We switched from another local nursery school when my oldest was heading to PreK years ago and we've been here ever since. The teachers are SO loving and accommodating. Parents are welcome in the classrooms for their child's "special day" various times throughout the year, so you always feel connected to your child's daily experiences, as well as get to know their classmates. This was the ideal nursery school environment for us for the past 6 years and NSNS will always hold a special place in our hearts for the love, nurturing and education that it gave to our children.

I'm not someone who usually leaves reviews, but this occasion requires it, with the goal of helping…read moreother parents and the institution. At no point is my intention to discredit Little Leaves, but I can't stay silent about what happened, since after this very unpleasant situation, I unfortunately cannot recommend them. From the moment we visited the institution, they never mentioned any minimum requirements for children to attend, such as needing to be able to feed themselves, among other things. On the contrary, they told us they would take care of giving him structure, helping him with potty training, and his education. To me, it was "music to my ears," but in reality I feel it was more of a sales tactic than reality, since there are other negative reviews mentioning the same thing. My son only lasted three days at Little Leaves and, by the institution's decision, was expelled due to his behavior, without them taking any responsibility for their lack of professionalism, their lack of structure for welcoming new children, and their inability to handle children who were struggling to adjust to a new environment in less than a week. They simply stopped providing service without even allowing a reasonable amount of time before making such a drastic decision -- only 3 days. My son is a child who has received a high level of care and love at home, and from the moment he entered this daycare he didn't feel accepted. The teachers expected him to follow the same routine as the other children, who had already been there for a while. He had just turned two years old a month earlier, and this whole process was completely new to him. Expecting him to adapt within three days is something not even an adult manages in weeks. They made no effort whatsoever to help integrate him -- they simply isolated him from the group. What kind of care is this? Are they actually qualified to care for children? My biggest complaint is that Little Leaves is not prepared to properly welcome children. A new child needs support from the teacher, a proper welcome into a new environment, and an appropriate integration into a group he doesn't know -- exactly as they described it to us when they were offering us on the service, which turned out to be completely false. My son, who is a very sweet child, exhibited behavior he doesn't show at home: he was erratic, pulled hair, and bit -- things he doesn't normally do -- and suddenly, in this new environment, he did them repeatedly. This makes me think he wasn't being treated properly; no person changes so radically from one environment to another without a reason. Contrary to what I expected, all I received were complaints. They had me fill out a report that they didn't explain properly, and at no point did they guide me through the process. One of the teachers had the recklessness to say they needed to "keep the rest of the children in the room safe" -- an extremely strong and alarming comment, considering they are dealing with children, not criminals. It's one of the most irresponsible statements I've ever heard from an education professional. To the owner, I recommend reviewing your processes for welcoming new children, being transparent about expectations and the center's limitations, and better training your staff on how to communicate with parents. I feel deeply disappointed by the treatment we received and by the unpleasant experience I went through. Who can determine a child's behavior in just three days? How would you feel if one of your own children were treated this way?

All the staff members are so accommodating and keep me updated during the day so it feels like I'm not missing out on a thing! (Extra bonus points for tolerating a very hands on first time momma!!! They never made me feel any kind of way for asking too many questions or making specific requests about food/changes in my sons routine!) My sons social and physical skills have developed so much since he's started and his little personality has been shaped by the lovely teachers as well! Highly recommend for anyone considering!!

She is a hands-on director truly dedicated to her profession. She's always checking in on classrooms and teachers, filling in whatever role is needed, and handling any situation with a smile. Ms. Christine, the assistant director, is just as fantastic. I love the transparency and open communication--they use an app to log your children's activities throughout the day; you can call anytime to talk to the teachers or directors; you can drop in anytime (pre-Covid). Teachers are warm, fun, and attentive; they give concrete, detailed feedback during evaluations. My daughter adored her preschool and preK teachers. She really missed them when NY went into Covid lockdown. The facility is clean and the classrooms are well stocked with enough toys but not overwhelming. Activities are varied and stimulating, even though they're confined within the daycare grounds. This is a full-time, for-profit daycare, so it's pricey. But they do almost everything for you--breakfast, lunch, potty train, sunblock, etc. The hours are incredible (6:30am-7pm!). If you need a flexible, reliable, full-time daycare for your child, you can't find much better.

There's never enough staff, and the staff they do have, many are not licensed or being reviewed by the licensing agency for misconduct. Most of the good teachers left out of frustration. Few good ones are still left, are paid a few Pennie's over minimum wage, and have had enough. More recently, they chose to keep around a teacher that was accused of abusing 3 (THREE!) infants by another teacher because they "felt it couldn't be true". Only when parents called corporate was it actioned on. Before enrolling, try reaching out to the families who've left to get their honest reviews. I'm sure you can find them easily. I wish someone told me all this when I enrolled. It's expensive, one of the most expensive areas in the area, and has the worse reputation in the neighborhood. Run. Your welcome.

Visit Date: December 18, 2016…read more We came to this temple for a friend's wedding. I will comment on the food I'm not sure if my friends had the food bought in from a separate caterer or if the food was prepared by temple staff. The temple was really beautiful. We had never been in a temple before and we have to say this one looked similar to a Catholic church. The flow of the temple layout was pretty easy to follow. When you entered on your left there were bathrooms and a bridal suite and groom's suite for the wedding party to get dressed and ready. On a table in the front there were table assignments for wedding guests and behind that table was a room where you entered for cocktail hour. They had the cocktail hour before the ceremony. To our surprise the bride was walking around the cocktail hour. Sometimes the brides miss the cocktail hour due to getting ready or like us when we had our wedding due to taking photographs. The cocktail hour food looked good. I can't say how the more tastier portions of the menu were because I only had veggies and some hummus. The hummus was good, pretty creamy, and the veggies were tasty and fresh. I was looking for cheese for some protein but it was a kosher wedding and since they were serving meat there was no cheese to be had for me. Once the cocktail hour finished guest were led to the religious area of the temple for the wedding ceremony. There were a lot of guest at the wedding yet seating was pretty comfortable for the ceremony. After the ceremony we were led right into the reception hall and the area where the cocktail hour was opened up as a lounge area and bar where guests could get drinks. I did appreciate the food offerings as I thought they were fairly healthy. The first course was a salad with a dijon vinagrette and a mushroom barley soup. For dinner I had the option of grilled vegetables or portabello mushroom with tofu. Since I needed some protein I opted for the tofu. The food was pretty tasty I wouldn't say five star, definitely between 3 and 4 stars. For dessert they had a Viennese hour, and this is not the fault of the temple but the Viennese hour turned into a mess. Hubby and I waited forever to finally see desserts because of the guests crowding the table. I did decide to take a bite of a chocolate chip cookie and a bite of chocolate cake. Both were pretty tasty. I would have loved to eat the whole slice and whole cookie but I am working with a nutritionist so I did with a bite of each. The sound system worked very well we were able to hear everything on the mikes and all the music the band was playing. Overall the temple did a nice job with the wedding! I'm not Jewish but if you are looking for an event to host your Jewish wedding I would easily recommend this temple!
