Hard to believe those negatives reviews, Antonella has being awarded Best 2025 Daycare in Copiague for a reason. All the Holidays and Ferderal days are detailed explicitly in the agreement when you sign in your kid. She is very kind, plenty of love to everyone, also she used to take care my kids sometimes during weekends. I trust Antonella 100%. She is the best! Thanks again! Stephy
Stephanie PizzarroDec 2, 2025My daughter has been going to First Stop Daycare for over a year. Antonella is not only the BEST in the childcare business but she treats each and every child she cares for like her very own. I'm so grateful that my wife and I found her. My daughter loves coming to the daycare and she has learned so much while being here. If you're looking for a great daycare, let First Stop be your last stop!!
james smithDec 2, 2025They need to be called Lazy first Daycare!! They closed the daycare whenever they feel like it, not just on federal holidays. Some days my daughter comes home and her pamper wasn’t changed all day!! I asked if she ran out of pampers, and Antonella said no. So basically they were either too lazy or trifling to change her !!Also my daughter comes home cursing, I know it’s from this daycare cause she says it in Spanish!! 1 out of 10 would not recommend!!
Sheena TvNov 28, 2025First stop Daycare has been an absolute blessing for our family! From the moment we walked in, we knew we had found the perfect place for our daughter. Antonella and Yulie are truly the best teachers we could have asked for at this important stage in her life. They treat every child like family, creating a warm, nurturing, and safe environment where kids can thrive. We had searched for the right daycare for a long time, and I’m beyond grateful to have found First stop Daycare. My daughter loves coming here every day—she is always excited to learn and play. The educational programs are fantastic, helping her develop important skills and advance in ways that amaze me. Above all, I have complete trust in Antonella and Yulie. Knowing that my daughter’s education, safety, and happiness are in their hands gives me so much peace of mind. I can’t thank them enough for the love and dedication they put into their work. First stop Daycare is truly excellent, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring and trustworthy daycare!
Kamila McgrortyMar 19, 2025I was blessed literally to find this daycare near my home. Antonella, is incredibly kind, amazing, sweet and loving with the kids in her care. I would recommend her daycare to anyone and everyone who not only wants to find a credible and safe daycare but also if you're looking for your babies to grow, love to learn and make amazing friends. She also offers morning and aftercare. I love First stop daycare, my baby loves Antonella and her friends..
Tamar SmithMar 18, 2025Antonella started watching my daughter at 3 months old. I’m grateful to have found her place as she sends me photo updates of my daughter’s day, goes over her schedule of naps/eating/diapers at pickup. She’s diligent, attentive and loving and the smile and excitement my baby shows when she sees Antonella’s face makes me so happy.
