Little Daydreamers Early Learning Center — Local services in New York

We started with Little Daydreamers when our daughter was 12 weeks old, and we will be very sad to leave Mirna, Lilly, Rebecca, Deb and Patience when she transitions into a 3K program. Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The team has over a decade of experience and has consistently shown a nurturing and attentive approach towards our daughter. Their expertise is evident not only in their interactions but also in the educational activities they offer, for example teaching numbers, colors, and shapes often on a 1-on-1 basis. This personalized attention is made possible thanks to their high staff-to-child ratio.

The center's communication with us as parents is great. Real-time updates on our daughter's meals, naps, and diaper changes are provided through the Brightwheel app. Conveniently, the team provides home made meals and fresh fruit every day for children over one year old.

The children are taken outside every day when the weather permits. The facility itself is stimulating and welcoming, with recently refurbished play areas. Our daughter is presented with enriching activities like weekly music and sign language classes from external teachers and often surprises us with new signs that she has learned. Discovering these new skills and then searching for their meanings has become a delightful part of our routine. Watching the team engaging in regular reading and arts and crafts activities through the camera is a continual source of joy.

We've already recommended Little Daydreamers to other parents, a testament to the trust we have in their...

We had a great experience at Little Daydreamers, where my son was cared for. Most of the staff has been there many years, they have a lot of experience and most importantly, kindness. There is 1 caretaker for 2-3 children, which is very rare. They comfort kids when they're crying right away, I always felt reassured that my son didn't feel ignored or neglected there. Whenever we had questions or concerns, the staff would get back to us almost right away, they do a truly great job with communication. The kids spend a good deal of time outside as well, which was important to us. After my son aged out and moved on to a new school, I grew to appreciate even more things about Little Daydreamers that I took for granted, like having cameras to see what the kids were up to throughout the day, or the fact that they don't allow outside shoes in the areas where the kids are playing and crawling. We still run into some of the caretakers from Little Daydreamers in our neighborhood and they always stop to say Hi to my son, ask how he is doing at the new school. They are genuine, kind people and they really care...

We are extraordinarily grateful to Little Daydreamers, Deborah, Patience, Mirna and all of the amazing staff for the wonderful work they've done with our son over the past year plus and we will miss them all immensely as he moves on to a 2s program (with a best bud he made at Little Daydreamers 😊).

With small class sizes and true 1:2 adult to child ratios, they are able to take such good care of every child and we are so grateful to them for helping our child become the sweet, funny, chatty, charming, outgoing, kind and thoughtful little toddler / little boy he is becoming. Their structure (meals, snacks, walks, naps, playtime), programs (art work, language, sign language, music, incoming specialty teachers) and superior level of care and concern are unmatched.

Our son has learned so much from Mirna, Yurkenia, Rebecca, Lily and the outside teachers that come in on a regular basis. He often surprises us with a song, sign or knowledge of a color or animal. 😊

We highly recommend Little Daydreamers to any parents. Your child will be safe, loved and will learn...
