I clearly needed a job as I was in touch with her for months, with no car, and she took advantage of that. Yeseniah and the other worker, I think named Lady, demonstrated that have no education or know-how in working with children with autism and I did not think they were appropriate with the one autistic child of the bunch (I'm also on the spectrum). This poor little girl was not okay, mostly screaming and covering her ears the time I was there until she was left to just hang out with the adults and do her own thing while the other kids went in the playroom. because that's exactly how ASD goes. after the shift, I called Yeseniah a week later and threatened to report her to the Department of Labor if she did not give me my due payment for my one shift. gratefully I got it! So I'm writing this because I know teenage girls are gonna look into that position, get robbed and think it's normal. Ladies, DONT GET EXPLOITED! dont let anyone mess with your money.

The Learning Experience - Massapequa

My daughter attended TLE for almost three years until she started kindergarten this past September…read more There are definitely things over the three years that left a lot to be desired and at times the turn over did seem high. It was hard when you felt like you developed a good rapport with your child's teacher/director and then they leave, and then you have to start all over with someone new. But what I will say is my daughter had two amazing teachers during her time at TLE. The first, Ms. Jailyn, really took the time with her kids from what I could see and my daughter loved her and I could tell her teacher loved her back. I felt at ease when she was there and even if she had to give me a bad report on my daughter's behavior I felt she wanted to try and find a way we both can help her and not that it was just my problem as her mom. When Ms. Jailyn left I was not happy and worried who my daughter's next teacher would be (I did have some not so great experiences with other teachers.) There were at least two other teachers she was switched around too but thankfully she ended up with Ms. Rose. I can literally not say enough amazing things about Ms. Rose! My husband and I truly believe she made a difference in my daughter's life! She is so patient and kind and really a remarkable woman. My daughter would have meltdowns in class and Sometimes it would be rough but Ms. Rose never gave up on her and always would try to come up with new ways to help my daughter feel comfortable and redirect her tantrums. I am sure it was hard for Ms. rose but she kept pressing on and made us feel that our daughter was in great hands. My child needed a "warm and fuzzy" individual and Ms. Rose is exactly that person. I know not all teachers are like that and there are great ones who aren't but Ms. Rose was exactly what my daughter needed! I hope TLE does all they can to keep Ms. Rose because she is truly an asset to have!

Tutor Time of Massapequa

To Melissa M: You have no idea what you are talking about. You were not there while my children…read morewere attending Tutor Time and what a terrible experience was for them. Did you even see what occurred when they were there? Were you in the room when the experiences I related happened? Were you privy to the phone calls and messages I received from Tutor Time? No. So you have no right to say I'm making stuff up and call me a liar. Alison and Danielle may be nice to you but they were not to my youngest son. They were very rude and nasty to him and couldn't wait to throw him out. They treated him like absolute dirt. One other thing that I didn't put in my first review is that I called my school district about what to do about my son and his situation at Tutor Time. When one of the directors who has a PhD in education found out that my son was attending Tutor Time of Massapequa, she said "I've had this conversation with them before. Their methods are terrible. The teachers have no training whatsoever. Their only response to when a child doesn't behave is to isolate the child and eventually try to get rid of the child which causes much more harm than good." So it's not just me. Tutor Time has a bad reputation with my school district and they have a low opinion of Tutor Time's methods. Don't tell people to ignore my review because it is a 100% accurate reflection of my children's experiences there and people should know that it isn't the happy, sunny place you insist it is.

