  We could not be more grateful for the incredible experience our daughter has had at KinderCare. From the moment we enrolled, we knew we had found something special and that feeling has only grown stronger with each passing day. A huge thank you to Ms. Olivia and Ms. Sabrina, who bring so much patience, warmth, and creativity to the classroom every single day. Our daughter comes home excited to share what she learned, and it's clear she feels safe, seen, and truly loved. The way these teachers engage with her and nurturing their curiosity while keeping them happily busy is nothing short of amazing. We also want to recognize Corrie, whose leadership and dedication shine through in every aspect of the center. She runs a tight ship with a kind heart, always making time for parents and ensuring the environment is welcoming, organized, and focused on the kids' well-being. KinderCare isn't just a daycare for our family, it's a second home where our daughter is thriving. Thank you, Ms. Olivia, Ms. Sabrina, and Corrie, for everything you do. You make a real difference in our children's lives, and we appreciate you more than words can say!

  My family and I are incredibly grateful to have our son attend KinderCare in Manhasset. It’s a wonderful place with people we truly trust to care for our little one. The center director, Ms. Corrie, is an exceptional leader who always puts the children first while also being attentive to the needs of parents. She is always available and willing to help, along with Ms. Dennesi. Both go above and beyond to ensure the children have a fun, safe, and enriching learning experience. The teachers are extremely understanding, patient, and caring. I also appreciate being able to stay connected through the app, where I can see all the engaging activities planned for my child’s class—it’s a great way to feel involved and many pictures to see during the day. I highly recommend KinderCare in Manhasset

  We attended February 2025 through March 2026. If you are looking at KinderCare - pay serious attention to the OCFS violations. Their license was pending revocation between October 2025 til maybe Feb or March of 2026. The infant room experience was great, but the toddler rooms are a total disaster. We have had two incidents that involved CPS investigations, one where a teacher was accused of physically hurting multiple infants (including ours), and one where our child was given a known allergen despite documentation + home foods/snacks/drinks supplied. For the first incident, the teacher was kept on staff until multiple parents raised complaints and concerns! The hours are good but at the end of the day, your child needs to be safe. There are a handful of good teachers who go above and beyond, yet they are overworked and underappreciated by management. KinderCare corporate follows a concept of "ratio based care", so they will minimize the number of teachers needed on staff vs the number of students actually present. 1 teacher to 5 toddlers is TECHNICALLY acceptable under OCFS standards, but anyone with a toddler knows that to carry that ratio for a full day is unsustainable and dangerous. Our child often came home with filthy diapers or smelling awful, because depending on which teacher was watching the kids, they would not properly clean the child with diaper changes. Unless you have no choice, I would not send your children, especially younger ones who cannot speak up, here.

  This is a great place and I can't recommend it enough. We send our youngest child here after moving from Suffolk county and changing jobs. This place checks all of the boxes: great hours, friendly staff to greet you at drop off and see you off at pick up, high level of security (individual passcode doors and entry), enclosed outdoor play area separate for little littles and bigger littles, clean and light-filled classrooms with plenty of books and toys, friendly teachers AND they provide breakfast, lunch, and snack (please do not underestimate how critical that is)! They also communicate throughout the day with pictures and brief updates with an app. More than that, though, the children are active all day long with teachers that really care about them. They are genuinely lovely people and we are very, very happy. The location off Northern Blvd can be tough, but that's true of the entirety of Northern Blvd. Yes, you supply diapers and wipes - that is also true of all childcare places today. Aside from maybe the location, this is just hands down one of the best places.

  awful corporate owned daycare, meaning they do not pay their teachers well and parents are dealing constant tuition increases. i sent my son here for 5+ years and i am so glad to be done with this place. within the last year, this daycare has had incidents where a young child was left locked in the outside playground in the hot summer for over an extended time (over 40+ mins) without anyone realizing he was missing. a few weeks later, my son was involved in an incident that was reported to Office of Child and Family Services (OCFS) where a teacher was reported to be handling my toddler son aggressively. after investigation, i learned this teacher had been disciplined 3x for the same reason and no action was taken by the director. the final straw was the director not notifying me of the incident (had to find out from OCFS) and she was not even being apologetic. a red flag for anyone considering KC is there is a big open house sign in front of kindercare promoting they have open availability because most of the parents i know pulled their child from kindercare after the incident with my son. any decent daycare is going to be fully booked because of childcare staffing shortages and parents being diligent about not cutting corners when it comes to finding the right care for their baby. google "MANHASSET KINDERCARE OCFS" and check for yourself.
