We couldn't be happier with the care our son Theo has received at Daddy's Day Care. From the moment he joined at just one year old, we've seen him thrive in such a nurturing and stimulating environment. The staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the well-being and development of each child. They create a safe and loving atmosphere where Theo feels secure and excited to learn. We've watched him grow in confidence, make new friends, and develop essential skills thanks to their engaging activities. The communication from the team is outstanding; we receive regular updates and photos of Theo's day, which gives us peace of mind. The variety of educational play, cooking, yoga, music, art projects, and outdoor activities keeps him engaged and curious. We are so grateful to have found Daddy's Day Care. It has truly become a second home for Theo, and we can't recommend it highly enough! Thank you to Vadim, Neba and Nefi for everything you have done for our boy!! read more

We did an exhaustive search of daycares in the area and felt that the environment at Daddy's was the most loving, which is what we cared about most as parents! Vadim, the owner, is wonderful to interface with and very accommodating. read more

We had our 2 year old go to this day care for 1 year and we couldn't recommend it more! The teachers took tremendous care of our son and he was incredibly happy to be there every day. Truly wish he could stay there longer read more

My kids have been going to Daddy's Daycare for the past 5 years. The staff are extremely kind and attentive and treat your children as if they were their own. My youngest started daycare with them fairly early and given how wonderful his brother's experience was I was at ease about that decision. They send pictures everyday and videos during music class! I've seen my kids flourish tremendously under Neba and Nefi's care at Daddy's Daycare. My oldest son's speech, reading, motor, and social emotional skills put him ahead of the curve when he entered into Pre-K and I credit alot of that to Daddy's Daycare. They have a full playground in the backyard for the kids, the space inside is immaculate and very clean as well! They've truly become like family and I'd recommend them to any parent. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Daddy's Daycare 4 on Douglass St (and I'm sure it's similar at the other branches). Neba and Aika were extremely proactive and loving. Every day they would send us 10-20 photos of our boy enjoying the day, and they were very communicative about his care. For example they checked in with us every day about his sleeping patterns, eating, etc, and updated us on what happened at the day care. They also paid a lot of attention to his development, and gave us tips (since they have much more experience with kids than we do!). It was a really great experience, and our son was at Daddy's day care in both the infant and toddler stages. The only reason we left was because he got older and needed to be around older kids. Highly recommended! read more

Our son started Daddy's Daycare at 3 months old (the youngest they allow), 2 days a week. He has now been there for 2 months. Unlike some other daycares, they do not allow half or partial days, only full days. At first I was bummed about this option, but it has worked out well for us and I am glad to be able to focus fully on work for full days. The women who care for the children are outstanding. When I pickup my son, he is in a great mood. They provide detailed information about my son's activities throughout the day as well as food/diaper times. The owner, Vadim, is excellent about communication and has been both professional and accommodating. As a first-time parent, I didn't really know what to expect from a daycare, but Daddy's Daycare has set the bar very high and I cannot imagine leaving my son with anyone else while I am at work. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Daddy's Daycare. We were concerned about our daughter's transition after some intense bouts of separation anxiety, but she was all smiles from day one -- Neba and Nefi really made her feel secure and happy. She would literally skip happily into their arms in the mornings. They are truly loving caretakers who are invested in the individual children, and are always happy to take the time to talk to you at drop off or pick up. They have a spacious backyard and do lots of enrichment activities. Vadim is also great to work with, very communicative and courteous. Couldn't recommend more for anyone looking for a warm and loving environment for their kids. read more

I can't say enough good things about this daycare. When I went to pick up our daughter the first day (she was about 8 months then) she gave me this look like, "Is this what I've been missing?!" (She also slept through the night her first day there - AMAZING). She is so well-loved and encouraged there and I know she loves playing with the other kids. They keep me up to date on her development and send me adorable photos throughout the day. The caretakers are like magic and I wish I had brought her in sooner. I now recommend to any and all first time parents Daddy's Daycare. read more

My son has been going to Daddy's daycare since he was 1. He is always very happy to go there and see his friends and the super kind and gentle staff. They are very creative with crafts, cooking, music and kids get to play in their patio when weather is nice. The owner Vadim is very flexible and easy to work with. We like it here so much that our newborn son will start attending soon. read more

We love our daycare. As another reviewer mentions, Vika, Ika, and especially Neba treat our son with so much love and kindness. They introduce him to new foods, new activities, and new skills, and we really trust that he's safe and cared for when he's with them. He loves playing outside, palling around with the other little kiddos--and we love the pictures we're sent of his friends and adventures! Safe, fun, trustworthy, loving. read more

