My youngest is 13 months old and also started at three months. The teachers and administrative staff are wonderful.

Also they have an amazing director Lia who really cares about the center and takes parents wants and needs into consideration when making decisions. I cannot recommend Imagine DUMBO enough!

They prepare so many exciting activities for each day and my kids come home with a smile on their face. I'm sure regular school days are awesome too! Also, It's in the very convenient location!

We love Kiddie Korner. Our eldest started there aged 15 months and our youngest aged 7.5 months -…read moreand both continue to be very happy there (eldest is now 4 years old). Here's what we like: - Welcoming/warm atmosphere: the staff all seem to genuinely care about every child and support their individual needs. - Curriculum: with babies/young toddlers, we initially just wanted a safe and loving environment for them while we were at work. But we've also enjoyed seeing them learn and grow in every way. New concepts, numbers, the alphabet, etc - and of course, lots of songs - they cover it all. - Activities: art, yoga, "science lab", and Music Together - these have been great for our littles ones. - It's also nice to feel a part of the community, even though we're not Jewish. Many of the families are from different cultures/backgrounds. And it's kind of fun to hear your child pick up bits of Hebrew. The only real drawback is that October can be challenging with so many Jewish holidays (not all of them observed by other NYC schools). But we still love sending our baby and our preschooler to KK.

I would highly recommend Elaida's. I have had an excellent experience with all the teachers, staff…read moreand administration. I feel so lucky to have my child attending this preschool. She settled in seamlessly due to their care and attention and has learnt so much since starting. It is truly impressive. Every morning we are greeted with a chorus of warm friendly hellos and it is such a welcoming environment. My kids teacher is phenomenal, I have had the pleasure of seeing how she structures her classroom and makes all the activities fun and educational. I know my kid is in safe, caring and capable hands here. I toured many preschools in the neighborhood and Elaida's was my number one choice. Awesome school run by awesome people.

This place was a legitimate nightmare. I'm copying the letter I sent to the CFO below since it's…read morerelevant to anyone considering the school. I removed names and just included their titles. I received no response from the CFO (not even a denial of the request), which I think is telling. xxx Dear Mr. CFO, My infant daughter attended Explore & Discover from September - December 2018, at which point we pulled her from the program. I have dreaded writing this email because retelling this experience sickens me as a parent. I want to be clear that our early termination was forced based on the improper conduct of your staff. I am writing to request a refund of our $X,XXX deposit. My daughter had a tough experience at E&D. I was told at every pickup she was refusing to eat and yet the head teacher denied my request to come in and nurse her for meals (which is counter to what your Handbook encourages). I was also told at every pick up that my daughter was inconsolable and spent the day crying by the door, yet Head Teacher also denied my requests on 10/4/18 and 12/4/18 to come in to the classroom to help ease her comfort. Her responses ranged from "no" to "absolutely not". She denied me access even after I communicated that the director had agreed it was a reasonable request. As you know, this denial of access to my child violates Article 47 of the New York City Health Code as well as the New York State Day Care regulations. Frustrated by feedback that my daughter's distress was continuing (and having seen an increase in her anxiety at home - tantrums, hitting), I spoke to Head Teacher on 12/11/18 requesting classroom access again. She angrily responded that: - I had no right to enter the classroom - My daughter's poor transition to daycare was my fault due to my lack of scheduling, consistency, etc - My daughter likely wasn't a good fit for daycare - She could only offer my daughter so much comfort, she had other babies to take care of After this conversation, I reached out to Director and asked if we could have a joint meeting with Head Teacher. This was the third time I had approached Director about being denied entry to the classroom. I was told she had already spoken with Head Teacher and based on how well my daughter was doing, they no longer believed we had a problem and I would no longer need to sit in with the class. I found Head Teacher's report of my daughter's sudden turnaround alarming, given that it opposed what she had communicated to me earlier that day. Given Director's acceptance of Head Teacher's account, I could no longer trust my daughter's safety in the hands of your staff. As I explained to both the Director and GM, this is not an early cancelation as I attempted numerous times to make this situation work. I do not expect to be penalized for the bad behavior of your teaching staff and hope that you will agree to issue a full refund of our $X,XXX deposit.

After reading all these wonderful reviews from other parents we were really considering going to…read morethis school. However, after today we will seek else where. I happened to be at the park today wa group of kids from the school also happened to be at the park playing. Please take a look at the photos. Ever since they got there, one of the teacher or maybe TA sat on the bench the entire time, and was on her phone constantly, even with headphones on! Really? The only time I heard her discipline the group of students was when she literally yelled across the park...she didn't even bother walking over to them. If she's a head teacher for the classroom, I didn't know head teachers can relax during open door play time...that's a first for me. A little while after, I caught the other two teachers were also surfing on their phones....I was really surprised to see all three of them were busy looking at their phones. Considering this school is one of the most expensive school in the area I would think they have the best teachers...well...boy was I wrong. Another school also happened to be at the park too, and those kids were much older however they each had an adult with them and they were extremely engaging with the kids. Don't believe me? See for your self. A month ago, the owner did reach out to me and to let me know that the teachers in the photos will not be returning to work, however...I still see one of the teachers in the pic at the school yard just a week ago...On the other hand, I'm sure this was a wake up call for all the teachers there to make sure to leave their phones behind while at work. Either way, my son will not be coming to this school.

From the moment we toured, Loynett made me and my family feel so welcomed and comfortable. The entire process of getting my boys started was easy, organized, and filled with so much warmth. As a mother of two very young boys, I am naturally always worrying, especially when it comes to leaving my babies in someone else's care. Loynett has been SO understanding, compassionate, patient, and reassuring with me throughout this entire transition. Every interaction I've had with her has made me feel like she genuinely cares about my children and about how I'm feeling as their mom. Meeting Legend's teacher, Maria, made me feel even more comfortable. She was so sweet, gentle, and warm with my baby, and my toddler's teachers have been just as sweet and welcoming. The entire staff has truly made such a positive impression on me.loynett is actually one of the main reasons I even considered Childtime in the first place. She cared for my nephew years ago and made my sister feel the exact same waysafe, comfortable, and confident in where her child was being cared for. Now, years later, she has given me that same feeling with my own children, and that means so much to our family. It has only been the beginning for us, but I genuinely feel like I found the perfect place for my boys. Knowing they are surrounded by people who are warm, patient, and caring gives me so much peace of mind. Loynett and her entire staff have been AMAZING, and I'm so grateful for how welcomed and supported they have made our family feel.

The director, Ms. Loynett-Marie, is very passionate about providing quality childcare and she is quick to respond to messages via email or the app the school utilities for daily updates.

The managers listen well and make adaptations on the fly. The entire facility runs smoothly with two infant classrooms, a 1-2 year old classroom, a 2-3 year old classroom, and a 3 year old classroom. The teacher to student ratio is great (1:3 in the infant rooms, 1:4.5 in the upper room so far) and the teachers are always full of helpful information. They always take the time to talk if you have questions about your children's day and if you have questions about baby gear. One huge highlight is that there's a stroller room. Say goodbye to having to wheel an empty stroller home and having to grab it again before picking up your mini-me. Five stars because we have been dropping our son off here since it opened and he's not only had a great time but has also thrived under their tutelage. Also, it's in a great area so you can always stop by target or trader joes to grab stuff before pick up or after to make dinner at home.
