Aspiring Minds Center

"Looking for a day care to send your child is probably one of the hardest decisions you’ll face as a parent. How do you put your trust into a facility with caring for your child? I’d love to help give you some peace of mind about Aspiring Minds. My wife and I looked at several places in the neighborhood but weren’t impressed or just didn’t feel right… you know that gut feeling that tells you that perhaps this isn’t a good fit. The first impression that we got upon visiting Aspiring Minds sold us immediately. First, the building has natural light coming in from all sides so your child is not going to be in a room with four walls all day long. During the tour the kids all met us with smiles and encouraged our child to join them. The activities that they participate in daily set them up for success as well. You’ll feel proud of the new skills they’ll acquire in the process. Photos are uploaded daily, the meals that are prepared are made fresh every day and you have peace of mind that they’re also getting a chance to be kids amongst their peers. The teachers will provide a report of progress or stuff in general for instance, how they ate, did they eat at all, are they getting along with other children, potty training etc. When you drop off your child here you can be rest assured that the facility is doing its best to service them as well as you."

"Can’t describe how grateful I am! Aspiring Minds is the best day care in New York. Teachers are amazing and gentle. Big and warm shoutout to Nadya, Olya, Vika, Olesya and Zoriana. My son is happy every day when he returned home and exited to go there every morning. They care for my little son as he’s their own kid. What else we as a parents can think about! Hugs and a lot of thanks to people that create such a nice environment for our little ones. Valeriia Isakov"

"This is the best daycare in Brooklyn!!!! I was so happy that I have chosen this place for my son. He went there for almost two years and he enjoyed every single day. This is a fantastic daycare with excellent curriculum. They provide so many activities, such as karate, yoga, music, cooking, Russian, science and soccer classes, in which kids can show their hidden talent. The daycare delivers a high-quality education as well as overall child development. I really appreciate the efforts made by the administration and teachers to ensure the children's bright future. Without the doubt this daycare has the best teachers ever!!!!!! They are doing an amazing work and they keep kids cared and loved. Thank you so much Aspiring Minds for the astonishing work you do!!! I highly recommend this daycare!!!"

"The best daycare in Brooklyn! It excels in every aspect: 1. Curriculum ( including G&T prep, soccer, karate, theater, yoga, cooking, music/dancing) and teachers are outstanding! Daycare nurturers and challenges your child every day. We transferred our son from another daycare and right away saw the results- child opened up and blossomed into a creative and independent thinker, who knows not only his numbers, alphabet but also started to read, knows how to bake cookies/pizza, grow a mini garden and all about continents and planets. We were so surprised to see such a positive change in child just within a couple of months of the transfer. 2. Safe and clean environment with homemade meals made freshly on premises. 3. The most important- kids are Loved!!!! The teachers are fantastic and loving. Our son is very fortunate to have been a part of Aspiring Minds family for more than 3 years. Amazing place for kids! Thank you Aspiring Minds!"

"6/14/22 Update: We've had a number of wonderful birthdays here (thanks to the parents--parents are typically quite involved & active at AMC). My son is also now doing extra dance classes, he seems to enjoy. Update: We are still loyal to AMC, though, unfortunately there has been teacher turn-over. I still feel my (now) 4-year old is very happy here, and is part of a small class (9students during the day + 3 more after-school students). There are so many fantastic extra curricular activities, from TKD, to cooking, drama, Russian, dance & more. It would be difficult to otherwise expose him to his array of activities, regularly. My son (2yr old) loves this place!! He loves his teachers and classmates. For this reason, I really appreciate the daycare's aim to keep the students with a consistent "main teacher" and with their "cohort" of students. I was heart-sick when I had to go back to work at 3.5months, but Aspiring Minds made that possible (it is pricey, as compared to other area daycares, but you get what you pay for here). Previously "Royal Star Daycare", Aspiring Minds has ended the prior issues with " teacher turnover". And my son couldn't love school more. Also, as a Manhattan commuter, it is one of the only facilities open past 6pm. Typically I can pick my son up btwn 5:45-6:15, but having that extra leeway is SO reassuring. This is a bright, clean, new facility and best of all, it is a "stand alone"--the building is only for the daycare (no other businesses). The daycare is very responsible regarding keeping track of medical documents & asking for all updated immunizations. Additionally, the brightstar app they use is a GREAT way to be informed about what your kids are up to. Our teacher sends photos a few times a week (and will send upon request as well--which you can " check in" via the app too). And payment via the app is convenient also. All in all, Great choice. Warm teachers, fun activities, professional management, new facilities, fresh food, flexible hours and more."