I write this review with a heavy heart since it will be my daughter's last month with them since we are moving. As a first time parent we were nervous to give our daughter over to anyone, but these women are beyond words. Neba, Vika, and Ika love these children like they are their own. They go above and beyond to make sure your child is cared for just as you would care for them. Honestly my 6 month old nudges me out of the house in the morning to get there. I wish I could pack these 3 women up and take them to Long Island with us. I know my daughter will miss them and I can't thank them enough for not only helping her thrive and develop, but for loving her. read more

I am late writing this review since my daughter left this day care almost two years ago but it is better late than never. My daughter was at Daddy's Daycare for 1.5 years and it was great to drop her off to a very loving and caring staff. I highly recommend for anyone to consider this day care. Most of the presents I know from the day care really liked their child's time there as well. It was cool to get text messages from Vadim with pictures of the kids. read more

This place is wonderful, where do I begin. Our infant son started there at 4 months and absolutely thrived right from the start. It's such a loving, safe and happy environment. The caregivers are the best - greeting all the kids with hugs and kisses, you can tell how much they truly love each child. They have a packed weekly schedule - yoga, music class, art, cooking class, and spend lots of time in the outdoor backyard. Our son LOVED it there but sadly we moved from the area so had to leave. We miss you, Daddy's Daycare! read more

My son, who started daycare when he was 10 months old, has been at Daddy's Daycare for almost a year and we couldn't be happier. Before selecting a daycare, we toured many locations in the neighborhood and we really believe that Daddy's Daycare is one of the best. Vadim, the owner, is friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with. He makes the whole process run smoothly. And the employees- Neba, Ira, and Viktoria- are beyond caring. I can tell that they really love my son and love working with children. They are extremely attentive, energetic, and creative. They have that rare, natural ability to bond with children. My son has learned so much during his time at Daddy's Daycare, and he comes home everyday with new songs, words, and interests! There's also a music class on Thursday, taught by an outside instructor, that my son especially loves. It's a safe, clean, loving, and stimulating environment for children to grow in. We've been really happy with our decision to send our son there! read more

We have just started our 15 month old at daddy day care and are having such a wonderful experience here from day 1. Neba is truly loving and very attentive to all the children. I love the detailed info about our daughters day there. From her bowel movements to how she ate and napped, what she has learned, how she is developing and learning everyday. What she has improved at and how we should encourage her. She notices when shes teething and in pain. LOVE when they send us photos of her, really look forward to those every days shes there. Neba really is the best! read more

Our daughter started at Daddy's when she was almost 6 months and stayed there for a very happy two-year stretch. We were so lucky to find this daycare so close to our home. The caregivers loved and cared for our daughter like their own. We miss them greatly now that she's moved on to preschool and we've moved out of the neighborhood. It is important to working parents like us to have loving, caring, reliable people to trust our child with. She's built great first friendships and still talks about her days there. read more

I highly recommend Daddy's Daycare! Firstly the owner and staff are amazing...so professional (especially compared to other daycares in the area) and they show a lot of effort and care toward the children and parents. One of my favorite things was having photos texted to me every day my child was in daycare...they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. The caretakers were so attentive and really seemed to love my son. He learned so much while in their care and made strides in his social and verbal skills. The location was so clean and they really seemed to take a lot of care to make sure the kids were safe and didn't get sick. A lot of children in daycare seem to be ill all the time but my son didn't get sick once from daycare which said a lot to me about how clean Daddy's is and how important my child's health was to them. All in all, I really loved having my son in the care of the people at Daddy's! They take kids full and part-time and are willing to work with you on how many days you need. Pricing is fair and standard for Brooklyn. read more

My wife and I moved to New York from London, and found very quickly that seemingly every daycare had months if not year long waiting lists. I started scouring the internet, trying to find less known, local daycares, and I found Daddy's on Yelp. I called up and talked to Vadim, the owner. I asked if there was any availability, and he said, not in Park Slope, but how about Carroll Gardens! I was so excited because that is where we had moved to. I went over, checked out the place, clean, simple, huge yard to play in, tons of toys, great organization, everything that I think should be at a daycare. Signed up, and hoped for the best. The thing that really won me over is the huge smile that came over my sons face every time he saw Neba, Nadya, Vika or Ira in the morning. When he started walking, he moved as fast as he could to get to Daddy's. The only down point was sometimes it was hard to get him to come home! I also always enjoyed when Vadim was at this location. He brought such an enormous amount of energy to play with the kids. We really lucked out. It was just happenstance that brought us to Daddy's, but we could not have asked for a better daycare. We ended up moving again, to Chicago, and the difference between Daddy's and our current daycare is startling. It is so unfortunate that so many centers are only profit focused, when they should be care focused. The passion and care that Vadim puts into his centers, into ensuring he hires the right staff was as clear on day one as it was on day 100. We will sorely miss this place. If you can get a spot here, do it! You won't regret it. read more

