Kandelaki Family Daycare, Brooklyn NY

We’ve had a wonderful experience at Kandelaki Family Daycare. Our daughter attended from 7 months to nearly 3.5 years old. Viktoriya and staff have been lovely, easy to communicate with especially through daily photos and videos of their indoor and outdoor activities, music and daily arts and crafts! She loves to sing, dance, count, and knows her alphabet. We’re comforted in knowing she eats well balanced snacks and meals. It means something when she runs into daycare and needs to be reminded to say goodbye to momma. It’s with mixed emotions that I write this as her final day will be tomorrow. She will miss her friends and all staff at Kandelaki!

We had the best possible experience at Kandelaki from the time my daughter was 5 months old to 2 years. She was loved, supported and engaged every day. Viktoriya and her staff are the warmest people, it was a second home for us. They made great, healthy food, have a structured program with outside time and art projects every day and music class. I was always impressed when she came home and had learned something new - alphabet, counting, shapes, colors. Sadly we moved from the neighborhood and the hardest part about it was leaving daycare. If you have the chance to send your child, run, don’t walk!

This daycare has been such a warm and supportive environment for my daughter. I was so nervous to send her to daycare but Viktoriya and the teachers put me at ease with both their actions and their words. They are wonderful people at this school and we are so thankful to have them caring for our daughter.

This daycare is a true gem. Most importantly, the staff is simply incredible. My daughter thrived through each transition with the love and support of the amazing staff - they are so wonderful with both babies and toddlers! Kandelaki provided homemade meals daily, laundered her crib sheets, and celebrated every major milestone. Her first birthday was a festive celebration and her last day was a bittersweet beautiful "graduation". They communicate throughout the day via a user-friendly app that informed me when/what she ate, how she slept, and priceless daily photos and videos that captured her day. Even though she's in school now, we still go back and look at the photos and videos of her and her daycare friends. I can't recommend Kandelaki enough! Such a special place.
