Anyone use Kiddie Academy Islip or TT in Holbrook
We are starting to explore daycare options for us when I go back to work in November. is due in July and I plan on staying home until he is a little over 3 months.
My MIL watched DS#1 until he went to preschool but the situation was a stressful one and caused a lot of friction between DH his mom and myself.
That said I seem to finally have gotten DH on board for finding a more suitable arrangement this time around. We toured Kiddie Academy in Islip, which is 5 minutes from our work, yesterday and it seemed clean, friendly, caring, etc...and we have a tour at Tutor Time in Holbrook, which is 5 minutes from our house, on Monday. A friend of mine used TT in East Patchogue and was very unhappy with the staff turn around and the staff in general.
Any advice on either place would be greatly appreciated.

When I toured Kiddie Academy, they were out of ratio in one of the rooms. Immediate turn off.
I don't know much about TT in Holbrook, but I want to add that DS goes to Tender Years in Bohemia and we absolutely love it. It's a privately owned center. The director is wonderful and my sons's teachers are amazing.

I cannot say enough good about TT in holbrook. DD has been there since 9 weeks old. I have never once had a negative experience with her care there. She loves it. I love it. The staff is amazing. My dd truly loved every single teacher she has had. And I have seen how much they care about her as well...and it really makes me feel good about leaving her there each day. Rules and regulations are followed to a T. Everything is clean and safe. FM me if you need more details.

I did really like the staff at TT in holbrook. However, they were a bit pricey. We are in Holbrook. DD goes to TT in Ronkonkoma (by the train station) and it's less expensive. I like the staff their too. Just another option for you to tour.

You are going to love Joanne in the infant room. She is just amazing and really sealed my decision to go there. Good luck with your search
