Stay away !!!! This place is not for working families…read more They will call you for no reason to pic up the kid. Those are there rules and thats it. Dawn is not the honest person to deal with. Any argument she will make you pay. Extra fees are everywhere. Other places are more convenient and loving. Early drop off is a rip off there. You are paying for lunch that basically kids don't eat. Need to supply them with extra. My daughter was left in cold weather outside, shivering from cold and crying, I found her in playgrounds and teachers says.... We gave her hugs and kisses I hope she will be well. Teachers are changing very frequently. That make it very strange. Either there are overwhelmed or underpaid.

The school is absolutely wonderful with a fun, stimulating and varied curriculum. In my opinion…read moreit's a perfect balance of activities that incorporate all the critical early development milestones. There is both predictability in the schedule blended with new experiences. My children love it there and cannot wait to return for another year. Location is ideal. The playground and outdoor scenery is picturesque, located on a one way quiet and clean residential street. The classroom is bright and inviting. My kids absolutely love love the art projects. There is even group yoga!! And introduction of computer skills. I think it's great how there are different themes throughout the school year with emphasis on important health, science, safety, and community topics and more. The staff are warm, friendly, patient and professional and they seem very well versed in early childhood development and education. The drop off and pick up are well organized. It is amazing how much my child has excelled and matured socially and emotionally thanks to this wonderful, thoughtful and well laid out program. Definitely highly recommend!!!

I went here when I was 3, I'm now almost 25 and remember clearly and vividly the emotional and…read moreverbal abuse Cacchioli would put me and other kids through. She would call me stupid and ugly all time time. There was a LOT of public shaming and yelling this woman is pure evil. I wasn't 100% perfect potty trained at that age and had an accident in the bathroom, and she got so angry I was scared to admit it was me. She forced another child, whose name I remember very clearly because she would abuse him and cause him to cry ALL the time, to clean it up. Sad to hear she's still kicking and In business and abusing children still. An investigation needs to be done on her. Unless you want your kid to be traumatized for the rest of their life and responsible for years worth of therapy do not send them here. Also the classroom has not changed at all in 23 years. The cubbies in the back would fall right on top of the kids they are not secured. They do not care about anything, minimal effort on all fronts when providing for children

Both of my kids have been attending TLC since about 6 months old and have for a few years now…read more I'll start by talking to parents who are already on the fence or nervous about daycare. What I say often is that if we didnt 'need' to put our kids into daycare, we still would (at least part time). I attribute my (older) kid's personality, outgoingness, and even her high level of empathy to TLC. You'll hear people describe daycare as handing your kids over to 'strangers'. These caregivers/teachers become family to your child. I feel good every morning knowing that my kids are usually getting a big hug on arrival from a teacher who truly wants the best for them. Your kids will get more attention, more socialization, and have more learning than I think any solo parent could do at home. My 3 year old has more friends than me. The best thing about TLC is the amount of activities they do, to name just a few: Valentines Party, Friendsgiving, Visit form Santa, Visit from police officer, fire fighter, dentist, a petting zoo day, Chinese New Year celebration, Fall festival, dinosaur fossils, yoga, making Challah bread, halloween party and trunk or treat, in the summer water play almost every day. This is really just a small sample.

I like overall this place. Teachers are great. However,…read morethey have gone crazy with the prices. Not only they have an annual "registration" fee on top of your very high, well above average fee, they also increase fees 10% annually. They are trying to upsale... constantly. Talking to the kids about all these pricy extra activities that happen at the same time they are there: yoga class, cooking class... I'm already paying 3k a month... why do I need to pay for activities while my kids are there?

My third child will graduate NSNS this year and we could not be happier with our experience at this…read morenursery school. We switched from another local nursery school when my oldest was heading to PreK years ago and we've been here ever since. The teachers are SO loving and accommodating. Parents are welcome in the classrooms for their child's "special day" various times throughout the year, so you always feel connected to your child's daily experiences, as well as get to know their classmates. This was the ideal nursery school environment for us for the past 6 years and NSNS will always hold a special place in our hearts for the love, nurturing and education that it gave to our children.

There are some negative reviews here that don't reflect our experience at Goddard. My son has…read moreattended this school since he was 1.5 years old (he's is almost 4). Before daycare, we had an au pair, but we felt he would benefit more from being around other children. Of all the options we explored, Goddard was by far the best choice. The school is safe, clean, and has plenty of outdoor space for kids to run and play, plus an indoor gym for rainy or very cold days. The staff is passionate about their work, maintains strict teacher-to-child ratios, and follows a curriculum that balances fun with learning. We receive photos throughout the day and a helpful en-of-day report. We've been very happy with all my son's teachers over the years. They've made him feel special, encouraged his growth, and helped him form strong friendships. The children motivate one another in such a positive way. Some people mention that tuition is higher than other schools, but we feel it's worth it for the level of care and education provided. You do need to pack lunch and snacks daily, but that's no different from feeding your child at home-and it ensures they'll eat food they enjoy. Coming from NYC, we were expecting long daycare waitlists, so we reached out six months before his start date. To our surprise, we had no issues getting a spot, and he's been enrolled full time since day one. We highly recommend this school.

I get the feeling that this daycare is nothing more than a money grab. They presented well at…read morefirst, but it quickly became apparent to me that they prioritize profit over care. Where other comparable schools charge $50 for enrollment, Goddard charges $350 non-refundable and then tells you they won't have space for your child. Other schools provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks - at Goddard, despite the tuition being double, there is no lunch provided. If you need to withdraw your child, many schools have a 30-day opt-out clause - Goddard's opt-out clause is 60 days, and you need to be careful because they are extremely vague and unclear when it comes to money. The teachers seemed entirely disinterested in the families and children, the outdoor space is tiny, and the overall environment did not feel welcoming.

LEARN THROUGH PLAY!!!! This is how preschool is supposed to be! The Roslyn Co-op is the place I…read morechose for my children because it allows them to learn and grow while fostering a true love for learning, friendship and their environment. The teachers, teaching assistants and aides are bright, kind, attentive, astute, warm and nurturing and all truly love what they do everyday as teachers. They truly appreciate every child for who he or she is and work so hard to cherish individuality. The program is so unique because families are given the opportunity to be in the classroom once a month or so with their child observing and living hands on what their experience is. So unique and special. The director of the school is brilliant in her field, an ultimate source of parenting knowledge and really the beating heart of the school. She knows each family at the school and cares about the integrity and quality of the program meeting each family's needs! This school is where I have met many family friends and where I would urge anyone looking for a wonderful preschool program to go!

It's hard to even get a director to look your way to greet you, but they sure are willing to talk about payments due! That is literally the only time they fake nice. This one director (or assistant), Jessica, is always loudly gossiping at the end of the day. Unprofessional as parents are walking by. Some other director Briana was also extremely condescending and rude on the phone. The place just has a chaotic and heavy energy. Avoid.
