I am a special education teacher and visit many different schools and daycares all around Brooklyn. I've experienced many different settings in numerous areas. Butterfly is definitely one that sticks out to me. I would recommend this school to parents who are looking for a great early education for their children. The staff is absolutely wonderful and very attentive to students of different needs. The teachers, in particular, are very dedicated and knowledgeable. They genuinely love and care about each and every one of their students and constantly encourage them to do their best. The preschool teachers, especially, really prepare their students for kindergarten. Children have great one to one attention throughout the day, along with small and large group activities.

Overall, great school! Parents, if you choose butterfly, you will not be...

I wouldn't bother with a day care that can't even keep its story straight about what ages of kids they accept. COMPLETE...
Read moreI absolutely love Butterfly Daycare. The daycare has a very welcoming, and friendly atmosphere. The daycare has a very structured schedule, that includes plenty of time for physical activities such as weekly dance, music, and gym time. There are also daily reading sessions,group activities,and free time. The curriculum is very stimulating, and age appropriate. A qualified and caring staff is always there for your child.
