My son has been enrolled in Kindercare for three years now and he LOVES school. Every Saturday and Sunday he asks if he can go to school that’s how much he loves it! Last year he had Ms. Shirley and Miss Nashaly who he adored. Their nurturing approach and Montessori class setting was the perfect setting for him. He learned so much in Ms. Shirley’s class- we are so thankful! This year my son has Mr. Sal, Mr. Jonathan and Mrs. Julie. He absolutely adores them and loves their Montessori class. He runs right to his classroom and can’t wait for his day to begin. My son is 3 years old and writes his name along with many other words and he knows all of his upper case and lower case letters as well as his numbers. This year he has grown socially, emotionally and academically and we have his teachers to thank for that. Our son is fully prepared for UPK now and we are so so grateful for his amazing teachers. And most importantly- he is safe, happy and loved!
We have had the privilege of having our children in Ms. Ty's class for a majority of our years at KinderCare. Both Ms. Ty and Ms. Kristine provide a caring and loving environment in their classroom. Both of our children had the best educational experience as they prepared for pre-k but Ms. Ty teaches so much more. She has taught the kids kindness, compassion for others, and doing the right thing. Ms. Ty and Ms. Kristine have been an incredible team and truly support each other to run their classroom. We couldn't be happier with our experience in Ms. Ty's classroom. <3

Our daughter has been enrolled since February 2025 since she was since 4 months old. Nicole, Alyssa and Alexa are so sweet and our daughter loves them. She gets excited to see them everyday, as well as, they get so excited to see her. It’s apparent that they genuinely enjoy the kids, are attentive, and care for their well being and maintain professionalism. Our daughter’s development has progressed well for her age while enrolled in the curriculum, keep up the great work guys! As a parent, it’s very comforting to know that and see the bond they make with each other.
All the classroom instructors and teacher aids that assist with early drop off / late pickup are all great with the kids and treat her well. The front desk staff, security & Administrative teams are all very professional & welcoming. Everyone greets you daily at drop off/pick up and remembers each child’s name. They are always willing to assist if you have any questions/need any help.

Ms. Linda is truly one of a kind. As my son’s UPK Montessori teacher this year, she has been incredibly attentive, endlessly patient, and remarkably skilled at teaching to each child’s individual needs and pace. She has a special gift for exposing the children to so many wonderful things—new concepts, hands-on materials, art, nature, music, and more—while making every moment feel exciting and joyful. My son wakes up eager to go to school and comes home buzzing with new ideas and enthusiasm for learning. Thanks to her thoughtful guidance, he feels confident, curious, and more than ready for kindergarten.
I can say this with complete confidence because my daughter had Ms. Linda last year, and the smooth, happy transition she made into kindergarten was largely because of the strong foundation Ms. Linda built. She truly prepares children not just academically, but emotionally and socially for what comes next.
I also have to give a huge shout-out to her wonderful assistant, Ms. Raginy, who is so genuinely caring, sweet, and supportive. Together, they create the warmest, most nurturing classroom environment imaginable.
We will miss this class so much when the year ends—it’s been such a gift to have both of our children experience Ms. Linda’s magic. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! If you’re lucky enough to have your child in her class, treasure every day—you’re in the very best hands. ❤️

We are so incredibly grateful for my daughter, Amelia’s, Pre-K teachers at KinderCare in Commack, Ms. Chrysa, Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Leslie, this year. From day one, they created a classroom environment that felt safe, loving, and full of joy. It has given me so much peace as a full time working mom and fellow educator knowing my daughter is genuinely cared for every single day in school. I know first hand how much building relationships really matter and can make or break a child’s learning experience.
Ms. Chrysa does an amazing job balancing structure and fun, building strong academic foundations while also nurturing social and emotional growth. I have seen such amazing growth in my daughter’s confidence, independence, and love for learning. She always comes home and says she wants to be a teacher and mommy, just like Ms. Chrysa is.
Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Leslie are just as wonderful — kind, attentive, and truly invested in each child. My daughter will consistently reference the compliments both of these ladies give her on a daily basis. She trusts them and it’s so important these days for children to have a trusted adult in every setting they’re in. It’s clear they all work as a team and pour their hearts into what they do. Every child is seen, encouraged, and celebrated.
We are so grateful as a family to have these three incredible young women as role models for our daughter and we hope they know how much we appreciate them! We are beyond thankful for the impact they’ve had on our daughter.
