Joyful Moments Childcare LLC

"The biggest regret of my life is trusting this facility and its unlicensed/untrained staff and completely sanctimonious owner with our children. The facility has been cited with multiple violations all of which are consistent with what we saw in our time there. I wholeheartedly urge you to beware of this facility. I would recommend you thoroughly review and consider the violations on the OCFS website."

"Our family love, love, loved coming here! We moved upstate from NYC and found JMC when our little one was 7 months old. I never for one minute ever worried about her care and they taught her so many wonderful things. We moved across the river when she was about 3 and had to find one closer to home, but after daycares reopened during the pandemic, no one could accommodate my crazy fluctuating schedule and our child was having so many behavioral issues. So I called JMC up and they took us back with open arms. Not only did they help get our child back on track psychologically, my husband & I finally felt safe again in their doors. All the teachers remembered her and she remembered them! It was the best reunion of little friends and caring adults back in our daughter's life when she needed it the most, so the extra drive back and forth to POK was well worth it! They love their kids there and take health and safety seriously, which was a blessing during the crazy times we all experienced with the pandemic. Now she is in elementary school, but boy do I miss the close attention and individualized care she experienced (and she knew much of the Kindergarten curriculum from her pre-K experience at JMC!)"

"My 3 children went to this childcare facility for 5 years before we moved out of state. I loved the smaller classroom sizes-I felt like they received a better experience as opposed to a classroom with 20+ children in it, the staff were all so sweet and loving-my kids were always loved on and well cared for, they went on field trips, did cooking in the classroom, had a yoga instructor come to the center monthly, planned fun winter and summer activities, and more! The memories made were endless and they still talk about their old school. I highly recommend this center to anyone who’s hesitant to put their child in daycare! They will learn more than just their ABCs and numbers here."

"Owner will have you believe she is kind and caring, but she couldn't care less. This is just a side gig for her and she repeatedly turns a blind eye to problems, dangerous situations and staff. Do not send your kids here."

"We had a terrible experience. While our child was only there for 4 months we had at least 4 different classroom teachers during that time. Except for one they all quit from one day to the next. The owner Ebony was acrimonious in her interaction with us and would not take responsibility for several things that went wrong. We were so much happier once we switched to a different daycare provider down the road. I highly recommend you stay as far away as possible from this daycare."
