Our daughter has been attending Peter Pan and Wendy since she was 6mo old. Tanya and her team are attentive, communicative, flexible and create a very warm and welcoming environment for the children. Our baby is always clean, happy at drop off and pickup and it is clear that the staff have a genuine care for the kids in their care. As new parents, we are so grateful for this team! Tanya has also been incredibly helpful with advice when starting solids, and various developmental milestones. read more

Amazing staff!!! Your child will be happy to attend this daycare very responsive and always happy to help! read more

My older child did daycare and 3K with Peter Pan and Wendy, and my younger child attends daycare there now. Every caregiver is warm and loving-- both of my kids are thrilled to see them at the door each morning. Tanya and her team plan fun activities for the children, including crafts, coloring, baking, outdoor play, planting seeds, and more. The rates are more affordable than other daycares we toured. Peter Pan and Wendy is a terrific choice for daycare and 3K! read more

The owner and staff are kind hearted and just awesome people all around. They take the time to learn your child's personality and how to target any problem areas and always fill you in with any milestones or any changes in behavior! It's puts you at ease when your busy day stresses you out but they always seem to make it all better when you pick up your child after a stressful day and they don't want to leave! If it was up to me, my son would stay there till high school!!! Lol. Also, I love the little craft they do there, seems to me as a great for the development of my LO)) I recommend this wonderful daycare, and keep up the amazing job and being at ease knowing my child is in the safest and most caring hands!!!! read more

Peter Pan & Wendy Daycare - Halloween craft - Preschools Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Happy kid comes home everyday. Baby whisperers/art connoisseurs/ the greatest 1st teachers.

My son started Peter Pan & Wendy at 4 months old and has been there full time for the past 1.5 years. Here are the facts: 1. He has never cried at drop off. In fact, more often than not he is so excited to see the caregivers that I feel a slight twinge of mom jealousy 2. He is almost always in a good mood at pickup- if you know toddlers you know how telling this is! 3. He is always received with incredible warmth and affection by each of the caregivers, to the extend that I firmly believe each lady is very much bonded with each individual child and genuinely cares about their well being and development 4. He is healthy and thriving, bringing home new skills and interests 5. Tanya, the owner and manager, is an approachable and conscientious professional, who clearly cares about the kids as well as respects the parents. I have full trust in her judgement and order of priorities. 6. The 2 times he had a fever I was immediately contacted. Any health/behavior concern is always brought to the parents attention. I also know that if I have any questions or concerns I can always reach Tanya. 7. I love that he spends time outside every day and that there are lots of different organized activities for the inside- kids aren't just left to their own devices. It is clear that care is taken when planning the kids' schedule and projects are designed to nurture the kids' development. 8. The other parents and kids we run into at pick up/drop off are all lovely, polite and pleasant! Tanya and her staff have helped to minimize the enormous mental load of early parenthood for us because we know our son is so well cared for. read more

So glad this place was in my Hood. My son have been going since 5 months. They have a good outdoor space, great staff, they do projects and activities every day. They are really good about knowing when he is sick or having an issue before we do, and helped with everything for teething to potty training, which he did at 22 months thanks their help. They have been very safe and open during the pandemic and we all tested for antibodies and COVID and got negative results (well me and my wife, we didn't test little guy). Very reasonable and flexible. Tanya is a godsend. read more

Our son was enrolled at Peter Pan & Wendy for two years, since he was 8 months old. He attended full days 3-4 days a week. We had a great experience are very grateful to the amazing staff in this day care for providing a warm and nurturing environment and supporting our child's development. I highly recommend this day care because of their well trained and professional staff, who always make sure to keep parents well informed of the child's activities and status throughout the day. read more

Peter Pan & Wendy Daycare - Preschools Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My 5 year old loves this daycare! There are tons of projects and I love that they always do nature exploration stuff. The outdoor space is really nice. Staff is knowledgeable and caring. I'm glad I found this place. read more

