My daughter's first and only daycare. She started when she was almost 2. She just aged out. Mella is great with the kids and is very caring. I highly recommend.
Shenelle FrancisNov 5, 2025Little Chatterbox Daycare has been such a blessing for my family. This was my son’s very first daycare since he turned 2, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From day one, they went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe, loved, and cared for. More than just a caretaker, she quickly became like family to us. The environment is warm, nurturing, and truly focused on each child’s growth and happiness. I’ve seen my son thrive here, and I’m so grateful for the patience, kindness, and dedication poured into every day. I highly recommend Little Chatterbox to any parent looking for not just a daycare, but a place where their child will be loved and treated like their own.
Amy MercadoSep 30, 2025My son started going to little chatter box shortly after his first birthday and Ms Ormela and her staff both do a phenomenal job at caring for him. She’s very organised and informative. Being a first time mom and leaving your child in the care of others can be a very uneasy feeling but from the moment I walked into her daycare, I knew that was the place for my son when I needed the help. She goes through every detail of what to expect. He eas was not walking and barely talking when he started with her. Shortly after, he was able to say words clearer and is now running. The exposure with other kids and the help of proper teaching helped him tremendously. Most importantly, he loves her and grandma (her very helpful staff) . She’s been a blessing to my little family and I am leaving this review to say, your child is in great hands. I was lucky to find this daycare during an evening stroll in my neighbourhood and she has really been a blessing since then.
Anisa RamsamySep 11, 2025Ms Mella is a excellent daycare provider. My daughter has been coming to her for Three years, she has learn so much and is ready for kindergarten. The best daycare in schenectady. We love Ms Mella so much and thank God we found her.
Raymonde EsperanceMar 27, 2025My son has been with Ormella for a little over a year now and he absolutely love it 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a daycare. She’s very understanding and very helpful. Non judgmental caring sweet lady. My son loves grandma and Ms Mella
Sahara HamiltonOct 7, 2024We love Ormella. She has been taking care of our children for 8 years. When my 4 year old didn't get into UPK, I wasn't worried because Ormella had her writing her name and counting to 20 since she was 3. She now knows all of her letters and sounds and will be ready for Kindergarten next year thanks to Ormella's care. She loves my babies, just as she loves her own. She feeds the kids home cooked lunches, which she starts cooking un the morning, so drop off always smells delicious. She has been such a blessing to have as part of our lives.
