Tutor Time

My daughter has been attending Tutor Time in Levittown since 2012. She is going to Kindergarten this September, but will be coming back for all of the school breaks. I just can’t say enough great things about this particular Tutor Time. From the front door to the classroom I have always been met with smiling faces. My daughter is above and beyond where she needs to be at her age and I credit a lot of that to the teachers at Tutor Time. I want to thank Christina and Jessica for always listening, understanding and going our of their way to make this center one of the best. I could go on and on about each teacher and how great they are, but I will keep it short and sweet and just say Janet, Jessica, Gina, Nicole, Ilyse, Geri and all of the assistant teachers and anyone else I may have missed, have always been so kind to me and more importantly kind and caring to my daughter. I would recommend this Tutor Time to anyone looking for a happy, clean, educational center to bring their children to. Thank you all for making the last few years of this working moms life a little easier knowing she is in great hands throughout the day. Although I am going to miss our morning routine of drop off at Tutor Time, I am so happy we will get to return for all of the school breaks!

I visited other daycare & child care centers. I felt most comfortable with this Tutor Time. I like the security and the director & assistant director are vigilant about it & safety. My little one [LO] has been attending this Tutor Time as an infant. From the start, the staff and director has been understanding & helpful. The day before my LO’s first day, I was given a no charge ½ day — which I realized later it was more for me than my LO! So from the start, I could see that there is understanding & caring!
There’s transparency in what occurs with the care of my LO so I’m not left wondering about my LO’s care. There are daily reports which are helpful, & if I ask for additional information to be written about, the instructors & director are more then willing to comply. Whenever there is an incident [which is very rare], I am immediately contacted & given as much disclosure [understand where there are limits to privacy & such] & it comes in writing also. So I see that incidents are not brushed off but taken seriously, however with understanding. The staff are appreciative of any feedback, provide feedback, are friendly, & provide a warm & safe environment. The director, assistant director & instructors are patient with me [especially me, when I happen to forget repeated names] & my spouse, and are so warm & caring towards my LO. They’re also accommodating to my requests towards the care of my LO, which is really appreciated. There are some things that they provide that when I ask my other friends about their child care, they are surprised that these are provided which they do not get.
My LO enjoys the time spent there. There are times when I have to drag my LO out due to all the fun that is happening! I can see that my LO is developing quite well, with the projects, crafts, instruction and interaction with the class. The instructors want my LO to do well, & be safe & comfortable. The staff are more than willing to provide suggestions to help with further development of my LO.
Highly recommended!

Would never recommend. Too bad that after I had my son for almost 2 months I took action and took him out of their version of «pre-​K» program. I started to realize at that point that even regular day care at Bright Horizons was much better where my son was showing and telling the things he learned. Teachers are most likely not qualified to teach (try talking to them and you will see), the director of the place has a very fake attitude and I had to call corporate twice to complain about their service. After I went left this place and signed up my son to a certified montessori school in East Meadow I realized how important an opinion from even people you know is. 2 of my friends had the same experience. The montessori school is focused on learning and at a much better price. I paid $ 260 for 3 days per week with Tutor Time while I am paying $ 540 with Montessori for 5 days per month! My son now is learning (not napping for 2 hours during learning time like with Tutor Time), he is bringing new interesting pieces of work he did at school (I never got anything back other than negative reports). We do homework together which enables him to learn (he brought in 3 homeworks with Tutor time which were on a level of a 2 year old). At Tutor Time they blamed my son for other kids behavior changes — guess what, when a kid his age is not engaged in some activities, he will think of doing anything to be entertained. At montessori school he has positive feedback everyday! No Nap time for 2 hours, no time to do whatever you want, all certified montessori teachers who demand parents attention during the learning process and not just for complaining that a kid should be like a robot listening to their orders at Tutor Time!.. I am glad I only wasted 2 months and not a day longer… 1 more thing. they charge a ridiculous $ 260 registration fee… they try to jam a $ 30 late fee after misinforming me and trying to tell me to read my contract! They send weekly activity letters to have you spend another $ 150 for some «entertainment» on top of the $ 260 i was already paying! … At montessori they waved the last week of the month and told me to start paying for the following month instead (no registration fee either) … Anyway you look at it, its a rip of, not a place for kids. I cannot vouch for any other locations but this place should go out of business or get some qualified people to work in such an important role in our kids lives.
