Amuse U Daycare has been an excellent fit for my family. Peter and Sarah are very thoughtful caregivers to the children and are clearly passionate about the work that they do here. The child to caregiver ratio here makes me feel comfortable that my daughter is able to socialize and learn new skills without feeling too overwhelmed. She simply adores Peter - she never wants to leave at the end of the day! I would recommend this daycare to anyone who is seeking trustworthy and friendly caregivers for their children during the week.
Corinne ThompsonAug 19, 2025When we found Amuse U Daycare I was in desperate need of someone who got into the business of chilscare for all the right reasons. What a blessing this was! Both of my children are excited in the morning to come and tired from all their play when I pick them up! Not once has either child said they didn’t have a great day ! If you are looking for someone where your child will learn, play, be safe, and happy this is the one!!!
Ashley WJun 22, 2025We are so lucky that our son's first daycare experience has been at Amuse U Daycare. Peter and Sarah are both so attentive, caring, and communicative. They treat our son like he's one of their own. Everyday our son is thrilled to be there and doesn't want to leave. It is so reassuring to know he is always well taken care of during the day. I highly recommend this daycare!!
Lisa HardwickJun 17, 2025Our children attended daycare with Peter and Sarah during the pandemic. Peter was very creative about activities and crafts, and our kids love them both. They were flexible, supportive, and very attentive.
Lauren deLaubellAug 6, 2024Amuse U in Ithaca is an excellent family daycare. Peter and Sarah are exceptional, loving, and caring family, they create a very safe and respectful environment, they are very helpful, accommodating and easy to communicate with. I brought my infant all day and my kinder gardener for after school there for more than six months. We arrived to Ithaca in the middle of the winter, when it is very difficult to find opening for little kids, we were so lucky to find Amuse U. My kids loved, they adapted very quickly and they were always so happy that they didn't want to leave the daycare at the end of the day. We are only leaving because the commute was long for us, and my older kid got into the school program in his primary school and the little one got a spot a block from our house. It was a very though decision, since we love Amuse U. I totally recommend it.
