Bilingual Nest — Local services in New York

Bilingual Nest really fulfills everything we hoped it would when searching for a "home away from home" for our daughter. The teachers are attentive, warm and plan lessons that are both engaging and important in terms of building schema and prepping for pre-k and eventually kindergarten. The school community is friendly, inviting and the bilingual component is invaluable. The balance between using Morningside Park as a resource (as it is so close by) and doing meaningful learning activities inside is exactly what we were looking for. The children are learning through play and structured lessons and every day our daughter is dropped off happy and comes home happy. They do an excellent job bringing in a dance and music teacher to enrich the kids' experience; the videos from dance day are priceless. Overall, our daughter who is very sensitive and sometimes struggles with change has adapted incredibly well (all credit to the staff at Bilingual Nest). Lastly, the communication through the school's app, Brightwheel, is fantastic. We receive both class and individual pictures and updates. We know how much she ate of her lunch, how she is doing with potty training and how long she naps. At Bilingual Nest it is truly a team effort and I would recommend it to any family searching for a safe, wonderful environment for their ...

“Our son has been attending the pre-K Spanish program at Bilingual Nest for over a year, and we have been impressed with his teachers along with his teacher’s assistants. They are caring, creative, hardworking, passionate and engaging. They put a lot of thought into their lesson planning and ensure that they stay close to each child’s individual needs and growth and development, which comes through clearly during our daily chats as well as our parent-teacher conferences. They have been very helpful in growing our son’s academic, social-emotional and listening skills as well as contributing to his potty-training journey. We are also grateful for the compassionate and effective leadership and management of Bilingual Nest. Along with the teachers, we are very thankful for Vanessa and Linda, who have made our son’s transition to and experience at Bilingual Nest a safe, warm and enriching one. Furthermore, we have deeply appreciated and benefitted from the connections to a diverse group of parents and families at Bilingual Nest. Not only do families take the time to learn the children’s names and greet each other, but they are also willing to exchange helpful information and tips. It’s a strong community and culture that deeply resonates with us and we are fortunate to...

I cannot say enough positive things about Bilingual Nest. From the moment we walked in for a tour, I knew that this was the perfect place for our son. Our son's teachers: Juley & Christina, and the staff are exceptional - warm, friendly, and incredibly professional. They truly care about each child's well-being and go above and beyond to ensure that every child feels happy, safe, and loved.

The facility itself is always clean, well-maintained, and filled with age-appropriate toys and activities that foster learning and growth, such soccer classes, nature walks, Halloween Parade, Christmas Event, among others. Their bilingual program is amazing and proper to their early dual language development.

I also appreciate the communication and transparency provided by the staff. The app they use to keep us informed of our son's progress and activities, and are always available to answer any questions or concerns we may have.

With mixed feelings we had to moved to a different neighborhood, but during our son's time at Bilingual Nest, I had complete peace of mind when I drop him off, knowing that he was in great hands. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for...
