Parent Reviews
We are incredibly grateful for the care and dedication this daycare has shown to our son. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcomed, reassured, and confident that our child was in good hands. A very special recognition goes to Mrs. Grant, whose impact goes far beyond daily care. Her patience, consistency, and genuine love for the children play a huge role in shaping not just routines, but character. It’s rare to find someone so committed to helping shape a generation with such intention and heart. You can truly feel her influence in the way the children learn, behave, and grow. What stands out most is how attentive and nurturing the entire team is. They don’t just supervise—they invest in each child. Our son has grown in confidence, social skills, and independence, and it’s clear that he feels safe and happy in their care. Communication has also been excellent, which gives us peace of mind as working parents. Knowing that our child is supported, guided, and genuinely cared for every day means everything to us. No place is perfect, but the effort, compassion, and dedication this daycare—especially Mrs. Grant—puts into each child truly makes a difference. We highly recommend them to any parent looking for a trustworthy and nurturing environment.
Finding the right childcare was a pressing priority for our family last November. As both my wife and I work full-time, we needed a place that offered more than just supervision; we needed a partner in our son's growth. We feel incredibly blessed to have found Esther Day Care. As a licensed professional teacher from the Philippines, I approach education with a critical eye, and I am profoundly impressed by the program here. During our initial orientation, Mrs. Grant discussed the vital importance of the parental role in building a child's foundation. Her insights shifted our perspective deeply. Through her guidance, we realized that our responsibility to our son extends far beyond being providers; we must actively strive to better ourselves to ensure he reaches his maximum potential. Mrs. Grant provided us with a clear, step-by-step roadmap of the areas we needed to improve at home to properly prepare our son for his transition into formal schooling. The results over the last four months have been remarkable. When we started, our little boy was deeply attached to us and struggled with significant separation anxiety. Today, he is becoming increasingly independent and confident. He has not only overcome his anxiety but is now enthusiastically engaging and interacting with children his own age. We are so grateful to Mrs. Grant for helping our son build the best possible foundation for his future.
Wonderful place my son loves it. they’re a little bit of stickler for the rules, but I guess every place needs proper structure. My son loves it wakes up every morning happy to go to school everyday because even weekends.
My child has been attending Esther Daycare for the past few months, and our experience has been very positive. The staff are professional, attentive, and genuinely caring toward the children. They create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment that supports learning and development. I appreciate the level of communication and the effort the teachers put into ensuring each child feels comfortable and supported. It’s reassuring to know my child is in such capable and caring hands each day. I would highly recommend Esther Daycare to other families looking for quality childcare.
Esther day care is God sent; my son started the day care at 2yrs old; he enjoyed everyday he went. He learnt so much and carried that knowledge to his current middle school he attends at this time. I will never forget the smile on his face as I witnessed the activities he participated in such as apple picking in Long Island and also visiting the animal farm. I can’t explain how great this day care is, you will have to experience it for yourself.
My 2 year old daughter started attending Ester Daycare September 2024 and it was one of the best decision I ever made. Mrs Grant is nurturing and caring, the environment is safe and welcoming, the curriculum is exceptional and the communication never stops. My child has something new to share everyday about what she did in school and the joy on her face tells me she is loving it and she looks forward to going back every week. Mrs Grant cares deeply for every child as if they are her own and this helps me to relax even more knowing that my child is safe and is being taken care of.
My 2 yr old son started going to Ms Esther Daycare since last year November & when I tell you that was one of the best decision ever made. I can’t even explain the type of love Ms Esther has for her children at the daycare including my son is out of this world. This is her true calling the amount of patience she show my son is greatly appreciated, I know he is in great hands anytime he is at daycare. She goes above & beyond for us & treats us like family & because of that i will forever owe her. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants nothing but the best for their child.
A couple weeks ago my son started going to Esther daycare and I MUST say I see a huge improvement. Ms. carol has so much love for children and it shows. I would Say the daycare is a 10/10. I would recommend to everyone.
