Now if that's not what a mom wants to hear, then I just don't know. The teachers were always great, and the administration was always helpful and nice. I felt like I was leaving my kids with our extended family. Great place, couldn't recommend it more.

I went on a job interview at this site approximately a year and a half ago. I am a Teacher and this…read moresite was a mess. They were panicked about starting with OCFS and regulations. Every room was cluttered and not particularly clean. I questioned differentiation between teachers and assistants, to which, I was told everyone is equal and there are no "leads". Believe me the rooms showed it. No, structure, different teachers doing different curriculum throughout the classroom. Kids didn't know who to listen to. Teachers (I use that word loosely) we're on their phone, no one really playing with the kids- interacting and playing with a child are two different things. Lunch was delivered on a cart and left outside of the door, getting cold with nothing covering the food. No one wore gloves. There were no peanut free rooms or table. The Classrooms had no windows. The school/daycare area was extremely small. Close together with a max of 4 classrooms, and a huge unused area that was supposed to be a gym. The play equipment outside was old, dirty and the fence gate was broke. The director didn't seem particularly concerned about it. The owner was super nice but the director was clueless and lazy.

I wasn't gonna post this at all, but if your child goes to BOSS BABIES IN FREEPORT, ya might wanna…read moretake em out. Unless you like you children drinking out of dirt sippy cups for an entire week straight. When I was washing the cups, the husband of the owner asked me if I was washing cups. I said "YEAH cus nobody else did & they been drinking out of dirty cups. That's nasty." He goes, "well we usually take the cups home every Friday & boil them & wash them". Oh okay so y'all only clean their cups once a week??? "Mrs. T" fired me because I called out sick twice & wasn't feeling well within my first week. Depsite the fact that we had a student that was sick earlier in the week. (Which was most likely a result of him drinking out of a dirty sippy cup). The preschool teacher also called out that 2nd day that I did...and that's why I was fired??? So you're understaffed, but you fire me because I wasn't feeling well??? Thankfully, I recorded myself cleaning the cups with week old food residue on them so if they try to lie, dassa dub. They're also VERY rough with the kids in the preschool class that I worked in. I've witnessed students being flipped off their cots to be waken up. I've even witnessed students getting "popped" by teachers out of frustration. Some of y'all from Breakthrough & RHS got kids in there so I'm really just tryna help fr. I stopped working there a month ago & didn't wanna shake the table, but what they're doing is not right. And they will not admit to any of these actions which is ultimately child abuse. I also know how messy you LI mamas are so send this to whoever you want. I really just want the best for ya kids cus I really grew to love them in the time I was there ~ Guya Rainey

St. Peter's ELC is a safe and nurturing program for pre-school children. I have had two children…read moreattend the school and both have had wonderful experiences. The curriculum grows with the children and encourages independent learning. The program is set up not only to enhance academic learning but healthy socialization with other children as well. The staff is a true family and treats every child with loving care and making them feel special and unique. There is always open communication with the teachers and the Director is friendly, professional and very hands on. This is the only program I would send my children to.

Cannot say good enough things about this Lightbridge. We had both of our kids there, varying times…read morebut for several years combined. The management and staff there are great and on top of things. If staff wasn't, we didn't see them there any longer. The building is clean and facilities nice. We never had a doubt that our children were in good hands. Sure, a hiccup here and there as with anything and kids get sick in day care, but I can only report good things. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks for taking care of our kids and teaching them!

Making a decision about childcare is really hard, but I am so happy with our decision to go to…read moreLightbridge. Everyone is like family there. The directors love my children, the teachers love my children, and I trust that they are happy and safe there. I love that there is a curriculum, each week is a different theme. They learn Spanish and do yoga and exercise and learn the basics like letters, numbers, writing, etc. I love that there are cameras and you can watch what is going on throughout the day. Every teacher knows the children's names even if they aren't in that teacher's class. They take any concerns seriously. The facility is clean and neat and welcoming. No daycare is perfect, I assure you, but Lightbridge is perfect for us and I'm more than happy with the care my children are getting there.

My family moved from Baldwin to Bellmore last year and we quickly found after searching every option that we could not match TT baldwin in a three town radius. We continue to drive our children to Baldwin every morning. It is so valuable to have a place we can trust while my husband and I work in the City. I am a mother of three kids and had my oldest enter TT at age 2, she stayed until she finished the pre-k program and entered kindagarden. My child is more than prepared for her first year of elementary school. She loved every day of Tutor time and often asks to visit her teachers. My middle child started out in the infant room with Miss Jackie and Miss Denise at 3 months, I cannot not say enough about these two ladies. They go above and beyond to give the infants all the love and attention you could want your small baby to have. They sit with them, play with them, they even do arts and crafts. My middle boy, now 3, is so bonded to them because of the amount of care given to him from the start. The other teachers have really carried through as he has grown and developed. Currently, my now 7 month old has been exclusively with Miss Jackie, it gives me great comfort that he gives her the biggest smile and baby hug every morning when I drop him off. Both of my boys come home clean and happy everyday. I could not ask for more!

My review was actually a question about how to get in touch with you since I could not and I was hoping that someone would have responded. I can see the reviews, which is why I was reaching out as much as I did. We have actually planned to meet and move forward, so hopefully that can still happen. I understand you are a small business and my review was not to bash your business at all as I did not know you. It was a genuine question being posed at the time. I am actually quite satisfied since speaking with you, so again the post was not an actual review, but an outreach to someone who has their kids here.

Posting to inform parents considering Camp Coleman. I grew up going to Coleman and decided to…read moreenroll my two children this summer. At orientation, the camp owner saw my pre k child feeling nervous. My son hadn't even met his counselors before the camp owner decided it would be mandatory for me to hire a babysitter to babysit my son in order for him to attend camp. I calmly explained that my son can be shy especially in new surroundings. My suggestions for success for my child were completely dismissed and were met with smug comments and complete lack of empathy. It was shocking and disappointing to see Coleman heading in this direction. If you are considering Camp Coleman, I strongly advise going elsewhere, where ownership cares about your children and not just your check. What kind of camp is this!?

I attended Coleman Country Day Camp every summer from ages 10-14 and I vividly remember having an…read moreabsolute blast and making a ton of great friends. I got a chance to visit them last summer when my family took my little cousin there for a day tour. I was blown away by how much they've grown both in sheer size of the property and all of the cool features they've built. Walking from the parking lot brought back so many memories. It's kind of wild how your brain can instantly bring you back to specific moments from over 20 years ago. The wildest thing that I saw they had built was their new American Ninja Warrior Course. It wasn't any rinky dink diy job either... it felt like I was on the set of the actual show! All of the staff members I met were outstanding young men and women. They were all professional, polite, and enthusiastic about their job. I remember my counselors back in the day having those same qualities and it's clear that Coleman really hires good people. I accredit my current skills in swimming and archery to the wonderful instructions that I received day in and day out when I went. Looking at the prices, they've certainly gone up since I was little but everything sure has. I'm sure if you ask my parents, they'd tell you that it was worth the cost because when the bus dropped me off in the evening each day, I was very happy but also completely exhausted. I would eat dinner, head to my room, and knock out immediately. Prior to my camp days, getting a kid like me to bed was darn near impossible. If you're looking for a phenomenal camp for your child, I'd give them a call to explore your options or to simply learn more.
