The place is clean and staffs are very friendly. I can feel she enjoys being there with them, as she leaves for the day she would blow kisses and wave her good byes. I also like the fact as a parent, I can get notification updates, with pictures on their daily activities. Getting pictures of my little girl painting, and playing with other kids is very heart warming, it would always put a smile on my face. They are very organized and thorough with the monthly syllabus. Every Friday they make it more exciting for them to enjoy carnivals to ice cream trucks and movie, popcorn days. I am looking forward on seeing how much she can learn and the growth on her journey.

The food is homemade, always smells great! My son eats better there than he does at home. The development I have seen in my son over the years has been incredible - from blowing kisses to singing/dancing to learning his numbers and colors. Knowing that my son enjoys seeing his daycare teachers and his friends makes leaving him there so much easier. My son has been going to this daycare for 2 years (since he was 4 months) and my daughter just started going there as well at 3 months. We moved away from Bayside several months ago, but could not find another daycare that we liked better.

We moved to the Bayside area when our son was just turning 18 months. As our first child and never…read morehaving put him in any kind of day care before, we were anxious about finding the right place for him. A friend recommended Bayside Bundles of Joy and after meeting with Leidy and having a play date (where you can bring your little one for a few hours to see if it's a good fit), we decided to enroll him there. Leidy and Fatima are amazing; they treat each child like one of their own. My son grew an attachment to both of them that even after he moved on to a regular school setting, he still asks for them. They speak English and Spanish, giving a bi lingual aspect for the children. They have an app for phones where you get updates on how your child's day is going, what they are eating, pics of the day and times of when everything is happening. If anything were to happen (our son not feeling well, possible incidents with other kids), Leidy was prompt in contacting us to let us know. She was open in scheduling times to meet whenever we wanted time for face to face updates and to talk about our son's progress. They make their food fresh daily for the kids (breakfast and lunch). They would do different activities like kiddy work out, planting, sprinklers in nice weather, to mix things up and give the children different experiences. During the summer program, older children get to attend trips outside of the day care. Looking for good home based child care in the area? Try them out and you'll see what I am talking about!

I cannot find the words to express how much I love Bayside Bundles of Joy (BBB). Leidy, Elizabeth,…read moreand Fatima have literally been a Godsend in every sense of the word. I visited what felt like every daycare in Queens. Ones that were highly recommended by friends, or on Yelp. I couldn't find one place I would even consider, and I didn't think I would ever find a place I would be comfortable leaving my son. Then I met Leidy, she is the warmest, most caring person I have ever met. Immediately you can feel how much all the women who work here care for the children. They soothe my son when he is tired, cranky, or sad. They serve home-cooked meals for breakfast and lunch (snacks are also included). This daycare is bright, clean, and inviting. They are extremely hygienic, the staff and children wash their hands several times a day. Every surface that can be sanitized is, on a daily basis. There is an app you can download and they update you all day long on every detail of your child's day. It's amazing. They celebrate all of the major holidays, as well as the children's birthdays. They have a private backyard, weather permitting, the children go out every day. BBB has really become a home away from home for my son, I trust them implicitly. So much so, that now my youngest is also attending. I could go on and on, heaping praise on BBB, but I dont't want to be TOO long winded :-) In summation, I am a picky control freak, and this place makes me so happy. More importantly - my son has been going here for more than a year now, and he absolutely loves it at BBB.

At first I was very pleased with this daycare. My mother-in-law watches my son but at 2 1/2 I was…read moreconcerned that my son was not around other children. This center appealed to me as it was close to home and they were prompt to respond to my inquiries and I was able to pay a daily rate as I only needed him to go twice a week. A few months ago we took my son to see the place and to visit. The staff was nice and the owner Nora was very nice and answered all our questions. We spent about an hour there and my son wandered around looking at all the toys. The staff was diverse and the other children there were diverse as well, my son is mixed race and I really want him to be around a diversity of people, so I was optimistic about it. Nora asked about my son's behavior and was concerned a little as he had never been in a daycare/school setting before but from observing him she was certain that he would be fine there and that they could accommodate him. My son is not aggressive but high energy and has difficulty sitting still but I was up front about this and she assured me that all children take a couple weeks to adjust and that he would be fine there. Fast forward to today, his first day. My husband dropped him off, and stayed with him for a little bit and he settled in fine. Nora even sent me a picture of him at a table playing. Approximately three hours later she requested that I call her and assured me that Jordan was fine so I would not panic. My husband called and was told that Jordan was running around and his behavior was too hyper and he was not responding to their redirection and that he was distracting the staff from the other children and that they would not be able to accommodate him moving forward and that they would refund our money including our reservation fee. They then suggested that we should have him evaluated, at 2 and a half after his first day ever at day care surrounded by strangers in a new environment.(yes please read my sarcasm) My mother-in-law had to go and pick him up and bring him home. I gave two stars as they did refund our money and they were easy to contact; but I can't understand how a daycare that has been open for 17 years cannot accommodate a rambunctious 2 year old. As far as I was informed he didn't act out aggressively, he didn't bite or hit anyone, he didn't even cry. He just wouldn't sit at circle time or lay down to nap. And to suggest that there was something so wrong with him to need an evaluation was very concerning to me. I am glad that this happened early on so we can find a more nurturing and patient daycare that is willing to actually work to help my son transition. Adding today after a little bit more info: My mother-in-law picked my son up and she stated that he was standing up with his blankie being quiet in the room for 3-5 year olds and the other kids were on cots sleeping, the toddler room had toddlers watching a movie on the TV. I don't want to jump to conclusions but part of me suspects that they assumed his age based on how he looks (he is very tall at 38 inches for a 2.5 year old) and he was therefore placed in the wrong age group room. He should have been in the toddler room. This would explain why they thought he needed an evaluation because he would have appeared significantly delayed if they thought he was 3.5 when he is barely 2.5.

As a mother and parent, I advise you to please not send your children here. They play the part of concerned and caring very well but it's just an act and if this is their MO, I imagine they'll be out of business very soon.
