Social Butterflies Montessori Daycare 1540 Robertson Place, The Bronx, NY 10465

"I have my daughter at Social Butterflies and I couldn't be more relieved and grateful that I found a daycare that can competently and compassionately look after my child. The love and passion that Jessica and her staff have for children is unmatched. Not only that, the peace of mind that I have knowing that my daughter is in good hands is greatly satisfying even to the point that they have an app that is regularly updated to keep you abreast of your child's itenery; so you are always in the loop! So far, this is the best and cleanest daycare I've seen so far. Thank you so much for your work, Jessica!"

"Trusting a stranger to care for my 1 year old was a terrifying thought! Jessica, Allison and the rest of the educators are no longer strangers and to see my little girl flourish is so exciting! She’s doing sign language, talking more but most importantly she’s happy to go to “school” as I call it. She’s having a blast and making friends. If you’re looking for a daycare to trust your baby with definitely recommend social butterfly. (Also love they are Montessori)"

"Life changing. That is the experience that my son had as a result of being under the care of Jessica and her team. Jessica is compassionate and utilizes her extensive 15+ years as an occupational therapist to monitor and promote our children's developmental milestones. She’s very knowledgeable about child development understanding the importance of play and sensory activities. Jessica has resources for years, not months or days! She loves the kids, and it shows! Jessica, I remain forever grateful for everything your Social Butterflies daycare team did for my son at the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic. Keep shining!"

"We recently enrolled our son at Social Butterflies and we are absolutely thrilled with the results! Jessica and her team have helped our toddler grow and develop in many positive ways, including his ability to socialize with other children and his language and communication skills. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming, and the facility is spotless. They provide stimulating activities and learning opportunities to keep the children engaged throughout the day. We are especially appreciative of their Montessori approach, which encourages learning through hands-on activities and promotes cooperation and collaboration among the children. They offer nutritious meals and snacks, and they also have a wonderful outdoor play area and provide plenty of outdoor activities during the summer months. We highly recommend Social Butterflies to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for their child. We could not be more pleased with our choice. (Update to my review above) My 2-year-old son has been attending Social Butterflies Montessori for a while now, and he's always thrilled to head to there in the mornings. When we pick him up, he's brimming with happiness after spending a full day in such a nurturing and educational environment. I can clearly see that he's had an amazing day. However, I wanted to share an extra note to my initial review because of a recent heartwarming experience. We unexpectedly crossed paths with another child from the daycare at our local park. It was truly special to witness how the interactive play techniques they practice at the daycare have a ripple effect beyond its walls. Our son and his daycare buddy showcased remarkable teamwork as they played together, passing a ball back and forth, dancing, and engaging in activities they've learned during their time at Social Butterflies. Their exceptional interpersonal skills, attentiveness to one another, and respect for boundaries – all these skills that parents are particularly concerned about after the pandemic – were on full display. These interactions aren't the norm for children of their age, as they usually tend to stick to "parallel play." To me, this illustrates the positive impact of the social skills they've gained at Social Butterflies. Seeing these results firsthand in a different setting truly highlights the effectiveness and value of the program. For any parents considering daycare for their little one, I wholeheartedly recommend Social Butterflies."

"My daughter is thriving at Social Butterflies and signing her up was one of the best decisions I've made. Prior to joining, I visited other locations but I felt a connection with Jessica and how organized her daycare was run. My daughter has been in their care for over a year and she surprises me everyday with something new that she's learned, far reached her developmental milestones. To start, I'd like to add that the location is in a great neighborhood and pickups and drop offs are easy. The daycare is spotless and it's such a great learning environment. I know that when I drop off my daughter she is in a safe, clean and nurturing environment; I know that she's going to be well fed, and that she will have fun with her many friends and this brings me immense peace of mind and heart."
