used to go here from the age of 1-13 or so. Have tons of great memories here! also miss kim was the kindest soul ever! always helped kids during meltdowns and such, the staff is also friendly! :]
Timothy McDonaldJan 23, 2026Staff is unprofessional. They don’t seem to do their due diligence before leaving rude comments on notes that are being sent home. Highly recommend taking your child to a better day care that isn’t as rude and unprofessional. Be sure to always check the reviews etc before enrolling your child into a daycare to avoid neglect and abuse and other common issues or go through a private party that’s enrolled through the state. You can find ways to check into these places on NYS childcare sites and review their professional scores and ratings along with certifications.
Emily SternishaAug 6, 2023Our family recently moved to the area and we were in a position when we had to find an emergency daycare for our special needs autistic 7 year old. So far, our son has been loving it . They serve meals and snacks and it is included in the price . The rooms tend to be a bit noisy if your child needs to do a school work and this has been our only issue . Yet, the management and the teachers have been very accommodating and doing the best they can during these difficult times . If you need one on one constant care and school work tutor , that is not the right place . Yet, there is a constant supervision for the kids and they do the best they can
Bogdana TruettMar 9, 2021i cant say enough positive things about storytime! i would be here all day. To be able to work all day and know that my children are well cared for is a piece of mind. I have been bringing my children since 2012 and not one complaint! They take care of the kids as if they were there own children. They follow parents request as well as medical issues. The best part I love is that they keep me informed of everything!!! I will never bring my kids any where else!!!!!!!!
Jaime RichardsOct 2, 2018This daycare is phenomenal! The staff are always so loving and kind and treated my children like their own. They focus on fun and education while also having great management. There is alway a smiling face when you walk inti the building and they’re always more than happy to help out with any questions or concerns I have as well. They do a great job here and I could never imagine bringing my children anywhere but here !
Kid AnarchyOct 2, 2018Storytime day care is one of the best around. My children enjoy going to school and can’t wait to see their friends and hug their teachers. The staff is loving and nurturing making leaving for work easier knowing they are in good care. Love everyone there and thank them so much for helping my children learn and grow.
