Lamont-Doherty Child Development Center 135 Route 9W, Palisades, NY 10964

"This place is amazing. The teachers are dedicated, attentive, and clearly love their work. The classrooms are clean, bright, calm, and welcoming. My 2 year old son absolutely loves it here and I would not take him anywhere else."

"We’ve had a wonderful experience at the Lamont-Doherty Child Development Center. The Director is amazing, and our son’s teachers are phenomenal. Our son has some scary food allergies, so sending him to daycare has been stressful in the past, but the staff at Lamont are incredibly diligent and well-trained around medical issues. They have our complete trust. Our son also adores being at the center (he sometimes asks to go back to school after we get home at night!), and he’s learning a tremendous amount. Great communication, great learning environment, and great community – highly recommend."

"I have had nothing but a wonderful experience since starting my daughter in the toddler room here. Under the incredible direction of Ms. Lauretta, you will find a truly wonderful staff who care deeply about the children and go out of their way to make them comfortable and happy. Ms. Carol and Ms Jen in the toddler room are exceptional. My daughter is happy every time we arrive. It is very much a family experience at the center, after starting my toddler and seeing how great it is, I was quick to enroll my infant as well. Through the app, you are kept updated on your child's every move. I am so happy to see my babies grow and thrive at this great place!!"

"I came across Bright Horizons Lamont when I was looking for backup childcare. Lamont center far exceeds my expectations. Ms. Sonia, Ms. Ellen in the pre-school room and Ms. Lauretta, the director, are among the most caring and warm teachers we have ever met. My 3-year-old son loves coming here. The center gives kids healthy snacks, has plenty of indoor and outdoor activities and sends carefully written daily reports and tons of pictures! Despite that we have other backup childcare options in my area, I am so impressed with Lamont that I've decided to drive my son from White Plains to here whenever we have needs."

"I cannot recommend Lamont and its staff enough. My two children went there and we had the pleasure of experiencing all of the classrooms (there are only 3!). The teachers in each room are just so warm, loving, kind and truly became an extension of our family. The center also provides healthy food options, lots of outdoor time and rich learning experiences. I'm grateful for this school every day and my kids, who are now in elementary school, continue to remember fondly the time they spent there and all the teachers they love."
