Country Children's Center is a daycare with several locations in the Katonah area. My son attended…read morethe Farm location for about 6 months before leaving to start nursery school this fall. There are a lot of really great reasons to recommend CCC. There are also some places I think they could improve. The best thing about CCC is the staff. My son was in the twoddlers room mostly with Mary Kate and Florence and he received wonderful care. They do projects and play. They bring the kids outside as often as possible. They really care for the kids and you can feel it upon entering the room. I can't say enough good things about all the teachers I met at CCC. CCC also has pretty good hours for working parents and flexibility in pick up and drop off times. This is the thing that I appreciated most about the Farm. My son was always with a teacher he knew and a few other kids to play with when I collected him. The size of The Farm is both a strength and a weakness. They're predictable and always staffed appropriately. Coming from a smaller daycare that is a real plus. However, the size also leads to broad rules to accommodate a lot of people. The meals are generic. The kids get special attention in their rooms but to the organization of CCC they are one of many. The weaknesses for me are in the price and in communication. We pay over $1500/month for three days a week of care. As with everything you get what you pay for and I think my son receives excellent care. He's always happy at pick-up. However, I would expect a push towards organic and local foods and nutrition instead of fish sticks and the like. They also ask parents to bring a 5 pm snack. That snack time causes issues at dinner time in our house. I try to provide a healthy snack and I would just say no but I don't want him to be the only kid without one. In regards to communication, CCC just needs to get with the digital age. The parents of their kids are from the digital generation. They still communicate mostly via paper and since my son isn't there Monday or Friday, we don't get our sheet until Tuesday morning. Then I'm scrambling to purchase a t-shirt they requested be brought in or something trivial. They could just email or text the classroom parents. They send an email with a daily roundup, that would be a great opportunity. Sorry for the lengthy review but I know when I'm looking for childcare, it's so helpful to hear from other parents.

I don't know what I would have done without CCC. Their dedicated, professional staff and their…read morewonderful program gave me the piece of mind while I worked, knowing that my child was safe, sound and happy. Thank you!

I was so happy with my tour that I was prepared to sign my son up for a full time position in the infant room. I accidently got one of the owners to share that the daycare is owned by 11 people that are involved in the same "spiritual organization". They shared some literature about their beliefs. The program is nondenominational. My post is to share this information, because it is not mentioned anywhere on the website, nor the reviews. The 3 stars is for lack of transparency.

The staff is so well trained, great with the kids, challenge them, expect and teach manners, are affectionate, and actually play with the kids. You can tell everyone there absolutely adores children. The facility is always clean. I love the toy selection! Very heavily focused on STEM play, fine motor skills, vocabulary, and nature. I've worked with several families who I knew prior to going to Thistlewaite, and see a dramatic positive change in behavior, focus, and how they interact with adults etc. I've been told it's expensive, but from what I've seen, it's worth every penny! One complaint: I enforce naps strictly. I noticed that they would let one of the kids I worked with get up and play when he really needed to be napping. But I know that's really hard with groups of little ones though.

We absolutely love Kiddie Academy of WP! We are a new family in Rye, NY, and welcomed our baby…read moregirl in May of this year. As working parents, we were eager to find the best care for her during the day. (Due to Covid, finding in-home care was challenging, so we had to look for daycares.) After extensive research- we enrolled our daughter here and could not be more pleased that we did! The hours are amazing and flexible. The teachers are an absolute joy and it is obvious how much they love each child. We get pictures throughout the day, and they also let us know which skills they are focusing on during their daily activities. We have an app that allows us to communicate with the teachers. This is where we can request they focus on a specific developmental need (more tummy time, etc), and inform them of anything they should be aware of (like teething or a rough night sleeping). No matter what time of day we pick our daughter up, we always are thrilled with what we see when we peek through the door. It is also great seeing every teacher in the school greet our daughter by name even if she is not in their classroom specifically.

Highly recommended. Our daughter was a one-year-old pandemic baby who -- unfortunately, due to the…read morecircumstances of Covid -- had very little outside social activity by the time she enrolled in Kiddie Academy. Leah, the director, and the whole team at KA made her adjustment incredibly smooth. Our daughter loved all the teachers and staff at the facility, which always felt well-kept, clean, and airy. The daily reports and photos are great, and as parents we always felt informed through emails, newsletters, and phone calls. At pick-up time, teachers would always take a minute to talk about how the day went. Everyone is so kind. The large parking lot is a bonus. There's no stressing about traffic or double-parking at the start or end of the day. We took our daughter out after five months but only because of lots of family engagements that would've kept her out anyway. We wouldn't hesitate to go back in the future.

An extremely congested and crammed daycare, with a bunch of mostly indifferent teachers…read more After we moved in from IL, I decided to enroll my daughter here as it appeared to be a safe option given the reputation of BH. During the 8 months my daughter was here, my experience ranged from frustration to extreme anger on an ongoing basis. Firstly, despite assurance of a 1:7 ratio, I often noticed a teacher alone with about 10-15 kids, in a bedroom size room. I rarely noticed a teacher completely engaged with a child. There certainly were a few teachers who were genuinely good and caring, but I thought, given the space and ratio constraints, it was almost impossible for a teacher to pay personal attention to an individual child and strike a rapport, which I feel is the most essential element of a quality daycare. Another aspect of my disappointment stems from the quality of education. Despite the high and lofty ideals advertised in the marketing materials. My 3yo daughter, who could count until 20, say all the alphabets, and was on the path to being fully potty trained, began regressing backwards in just a few months after joining this center. In the end, she could hardly count to 8, lost all interest in spelling, and started to have potty accidents 2-3 times a day. The center did not care despite my several complaints, and once the director even shrugged saying these things happen. Almost everyday when I dropped off my daughter, I had a deep pain in my heart for having to let her go through this. I let her stay there for 8 mo because I was helpless due to my job situation. She moved out, as soon as I had a first chance. For parents considering this daycare, I would recommend that you visit this center once or twice and evaluate it yourself. It will be hard not to notice the red flags. Best of luck with your little one.

The classes are super diverse and inclusive but more importantly, my sons were lucky enough to have 2 teachers that were absolutely excellent (Ms. Marcy and Ms. Shamel). They taught my boys so much - my 3 year old was basically reading and my older one was more than prepared for kindergarten. if you're lucky enough to get into their class, they will love your kids like they love their own. Beyond that, the school has fostered an excellent community among the parents who do not hesitate to chip in and help each other and who go out of their way to have social activities to bring the kids together. This is truly a special school with amazing teachers and community of parents.
