Kids learn through play, not by being confined to a table all day. The kids have access to art supplies, books, toys that are great for pretend play and the like. Also every one of his teachers have been there for years and actually love their job. That speaks volumes. We tried another play school/daycare prior to GPS and it was an eye opening experience. GPS is a true quality program and I'm so thankful we landed here.

This school holds such an important place in my heart. I attended Grace Playschool 35 years ago and…read moremet my life long best friends, my entire family has gone through those doors and now both of my kids. It is everything that you would want a Pre-School to be. The staff are certified and undergo the strictest of background checks, there is no pressure for kids to be potty trained by a certain age, and you know that the school is safe and well maintained. The school is pure magic, the teachers base their lessons in play which is backed by research as the most important way for children to learn in the early years. I cannot recommend this school enough. Especially since they are supportive and accommodating of students who also need special services. I speak from first-hand experience that they will work with speech, OT, PT, and special educators to make sure your child gets exactly what they need. There is a reason this school has been around for over 60 years.

My entire family fell in love with Little Meadows when we did our school tour last year. There was…read moreplenty of interaction between teacher and each student. As you know, this is huge for little ones but even more important to a child who may need speech therapy. My children needed prompting to talk and we saw many other schools that barely engaged at all with the students! Little Meadows is very hands on. They have several therapists on location (OT, PT, ST, and even a psychologist). They have weekly workshops that you can attend. All of the therapists I've encountered here do great work and always give me time if I need to chat about my boys' therapeutic progress. (By the way, CPSE doesn't cover feeding therapy. My children needed it badly and the speech therapist was kind enough to accommodate us. Going above & beyond their call was something I wasn't expecting but I appreciated it immensely!!) They offer half day & full day classes. They offer integrated classes that are split between community children and children with mild special needs. I'm not positive, but I believe they also offer classes for children with more severe special needs. Their playground is large, safe, and private for their own use. They have a gym to play in for rainy/snowy days. Knowing that the school is located in a safe neighborhood is also good to know because the children WILL go on neighborhood walks throughout the year. Parent involvement is often encouraged. Hands down, the best pre-k school I have visited in Queens.

My daughter went here for 3K and 4K. It is truly an amazing school. All of the staff and teachers…read moreare extremely friendly and caring. They make sure to reach out to parents regularly about your child's progress. They have an amazing program for children with disabilities and the therapy facilities are amazing!!! As a mother of a child with autism and other related disabilities, she has shown great improvement because of her time at Little Meadows. She was almost non-verbal before attending and after two years, she is talking up a storm with immense confidence and has so many new friends. I would definitely recommend this school to every parent looking for a truly enriching program for their children.

I started my son at tutor time when he was 5 months old. He's been there for a year and a half now…read moreand I can only say good things about Tutor Time. Going back to work and leaving your baby in someone else's care is so hard. I didn't want to leave him in an in-home daycare because I was worried a baby would not get the same attention as older kids (as my mom put it- how do you know they won't just leave him in a crib all day). When I toured Tutor Time I was very impressed with how they ran the baby room. Every time your baby is fed, has a diaper change or does a fun activity, you get an alert in your phone. I come home from work knowing exactly how much he ate, how often he pooped/peed and how much he slept. It's very reassuring to get these updates. Now he is almost 2 years old, and I continue to love Tutor Time. The teachers there really seem to love him. It's a warm, nurturing environment. I am so glad I went with Tutor Time for his day care needs!

They are extremely safe regarding COVID at all grade levels and separate everyone into cohorts, so whenever there is exposure, we don't need to shut down the entire school. This entire school year, we have not yet had to stay at home due to COVID, which wasn't the case at the last school we enrolled our son in. As for his learning, his language has really exploded while being enrolled in the school. He has even started playing with other children so well and being interested in their activities, which I attribute to the great socialization at Buckley. My son loves going to school every morning. His teachers, Miss Susan and Miss April, are so wonderful and provide great updates on his progress as well as his classmates. The Buckley community as a whole is very welcoming and inclusive. Would definitely recommend!

I cannot recommend this daycare enough. My son went to K. Academy years ago and we were happy with…read morethat however, I didn't realize how much more wonderful and nurturing a daycare can be until my girls started Little Explorers. The teachers (Ms. Lidia, Ms. Arielle, Ms. Alejandra, and Ms. Sosana) are full of soooo much love and treat my children as if they are their own. As an educator myself, I am amazed by how much my girls have learned at 2 years old- about every single holiday, about presidents, about historical events, etc. The teachers are so creative and when I show their daily school photos to friends who have children in daycare, they are even impressed by the dedication and creativity of the teachers at Little Explorers. The staff at this daycare are warm and feel like family, and this is absolutely something created from the top down.

They are absolutely amazing, completely focus on your little one, and help them grow, develop, and learn. This is not just a daycare or school, it is a family that takes care of your child as if they were their own (Even Akram!!). It starts with the top, and Ms. Kate and her family are phenomenal. They are dedicated to the kids and put their time, resources, and love to the little ones. They are always available and always willing to help. I have been with this school since its beginning in Floral Park with my oldest. Ms. Sosanna was there and took care of her and made sure she was given love and was fed and learned. When it came time for our youngest, there was no doubt or any other choice. We would wait for a spot here. The school itself is a beautiful home, with a spacious area around. It is in tree lined streets. Inside, it is soo warm, full of color or life and love. Everyone who works there loves each child and gives their full time and effort. There is no question, I would trust Ms. Sosanna and everyone here with the life of my child. They are not only in the best hands, but will also develop to their full potential.

It seems many people like this place, but I had a very bad experience. This could be only me, so if…read moreyou would like to send your kids to here, please do not read my review. I enrolled my kid to this center because I trusted the fact that this center expanded the business in this area quite successfully. However, when I toured the center, I was not very happy when I looked at the faces of kids and staff. They didn't look very happy nor enjoy their job. Furthermore, I realized that this place is too pricey compared to the other daycares in the neighborhood. So in the end, I decided to withdraw my kid's enrollment. I visited the center and explained why I made such a decision. At that time the staff promised me that I would get a check for the first month's tuition, because, at the time of enrollment, I have already paid $150 + first month's tuition ($1195). Again, the staff told me that I can get it back and the reason why she cannot give it right away is because she does not have the checkbook. The staff talked about bad things about the school to which I am switching, which sounded not nice, but I did not take it seriously. She also mentioned that there was a policy that I should have notified them 45 days in advance, strictly speaking. I notified them 30 before the first day of school. So I understood that and I greatly appreciated their kind considerations. BUT, I did not receive the check for a month, and I have sent an email to remind that. The response I got was simple enough, "No, you cannot get a check. The owner decided not to do that." WHAT?? They just ate up my $1195 because I was late for 15 days to notify them. I can totally understand if they take out part of that money, but I cannot understand that they took all of it. Even more importantly, in that response, the staff mentioned that the owner called me and explained the situation. NO!! It never happened. The owner did not give me a call and I did not know the situation before "I" asked them. I courteously replied back if there is any possibility for a partial refund and explained that I have never received a call from the owner. That was it! They never responded back to me. I cannot trust their business. It seems to me that they only take care of their profits and tries to get out of money as much as possible. They never considered me as a future family even though I could send my kids to their summer camps or after-school care. I pass the center every morning and afternoon and see a lot of cars in there. Every time, I get very annoyed by their attitude to me, and I will never consider this place as one of my future childcare.
