Had a great experience at education station! Loved the infant room. Teachers are loving and caring and great student teacher ratios across the board. They have a lot of outdoor playtime and their outside space is great. Location excellent for commuting into the city. Highly recommend! Teachers and staff are all very loving and they create a really fun atmosphere for the children.

My children started at Education Station Daycare at 3 months old and we were extremely happy sending them. As infants the infant:teacher ratio is low and I love that the babies have a separate entrance to the school. As they grew older the teachers continued to be attentive and patient and provided a strong age-appropriate educational structure. I love the consistency in staff and that my kids (3 years apart) had the same teachers. Management is very responsive to inquiries and concerns and clearly cares about the well being of every student and teacher. 5 stars!
We LOVE the Education Station. Our 1 year-old has been attending for about 6 months. When we were looking for a daycare for him we liked the Education Station’s teacher-to-infant ratio, the fact that each class has a curriculum (even the infant room) and their comprehensive list of safety policies. When we started to take our son at 6 months old, he lit up when we walked in the door everyday and his teachers greeted him enthusiastically by name. As a parent you can stop by unannounced (with proper safety controls), and I was always so happy when I did to find the babies happily engaged in a song or play activity, with lots of teachers engaging and encouraging them. Each week there is a different theme and educational elements to support it, including a set of sign language words, books, songs, sensory activities, etc. The monthly curriculum is shared with parents so you can practice / support it at home. We LOVE - and our son loves - the infant room staff. (Ms. Lyn is the head teacher; she’s attentive, helpful, caring ️) There is also good communication between staff and parents, which was especially important to me as a first-time parent leaving my baby. We trust them, and that is by far the most valuable thing I can ask for in a daycare.
We love Education Station! We started our son here in the infant room at 5 months, and he’s currently in the toddler room at just over 2 years old. I’ll never forget the comfortable feeling that washed over me as I got to know the teachers and directors of the school, and saw how my son reacted to them. They are professional, but most importantly, they are nurturing and caring. We had to navigate some issues in our son’s first year as a result of him being premature, and they didn’t miss a beat. They helped us and assisted us in any way we needed to make sure he was doing well! Fast forward to now and our son SPRINTS to the door in the mornings, and loves his teachers, the directors and the owner. They care, they know their kids, and they are truly irreplaceable. We feel lucky to have found ES!
I chose Education Station for a number of reasons including proximity to my house and the train to NYC, great hours for working parents (6:30 closing), and the outside playgrounds. The most important factor in choosing this daycare was seeing how happy the children looked during my tours. Yes tours. This was the only daycare I visited where the owner encouraged me to show up unannounced to and ask for a tour. They also recommended interviewing parents during pick up. I came unannounced twice. The children and teachers were always smiling. Other parents with children already enrolled readily shared how happy they were with Education Station. I can't say that I had this experience showing up announced at other daycare centers. After a year of being at Education Station I had the opportunity to move my son to another daycare that I had been wait listed on (forever). I declined. The teachers are phenomenal. I look at my son and am amazed with how much he has learned and he loves \school\ and his \friends\. Fast forward and I have two children now at Education Station and I still couldn't be happier. It's not the cheapest daycare, but I truly believe you get what you pay for. Mr. Jay is the new owner. He has maintained the mission of Education Station and is always present and responsive. I truly believe he cares about the well being of my children. And the teachers, oh the teachers. Each time my child goes through a class I think there is no way that the next set of teacher will be as great as the last, but they are. From infant room to waddlers to preschool to galaxy the teachers all deserve accolades in their own right. They are some of the most kind, compassionate, patient, and loving people I have met and I am so grateful that they take such wonderful care of my children.