THIS PLACE IS WONDERFUL! This daycare is probably one of (if only) the cleanest places I have ever given my son to. All the floors, toys, even the backyard is spotless. I would like to add that the backyard is completely private from the public. The environment is a kids dream. My son loves it there. Always asks if he is coming back tomorrow.... even on the weekends. The staff is super courteous and definitely great with the kids. Bless them all for being open and available during the pandemic. Also, Tatyana and her staff are completely knowledgable about their work. Their advise, especially, from Tatyana was actually genuine and very insightful. You are in very trusted and good hands sending your child to this daycare. read more

My son was 2 when we started at Peter Pan and Wendy and we love it! Tanya , Lubya and all of the teachers were wonderful during his first week of transition into daycare. They serve healthy food and I love that they do interactive home activities like cooking and gardening. And the kids have a ton of free outdoor playtime in the backyard. We went with Peter Pan and Wendy for 3k and I would've continued for pre k too if they would've allowed it. We are so grateful for Peter Pan and Wendy in our lives ! read more

Wonderful daycare! The staff are so kind and accommodating ! My son always has a big smile walking in and and when I come pick him up. Always bringing home an project that he's done. It's a small daycare too which I like a lot. Highly recommended ! read more

Both of my kids attended Peter Pan and Wendy, and we are so grateful they did. My son and daughter developed really well under their care and we're so happy with our experience. Their loving caretakers were great, as well as Tanya who clearly cares about each of the kids as well as the parents. I highly recommend this daycare and their cozy environment! read more

My son's small and home-based daycare Peter Pan & Wendy is open for children of essential workers right now. They are going to great lengths to keep it sanitary and keep the kids & us families safe. I was very happy with them pre-COVID and and am now incredibly grateful to have them during this time. The owner serves fresh, hot, healthy food everyday, the children play outside everyday in the backyard, and they do lots of educational activities like art, reading, music, stretching, playing with blocks, and special parties on holidays. They have started to potty train my son at only 21 months and he is doing great! And he has learned counting, many new words, and social skills from them. read more

Our son has been attending Peter Pan & Wendy Daycare since he was 3 months old. When we approach the front door he is ALL smiles because he loves coming to daycare! Communication is very good with the daily written updates that log our son's naps snacks, poohs and food; he's starting on solids and we don't have to supply that, but they give feedback on what foods he likes. The caregivers are friendly and show an obvious love for what they do. Highly recommended, reasonably priced and convenient for South Sloper parents. read more

We LOVE Peter Pan & Wendy Daycare. Our daughter started attending when she was 4 months old, and she's now 3. She has made wonderful friends and is a well-adjusted, happy kid. Our daughter says "I love you" to her teachers when she leaves every day. We have never worried about her well-being, and the owner is extremely communicative and responsive. We actually moved from North Slope to be closer to Peter Pan & Wendy Daycare 2 years ago and are so happy we did so! read more

Both of my children went to Peter Pan & Wendy at different points for over 2 years. This place is wonderful. I cannot say enough good things. What really made me feel so great about bringing both my children there was that I could tell that all of the staff and the owner truly loved my children. And I knew they would care for them as if they were their own. And both of my kids learned so much as well. I highly recommend them. read more

We love PP&W! Our son has been in their care full time since he was 4 months old and smiles everyday when I drop him off. It is the best feeling to see him so happy as I hand him off to his caregivers! It is an extremely clean and healthy environment with a great little backyard space for them to play in when the weather is nice. They have music class every Tuesday and the meals provided are organic and yummy. They are great at keeping him on schedule and have helped tremendously in his transition from puree's to finger foods! Their daily communication on his day is wonderful and Tanya is always available via email to answer any additional questions I may have. I am so happy we found PP&W ! read more

I'm so grateful to have found this preschool. Both of my kids attended; my daughter graduated when she was 3 and my son still attends. Both kids loved going to school in the morning. Tanya is amazing with the kids and always has creative new activities planned. Both of my kids learned so much, letters, numbers, colors, etc. My son, in particular, likes the food he gets at school more than the food I give him at home. :-) read more

