Little love bugs has made our transition to daycare seamless. My son, who is 3 and very temperamental, has walked in happily and willingly since day one. Not a single tear, not once. Vanessa has clear expectations and routines for the kids making their day productive and successful. Her hours and perfect for working parents and shes so flexible and understanding. I am so thankful and lucky to have found them!!!!!
Madalyn NearyMar 29, 2026Little Love Bugs is THE BEST childcare on Long Island in my opinion. I’ve moved around a lot and have seen my share of daycare centers and Little Love Bugs is by far the best! There’s absolutely zero comparison! The communication and love and compassion from this house is amazing! From Dez to Luna to Talia my girls look forward to seeing each of them as well as their structured day!!!! And they absolutely love the food!!! The love my girls get is felt by me when I’m away at work and I know than Vanessa will always get back to me with love and support and kindness and compassion I know my girls are getting on the daily if I can feel it. By far the best most compassionate family/ daycare around. The love I have for Vanessa and the daycare she runs is beyond what I feel I can express but I know my girls are always cared for in the hands of my girls at little love bugs🥰 My heartfelt thanks to all of you in your beautiful loving establishment and family loving home.
Kerry VaughanJan 17, 2025As a first-time mom, finding a daycare I trust enough to leave my little one was a huge challenge. I’m so grateful I found Vanessa and her amazing daycare, Little Love Bug. The transition was made incredibly easy, and Vanessa kept me updated and informed every step of the way, making me feel completely comfortable. Everyone at Little Love Bug treats the children as if they were their own. My son is thriving—he’s learning so much, speaking more, and overall growing in such a positive environment. It warms my heart knowing he’s being well cared for and learning at the same time. I couldn’t have asked for a better establishment with such caring and dedicated providers. ❤️
Emily MarteJan 16, 2025My Son attends Little Love Bugs full time. He love it so much. My son has learned a lot. He is obsessed with going there and seeing his friends and teachers. They have taught him colors, shapes, the alphabet, numbers and concentrate on his motor and sensory abilities. Mrs. Vanessa treats my son and all of the other kids like they are her own! We proudly recommend Little Love Bugs to anyone!
Sarah ScorciaJan 29, 2022Wonderful structured Day Care that offers learning , sharing, caring. My grandson attends daycare on a full time basis and loves to go there.

Jo Ann AdamoJan 28, 2022Vanessa is great. I am so happy I chose to send my son to little love bugs, he loves it there. They are very professional and great with the kids. My son is 2yrs old and he is talking and doing so much for his age thanks to this daycare. Vanessa treats the kids like they are her own. With this pandemic she really made me feel at ease she follows all protocols necessary to make sure the kids are safe. If you want the best care Little love bugs is the place. Trust me you will not be disappointed.
