    My two children have been attending Building Blocks for about a month now, and we all really love…read moreit. Even though it's a new preschool in town, the director Mandy is not new to teaching or running preschools, as she has another location in the city. Her experience is evident from how she has set up the school to how she interacts with the children. My 2 and 4 year old boys have had no issues transitioning to this school. They are always excited to go and happy when they talk about what they did at school. I love that Mandy does a lot with nature. In just the past few weeks, they have studied ants and spiders. She took them out on a rainy day to look for worms, and they are currently observing caterpillars. My boys are there for half day only, and they get about an hour of outdoor time each day. (I believe the full day children get another hour of outdoor time in the afternoons as well.) Mandy has set up her space well to accommodate the needs of the varying ages, 2 - 5. She has 2 different rooms for exploration/play time, a separate area for projects and snack, and a third indoor playroom for when the weather is too rough to get outside. She also has a large playground area and a big field for the children to run around in. One thing I appreciate is that Mandy makes things so much easier on the parents. They may all be little things, but they really make a difference. She provides the morning snack (and sometimes the children help cook it!), she allows you to keep your children's backup clothes, water bottle, boots, etc. at the school so that there isn't much you need to think about when packing up a bag for the day. She is also flexible. She has allowed me to drop off my boys an hour early for me to get to an appointment, and she has allowed them to come on their off-days during a week that I needed more drop-off time. At the end of each day, Mandy sends a detailed report that includes what the boys ate and how much, potty information, special activities they were involved in, items they played with, stories that were read to them, and any other general comments that were pertinent for the day. She also has the confidence to offer a live nanny cam so you can "pop in" and check and see how things are going while you are away. We are very happy at Building Blocks and would encourage anyone looking for a preschool in New Paltz to give Mandy a call/email and set up a tour.

    We love Building Blocks and both our kids have enjoyed going there. Mandy is fantastic and the…read moreschool is so warm and fun. Highly recommend.

That peace of mind as a parent is truly priceless as I work all day long. The staff are caring, warm, and inclusive to all children. They've created a safe environment where my son has been able to grow and build connections with staff and kids. My son looks forward to seeing his teachers each day in his class and all of his friends. He is happy to go, comes home smiling, and has formed strong bonds with both staff and friends. We appreciate all of the updates we receive and enjoy seeing daily pictures of what he did throughout the day.

From the very beginning, the staff at Prime Time made that transition so much easier for me. They showed such genuine kindness and patience with both me and my baby. As a new mom, I had a lot of worries--especially when she was having trouble eating at first. Instead of brushing off my concerns, they were incredibly attentive and reassuring. They kept a close eye on her, communicated with me throughout the day, and worked with me to make sure she was comfortable and getting what she needed. Their level of care and understanding meant the world to me during a time when I was already feeling emotional about being away from her. Knowing that she was with people who were nurturing, patient, and truly cared about her well-being gave me so much peace of mind while I was at work. They created a warm, supportive environment not just for the babies, but for the parents too. I'm so grateful for the love and attention they gave my daughter during such an important stage of her life. Any parent would be lucky to have their child in the care of such compassionate and dedicated caregivers. Thank you Eva, Sheyla, Brytanii, and everyone at Prime Time!! We will miss you guys!

    Updated Review July 2024…read more I've removed my child from this School. My son is now 3yrs, from 7months to about 16months things remained the same as what is described above. He stepped up to another class in which he was the youngest, Mrs. Forbes (Owner/Director) asked because she needed to make room for another child. My wife and I agreed, we felt like it wasn't a big deal. Unfortunately the level a care went down tremendously. For example: Diapers not being put on properly on multiple occasions, using someone else's diapers, my son had scratches on his arm because an employee was allowed to grow their nails out and in the mist of trying to save my son from bumping his head on a sink, she grab him and left scratches on his arm ( This incident happen mid week Mrs. Forbes didn't look into the matter or contact me about the matter until 2 weeks later). My son eventually was removed from that classroom due to several meetings I had discussing the same issues over and over with Mrs.Forbes who would make excuses and referred to First Step's as the best daycare in middletown and no other place provides the type of services she does. After the countless meetings, my son was place in a class that had kids younger then him. Mrs. Forbes felt like the teacher was competent in which she was. Things got back on track, he had some regression being in a class with kids that were younger then him in which there was some behavioral issues but the teacher stuck it out and assisted in getting him potty train which we greatly appreciated. Most individuals would ask why leave those things are minor, your child is happy and well taken care of after you had several meetings. Under the suggestion of Mrs.Forbes we had our son's behavior evaluated, findings came back normal with the exception of him needing a new environment. Mrs. Forbes is condescending, her attitude is nasty, she believes the parents have some obligation to her and the way she wants things done, there is no accountability, and she forgets that she works for the parents and children. I gave a four weeks notice before I left, I ultimately pulled my son out before the agreed time because she is not a woman of her word, as far as contract and hours that were suppose to be given. Mrs. Forbes made and executive decision to give me a credit instead of honoring the last 2weeks at 12hr days. Mrs. Forbes made it seem like she was doing me a favor when gave me a credit. Mrs. Forbes didn't stand by her word, when that was brought to her attention she disregarded what was agreed on and basically ignored the agreement that was made. My wife and I were upset over agreement that was made that she didn't honor. So we called for a meeting (Monday). Mrs. Forbes has a camera as well as a mic outside her door, my wife who does not curse called her a witch because she did not honor the agreement we set. Mrs. Forbes then called me to call me unprofessional and how she had patience with my wife and I. I think i had the patience. I will never recommend her business again. Good Luck to the Guy I Seen outside trying to get a spot at Missed Steps. FYI We did get our deposit back, i believe it was out of damage control rather than sincerity.

    I don't usually write reviews but I really feel like this center needs to be recognized. First…read moreSteps is always concerned about the safety of their children. The center is always kept clean and you can tell the owner really loves what she does and cares for my daughter like she's her own. It's like a home away from home for my daughter who loves it there. There was separation anxiety at first which is normal when first being introduced to a new environment, but now she really enjoys it. I can really see a change in her developmentally. I love this place. It's really a step up from all other day care's. They really put in the time and effort. I wish this place was open when I had my first first daughter!