Our son attended the 87 Douglass St center for about 6 months (we have since moved out of NYC). As our first experience with child care, Daddy's Day Care was very positive one for us and for our son. The space is comfortably sized, very clean and well maintained.The staff is so helpful and pleasant, and the kids get a healthy breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Vadim was very responsive to our questions and always sent us lots of pictures. It's a great option for friendly, neighborhood day care. read more

Our 2.5 year old son has been going to this daycare for over a year now and I couldn't say enough good things about it! Everyone at the daycare is super friendly and super tentative, and my son loves every minute he is there. He makes new friends (so do I) and learn something new every week. The best part is that the daycare is VERY clean, has a big outdoor space, and they provide both breakfast and lunch so I don't have to worry about anything. Vadim and his staff are very accommodating and always answer all my questions. I high recommend this daycare! read more

Deciding to leave your young child in the care of a stranger is an extremely stressful and emotional decision. From the very first day (in fact, from the initial tour before we decided to enroll), the team at Daddy's put us at ease and made us feel like we were in the company of family. Neba, the primary caretaker, and her team of Vika and Ayka, were the kindest, most compassionate, loving, and accommodating women we could have asked for. Our daughter loves them and started asking for them by name as soon as she could speak. And I truly believe that their patience, care, and compassion was instrumental in encouraging the verbal, emotional, and creative development of our little girl. I wish we could freeze time and have her stay this age, but we are grateful for the love and care that the Daddy's team on Douglass has given our child and our whole family. We love you guys, and thank you for all that you do! read more

My son started at Daddy's at three months old and attended full-time (5 days/week, 8am - 6pm) until he was about two years old when we moved him to another Daddy's location (6th Street) with mostly older children. We looked at other daycares closer to our apartment when we were expecting but none of them were as clean or as well managed as Daddy's. We later discovered how wonderful the caretakers were- they love the kids as their own and all seem like doting parents. Our son loved them as well and was happy to arrive each morning (he still asks for Neba, Vika and Ira). We were extremely happy with our choice (even with the 20 minute walk) and have enthusiastically recommended Daddy's to friends and neighbors. read more

We have been attending Daddy's Daycare for 1.5 years now & have been extremely pleased. First, the providers are wonderful & really care about your child like their own. The providers tell you little vignettes about your child's day when you pick up. The owner is responsive & sends pictures of your LO. The facility is great as well. Send your child here & you can relax. read more

My son went to this daycare on Douglass street for 6 months. Staffs were all very nice and they had great activities for kids every day. We liked that they feed kids only organic and natural food. They didn't allow shoes inside the room so the room was always very clean. They sometimes sent pictures of kids activities- which always made us happy! We enjoyed our son coming home with artworks and also had full of exciting stories to tell us( we imagined it from his bits of words) - he must have had a great time there everyday! read more

I rarely write reviews but I feel it's important to share feedback on something as important as childcare, and I hope that this helps a fellow parent make the best decision for their family. Searching for the right place to entrust the care of your child is a daunting task. After much research and many tours, we brought our son to Daddy's because of a gut feeling that it just felt like the right place. We've been there since March 2017 and couldn't be happier. The owner, Vadim, really knows his stuff and owns multiple daycares in the BK area. The space on Douglass St is spotless, bright and happy feeling. The backyard is well maintained and safe for the kids. The ladies that take care of the children are ANGELS. They adore my son and I feel that they truly care about the well being and happiness of each child. My son jumps and wiggles when we pull up to Daddy's and I can see how much he loves it - the daily photos they send make my day, every day! I've always felt peace of mind leaving my son there, and that is priceless when looking for the right childcare. read more

My 2 year old son who was home with me until we decided to put him in a daycare has attended Daddy's daycare for few months. I did a thorough research on almost all day cares in the neighborhood and after visiting Daddy's daycare #4 I decided to trust my child to them. I was extremely nervous as my son is extremely attached to me, but my worries dissipated on the very first day. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, the place is clean, there are many activities kids are busy with, food is homemade and healthy. Every day when I picked up my child one of the girls would fill me in on how the day went for my son, whether he slept well at nap time and all the food he ate or didn't. Girls are personable and welcoming. They care about the kids as if they are theirs. The owner is supper nice and motherly. Vadim is very responsive and understanding. I'm supper bummed we couldn't continue daycare for personal family situation, I will put my child back in in a heart beat. read more
