Tati's Small World 132 32nd Street, Union City, NJ 07087

"My twins started at Tati's at 4 months old - and in the fall they will "graduate" at 4 years old. What an incredible little place we were so fortunate to find. From the outside its an unassuming brick building . Outsiders can not see in ( a good thing , imo). On the inside - you will be surprised to find a meticulously clean, well laid out, legitimate little school - unlike other daycares that maybe feel like they're in someone's living room - dirty carpets - etc. Tati's gets mopped and cleaned at the end of each day. Everything is back in its place for a fresh start the next morning. As for the care of my children, I knew they were always in good hands. Never did I ever hear my children say a bad word about their teachers. Ms Dixie in particular was always the perfect blend of firm and loving - which is exactly what you need in a room full of toddlers! I called her the child whisperer. When my son didn't want to be dropped off, she knew him so well she always knew what to say to get him to go in. Also, she was the momma when she needed to be - which is what you want with little ones. All the teachers were so kind and loving. Academically , they work with them too. What Tati's lacks in outdoor space - they made up for in trips to the local playgrounds and walks. In the summer - they take them to the splash pad a few blocks away. They have enrichment classes like gym and music each week to change it up. Ms Cindy and Ms Nastassia in the office are always working hard to find ways to improve the school and the space. They recently started a little school library where kids can borrow and bring back books - a nice addition. They throw little parties for holidays. For example - On cinco de Mayo the kids all made their own fresh salsa, on Holi they painted t-shirts and for Mothers day they're having the moms for "tea." These are just a few examples. We have loved Tati's . Don't know what we would have done without them!"

"Most importantly, I know my daughter is safe, cared for and loved while she's at Tati's. I find their facilities and practices extremely clean and careful, they follow all state mandated protocols to the T and while daycare germs are unavoidable, the staff and community of parents respect the sick policy well which is a big factor in keeping illness spreading at bay. I like that they send photos throughout the day but that I truly forget my daughter is there most of the time, I just never need worry about her because I really feel confident in the care providers. It’s a no frills facility and while there are certainly “fancier”centers in the area, I am very happy with our Tati’s experience. And at the end of the day, my daughter loves all of the teachers and staff. What more could you ask for?! Only sadness is our favorite teacher was moved from our daughter’s classroom into the Pre-K class. Excited to send our infant there come summer!"

"Before coming to Tati’s, we tried sending my son to two other local daycares and did not feel comfortable with the care he was getting. Words cannot express how reassured I am to know now that my son is being cared for by the knowledgeable, loving, conscientious, experienced staff at Tati’s. He is in the toddler room, and he has nothing but love for the head teacher Ms. Dixie, who is amazing. Just one example of how she goes above and beyond: she noticed our son was ready to start potty training, and since we hadn’t started the process ourselves, she has been potty training him for us. The staff is not only amazing with the kids, they are so kind and approachable with parents. If I have a question or a concern, they are easy to talk to and responsive. Tati’s is truly a diamond in the rough when it comes to affordable daycares in the Weehawken/Union City area!"

"Our son has been attending TSW since he was 1.5 years old after two not-so-good experiences at other local centers and we love it! Miss Dixie and the rest of the toddler class teachers are attentive, caring, and communicative. They focus on activities to keep your little one entertained and learning. The center itself is clean, spacious and has lots of sunlight coming in. You get frequent updates via the Tadpole app and peace of mind knowing they have security cameras and access control. Our son has learned so much in the year+ that he's been there. I'd recommend TSW to anyone!"

"Our son went to TSW for 2 years (1 year to almost 3 years). He had an amazing experience in the infant and toddler rooms, although there has been some turnover in staff. The teachers take their jobs very seriously and expect you as parents to do the same (always bring water bottles, utensils for food, etc) which we loved. They are a loving, caring place in a great convenient location. Thank you TSW for everything!"