We still LOVE Peter Pan & Wendy, even a year and half after we left.  We actually moved to NJ so the kids are at a daycare out here, which is great, but not the same - which makes me appreciate Peter Pan even more.  Both my kids - who have very different personalities and temperaments truly thrived at Peter Pan.  (Sometimes I feel guilty that my younger one got less time there :-(  Tanya, the owner, really builds a family from the daycare, and each kid gets specialized attention for what they need individually to grow, and play and learn.  (My son was "ahead" of his peers when we came to the new daycare in NJ.)  We are still in touch with Tanya and other friends from Peter Pan - that's how meaningful their time there was. read more

Our son has been attending Peter Pan and Wendy Daycare for 3 months now. We could not be happier. I conducted a lengthy and thorough search of daycare providers upon our move to the neighborhood in January 2014. He even started at one daycare, but after a week, I sensed he was not thriving, and I had a knot in my stomach every time I dropped him off. Then I found Peter Pan and Wendy and I discovered it IS possible to feel nothing but fantastic and 100% sure of your decision, and to leave smiling when you drop your child off with someone. Tanya, the owner, is warm and sweet with the kids, but also very professional and wonderfully direct. Our son has learned so much in only 3 months in her care. He is a great sharer, and I credit her with this. Also, Tanya has initiated potty training, and it's going very well. The atmosphere is cheerful, impeccably clean, and there is a huge yard that she has covered with soft black playground material. They even do gardening! Tanya won me over in the initial visit, when she said, "We want the kids to know tomatoes don't come from the store." Food is provided, and it is so nice not to have to scramble to get his lunch and snacks together every morning. Tanya is opening a new location nearby very soon, so there will be space available! I cannot say enough good things about this daycare. Oh, and when we pick him up, our son points to the door and says, "More, more?" because he has so much fun there. read more

Tanya and her staff are incredible. Our child had a tough transition to daycare but they were so incredibly warm and welcoming and pretty soon he was excited to go. Tanya is the most creative mom I know, constantly coming up with new projects and ideas, and our son comes home with such fun things to show and tell us. She is also super responsive and very willing to work with you based on your child's individual schedule, needs, interests etc. We are beyond grateful for Tanya and her crew! read more

Our kid loves this place. He's been attending for almost a year (since October 2013) and here are my impressions: - very caring and attentive staff - lively atmosphere - very well stocked - a lot of fun for kids in the summer with the backyard - great food menu for kids - staff communicates with you constantly - splendid list of activities that kids enjoy (there is a project that our kid brings home every day!) - best hours (this includes holidays) of any day care in the area. In general my wife and I are very pleased with this establishment. read more

Tanya and all the teachers are amazing people and child-whisperers. We sent both our kids there as soon as maternity leave was over and they loved it right away and blossomed the whole time (over 3 years for one and a bit over a year for the other until we left NY). Tanya is loving and creative and smart and looks for the same in the folk she hires. They treated our kids like their family, from the warm love they received, the stimulating projects they did, and the character development they fostered. (Also, the food is organic and healthy!) The friendships they made are still strong over a year later after we moved, and we imagine for many, many years to come because of the bonds they foster at Peter Pan. read more

What a lovely place to be. From start to finish, my son has a schedule that is easy to stick to on weekends. Any suggestion or request is met with even better ideas for me and my little one. Healthy menu and full day of activities that included splash time on summer days in shaded play area outdoors, planting seedlings and crafts time. Caring young ladies who greet us with a smile and send us off with a happy child home who sometimes doesn't want to go home. Thank you for your constant care and accommodating services. It's a huge relief to know that my child is in great loving hands. Tania (the owner) always reaches out to you with her immense expertise in taking precious care of kids, which seems to be second nature to her. It is invaluable to have a place to trust with your one and only. read more

My son was attending Peter Pan & Wendy for 2,5 years. This daycare is amazing, we were truly fortunate to find it. The staff is very caring, they became like family to us. The everyday menu is cooked on site, it is of great variety and very healthy. There is quinoa, buckwheat, pasta, lots of various vegetables, home made baking. They do cooking classes there, different science experiments, music classes, reading books, creative art projects every day. They taught my son alphabet and numbers, assisted with potty training at the age of 2.5. They also had special russian alphabet lessons to a group of russian children (my son included). Overall just amazing experience. We couldn't be happier with the care at PP&W! read more

