We have had such amazing teachers at Benim. My children went there for five years and the teachers always provided a happy and safe place for them. They went to school happily and learned so much. We will definitely be sending our baby there next!
Nicole GreenbergOct 1, 2024The teachers and faculty need to learn some manners and good behaviour toward the children they don’t know how to handle the kids as well
poojan PatelMay 5, 2024I see a significant change in the overall mood and enthusiasm of my son since attending Benim. He’s way happier and definitely having a lot more fun. I think we made the right choice, so I recommend Benim.
Sam NaOct 20, 2023I had dropped my son(who is 4) off at the haverstraw location. He came back crying with feces in his underwear. He is potty trained and has no problem with telling adults he has to use the bathroom. He was crying nonstop. He thought I would be mad at him. He said that the people wouldn’t listen to him having to use the bathroom because they didn’t smell anything. This is totally unacceptable and I hope no one ever brings their kids to this location or even the New City one. I do not trust this company. They do not know how to properly look after children.
nova ramirezApr 19, 2023Our son and daughter both attend. We've been at Benim for three years. Lana Benim has a fantastic program and a beautiful building. My kids LOVE the huge gym, the playground, and their teachers & friends.
Nicole GreenbergApr 13, 2021Dr. Benim created an amazing environment for kids. They learn and have a great time doing it. Absolutely incredible place for young kids, which parents can trust. Would recommend to everyone!