14 yrs ago a friend referred me to Esther's daycare. My son was only 4mtha old at the time , I was very young and needed a lot of guidance! Ms carol is so patient, kind, trustworthy, knowledgeable a true heaven sent. She took such immaculate care of my only child for 4yrs,caring for him as her own. The care she provided went beyond what anyone else would have given. I would highly recommend her day care to anyone that's looking for a well qualified and exceptional care for their child/ children.
My 2 children attended Esther Daycare. It was one of the best choices my wife and I made for our kids. Mrs Grant is very knowledgeable, determine and passionate about the care she provide to the children and she is very involved with us as parents as well, to continue at home what she is instilling in our kids. I will always recommend anyone I know to this facility. You will not be disappointed.
The best child care I ever had for my children ms. Esther she's so loving very patient my kids loved her they haven't been there for a couple months and they still pray for her every night tend to the kids very well if you want to feel comfortable leaving your kids while you're working this is the place
I couldn’t ask for a better childcare provider! Ms. Esther is so loving, patient, and knowledgeable. My son LOVES going to her and he is thriving at six months. She treats all her kids like they are family and provides parents like myself with a community that you will not find anywhere else. It’s the biggest relief to know that my child is safe and cared for by Ms. Esther at the highest standard.
Esther is running an amazing daycare. I waited months for a spot to put my son in this one because I knew there wasn’t anyone like her. My son is learning, eating healthy and excited to go.i highly recommend.
I love Esther’s day care she takes good care of my son needs and care. She’s good at what she does
This Day care is not only a simple daycare, it is a family.They treat kids as theirs and it means a lot. My daughter is there with them and she loves this place so much. I thanked God because he showed me the way to come to Esther DayCare. If you want someone who’s believing in God and a good education, bring kids here… It is just a blessed place…
The best of the best. I highly recommend Esther daycare to any parents who are looking for a safe place. The staff are caring for kids and their family. I highly recommend that place to any parents who are looking for a good daycare.
Ester provides quality child care in a loving and nurturing environment. The daycare is clean and well organized, and the staff are great!!! My son is super excited to get to the daycare everyday.
This is the number 1 daycare in the world. My children went to this daycare and they always came out clean, fed, and well taken care of. The staff is also well trained and patient with the kids. Not only that but the environment is amazing, clean, and safe. Once you drop off your children, you have nothing to worry or stress about. They also teach your children a variety of things and work well with them individually, even children with IEPs. Once you start at the daycare, you become family and your child/children will be prepared for kindergarten. I still keep in contact with Miss Grant of what my children accomplish since they left the daycare and send pictures of awards and graduation. In result of my children going to Miss Grant’s daycare, they are well behaved and now shining in college.
Ms Carol daycare is one of the best, my son use to go there years ago, they took good care of him I had no problem at all he was well fe, when I pick him up he is clean as I bring him. He was so love in that day granny was one of the best also she took care of all the children as her grandchildren she was well love by the parents and Ms Carol and her staff. I will definitely recommend this daycare to anyone who is looking for a place for their children they will be well safe nothing to worry about.
If you are looking for a day care look no further Esther day is a great place to bring your children .upon walking in you feel love and a sense of care . The staff are engaging and concern about your children well being…my children also attend so I’m speaking from experience..

The Esther Day Care team was the most trustworthy, thorough, & genuinely caring environment I could have chosen for both my children. The four years spent in their care provided my son (now 15) & daughter (now 8), with a solid educational foundation that gave us a great head start and preparation for life after daycare. My personal relationship with Mrs. Carol Grant played a major part in my development as a parent. I was educated on how children learn through play, the importance of structure, the effectiveness of community, along with many other valuable lessons and methods I still use & recommend to other parents today! - Nikeshia Carter
Wonderful and caring Daycare Center. My daughter has been attending this daycare since she was 3 months old. Safe and loving environment. I love the safety measures they have in place and feel super safe with my child is here. I couldn’t ask for better care takers for my child. My daughter has learned so much and excited to go to school everyday to see her teachers and friends. The communication between staff and parents are excellent as well. I would highly recommend this day care to everyone looking for child care.
excellent place where the values of respect, discipline and order were part of my girls' education in addition to the love and teachings received. Thanks