We love Peter Pan and Wendy. My daughter has been going since she was 3.5 months, and she is currently 21 months. She loves going every day, and I love knowing she is happy, safe and engaged. From baking sponge cake and making bean soup to planting wheatgrass, they do fun stuff, and each day she comes home with something she has made (sometimes with help) whether it's a snail made of clay or a painted color worksheet. They really know my kid, and the staff is lovely. Highly recommend. read more

Let me preface this by saying that I sent my older child to another daycare for 3 years, until he was ready for preschool, and we were in love with that daycare. The woman who ran it out of her home became like family to us. So, when we moved and needed a new daycare closer for our younger child, it broke our hearts to have to switch. I'm glad we found Peter Pan & Wendy. We have been with them for 9 months now. My younger child, N, absolutely loves it! He was 19 months when we switched, and took to the new place right away. Part of it, I think, is that he's the "baby" at home but got to be the "big kid" at daycare, with so many infants there. He eats well at PP&W, naps fine, plays a lot, and they tell me he loves to help the babies. He comes home each day with a new "project" he did -- one week he even brought home his own plant! He did special Mother's and Father's Day projects, and they had a little Halloween party for the kids so I got to send him in costume. He's always in a good mood when I pick him up and loves to tell me what he did and who he played with. PP&W have a separate play room, kitchen, nap room, and covered outdoor area with plenty of toys. They make all their own fresh food for the kids; N eats lots of vegetables there! Kids can nap in a crib, pack n' play, or on a mat, and are welcome to bring their own loveys. The staff are extremely accommodating and have been flexible the times I need to adjust N's hours or do extra time, such as when I've been sick or need to go to a school function for my older child. The only reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 is because they charge extra for any time outside the contracted hours: vacation days, which start after 6 months, are still 50% of the rate; late fees start 5 minutes after the scheduled pickup time; and extra hours (early dropoff or scheduled late pickup) are time and a half. On the one hand, since N only goes two days a week I find this kind of bothersome; on the other hand, they *are* running a business and their rates are more than reasonable (much less than other big, fancy daycares in the area and much, much less than a nanny) and their business is taking care of my child and making sure he's happy - which they do well, and he is! The bottom line is that this place is clean and cheerful, the staff are friendly, warm and professional, and the children are happy and well cared for, all for very reasonable rates. I highly recommend. read more

I really liked this place. The place provides children with a fun and exciting learning environment in a loving and warm, home-style atmosphere. It is safe and fun! read more

