Celina's is all about hearty home cooked meals, plenty of outdoor activities year-round, Spanish immersion, great hours and more importantly loving and experienced care. Highly recommended.
Ruth SalasJun 2, 2022Fantastic childcare. My little one really enjoys going to Celina's! She loves her friends, caregivers and of course the food! Celina's has become apart of our family and we can not sing enough praise for these women. Simply put they are wonderful.
Beryl FineMay 26, 2022Celina’s Day Care is amazing. Our kid absolutely loves going to daycare, and she is watched over so well and so carefully. Very glad we found Celina’s
Amos BarshadMay 24, 2022We could not be happier with Celina’s. Our first was there from 5 months until he started pre-k. And our youngest is still there. Celina and the amazing caregivers helped us through every transition from bottles to potty training. With no pressure and lots of support. The food is absolutely delicious and they are supportive of our vary particular meal requests. Frankly, both our kids love their food more than ours! Also, our youngest has many allergies and they are extremely careful. The love and care they provide is like nothing we thought we could ever find. We feel so comfortable knowing that our youngest is in such good hands all day. They have also been especially communicative and open during COVID. We have been super lucky with few instances of COVID or any other fun stuff that kids get.
LisaMay 24, 2022Our daughter has been at Celina's since she was 6 months old, and we could not have asked for a more incredible group of caregivers than the women who run this daycare. They are attentive, loving, kind, careful and communicative, logging her naps, eating habits (and bathroom habits!) and informing us when we pick her up at the end of each day. They also cook fresh, home-cooked meals that are healthy and delicious. Our daughter adores everyone that works here and screams with joy she's so happy to be dropped off each morning. We feel so fortunate to have found a daycare like Celina's and cannot say enough good things about those that run this place and take care of these children.
Allison McCannMay 23, 2022Our son went to Celina's Day Care since 6 months old! Now he is 3 years old and graduating from the Day Care soon, bittersweet. Care takers are very loving and keep the place very tidy. When our son leaves the daycare, he gets upset if he does not give them kisses and hugs before he leaves. We looked at other daycares in the neighborhood before we started but we liked Celina for the hours (8am-6pm), spacious layout and they spend a lot of time outside and cook nice home made meals. Celina is mainly Spanish speaking environment and amazingly, our son became a Spanish speaker. He also speaks some Japanese at home but his Spanish is so much better, haha. He was with the daycare throughout the Pandemic (besides when they closed) and their reliable care helped our life so much and we cannot recommend them enough. Also I like that they are not "intense" Brooklyn daycare, pretty relaxed and casual. If you are type of the parent who needs child's photo every hour, this wouldn't be your place. We made so many great friends during the Celina time and we will definitely miss everyone there when he starts pre-K in September.
