This daycare is so intentional with everything! I met Denisia through Nextdoor after I recently left my abusive situation when I was a newly single mom looking for a daycare so that I could work and pick my life up and I could not have chosen a better place truly. My son is in the best hands! Stephanie is amazing and takes my son late nights! My son is autistic and has excelled in every way possible at brilliant beginnings truly they are the biggest blessing!attached are the Christmas photos they did for the kids!
Sabrina BordersMar 16, 2026We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Brilliant Beginnings. From the moment we enrolled, it was clear that the staff truly care about the children and their families. One of the things we appreciate most is how accommodating they are with parents’ schedules. The availability of early drop-off and late pick-up has been incredibly helpful for our family and provides real peace of mind during busy workdays. Another standout is the daily fresh, organic, and healthy meals they prepare for the children. It’s comforting to know our child is eating nutritious food every day without us having to worry about packing meals which saves us so much time. The activities are thoughtfully planned and engaging, giving children memorable experiences while helping them develop important motor, cognitive, and social skills. You can tell that the Montessori philosophy is truly integrated into how the children learn and explore. What makes Brilliant Beginnings even more special is how family-focused they are. They host fun monthly activities for parents which helps build a sense of community. The communication is also consistent. The staff frequently send texts, pictures, and videos, so we feel connected to our child’s day and can see the learning and fun happening in real time. Lastly, the staff are incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming. They have created an environment where our child feels safe and enjoys coming every day. If you’re looking for a nurturing, engaging, and well run Montessori daycare, we highly recommend this one. It has been a wonderful experience for our family!
Ada UMar 13, 2026I’ve had the pleasure of having my son attend this facility since January. Denisia’s vision is palpable as soon as you enter the space. It is Montessori based in every aspect of design, but also of humanism. The children are treated with respect and taught to have critical thinking and independence skills within reason. The staff is very welcoming and nurturing as well. With weekly interactive workshops, daily fresh food and monthly menus provided, diverse play stations, outdoor space, and cultural representation - I am sincerely grateful there is someone who stepped up in our downtown Yonkers community to bring something like this, which are the likes of going all the way to Riverdale or other river-towns, where additionally you lose the cultural representation. I was extremely pleased with the accommodation of our early morning schedule as well as bus service. Finding flexibility mixed with trust is no easy task, but this team has proved over and over that they care. My Son came home with the knowledge of tying his shoes, which is something we had been working on but with the reality of different household dynamics, I have to be very strategic about prioritizing daily living skills. With Brilliant Beginnings, small things like those have increased our quality of life. Our mornings are smoother for the simple fact that the skill is being encouraged day after day outside of our nuclear home. I highly recommend this facility if you value peace of mind and education.
Nathalie ReynosoMar 12, 2026My daughter attends this daycare and I truly can’t say enough good things about it. From the moment we joined, it has felt like a hidden gem.❤️The teachers are incredibly loving and treat the children and parents like family — it really feels like having a village helping raise your child. One of my favorite things is that the kids get home-cooked meals and unlimited snacks, which gives me peace of mind knowing my child is being well taken care of. They also focus on age-appropriate learning and development, which I really appreciate because it shows they genuinely care about helping the children grow. They do weekly events that involve parents, which makes it so special to feel included in the daycare community. My daughter also comes home with arts and crafts, and I love seeing the things she creates. Another thing I really love is the app they use, where I can see updates and what my child is doing throughout the day. It makes me feel connected even when I’m not there. Everything is very child-proof and safe, which is so important as a parent. Overall, this daycare is truly amazing and such a blessing for our family. If you’re looking for a caring, safe, and nurturing environment for your child, I highly recommend it.
Rubi GutierrezMar 11, 2026The best luxury daycare! The owner is incredibly caring and loving with the kids, and you can truly feel how much she cares about every child. The environment is beautiful, luxury , clean, and so nurturing. Any parent would feel comfortable knowing their child is in such great hands. Highly recommend 10/10 !
Shavonne SantosMar 11, 2026From the moment we walked in, we connected instantly, and my husband and I don't regret putting our baby in Denisia and Stephany's care. They are the best, and my baby loves being there. 💋💋💋❤️❤️
