  This is one of the best and safest daycares in the Bronx. My son attended here for about maybe roughly 3-4 years before attending preschool. Damasa was very accommodating and welcoming and showed so much love to my boy. They really take their time to teach the children new skills and she throws great parties for them! My son still asks for her and wants to go back and I would let him in a heartbeat ! I feel so blessed to have my son their because to know he is being taken care of with love and patience and to know he’s learned so much means everything to my husband and I!

  As a nervous parent, especially with this being our first child and his first time in daycare, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than what we’ve had at Wishes and Dreams Daycare. My son started daycare at 20 months up until 4 years old, right before he started Pre-K. From the very first day, Damasa and her staff (Nicole, Aracelis…etc) made both my child and I feel comfortable and reassured. Their warm and welcoming approach helped ease my worries, and I quickly realized our child was in great hands. Not only did they create a loving environment, the daycare has a strong educational focus. Our child not only learned the alphabet, numbers, color, and shapes but also started to recognize letters and count with confidence by the age of 2. The teachers make learning fun, incorporating educational activities throughout the day. They also send home small homework assignments and creative projects, which we’ve found to be an excellent way to stay engaged with our child’s learning. They have great communication. We get updates, photos, and even videos, to keep us informed of what’s happening in daycare. This has given me so much peace of mind as a first-time daycare parent. The daycare itself is clean, safe, and designed with the children’s needs in mind. I highly recommend Wishes and Dreams Daycare to any parent, especially if you’re nervous about sending your child to daycare for the first time. They’ve made this experience not only stress-free but incredibly positive for both our child and our family.

  Where do I start with Wishes and Dreams!? My son was born during COVID and as a first time mom, I experienced separation anxiety. From 11 months until his first day of Pre- K, he was nurtured, loved, cared for and protected by the ladies at Wishes and Dreams. Don’t even think twice in choosing this family daycare because it truly is a family!

  My son had been under the care of Wishes and Dreams since he was 1 years old. He had been with the daycare for about 2 years. We are truly grateful for the thoughtful and caring staff. The staff made sure the kids are well taken care off and conduct wonderful learning activities with them. They really know how to have fun! Overall, it was a very safe and positive environment for my son, we highly reccomend them.

  My son attended Wishes and Dreams Group Family daycare for one year and it was a very good year. I must say that the ladies who work there are truly AMAZING. My son was always eager to go in the morning and they always welcomed him warmly. At the end of the day, I would find my son clean and happy. They kept me updated with amazing photos of his activities. My son also learned good manners, such as saying "thank you," "you're welcome," and "bless you." Wishes and Dreams daycare offers a variety of great activities that help children learn such as fun activities to learn: colors, shapes, numbers, a little Spanish, and more. During the summer months, they also take the children outside to play in the sprinklers and on the slides, as well as to complete fun assignments like painting and watering flowers. The owner, Damasa, is wonderful and always communicates with me to give updates on my son's progress and answered any questions I had. Wishes and Dreams daycare also follows all safety protocols, which gave me peace of mind as a first-time parent. I highly recommend Wishes and Dreams daycare to anyone who is looking for the BEST CARE for their child. I was sad my son had to leave to attend 3K.

  It is always the hardest and most nerve wrecking task to find care for your child. We have been blessed with such loving care for our daughter from Wishes and Dreams Daycare. From the moment we drop her off, she is greeted with so much love, and when we pick her up, she's ready to go with a full tummy, a fresh diaper, and a run down of her day. On holidays, the staff goes above and beyond with their extravagant decor and fun activities. This past Christmas, my daughter had to miss the holiday party, but we received a Facetime call from Santa! They make every child feel so special. Damasa and her staff treat all the kids as if they are their own. We truly feel so blessed that we have found such an amazing day care that we completely trust. We highly recommend Wishes and Dreams.
