Little Bees Family Day Care LLC — Local services in New York

Our daughter's last day at Little Bees is tomorrow and, while we are so sad that this incredible experience is coming to an end, we are confident that Agnes and her team have nurtured, loved, taught, cherished, and prepared her for her next step. At Little Bees, the children become a tight-knit family. They have structured routine, creative play, and lessons that coincide with the seasons and holidays. Agnes's units introduce the children to everything from farm animals, to the ocean, to camping outdoors, to running a coffee shop. You'll get detailed reports daily letting you know the books they read, the songs they sang, the sign language they learned, the games they played - all on theme with the week's unit/lesson. Every art project, cooking adventure, and independent and group play session is an adventure for the Little Bees and there will be no shortage of pictures and updates sent throughout the day and artwork sent home to let parents know just what their children were up to. Agnes adores each child in her care as if they were her own and is always available to discuss any issues, concerns, questions, or thoughts families may have. She is supportive with sleep struggles and throughout the potty training process. She is genuinely invested in each child, committed to their growth and happiness, and lives to see them thrive. Every birthday is honored in a way that makes each child feel loved and special and each holiday - whether it be Halloween, Veteran's Day, Christmas, or Chinese New Year - is celebrated so the children are informed about and engaged in the spirit of the day. And there isn't enough space here to adequately rave about Little Bees' outdoor space! Agnes designed a backyard that stimulates creative play and adventure -making that you simply have to see to believe. And every Friday morning the children gather for their weekly yoga and meditation practice. We are so grateful for the Little Bees team and for the entire Little Bees family for a wonderful 3+ years and highly and wholeheartedly recommend Little Bees...

Words cannot express how lucky we were to have found Agnes and Little Bees. We have been fortunate to have our 2 children attend over the last 6 years and cannot recommend it highly enough! They have helped set our children up for success as they move on to big kid school. The care, attention, and love provided by Agnes and crew are magically woven into everything they do making it a wonderful environment to be in. Our children have thrived academically and socially. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to stimulate their young minds. The daycare is immaculately clean, safe, and welcoming. Everyday our children were greeted with a warm welcome and big smiles...always happy to see them! And they left everyday excited to go back the next day. They fostered such a lasting and wonderful bond with each and every child making them feel cherished. Agnes and crew have provided such enriching experiences and the most exquisite birthday parties and holidays too! Communication with parents is always open and transparent. We received daily updates and photos as well as daily notes sent home to tell us what our children learned that day and what was coming up so that we always felt involved in our children's progress and activities. Overall, if you are looking for a daycare where you can trust the teachers wholeheartedly, look no further. Agnes and crew are topnotch and we cannot recommend her enough. It truly is a...

The program at this daycare is truly engaging and thoughtfully designed. Children are not only given the freedom to play but are also introduced to daily structured activities that stimulate their curiosity and creativity. My son has come home talking about new songs, crafts, and even small science projects — it’s clear he is constantly learning while having fun.

I especially appreciate that the teachers make an effort to keep parents informed. They share regular updates, photos, and even little stories about what the children did during the day. This personal touch gives me peace of mind and helps me feel connected to my child’s daily experiences, even when I can’t be there myself.

The level of cleanliness and organization is excellent. Classrooms are bright, safe, and well-equipped with toys and educational materials.

Most importantly, the atmosphere created by Agnes and her team is full of warmth, patience, and genuine care. Every staff member treats the children with kindness and respect, which shows in how happy and confident the kids feel in this environment. My son looks forward to going every morning — and that, to me, is the best proof of the quality of care he receives.

I am deeply grateful for everything Agnes and her team do each day. 🌟 I highly recommend this daycare to any parent searching for a place where children are not only safe and well cared for, but also loved, encouraged, and...
