Play Based Bronx Daycare

"Play Based Bronx is a true gem. In every way, Juzenia and her exceptional assistants have exceeded my expectations! My 9 month old daughter adores going to Play Based Bronx, she kicks her legs and squeels with glee as we arrive. The environment is so lovely, I wish I could stay too! The space is poised for lots of creative and stimulating play, kept extremely clean and I've often heard classical music playing. Play Based Bronx is professional, organized and consistent. I know that each day I will receive updates and photographs as well as an end of day report - the care we receive is like we are part of a family. I also love that she gets outdoor time & exposure to community activities. I couldnt imagine better for my sweet baby, she is learning Sign Language and Spanish - a dream! Juzenia has a Masters from Bank Street, an exceptional program and we are so lucky to be beneficiaries of her knowledge and passionate care! Highly Recommend!"

"I can't thank PlayBasedBronx enough for their incredible impact on my child's development. The founder's dedication to creating a supportive learning environment has been truly transformative. The clean and thoughtfully designed space, influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach, allows my child to explore, create, and take charge of their education. Witnessing their growth in confidence and knowledge has been a joy beyond words. From a parent's standpoint, PlayBasedBronx is more than just a daycare; it's a haven of inspiration and growth for young minds. PlayBasedBronx has truly been a game-changer for my children's lives. The founder's commitment to fostering a nonjudgmental environment where kids are free to be themselves and explore their curiosity is truly commendable. My children have consistently felt safe, secure, and encouraged to express themselves fully. The emphasis on cleanliness is palpable, reflecting their dedication to providing the highest standard of care. The loving and nurturing atmosphere they create is evident in every interaction and activity, reaffirming my confidence in their exceptional approach to childcare and education. My daughters have found a special place in their hearts for PlayBasedBronx, particularly the dramatic play section. It's truly heartwarming to witness their excitement and engagement as they immerse themselves in imaginative scenarios. This corner of the daycare seems to ignite their creativity and social skills, allowing them to explore various roles and narratives in a playful and supportive setting. The fact that they eagerly look forward to this section speaks volumes about the thought and effort that PlayBasedBronx invests in creating an enriching and enjoyable experience for every child."

"Juzenia has been part of my child-care village for over a decade. I am a business owner and duty can call at anytime. Anytime I am in need assistance with picking up my kids from school or just child care in general, Juzenia is the first person I turn to (Shes on my speed dial). When I inform my kids that Juzenia will be taking care of them for the day or they will be picked up by he after school, their little faces light up! She is very nurturing and caring and always finds fun way for the kids to learn. She has taken my children on trips to different places including baseball games, out for lunch, or just out and about to explore and learn through experience and they’ve absolutely loved each experience. Throughout the day she maintains constant communication about how they’re doing or if there are any concerns which always eases that slight anxiety us moms get when our kids are away from us. She has taken care of kids since they were babies. They are now 8 and 10 and I am truly blessed and grateful to have her as a care-taker to my kids. I would not recommend anyone else but her for your childcare needs."

"As a father of three, I cannot express enough gratitude for the Juzenia’s profound impact on my eldest son's educational journey. This extraordinary teacher is not only knowledgeable and well-versed in early childhood development, but also possesses a unique ability to infuse thoughtfulness and creativity into every lesson. Her passion for fostering a family-oriented environment truly shines through, as she goes above and beyond to make every student feel valued and loved. Moreover, her bilingual skills have been instrumental in creating a diverse and inclusive classroom, where all children feel a sense of belonging. I am particularly impressed by her exceptional use of play as a key engagement strategy, seamlessly blending fun and learning to create an environment where my son thrives. It is evident that this Juzenia’s dedication and unwavering commitment to her students' growth is nothing short of remarkable. She is truly a gem, and I am forever grateful for the positive impact she has had on my son's early education."

"Play Based Bronx is a quality daycare center with a director who is well educated from Bank Street and cares deeply for her hometown Bronx community. Your child is in good hands with a member of the community who will provide your child with a safe, loving, supportive, and caring education during the most important years of development."
