My family moved from Baldwin to Bellmore last year and we quickly found after searching every option that we could not match TT baldwin in a three town radius. We continue to drive our children to Baldwin every morning. It is so valuable to have a place we can trust while my husband and I work in the City. I am a mother of three kids and had my oldest enter TT at age 2, she stayed until she finished the pre-k program and entered kindagarden. My child is more than prepared for her first year of elementary school. She loved every day of Tutor time and often asks to visit her teachers. My middle child started out in the infant room with Miss Jackie and Miss Denise at 3 months, I cannot not say enough about these two ladies. They go above and beyond to give the infants all the love and attention you could want your small baby to have. They sit with them, play with them, they even do arts and crafts. My middle boy, now 3, is so bonded to them because of the amount of care given to him from the start. The other teachers have really carried through as he has grown and developed. Currently, my now 7 month old has been exclusively with Miss Jackie, it gives me great comfort that he gives her the biggest smile and baby hug every morning when I drop him off. Both of my boys come home clean and happy everyday. I could not ask for more!

Some other director Briana was also extremely condescending and rude on the phone. The place just has a chaotic and heavy energy. Avoid.

Special thanks to Miss Gabby, Zanaida, Amanda, Ashley, Yassandra, and Nicole and Jess in the main office!

This is the daycare I would recommend anyone to place their child at. Sister Zainab and individuals…read morerunning this are not just amazing people but have taken all the necessary steps to ensure any child coming to this daycare would find it welcoming and that's what make this place amazing. The price they are charging are better than others for the services they are providing. Usually one would think when it comes to child care, you want the best and everything top quality with qualified people taking care of your child and that comes with a high price tag and guess what we saw that they have all of that but at a very reasonable price. There is a huge lack of Muslim Daycare and this daycare fills the gap for Muslim parents seeking an Islamic environment for their child. It's great for parents as well, if you come to pick up your child and need to make up salah there is a prayer area. May Allah bless this sister for opening up such a nice daycare and fill the gap for Muslim parents seeking such services.

The teachers are absolutely wonderful -- you can tell they genuinely love what they do, and it shows in how they care for the children every single day.

I can't say enough good things about St Marks Cooperative. This school is a hidden gem that I…read morewished I had found with my first born. Our first experience was in a parent and me class which met once a week. I felt welcomed by the teacher and the other parents. The children are introduced to circle time, snack time, turn taking etc. Parents are given an opportunity to socialize and talk with the teacher. It gave me a sense of community and allowed me to feel comfortable sharing concerns and parents an opportunity to learn from each other. It was a no brainer to have my son enrolled in the 3 year old class for the following year. My son is thriving in the class. I love that the class sizes are small, the teachers are certified and many have children who are alumni themselves. The directors are familiar with not only the children but the families. They help coordinate services and keep lines of communication open. I feel supported and know that my child is learning through play and hands on experiences. I love that this school is a cooperative as it gives a unique opportunity for parents and caregivers to be involved in the classroom. This has allowed me to observe my son in social settings and allows me to get to know the teachers and fellow classmates. If you are considering a pre school for your child I can't recommend St Marks Cooperative enough. Your child will thrive and learn and grow which will ultimately help prepare them for kindergarten.

I love dropping him off each day and knowing he is being cared for. Plus, he is learning so much. They sing, do art projects, play in the gym, and read lots of books. I know because I get pictures every single day. This school is a great place. It's more like a family. I look forward to watching my son continue to grow each day at Little Sponges! Edited to add: I read the reviews below and want to talk about the security. It is true that they bring your child out to you. They also buzz people in and use a fingerprint based computerized check in and out process. I love this safety element. I know that only the people that I played can get to and pick up my child. And I'm so thankful for this security.

More than a daycare. More than a school. More like Family!…read more I'm sad as I write this review because this is my son's last week at Little Sponges. Both he and my daughter attended this wonderful school. Now that we've moved and he will be attending another daycare, I realize how special Little Sponges is and how much we will miss it. When my daughter was born 7 years ago we looked at many daycare places. Most were chains and many were run by young people that didn't have kids themselves. When we came to see Little Sponges I immediately liked the fact that it was family owned and run. The director has her own kids at the school, as well as the owner's grandkids. Linda the owner gave us her cell phone number the first day and has always been available to take our call anytime we needed to speak with her. Safety and security were our top concern. I liked that the building had high windows in each classroom, but also there was cinder block all around the building. We saw many daycares that had all glass walls right next to the parking lot, and I was concerned that a car could jump the curb and go through the glass. Not the case at Little Sponges. There's a double set of locked doors, one as you enter the lobby and then another to access the main daycare area. Also Little Sponges has security cameras everywhere with recording. If there's any sort of incident its recorded and the parents can view it. There's a fingerprint computer check in and check out. If someone else has to pick up your child you can call in advance and they have to show proper ID. The classrooms are all very large and very clean. There's a large gym and a very big indoor play area. I can't tell you how many times its been raining outside but my kids had a great time running around and playing in the indoor play area which includes multiple slides and play areas. Little Sponges serves breakfast, lunch, and snacks which is very convenient for the days when we're running late and didn't have time for breakfast at home. Also they're open from 6:30am to 6:30pm so the extended care hours are very convenient for the days that my wife and I have to work either early or late. The classes all follow an age-focused curriculum. From the infants room where they are learning to crawl and walk, to the twoddlers and creative nursery classes where they are learning shapes, colors, numbers, etc. The Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 curriculum is outstanding. When my daughter went into public school Kindergarten, she was actually bored with the school work because she was so well prepared and so advanced from her learning at Little Sponges. Besides the academic curriculum, Little Sponges also has lots of amazing arts. In the classroom the children make beautiful crafts that you will actually want to hang in your home. There's an amazing dance program as well. My daughter started dance with ballet, jazz, and hip-hop. They also do father-daughter and mother-son dances with a recital at the end of the year. I did two father-daughter group dances with my daughter, and I'm so glad I did. It was an amazing experience and I'll never forget it as long as I live. There are exceptional teachers and staff members I would like to recognize as well. Roberto is an amazing teacher and an all-around great guy. Cher is also an amazing teacher and cares so much for her kids. She's pretty much family to us now! Carmen, Marcos, and Yury are also great and we love them! I'm not sure what else I can say about Little Sponges. They're not perfect but then again nobody is. My wife and I could have sent our children anywhere, and we chose Little Sponges. I have recommended Little Sponges many times and would do so again without hesitation.
