  • Best care there is! From the owner to the staff everyone is loving to the children and so attentive with the parents. My daughter loves going to daycare, some days we had to drop her off before 8am because of work and the staff was so understanding and supportive of us.

  • Ever since this Academy opened up my son has been attending and he soo happy there. Every day he comes home singing a new song and talking about how great his teachers are, this daycare has been such a blessing not to me but my son also this daycare has taught my son to be social, share, his colors and the list can go on. The teachers there are friendly and highly professional they cater to your child’s needs whatever that may be, my son has a disability and wasn’t social but because of his school and this daycare they have taught my son that he is save and loved. I couldn’t be more happier with this academy this is right were your kids should be being happy, save, educated.

  • As a parent, I entrust my greatest blessing to the staff at Winterfell Academy every day, and I am grateful for the loving care and guidance she receives. The teachers and director look at each child as an individual, with their own strengths and needs. My daughter has been blessed with awesome teachers who handle her with grace. My daughter has learned so much and I continue to see her progress daily. Thank you to Winterfell Academy for an incredible early childhood curriculum that engages and teaches at all steps of the day, and a special thanks to Michelle and her staff; they continue to do amazing works of "heart" with all children. In addition to everything she is learning my daughter is also learning to try new foods that she wouldn't once go near! She is given homework, and a reading log which reinforces reading at home. My daughter never comes home dirty (outside of the occasional spilled milk on her tie) as mentioned above, and Michelle keeps me posted with her progress whether it be by photo or video.

  • My daughter attends this school and loves the environment as well as her classmates. The first person to leave the review above is not a parent at the school. All of the parents know one another and Raymond C is not one of them. Sahara L was someone that interned at the school and was not a perfect fit. She did not attend to the children as an assistant and that is why her internship ended in a matter of 2 weeks. Maybe it’s her being both herself and Raymond but thats how you know she’s immature and being in the education field is not in her best interest. Anyone that gives this school a 1 star rating just know that it’s Sahara L and she’s just a bitter person that needs to move on in life. This is a brand new school, that is well kept and affordable. When you enter in the school the brightness, wall art, chic and style is beautiful. The environment makes you feel as if you are in an upscale place. All children wear uniforms so they feel as one big family. The children are on a schedule of learning and fun activities. The children are able to bring their sleeping bags which are placed on floor mats. Children are allowed to bring with them their favorite toy or stuffed animal so they can feel comfortable. The school is under the food & nutritional program so the meals are within guidelines. The teacher allows some of the parents to volunteer with her as an assistant at times which allows the parent to be and feel included. The teacher makes sure that each child is loved. She provides food coats for the children when they are eating. Accidents may happen but it’s nothing that the washing machine can’t take care of. Go for a tour at Winterfell Academy yourself and you’ll be glad that you did.

Does this page show inspection results for Winterfell Academy?

No. New York's public child care roster carries no violation or inspection fields, and no separate statewide dataset of them was found, so nothing here reflects Winterfell Academy's inspection history either way.