Signing our daughter up for tutor time is the best thing we have done for her, and us! We are able…read moreto dedicate our time to our jobs knowing she is in good hands and is safe and having a great time. We love all the staff at Tutor Time and the teachers our amazing. Our daughter has learned so much and it is overwhelmingly noticable how much of a positive impact tutor time has had on her. She is smart and super social. We have met so many amazing parents as well and she has so many friends! The leadership at tutor time is filled with excellent people, they host fun events, have excellent communication with parents and build great relationships with everyone. I recommend Tutor Time to everyone i know. Edited after reading below reviews. In response to the negative review below - This is unbelievably inaccurate and is not at all a representation of Tutor Time. This has not been my experience in the 2+ years my daughter has been there and we have had nothing but positive experiences always. My daughter has a huge personality, super sassy and energetic. She is loved by everyone, the second she walks in the door she is getting hugs from everyone, past teachers come to see her in her class room and we even get to see some of the staff outside of TT bc they love her so much. Big personalities and lots of energy grow and prosper there and to say they are unwanted is very much untrue. Cleanliness is important to them, especially with covid and they are constantly taking the necessary precautions to keep the kids safe. I watch the cameras and they have very specific cleaning routines. My daughter has come home sick only once, for high fever - and she got it from her cousin not from the school. When they called me I was 45 minutes away and it was no problem at all, they were super sweet and took care of her until I could get there. The academic program is great - my daughter comes home every day learning new things. She soaks it up like a sponge and I love how many things they do every single day. There is always reading, writing, math, science - it blew my mind when she started how much she was actually learning. I thought they would spend most of their time playing but they fit in so much! For example just today they did days of the week, months of the year, weather, a fire drill sequence, a science experiment, learned about the ecosystem and counting. To say there is little to no academic instruction is insane and bizarre to me. Lastly, Allison and Danielle are amazing. They are incredibly sweet and love on my kid so much - and we don't have to "suck up" to get that kind of attention. They answer all my emails right away and are always so kind and helpful. They plan the most fun things for the kids and are always trying to do the best for them. I often get to the school early bc my job is so far away and if our daughters teacher isn't on site yet Danielle lets her hangout in her office with her, which is her favorite thing to do in the mornings! Allison sends me cute pics of our girl during the day when she can. They are just the best duo and we are so lucky our kid is in their hands. If you are considering tutor time I would not take that review very seriously.

Where do I begin with Wind N Willow? I will start with when I was looking into programs for my two year old in 2019. I was a very hesitant mother of one who only relied on close family for child care. As a new mom I was extremely anxious about putting my baby into childcare, but I knew it was the right thing to do for my family. It was recommended by a colleague to look into Wind N Willow. When I went there I was blown away by the beautiful welcoming classrooms and kind staff. Fast forward a few months and my son began his Wind N Willow adventures. The staff at Wind N Willow not only cared for my child, but they educated him, helped him to create friendships, kept him safe during a pandemic, and taught him how to love school. He is about to graduate from pre k and I am confident he is more than prepared to enter kindergarten. I'm sad to see this time end for him but I look forward to my younger son starting there in the fall! I am a mother and an educator and I highly recommend considering Wind N Willow for your young children. They are truly the best. read more

My Daughter has attended Wind N Willow since she was 20 months old.. She is now five and has since graduated.. I cannot put into words how WNW cares for your children like their own. They are not only taught the standard Pre-K curriculum, they are also taught the importance of values such as kindness, sharing, cleanliness, caring for each other and the environment.. Our children truly receive the most enriched curriculum with upgraded technology and safety protocols were immediately put into place after Covid.. The teachers are just so loving, they give 110% to every child.. The activities like the month of march they travel around the world trying different foods and learning about different cultures engages the kids and they are excited to learn just how broad the world really is.. You can not find a better pre-k program than WNW.. My Daughter misses it so much we made over her outdoor playhouse to look just like WNW.. the only bad thing I have to say is I wish they extended their program to Kindergarten.. read more

My family is so grateful that we found Wind 'N Willow when my oldest was starting pre-school. My daughter has gone on to be a successful learner about to enter 2nd grade. I have two more young children enrolled in preschool and pre-k for this fall. Based on my opinion (& talking with other teachers that have taught students from Wind'N Willow) the curriculum is far beyond other school in the area and the staff is top notch! Ms. Rose is so nurturing and loving. All three of our children went through her 2 year old class. I am so excited for my 4 year old to go to pre-K next year, I know she will be more than prepared for Kindergarten. I also am so amazed with the projects and classroom activities planned by the Director Pat and the teachers. The new owner is doing amazing things with all aspects of the school, & we can't wait to see the new building when it is completed! read more

She also cashed my check. I spent over three months trying to reach her, I sent emails and left messages with Christine in the office to make sure my daughter was all set for September-October. I continued to call her as the school opened up and no response. I finally got a hold of her and she gave me hundred excuses I was extremely disappointed at her and the fact that she took my deposit without confirming my child's enrollment is a disgrace. This makes me question the crying and all the speeches she gave to the parents when attending meetings on how deeply she cares for the children.
