Lefferts Gardens Childcare

"Our daughter attended Lefferts Gardens Childcare for a year before we moved out of state. The staff is so caring, and she gained so much confidence and her social and communication skills exceled. Miss Jackie has so much positive energy and made our daughter feel loved, safe, and excited each day to go to daycare! The director, Miss Janet, always updated us and let us know how our daughter was doing. Thank you to all the LGC staff!"

"Lefferts Gardens Childcare is a kind and nurturing environment. The care out daughter has gotten has always been wonderful and most importantly she is happy to start and end her days at daycare! She has learned and grown while under Ms. Janet and the other teacher’s care."

"I highly recommend Lefferts Gardens Childcare. Our son has attended this daycare for two years and has grown into a confident, polite, and social toddler thanks to the care and guidance of the experienced LGC staff. There is a very low turnover; the caretakers clearly enjoy their work and love the children. Thank you, Miss Jackie, for your enthusiasm and warm smiles! The cosy facility is very clean and the director, Miss Janet, takes health precautions seriously. There is also a lovely outdoor play space."

"We've had a great year with Lefferts Gardens Childcare. They show great concern for the children's health and well being, which is especially appreciated in the wake of the pandemic. We're glad to have had a reliable daycare run by kind people."

"Lefferts Gardens Childcare (LGC) provides a warm, loving, safe, and stimulating environment for our daughter. Each morning, she charges in the door and throws herself into the arms of her caregivers. When I pick her up, she is calm and beaming – happy to see me, but also visibly at home in her surroundings, with her classmates and community there. Some things I love about this daycare: -There’s a very low caretaker-to-child ratio, and very little turnover among the four full-time staff members. -These caretakers are all women with many years of experience. They sing to the children, feed them, hold them, play with them… they take real pride in their work, and visible joy in being with children. -The structure of the daily schedule ensures that children have time for stories, time for rest, and time for unstructured play with each other. The staff also craft special experiences for them – dances, “block” parties, leaf painting, chalk drawing, etc. -The daycare is housed in a sweet townhouse with a homey interior – wood floors, bay window, fireplace (not active, but still cute) -- and a lovely backyard and garden where they children play on nice days."
