How this list is ordered
Homes with 5-star parent reviews and a current New York group family day care license come first. My Piccolo Mondo is 5.0 from 10 Google reviews. Maria’s Piccolo Mondo is listed next, a few blocks up the same street, with 5-star parent reviews.
Programs farther down have lower public ratings on Yelp. A star count is not a tour. Walk in on a weekday, watch the room, and match the address to the OCFS listing before you enroll.
Families in Pelham Bay, Throggs Neck, Spencer Estates, Schuylerville, Eastchester Bay, City Island, and Co-op City are usually a short drive from Ohm Avenue in 10465 — not a trip across the borough.
