  Review: Highly recommend this terrific school! The teachers are phenomenal--so caring, creative, and thoughtful about what each child needs. Their philosophy of crafting lessons around what the kids are showing interest in is such a cool and effective way to nurture the kids' natural enthusiasm and curiosity. They also have several extracurriculars throughout the week, exposing the kids to yoga, Spanish and music. They go outside every day, both in the backyard and to the park across the street, and are very play-focused. The facilities are bright, clean and inviting. We were extremely happy with our son's experience and loved being part of the Hudson's House community. Amenities: Has outdoor space, Has after-school options

  Review: Hudson’s House is all about the people. Teachers and administrators alike are caring, engaged, and wonderful with the kids. After spending a little less than a year in a standard daycare, our son entered Hudson’s House at age 2 and has flourished there. They are outside every day, weather permitting, to one of our many local parks or in the small backyard at the school. They also take little field trips that are led by the kids’ curiosities. They wanted to start a donut shop in the classroom this year, so they went to Dunkin’ Donuts to observe operations lol. (They did open a pretend donut shop and all the parents got to come in and “buy” a donut and it was adorable.) Our son has made so many friends (and we have made some great parent friends too!) and he is always excited to spend his mornings at school. Communication is outstanding, both in-person and through the app that they utilize. They hold regular conferences with parents and will take the initiative to reach out if they notice something that they think warrants more attention. They have yoga, music, and Spanish language classes once per week and offer a summer camp for the whole month of July. In the fall, Ashley does a potty training workshop. They also started a separate room just for 2’s this year. They have multiple day length options- drop off is between 8 and 8:30 and you can pick up at 12:30, 3-4 or 5. It’s not cheap, but it is completely reasonable for the neighborhood and for the quality of the program and facilities. We didn’t get a 3k spot and weren’t even sad about it because we get to spend another year in this magical place. We will cherish every second! Amenities: Has outdoor space, Has after-school options, Has early morning hours What would you change about the program, if anything, and why? Not a thing.

  I don’t have experience with Rory’s Room, but my son currently attends Hudson’s House (one of the sister locations) and we love it. The director Ashley is very dedicated and has curated a learning environment that all the kids subscribe to. I imagine she sees to it that all the locations are run similarly. This is the 4th daycare environment we’ve been in (Bright Horizons for early childcare, Brooklyn Preschool of Science for summer camp, and Who’s on First last spring) and this is by far the best run organization I’ve seen. My favorite thing that they do is give real time updates of the kids with photos and videos through an app throughout the day rather than a report at the end of the day (which the other schools did, and which I often found were incomplete and didn’t give me a true picture of what my sons day was like) and the teacher takes their time at pick up and drop off to provide updates on how the kids are doing.
