Recent parent reviews

  • I love this place and so does my child. As a single parent I deeply appreciate Mrs Claudia. She really cares about the children and works with the parents. I’m grateful for their hours as well. She has learned so much over the years, my baby is happy and smart and that makes me a happy parent.

  • Professional staff. Clean environment. Very hands on with all the kids. My daughter learned sign language thanks to Mr Claudia.

  • My children started attending Moving Forward Childcare at ages 3 & 5 years old. They are now 9 & 11 and Claudia continues to go above and beyond for them in ways I could never repay her. As a single working mother, having a village to support me is crucial in the upbringing of my kids. Claudia has made sure to show my children love, right from wrong, the importance of education & life experiences & the list goes on. She’s been for picks ups and drop offs to school when I couldn’t, she’s encouraged them to be their best selves & has sat through 5th grade math homework on the nights that I dreaded having to do it myself. Claudia, and Moving Forward Daycare, have been a pillar in my kids’ lives and I’m so thankful to have them both in my village. Landowska Deslouches

  • Best daycare in Suffolk county! The staff is very attentive, the environment is clean, safe and the kids always have a ball! Would definitely recommend 👌🏾

  • The individuals at this establishment were so helpful and kind with our children. Our children are growing much older now but they started their little journeys here and the values that were taught here are still with them till this day. Always will be grateful for Moving Forward Daycare for being there for our little ones while we were working and couldn't be. Thank you all!

    Ann Marie BrockJan 22, 2023
  • My experience with this establishment is just that, more than an establishment. The Daycare provider program is designed to service the needs of infants to young adolescents. Through personal experiences, I found this program to best suit a wide range of students with a wide range of different needs! I strongly recommend this provider for you and your family.