We brought our child to this daycare sometime ago, only based on great reviews, but just about a month later regretted it horribly. This Ukrainian woman and her Russian husband are absolutely horrible and dishonest people. Many things happened there within just 2 months, hard to be brief, will mention a few: Number 1: Our child was placed into the wrong location - for the kids of older age, instead of the location for kids under 2 years old. Even though we paid the higher price for the location for kids under 2 (our child was just a bit over 12 months at that time), in this other location there are way to many kids for just 1-2 sitters and costs less than the other location for which we paid. When we found out, we asked to place our child to the location for which we are paying, but this owner Tatiana refused to do so, and refused to pay back the difference in cost. Number 2: As the result of that our child got injured three times in this location: two times resulted in the trip to the ER, as her elbow was misplaced - like the doctors at the ER stated elbow could be misplaced like that only by having someone much bigger pulling it from its socket by either a much bigger stronger child or by an adult. They said most likely by an adult because it takes a lot of force to misplace it that way. Number 3: when we did come to pick up our child was crying and in horrible pain and the sitters there pretended that they did not notice that at all ( it was literally impossible not to notice, because the child was in excruciating pain and crying non-stop!) Well they pretended. When we called the owner, she tried to turn the situation around and pretended that she also did not notice any pain or any crying and tried to blame us and said that it was probably us who pulled it. Fortunately the ER doctors were able to place the elbow back into its socket, but they said best is to not have our child in the location where there is not even enough sitters to watch the kids ( there was only 1 sitter that day when it happened, Bec like they told s the other sitter got sick, so there was 1 sitter for 10-12 kids!!) Number 4: this owner woman and her husband are absolutely disgusting dishonest characters who tried to not return us the full deposit and also promised at first to refund back for the days when the child was away due to this injury, but never did refund us. What is even worse - she told us to come to pick it up the next day in the evening, after the end of the work day, but then hid herself inside and asked a sitter girl who works there to lie to us that she was not there (even though we clearly saw her in the window, which was ridiculous). We said we will wait for her as she promised to give us back our deposit that evening, & waited outside, but she called her husband to come over to pick her up and when he arrived she walked out and he called the police and tried to pretend that we are "stalking" his wife! Especially ridiculous was the fact that when calling the police we were standing with our kids in our arms, and this husband of hers counted them into the number of "stalking" his wife people! Unbelievable. When police arrived, they saw that "stalkers"were a family couple with tiny kids who simply came to pick up their deposit based on the owner's text messages asking to come at this time!, So they smiled and left, but this was the most laughable and disgusting display of what kind of people this couple really is. Police have advised to us: "based on all this evidence that you have you really should file a law suit against this business owner", but we decided not to waste our family time on these low persons. However if after this review this couple will try to threaten us again, we will certainly go for it. Otherwise, we just wanted to let others know & leave it at that. Number 5: earlier when our child was having a runny nose on some days because of an allergy, & we brought the doctor's note that the runny nose is a symptom of allergic reaction and not contagious in any way, as well as all other doctors notes and docs supporting that- this owner refused to take our child to the daycare those days in spite of lengthy paperwork. Even though she is the one who requested this doctors note herself, she refused to even look at it, & did not let our child into the daycare all those days, even though of course this days were paid for at the daycare & she never returned this money for those days! So we wasted lots of money on the doctors visit, those daycare days, and also our work days pay, as we were unable to go to work and had no place to leave the child at.It was a complete nightmare! I'm not going to go into details about many more horrid occasions with this biz owner Tatiana, but our personal opinion and strong recommendation is to stay away from these dishonest people and unsafe place. (We have all the documents, doctors notes, ER visits documents, pictures and screen shots of all messages) read more

My daughter went to Peter Pan and Wendy Daycare from age 3 months until 20 months and absolutely loved it. From our first interview with Tanya, we could tell that she and her staff were very reliable, experienced and caring. We could easily see how much my daughter enjoyed being there by how happy she was when we dropped her off and how excited she was to tell us about her day when we picked her up. We are amazed at how quickly she has been learning, from getting familiar with the potty to learning numbers, the alphabet and lots and lots of songs. If we weren't moving from the area, we would keep her there as long as possible. I very highly recommend them to everyone. read more

Our 1 year old son started at the Peter Pan & Wendy Daycare in September and we couldn't be happier. We loved our previous daycare but could no longer handle the commute from Kensington to Sunset Park. Our son has a huge smile when we drop him off every morning and is in a good mood when we pick him up.The staff is very attentive and friendly. They feed him a healthy breakfast, lunch and snack. Oh and he is already using the potty! We are also given a written summary at the end of the day with nap hours, diaper changes, food, bottles, etc. I couldn't recommend Peter Pan & Wendy more! Its also more affordable than most daycares you'll find in the area. read more

Our daughter has now been at Peter Pan & Wendy for almost four months. She started as a tiny thing of three months old and she has thrived in their care. There is a true sense of warmth and fun there with the caretakers really holding the kids, playing with them and attending to their needs. Our little one is happy when she arrives there and she's happy when we pick her up. She gets all the changes, feedings and naps that we'd want. We switched from a fairly popular, well-reviewed Park Slope day care to here and it's been appreciably better for us. read more

