Kasey, one of the program directors, gave us tours and put us instantly at ease with her genuine kindness and welcoming attitude. She and the Metamorphosis team spent a great deal of time over the phone and email answering our questions as we navigated starting our daughter at daycare during the COVID pandemic. Our daughter began attending at the Riverside Dr. location when she turned 1 year old and it was the best childcare decision we've made! We love being a part of the Metamorphosis Family! Pros: - Clean (NO shoes and wipes surfaces frequently) - Spanish immersion - baby yoga - lots of outdoor time - creative indoor activities - organic food - no screen time and lots of interaction with the kids

The "vibe" at Metamorphosis is loving and warm and friendly--basically like home, but more fun! Kasey, Maria, and the whole team are deeply passionate about helping raise thoughtful, kind, inquisitive, adventurous kiddos, and they do a fantastic job. Every day includes movement, outdoor play, artistic and scientific projects, books and reading--all in Spanish! It's an incredibly rich environment for our toddler and we couldn't be happier. We began with Metamorphosis shortly before Covid, and the team has done an amazing job surmounting the many complex challenges of the pandemic. We have always felt safe and confident sending our son there, knowing that the team is doing absolutely everything they can to keep everyone safe. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in Washington Heights looking for daycare!

As a preemie, we were worried about her development and to say that our daughter is thriving at Vivvi is an understatement. Thanks to Vivvi, I am able to work without anxiety or stress. They have an incredible app that updates your child's every major move- diaper, meal, photos of activities, etc. We couldn't be happier with our experience thus far. Thanks Vivvi team for providing a warm environment for our daughter!

I was able to go back to work (twice) after maternity leave and know they were in good hands. We started with Vivvi when our 1st daughter was 6 mo until she was 2 and our second from 12 weeks old on! They have excellent communication regarding both milestones and development as well as daily achievements and anecdotes! We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We will miss the entire Hudson Yards team now that we are moving to CT! We are in continued gratitude for all your love and kindness for our children.

I am beyond thankful everyday for the love, the fun, the diverse learning experience and the peace of mind we have knowing our kids are in the best care possible. Lorrelie, Mr. J, Miss Jolina and the entire staff are just absolutely wonderful. They love and care about every child in their school and are constantly providing new fun ways to learn and engage. I am blown away when my toddlers come home and know not just their colors but their colors in English and spanish, or when they learn all about the food pyramid and healthy nutrition, or how to paint laying down like Michelangelo, or all of the fun things they learn through their "science experiments".... I could obviously go on and on. This school focuses on letting kids be kids and loving them for who they are. If you care about your child having a well rounded PreK experience that is family oriented, communicative, caring, trustworthy and truly cares about community this is hands down your best option in Lyndhurst...we tried other schools and looked at other options and I feel so blessed that this is where we ended up. I will never be able to thank Ms. Lore and Mr. J enough for what they have done for my kids. My son was developmentally behind when starting here two years ago and this staff has been so inclusive, understanding and his biggest cheerleaders in all the progress he has made. Because of this environment he will be heading to kindergarten next year light years beyond where we ever could've hoped and with the confidence to continue to thrive and develop in an neurotypical environment! If you are looking for a daycare you can trust .... run don't walk and meet the wonderful family at Play N Learn.

My 3 year old attended as a 3k student in which the love, warmth, and guidance he received from Ms. Michelle and Ms. Galilea was unparalleled. He was challenged with new letters, engaged in fun arts projects, and was frequently brought outside with his friends. My 6 month year old received above and beyond attention and care from Ms. Jo-ann, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Karina, and Ms. Esther. When he left they created a book to remember TLE by--and weeks later when we would say Ms. Esthers name he would smile and make noises! All the teachers knew both my boys personally and would communicate daily about their milestones. The admin team at the time of Ms. Erica and Mr. Richard were also phenomenal. They communicated effectively, and despite running a school with so many young people, knew my boys well! TLE felt like a home away from home. We had traveled to the daycare/3K site and only left to be closer to home and have less of a commute. If you are in the LIC area, I cannot recommend both the care and educational experience of the Learning Experience!

We were so lucky to have found Ms. Sigi and Ms. Mi Ri. It was the perfect place for any family looking for a safe, clean, friendly, nurturing and encouraging place for their child. The facilities are very well kept, clean and full of amenities. He learned so much there and never wanted to leave when we went to pick him up. We always felt like he was in great hands and they really care about the kids and treat them like family. The environment is very tactile and doesn't have any TV's. The classes are not too big which allowed each child to receive a lot of care and attention. We were continuously impressed by the creative projects he brought home and the songs he sang. They were very communicative about his care. We received videos, newsletters, and photos regularly. They are amazing teachers. Our son loved it there but sadly we moved from the area and had to leave. Thank you Ms Sigi, Ms Mi Ri and the rest of the team for all your help and support with our son and we wish them all the best. We miss them dearly. We highly recommend this daycare!
