  • My son has been with Miss Trish since he was 1, he’s now 3.5. He started going 3 days a week and most recently he’s been going all 5 days. It’s actually been easier for him (and us) having the same routine every morning/day. Trish was super accommodating when we brought him 3 days a week and needed an extra day here and there. He loves getting to the door and ringing the bell even if Trish is already there to greet him. He truly likes the friends he has made there and talks about them all the time. They love the backyard and outside play time, crafts, music and nap time! Trish and her team have created a fun, loving atmosphere where the kids feel safe and my husband and I feel comfortable knowing my son is being taken care of and loved like her own. They helped support him after he was potty trained and helped him gain confidence outside the house which was amazing! On birthdays, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and all holidays the kids do so many crafts and even come home with beautiful artwork, decorated boxes to store their valentines from each other, bags of birthday goodies, and always a special something for the parents from the kids. We’ll be so sad to leave Trish when our son goes to UPK, but are so glad she’s part of our village!

  • My two year old son has been with Miss Trish since he was seven months old. We are so pleased with Miss Trish and her entire staff. Everyone is nurturing, kind and loving. He looks forward to daycare and talks about the friends he has made there all the time. He comes home happy and enjoys going there each morning. Having a daycare like this in Wantagh is so helpful for working parents. Highly recommend!!

  • My 3 year old has been attending this daycare for 6 months and we are so pleased. Miss Trish is kind,caring and attentive. She was also very patient as our toddler adjusted to her new surroundings. I feel at ease knowing she is well cared for while I'm at work. Highly recommend!

  • Trish has been an answer to my prayers. We had terrible experiences with 2 other daycares prior to Once Upon a Family. My 2 y/o son Javier has been enrolled for 3 months now and his progress has been incredible. Trish is very nurturing, patient and calm. He comes home from daycare happy and singing every day. He always surprises me with new words and songs that he has learned with her. It is wonderful to be able to go to work with your mind at ease knowing your child is in the best hands.
