"At enrollment in February, we were told updates would be made to the room's. No changes have been made. The rooms and toys appear dirty and always emit a strong odor. There is no teacher dress code -- some arrive in sweatpants. There is a huge dip in the ground near playground equipment that could cause a child serious injury. During a fire alarm it did not appear there any procedures were appropriately followed and parents were met at the door by an employee would could not give any direction or information about children's whereabouts. Lynn constantly has a negative attitude and rarely greets parents when they walk in creating an uncomfortable environment."
"I really love this place! I love how the children are always respectful and sweet upon pick up and drop off. I love how kind and warm my daughter’s teachers are. I love the friendly staff who I have daily chats with. Everyone is sweet and makes me feel comfortable and have confidence in where I’m leaving my child for 5 hours a day! Great over all."
"My child is happy and healthy and always smiling when coming home"
"The staff is lovely. Friendly folks whom I am comfortable leaving my child with."
"I had such a good experience at the twins previous school and I was worried I made the wrong decision based on the free UPK. However, Tutor Time has far surpassed my expectations. My kids are so happy and really seem to love their friends and teachers. No complaints or regrets here."
"We love Tutor Time and all of the staff. We are sad to leave, but feel very prepared for Kindergarten."
"Love this school and will miss it when we head off to kindergarten. Staff is friendly. Environment is safe and my child does and amazing amount of learning!"
"We love the staff. My daughter Rachel has had a great experience with no issues. My son Justin has been bitten 4 times in one school year and his class has gad zero consistency."
"Amazing school. They take great care of my son and I have full confidence in his teachers."
"When we put our son in another school we did not feel it offered the supporting and collaborative environment the team at Tutor Time has. Our son had begun to regress and did not enjoy school. He has been back at Tutor Time for almost a month and we can see him thriving both academically and socially. The communication with his teachers and the directors feels like we are a team in supporting his needs in every aspect."
"The only issue is long nap time"
"There is a good director who is doing her best and jumps in to help with childcare. The main teachers in my children’s classes have been great when we get to see each other. However the assistant/floating staff could use more training and involvement with the children in the class. I have seen when some assistants/floaters are just sitting there even when a child hits another child. The main teacher is occupied doing a needed responsibility so the assistant/ floating staff should be more hands on with the care of the children. But the main teacher is left to address the aftermath."
"Mrs Durpattie is amazing as well as the other teachers in our son’s classroom- our son and we love them. She is so caring. Susan the director is very involved and amazing as well. The whole front desk staff and everyone we have encountered are great"
"The school has so much potential but it worries me to see so much turn over and nothing changing for the better."
"We are very pleased with how our child has developed over the past year and a half at Tutor Time East Rockaway. The love, care and concern for our child is comforting. We look forward to seeing our child continue to grow and learn with Tutor Time."
