I don't post often, but I really wanted to give a shout out to the TLE in New Rochelle…read more We absolutely love it. The teachers are fantastic and the directors super-friendly and available whenever needed. The environment is clean and stimulating for children, and they are great about sending updates via the app. You know it's a great place when the kids are running excited in the morning to go to their class. We are so happy to have found the TLE and I absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a great daycare.

I can't say enough good things about The Learning Experience in New Rochelle. I was dreading the…read moreday that we had to drop our son off at daycare, but within even a week's time, I knew that he was in the right place. For starters, the facility is clean and inviting, but the staff and teachers make this place go round. Jade and Tarika are incredible directors. They are always available for a chat - about both good things and concerns - and take the time to get to know each child. They are also extremely vigilant about when a child might be sick, which I appreciate. Additionally, they are responsive via email. I know that if I have a quick question, they are ready, willing and able to help. Lastly, our son loves his teacher, Miss Gia! He has never cried once when we drop him off and a huge smile comes onto his face when we walk into his room! The kids are kept busy (we love the art projects that come home!) and are cared for well. All of the teachers there have really impressed me. Now really the last thing - there's an app that we follow along with each day. It logs everything that is going on with our child, which for a parent, is a god-send. And there are cute pictures sent throughout the day. It's so encouraging to see a smile on our son's face throughout the day. Can't thank Jade, Tarika and the team enough for their professionalism and care!

You could tell that things at Growing Minds are coordinated in a manner that makes you feel like your party is special. This will be my new go-to place to have my kids parties!

Our little one was 20 months when we needed full-time care, and through recommendations from…read morecoworkers and friends, we found Montessori in New Rochelle. We couldn't be happier with our decision. The owner has built a safe, nurturing environment where teachers truly care about each child's well-being, development, routines, and outdoor play. I observed a class today and was impressed with the teacher-to-student ratio. We loved the Halloween performance and parent potluck that foster a sense of community. Highly recommend this unique place!

The instructor is a guy named Dennis who is perverted and says terrible uncomfortable jokes and also has an attitude the entire day. He tells you how to make a drink in 10 minutes (and then makes you write down these stupid ass codes that he thinks are wonderful) down for you to memorize. He says you have to complete 40 hours and I literally went for 3 days (24 hours) and told me that I was ready to take the exam. Then he gave me an attitude when I told him im not ready so I showed up after spending all night studying (because who the hell whats to lose 300 hard earned dollars) just so that he can tell me to go home because im not ready! He definitely finds joy in being an asshole. So I took the exam and unfortunately wasn't prepared and I didnt even go back he can keep the 300$. Dont go to this garbage unprofessional school. Spend another 300 and go to the city where you will actually learn something. I really hope they close this place down because it is a scam. He acts like hes paying you to be there.

When I first toured the facility, I had a great impression of the teachers and the environment, and the administrative staff was very responsive, which made me want to apply. However, after seeing some negative reviews on Yelp, I honestly hesitated and wondered if I should reconsider. But I decided to trust my initial instincts, and ever since he started attending, I've been able to see smiles on his face that I had never seen at home. It makes me so happy to see him playing with age-appropriate toys and showing expressions that make it clear the teachers are engaging with him warmly and attentively.

TLDR: The owner accused us without providing evidence of speaking of her school to other parents in…read more"derogatory manner," and then made the unilateral decision to remove our daughter from the school with only 1 business day to find alternative care for our child. In our opinion the owner and directors are not mature enough to run a business which watches children. This review is to re-enforce the other heartbreaking stories already posted here. This program is not one we can recommend to anyone. We were at the location on 130 Flandreau. We are first time parents and joined due to the good marketing/branding and the environment we saw on the tour. However, It seems that the pandemic has transformed this business. They have cut many of the programs they offer supposedly "due to covid" but in our opinion it is clearly it is to cut costs and see windfall profits. The owner Brianna is no longer involved with day to day management/operation of the NY location, although she still seems to enforces policies regarding staff communications or communicates covid rule compliance. We found it odd when we called her or emailed her and she never responded. In our opinion, we experienced some significant supervision issues with the number of staff (2) for the number of children. With a 6:1 ratio of kids/teacher the ratio is on the high end. By comparison other similarly priced daycares offer a 4:1 ratio. Our kid regularly complained about hitting/kicking etc from the other children, sometimes came home with bruises, etc. We understand that kids are kids, but, it was often an effort to get them to tell us what was going on, and more often than not the line from teachers or the director "that never happened." or "they are unaware of what caused this." These were the minor issues. When we attempted to raise the more serious issues with the staff/directory they were dismissive of our concerns. Early on we had to regularly remind them to send photos, or document what our child ate, or if she used the potty. It is as if we had to train the staff in what they told us they would do. This is all frustrating, especially considering the dramatically above average cost. Amazingly, things went south when we attended a birthday party (at someones house) were we met a few of the other parents for the first time. We were surprised at how many other parents were also frustrated with similar issues and it seemed (in our opinion) our concerns were not so out of the blue. We were asked by other parents about our next year plans, and shared we would attend a different Pre-K program next year to get a different experience. Apparently one of the parents shared this with the staff and within the week were asked to leave. We were informed via an email from Brianna the owner at 830PM on a Thursday. It simply said that the next day would be our daughters last. This was the first & only time we would ever have any form of communication with her as customers of her business. This was obviously (in our opinion) shocking and unexpected and when we replied asking to talk it out/get clarification/be offered a reasonable notice period (a week? a month?) We received, what was in our opinion, a long combative response, where were told we had a "nasty attitude" and that "There is nothing further to discuss." We feel this behavior is negligent in someone that you rely on for childcare. (What is if is impossible to arrange proper care for your child on such short notice?) We waited a long time to post this in order to gain some distance and perspective on the issue. We ended up putting our daughter into a nearby school, where it turns out the teachers/staff/director/owners are loving and caring. We know this because by comparison to Nurtury, we have met them all on multiple occasions. The community is free to speak openly on any issues, and does so. We engage with other parents regularly and the tone is far more positive. We haven't looked back (except to warn you wayward parents to stay away)! Addendum: Finally, it is to our surprise that as of the time of writing this review, we can no longer find a reference to this school Nutury Montessori @ 130 Flandreau Ave New Rochelle as a registered daycare on the OFCS website (https://ocfs.ny.gov/programs/childcare/looking/). We did find however a current enforcement action against there Larchmont location, which appears to have 11 violations in the last year, where of note, all violations were corrected except two, one of which is: 418-1.13(a)(1) Staff and volunteers must be mature, of good character and possess suitable personal qualifications.