We had our daughter in Tanya's care while Tanya was at the Tiny Steps day care on 4th Ave. It was our first experience with day care, and we were apprehensive. Tanya's caring and professionalism quickly put those concerns to rest -- and it was clear that our daughter very much enjoyed the experience. When we moved our daughter to another Tiny Steps location (for no reason other than distance), we were genuinely sad that Tanya would no longer care for her. Her passion for and knowledge of this line of work are obvious. read more

My son started at Peter Pan and Wendy daycare in November. I have been thrilled with the care he has received from the start! Tanya the director keeps things clean with age appropriate toys and books. She pleasantly encourages development and my son is always excited to arrive and play. Tanya is also willing to use cloth diapers. After staying home with my son for 8 months it was difficult leaving my son, but Tanya made all my worries subside. read more

My daughter started at Peter Pan & Wendy at 14 weeks. She's my first child and I was nervous leaving her somewhere so young. But now she is 6.5 months and is thriving and happy here. Tanya (the owner) and her staff obviously love and dote on the children here and my baby is always happy coming and going. It is clean, colorful, organized, has children's music playing, and there is a nice yard and the children go outside every day (weather permitting!). I highly recommend this daycare! read more

My 3-year-old son has attended Peter Pan and Wendy since July. Until then he had never been in a group childcare setting, and we were apprehensive about how he would respond to being away from us in a full-time program for the first time. Our experience has been nothing short of fantastic. My son moved to the new location (for toddlers) after a month, which is spacious, bright, and has a large backyard. He loves his teachers and is very excited to go to "school" every day. The daycare has a music class and Spanish instruction, which I am very excited about. I've found the teachers and Tanya, the director, to be very helpful and responsive. All in all, I am delighted with how my son has thrived since he has been at this daycare. read more

Peter Pan and Wendy is warm, bright, safe, friendly, and welcoming. My husband and I knew we would be comfortable leaving our 7 month old daughter at Peter Pan and Wendy the moment we walked in the door. Tanya, the manager, is experienced, kind, accommodating, and wonderful with our infant. While being with Tanya would be enough on its own, the facility is lovely and includes a spacious and shaded outdoor area. Tanya cares deeply about her work and is striving to create the most nurturing and appropriately stimulating environment possible for children. We feel incredibly lucky to have gotten a space for our daughter with her. read more

We got very lucky when we found Peter Pan and Wendy Daycare. My son started there at 6 months and is almost 15 months now. I would have started him there soon but thought I'd use up my company's 3 free weeks of childcare in the city first. I love Peter Pan and Wendy more than the place in Manhattan because of the outdoor space and wonderful healthy meals they include daily, which makes drop off a breeze because I don't have to prepare his meals for the day. Plus Tanya and all the girls there love my son so much and take extra special care of him. They give me daily updates and genuinely get excited to tell me about new things he's doing. They also teach him stuff I wouldn't necessarily teach him at home. One of the first words I heard him say at home was dog and he pointed to our dog. This was amazing to me because we always call our dog by her name but never say the word dog. When I asked Tanya if she teaches the kids about dogs she said "everyday, we say doggie goes woof, woof and cats say meow." This is just one example of many things that my son learns with Tanya and the other caregivers and then he connects with something at home. Secondly, Tanya and the girls take the kids outside as much as possible. They have a huge outdoor space and lots of outdoor toys. When my son was very young, they would set his stroller up outside and let him get lots of fresh air. The place he went to in Manhattan was in the basement of a high rise and during the 3 weeks he was there they didn't take him outside once. Even now that it's summer they try to take them out in the mornings before it gets too hot. On the rare day it rains all day long, my son will have a couple of extra art projects for me. What I also love about Peter Pan and Wendy daycare is they have a separate room for naps, which the place in Manhattan didn't have. Tanya and the other caregivers have my son on a great nap routine and he's very happy on the weekends to take naps too. Most importantly, my son loves Tanya along with the other caregivers and kids in his class there. He's super excited in the morning to press the buzzer to the daycare and see the caregivers smiling faces and play with his buddies. He also comes home happy too. Overall the place is a 10 out of 10. I would gladly recommend this place to anyone I know who is looking for an amazing daycare. read more
