Parent Reviews – Daycare in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn
This childcare center is amazing! Our son attended here for daycare when he was 2 years old and I’m glad they also offer UPK so he’s back for preschool as well. The staff do a good job at keeping parents up to date with photos or videos of classroom activities, as well as messages and newsletters in the app to keep us updated on general announcements. The teachers take the time to speak to parents to bring up concerns or updates as needed. I wish they also had kindergarten as I know my son really likes the staff and children.

I think the best review is a happy child. My child is very happy and gladly goes to his favorite daycare to his friends. He believes that his friends are both children and educators. My son is glad to new knowledge, he is interested in many things, we are not addicted to games on the tablet. Thanks to the educators who were able to successfully combine study and play.
Cecilia Martinez
My daughter attends Little Scholars VI and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Brand new place, loving teachers with outdoors and an App/brightwheel that you receive daily updates and photos of your little one. My daughter can’t wait to go to school every morning and this is very encouraging. They also provide meals, which I would prefer they made more nutritious choices to be honest. Overall, a very nice and safe place!
