that the teachers really care about what they do and the impact they choose to have on each child in their class! There is a very large play area for children to play in that we use after hours for soccer. The toys and social atmosphere that they create really stimulate imaginative play and friendship with one another.

My child had attended pre-k in this school and the director really truly cares for the children…read more All the teachers are great. My daughter had delayed speech and wasn't speaking at the beginning of the year, but by end of the year became a chatterbox. They really set up the children well for kindergarten and truly take care of your kids. I moved a bit farther away but I wish all my children can come here. I strongly recommend. If your child needs help assimilating to school, they really are patient and help every step of the way. The director before school starts, helps give parents all the information on what to expect on the first day and is very good with communication.

The teachers are loving and have prepared her for her next steps in Kindergarten. The owners are two sisters that are just lovely people and clearly love what they do. I honestly cannot day enough wonderful things about his school! I wish there were 10 stars to rate this school. Sorry to leave it come June.

Both of our littles have gone here for preschool and I can't more highly recommend it…read more The teachers and administration are top notch, caring and well organized. You may have to win the lottery to tour the school, but it'll be worth the gamble. The location is uber-convenient if you live in Cobble Hill, Gowanus, boerum hill, Clinton Hill, Carroll Gardens or downtown Brooklyn. Nestled about 200 feet from the Bergen Street stop on the F train makes getting to & from Manhattan easy. Teachers come here from far & wide and want to enrich your younglings minds. Their syllabus is comprehensive and challenging which is perfect for next level education preparedness. Come here and you'll have a hard time leaving when the kiddos go off to their next big boy or girl school. Thanks Open House!

The front desk workers are super nice and amazing. They have to juggle so many change in schedules for so many families, it's impressive. They are straightforward and would call me for reminders on one off events. If anyone thinks they are cold, it's only because they have so much to do and a million calls saying their kids are sick. It doesn't mean they don't care. The school does everything they can to help make it work. We also purchased their violins and it has been working great. Any violin repairs, they would be able to do it here as well. I would recommend parents bringing their kids here.

We are so grateful for the amazing three years our son has spent at TLE! From the infant classroom…read moreall the way through preschool, he has grown, learned, and blossomed into such a wonderful little person. From the very beginning, Ms. Christelle and Ms. Chrissy took such great care of him in the infant room. They helped make those first days and months easier for us as parents because we knew he was being loved and cared for. Then came the Twaddler room with Ms. Sonyca and Ms. Kenesha, who were there as he became more active, curious, and independent. They were such an important part of that stage of his life. Ms. Shovanie in Preppers continued to encourage him and help him grow, and then we reached preschool with Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Emily. Seeing how much he has learned, how confident he has become, and how excited he is to go to school is something we will always be thankful for. We will always appreciate the love, patience, dedication, and memories that each of these teachers has given him. We truly could not have asked for a better daycare experience!

The best school by far that we tried for my toddler. Unlike other early school for development who…read moredoes an awful job and tells us in the end that all daycares are the same. This school was truly exceptional for us. They are on top of everything and the environment was just perfect for my child. The facility, the teachers, the director, even the owner were really hands on and trust worthy. My son in the beginning cried so much (even threw up) since he was traumatized from other just as expensive and private school/montessori/academy. The director told me "give us a month and everything will change" It really did! my son just loves it there and he flourished dramatically within his first month. They care immensely for the children esp Corrie the director. She treats each and everyone of the kids there like family. My son's teachers Ms. Nicole, Ms. Kelly, Ms. Michelle were lovely professionals. From a boy who doesn't even want to get out of the car as soon as we park there to a happy toddler who wakes up excited to go to school rushes out of the car to run to his classroom it was just a miracle for us to see him grow this much. Thank you for everything.

Dale's is amazing! I cannot say enough great things about Dale's!!…read more We brought our then 10-month-old daughter there after a friend had recommended them, and our previous (much larger) nursery school was closed for months due to DOE violations. While larger facilities might have a few perks, the smaller, more intimate caregiving space seems much better for our daughter and the other kids at Dale's. They have the skills and intimate group size to care for the kids and teach them things that we do not have the bandwidth or know-how to teach at home. After a couple of short months, our daughter was speaking to us in rudimentary sign language that she wanted more food, was all done, wanted milk, etc. This communication meant that she wasn't getting frustrated that we were unable to read her cues, and we could be better caregivers and parents. She loves it there! She gets so excited to go to school, and the communication from everyone at Dale's is fantastic. They teach her colors and shapes and go on field trips to the children's museum and park. I cannot recommend them enough. If you want your child to be in a caring, safe, and fun environment, go to Dale's!
