  HORRIBLE management!!!! Very short staff , teachers have left due to the amount of DRAMA in the daycare. Teachers have left or been upset with POOR management in this center. My kid is Autistic and has some behavioral troubles , that this center isn't capable of handling so they'd rather push to get him unenrolled .

  I had 3 children in this daycare but it dropped down to 1 when they told me they were dropping the bussing program to my older 2 boys school. I kept my daughter in there because I loved her teachers and they treated her like she was one of their own children. Now I find out a week before school starts that they are no longer taking drop in kids (ones who only come on school off days). They could have told me the beginning of summer so my 4 yr old daughter didn’t have to adjust to big kid school AND a new daycare for only random off days. The director’s solution was to send her to the champions program which she had no information on and come to find out the closest one is about a 20 minute drive from my house then another 30 minutes to get to work. How is that a situation? The respect and common curtesy is lacking at this facility. I was highly recommending this place until the new director started and it all went downhill. Please if you have kids there remove them and find a better facility!! (Gave 2 stars because some of the teachers are absolutely amazing but highly underpaid!)

  Worst day care ever my daughter is 6 months old and being neglected by the staff that get paid to watch children. I sent my daughter with socks and my brother picked her up and they didn’t have her socks on and it was cold. She is now with runny nose and they also keep taking things out her bag and keeping them instead of asking for supplies.

  When I called about bringing my children there I spoke with Janella and she was so great! She was incredibly helpful, nice, and very informative. She made the conversation so easy and made me feel so comfortable. She answered every question I had with confidence which put my mind at ease about this daycare. Since there aren't any in person tours allowed right now she gave me options on how to see the center. She really made a difficult situation very easy going and comfortable. If everyone in that center is as great as her I will have no problem bringing my kiddos there.

  Our 1.5 year old has been with 61st St KinderCare since she was 4 months old and we couldn’t be more pleased with the center. The caregivers are very kind, always saying good morning/good night and telling me about DDs day while wearing a smile. The center is very clean and has lots of space for the LOs to play and run around in. Despite your normal baby and toddler tears, the kids are usually very happy and DD is always excited to see her caregivers in the morning. There have been many times I’ve gone to pick up DD and she has wanted to stay and play at the end of the day, showing how much she enjoys her space and time there. I feel very comfortable and safe with the center and that’s one of the most important things about 61st St to me, I can leave DD for the day knowing she is happy, stimulated, learning, and well taken care of. I want to thank 61st St KinderCare for taking such good care of DD (the most precious thing in our lives) while we go to work every day - you do a fantastic job! I definitely recommend this center to other parents.
