My son Nathaniel ABSOLUTELY LOVED being in this school. We unfortunately moved and he did not get to attend for 2025/2026 school year but he still asks to go Big Bird every morning. His teachers Ms Louise and Ms Virginia were amazing with him and I'm so sad he did not get to spend another year there. He definitely felt safe and comfortable to learn through play. He was excited to go everyday. The teachers were so helpful and informative to me with his day to day activities and his many moods. I'm so thankful for everything they did for him in his short time there. You definitely left a mark on him that he has not forgotten.
I DON'T HAVE KIDS THERE The Drop off/ pick up on RIchmond Ave. is hectic, I was on the road behind a pick up truck and the Big Bird's Playhouse driver in their van with kids in the van, wanted to pull out into traffic, they hadn't even put on their directional yet and they rolled down their window and cursed at the driver in the lane. Yikes, they have to be more controlled with children in the mix.
The staff is always warm, welcoming, and so attentive to every detail. I feel confident knowing our baby is in safe hands.” I love how they take time to update us with photos and details of our baby’s day.” I highly recommend Big Bird Playhouse to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching place for their child.”
If you love your child you won’t send them here. Worse staff , they make up excuses saying your child is sick when they don’t want to deal with your child’s emotions. they are actually not licensed teachers only the owner is . Do your research and steer clear . They have many violations through the doe. Other very disturbing things happen here with my child . You want to see what really happens in there put a camera in your child’s.bag, you will see everything . I pulled my kid out along with 16 other moms . Don’t make the same mistake I did .. btw if your son is delayed they will make you get services or you get thrown out . They don’t communicate anything and if you ask about your child they will say they r too busy ! This is the worst school in all of New York !!!!
My daughter is attending to this facility for over a year. She is now on pre-k3 with Mrs. Santoro and Ms. Gigi they have always be respectful and helpful with us. And they are always nice and sweet. My daughter loves them, that on weekends she even grab her bag and says that she is going to Ms. Gigi and the teacher. On top of that I have to said that based on previous experiences with my others kids they are very well prepare to guide our kids for the next step. I have no complain on them or the rest of the staff.
