Vivvi Tribeca | Child Care and Early Learning — Local services in New York

Vivvi has been a cornerstone in my son’s life since he started there as a six-month-old. Now, at 2.5, I can clearly see the impact of their thoughtful curriculum and nurturing environment. My son is curious, confident, and—if I’m being honest—further along in his abilities compared to some of his peers in traditional daycare settings or with nannies. I truly believe this is because of the “Vivvi difference.”

The teachers at Vivvi don’t just care for the children—they see them. Serena, the head of school, is exceptional: hands-on, approachable, and deeply committed to every family. The owners, Charlie and Ben, aren’t distant figures—they’re actively involved in the community, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere. I’ve even met an incredible group of parents, and now our kids have regular playdates after school and on weekends.

Recently, my son and I experienced a deeply traumatic event. In that moment, Vivvi became so much more than a school. The owners, leadership, teachers, and entire community were a lifeline. Their compassion, love, and unwavering support carried us through one of the hardest times of our lives, and for that, I will always be grateful.

Choosing where to send your child can feel overwhelming. I know I made the right choice with Vivvi. It’s not just a school—it’s a family. I feel incredibly lucky to have found them, and I can’t imagine a better place for my child to grow,...

Our son has been going to Vivvi for over 6 months and we are so happy with our choice to send our son here. We went the nanny route after my mat Leave until he was 1 year old. I was very reluctant to switch up his routine and was nervous to have him not near me, but the team at Vivvi made the transition as painless as possible. Now I'm wondering if I should have brought him to Vivvi sooner! Everyday we receive pictures, updates and feel totally informed. The teachers are beyond caring and sweet. The entire staff knows my son's name and he feels comfortable with everyone that works there. He's learned sign language, how to use utensils and express himself while at "school". I love mix of academic and play learning activities. The teachers always inform you of what your child is most interested in, so it's nice to use that information during the weekends. My only complaint is I wish they had one Saturday a month open for play in the large, open and bright...

Vivvi is more than just a childcare provider, they are like family. Putting our daughter in their care when she was 12 weeks old was nerve-racking. However, I always felt supported by the teachers, staff and administration. Their frequent check-ins through the Bright Wheel app with pictures, videos and updates made me feel like I was present throughout the day. Our daughter is now almost two and we have seen her flourish while at Vivvii. Their curriculum, which changes every month, has expanded her horizons and made her a more empathetic child. I have appreciated the individual attention they pay to each child and their specific learning needs and styles. As a pregnant mom, I’m thrilled that we will be expanding our family will be joining Vivvi in...
