It Takes a Village Daycare 487 Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, New York 10027

"My daughter went to this daycare for two weeks and then I removed her. The daycare has too many children with not enough staff. The space is not enough space for a child to move around in. They do take the children out on daily trips but I noticed that every time I came to pick my child up she had a new scar on her body. First it was her elbow, then another day it was her lower arm and then another day it was scratches on her face. No one was able to explain to me what happened to my daughter each time. All they did was apologize to me which I wasn’t too happy about so I ended up removing my child from the daycare."

"There is no supervision from the two caretakers at the public playground. The children are left running to the swing area, inches away from other kids already in the swings and the caretakers are completely oblivious of the danger. They are not responsive to risky situations and do not teach basic safety guidelines to the children they are responsible for."
