Our daughter started here in the infant class with Angel, Lizelle, Yaritza and Matt in Sept 2022 (and is now in the toddler class). Angel was such an absolutely amazing teacher. She was fun, creative and loving. She knew what she was doing and was on top of everything. Taught us so many things too. She helped us raise our daughter into an open, confident, happy, curious and smart little toddler and we were on the same page about everything. Angel was basically like family to us. We graduated to toddler class in January 2023 and have been with them since then. Yaritza and Ms G were the main first teachers and what a fun team they were. Dancing, bubbles, a lot of first words, Spanish songs, all the sensory activities(at infant class and the toddlers), music (with Matt), and more. Really amazing teams and we have been thrilled to be here. Now under the new management of Ms Marina (Nena) with toddler teachers Ms. Shadea and Ms. Anisia she is also really and truly happy and is having fun. She has friends in the class. The schedule is full of daily interesting activities working on learning early concepts of math (numbers), vocabulary (letters), physical activities, building sensory things, washing hands and cleaning, going out, playing... This is a Reggio based daycare which combines learning with fun and we have started to really understand the greatness of it and we really appreciate it.I also want to comment on the location. Unlike a typical NYC daycare which if often surrounded by other buildings and has little sunlight, Big and Tiny is right next to the river, next to lots of green gardens, flowers, open spaces, sunshine and blue sky. After seeing here, it has been quite hard for us to consider other places. Inside the daycare, everything is clean and new, with large windows, calm and happy colors. The actual setting is so beautiful and combined with the great instructor team and good kiddos, it has turned into our favorite extension of home.Our daughter truly loves it here and so do we.
