Learning and Fun Daycare has been a wonderful experience for our son and our family. We started there in January 2023 not knowing what to expect as we were returning from almost two years in France. It was also our son’s first experience being taught in English. And we were genuinely impressed with the quality and intimacy of care coupled with the dedication of the caregivers and managing staff. From the beginning, Ros was very engaged in making sure we felt comfortable and the teachers were incredibly gentle and devoted to the kids' wellbeing. We visited a number of daycares in Manhattan which we found underwhelming. This is not the case with Learning and Fun - once you get past the fact that the entrance is through a Ukrainian high school, the daycare classrooms themselves are fantastic: well-decorated, with a lot of natural light. And they have their own dedicated outdoor space with a play area, flower/vegetable garden and mini sports field. Every week they would have: specialized coaches come in for soccer and tennis; librarians from the local NY Public Library branch come in for special storytimes; and a musician called Mr. Ray come in for a music class - all of which our son adored. And I would also recommend the meal plan - it’s catered by the iconic Veselka’s restaurant and our son loved it. In short, we wholeheartedly recommend Learning and Fun! Less
We use this daycare as a drop-in service when visiting New York and it’s really fantastic. The staff is great and very accommodating. The space is really cute and spacious, including an outdoor play area. The meal plan is a huge plus. Highly recommend.

We love Learning and Fun Daycare! Matteo is so happy to go there and enjoy all the activities :) The teachers and Director are kind and very supportive. The location is great and the program very rich. We highly recommend it
Great daily or weakly temporary daycare conveniently located! We left our 2 years old with them for 4 days while visiting NYU. Good communication, reliable.
We had a very positive experience using Learning and Fun as a backup daycare. My 4.5-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter attended random days in May and June 2023 when their program was closed. The tuition was very reasonable, and they were very flexible with the schedule and enrollment. The kids had a great time and were always smiling and having fun at pick-up.

We had a very positive experience using Learning and Fun as a backup daycare. My 4.5-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter attended random days in May and June 2023 when their program was closed. The tuition was very reasonable, and they were very flexible with the schedule and enrollment. The kids had a great time and were always smiling and having fun at pick-up. The teachers are very kind and attentive and the kids were learning about so many fun thing. I especially loved getting pictures of them during the day using the ‘brightwheel’ app. I also found that communicating with the owners- Ros and Oksana- was very easy. They were very responsive and helpful during the entire progress of signing the kids up and transitioning them there for backup care. I would highly recommend this daycare! My kids can’t wait to back in the fall Less

I have been incredibly impressed with this school since my son started attending a year ago. The teachers are truly dedicated, excellent communicators, and show a lot of love and care towards the students. The nurturing environment they provide has been exceptional. The Jungle room (2s class) teachers have been instrumental in my son's development, and it's amazing to see how much he has grown under their guidance. The outdoor space, while not new, is still fantastic and provides a great area for the children to play and explore. I appreciate the school's effort in maintaining it well. I must mention that the school administrator could use more support as they seem stretched a little thin. However, despite this, I have not experienced any major issues or concerns. Moreover, my son has learned valuable habits like making his bed, dressing himself, and cleaning up after his toys, thanks to the teachers. They even successfully potty trained him! Overall, I highly recommend this school for its remarkable staff, nurturing atmosphere, and the excellent progress my son has made. Less

My little one has improved a lot since she has been to learning and fun daycare. The environment is very clean and friendly and my daughter love it! Great job Ros, Oksana and teachers!
Extremely pleased with L&F president-school. Dedicated instructors, engaged student body, advanced learning through play. Top-notch program. Highly recommended.
Learning and Fun Preschool/daycare is an amazing program, great facilities, and I love the fact that they have their own large private outdoor space.

My little one has been going to learning and fun since he turned two. For the past three years, he has been through different classroom with several teachers and he has had such a great time.

My little one has been going to learning and fun since he turned two. For the past three years, he has been through different classroom with several teachers and he has had such a great time. When he first started he could barely said a word as English was not used at our home, the teachers made the transition as smooth as it possibly could. Every teacher he encountered was kind, patient, and nurturing. The classroom was always welcoming, structured, and inclusive. Plus, this is the only daycare I'm aware of that has required dedicated indoor shoes, even before the pandemic! A deal breaker for me 😂 The management team has been evolving and trying their best to communicate and work with the parents. During covid, they provided online learning modules during the lockdown and made their best effort to reopen as soon as they can. It has meant so much for the little one to have social interaction with other kids. Learning and Fun has been the first "society" in my little one's life and will always hold a special place in our family. I recommend it to any parents looking for quality early childhood education.

I can not say enough good things about Learning and Fun! Our 4 year old daughter has had an incredibly nurturing experience from A-Z. Ms. Anel runs a beautiful classroom where the children learn so much from her every week, having fun all the while. Her lesson plans are super organized and prepare them well for Kindergarten. And the kids stay so engaged because of her fun and interactive approach. Ms. Anel also taps in to the kids' creativity with the most inventive arts and craft projects that our daughter is always so proud of and excited to show to us! Lastly, birthdays and holidays are celebrated with amazing class parties that our daughter talks about for hours afterward! Oksana, the program director, has done an excellent job ensuring the safety of the teachers and children as best as possible, in order to keep the program open during the pandemic. As essential workers, this has been so important to my husband and myself. Learning and Fun is just the best! - The Soeprono Family Less
It was first daycare my child has attended and I truly can’t imagine going anywhere else! Thanks to Ms Natalia and Ms Anel it felt like extended family, so we were confident our kid is loved and well taken care of. They went above and beyond, and we are forever grateful!
Our family loves learning and fun. The teachers are very loving and the space is very clean, my son has learnt so much Sinse he started going there.
We have seen our daughter flourish so much since starting at Learning and Fun, she loves her school and her teachers!

We highly recommend Learning and Fun Daycare. We moved a few months ago to NYC and it was very hard for us to find a good daycare for our 2-year-old daughter. But luckily we found Learning and Fun Daycare! Our daughter started 3 months ago and we absolutely love it. Since the beginning, all teachers and directors have been very kind, friendly and supportive with us. She is learning a lot everyday and enjoying all the different activities! She just can't wait to get in the door in the morning to run around with her friends and teachers! Also, the daycare space is amazing! A lot of natural light, a gym for the rainy and cold days and new outdoor playground! If you choose this day care, you will not regret it! Less

Our 3 year old daughter has been attending the Learning and Fun Daycare/Preschool since its opening in September, 2016. We've already had experience with two other Daycare Centers and I must admit that this one is a huge difference! Now we are pretty sure that our child gets enough personal attention from experienced teachers (the class is not overcrowded) and spends her time involved in different educational activities. They also provide complete schedule of upcoming projects and events so we can always see what's going on in great details. The other major plus of this preschool is their full day programs, so we don't need to rush from work or hire a babysitter to pick up the child. They are reasonably priced, flexible and ready to work with parents to meet everyone's needs. It is worth mentioning that they have enough toys, games and art supplies to keep the children occupied all day long without watching TV or other waste of time. Highly recommend! Less
