As a first-time mom who had to get back to work, finding a daycare for my baby girl made me very…read moreapprehensive until I was connected with Shalom. From the moment we stepped foot into Shalom to be given a tour, I knew this place was right for my baby. Shalom has such a warm, happy, family vibe. I checked out other daycares and just did not feel the same vibe. When you hear about a daycare that has parents signing their children up simply based on their reputation, it speaks volumes, especially since it can be very difficult to find someone you trust to handle your children. But they even exceeded my already high expectations once my daughter was officially enrolled. The infants and children have curriculums and rooms made specially for their age. Michele, the director, is the sweetest, most professional, most accommodating person and made us feel like we belong to a family. All of the teachers at Shalom are very well trained, so friendly, and so caring, and my girl always has a big smile on her face when she's dropped off and picked up. They upload the cutest photos to Remini every day, and they always answer the phone if I need to check up on her. The communication is stellar and they are extremely organized. I also love that they have a flexible schedule and are so easy to work with. They also have such an emphasis on cleanliness, especially during these times, which puts my mind at ease. Thank you so much, Shalom, for welcoming Lillian and us into your family and for taking such good care of her. If you decide to enroll your children at Shalom, rest assured that they will be in the absolute best of hands.

As a first time parent of a 7 month old during the height of Covid, needless to say, I was a bit…read morenervous about sending my son to day care, on top of the fact that I was dreading not getting to spend every day with him; but working from home while taking care of him was no longer possible. The first few weeks were hard (mostly for me), but the teachers and staff at Shalom made the transition process seamless. After 10 months at Shalom, I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. The safety precautions they have in place ease my mind each day when I drop Jack off; and the joyful squeal of "school" or "April" (his teacher's name) as we pull up in front of the building lets me know how much Jack enjoys his days there. His teachers have taught him to say "more" in sign language, to draw and paint, to sing and dance to a variety of kids songs, and to play nicely with his friends. Shalom is a warm and caring environment - from the top down. The Directors, Michele and Providence, are warm and welcoming and clearly care about all of the Shalom families. Not only do they run the school incredibly well, but they have given me parenting tips. If you are looking for an amazing experience for you and your children, Shalom is definitely the right place.

My son has been going to Ms. Dawn's Child care for almost a year now and he loves it. When we…read morestarted looking for childcare we weren't sure what to look for, but after visiting several places we started noticing the differences between them and ultimately our choice was narrowed to something we consider the key ingredient for a successful childcare... and the key ingredient is Care. The day we visited Ms. Dawn's for the first time we were happy to witness one of the teachers affectionately hugging one of the kids while the whole class was singing the "I love you" song and I was happy to know he would initially be in her class. He has since then graduated to nursery and I am amazed by how much he has learned and how eager he is to continue to learn. Big thank you to all the staff not only for all you teach him but mostly for all the love.

I am a working mom who unfortunately only got 12 week maternity leave. Dropping your 3 month baby off a day care is stressful. I knew from day one they were in good hands with Margarita and her staff. They treat each and every child with so much care and are on top of all the rules and codes to ensure safety. My eldest is 7 and my youngest is 4 and just left to enter PreK. The amount of preparation they have going into structured school is unbelievable. They both still talk about visiting Margaritas constantly as she has become family and we would never miss a Holiday party where many kids come back to see everyone.

Emails and requests go unanswered. There is zero management or accountability in this place. It is a constant revolving door of underqualified, non-vetted staff. When they are able to recruit decent teachers, they lose them within weeks once they realize the chaotic mess that this facility is. The saddest part is that their sister program in Massapequa (Amy the Massapequa Director is amazing) runs a top notch program, but unfortunately I can't recommend them either as they are under the same ownership.
