We are so happy we chose TopHat Early Learning for our daughter! She has only been in the Infant classroom for a short time, but we have already seen such a big difference. Thank you so much for all staff and special thanks for Ms. Lilia and Ms. Yani are amazing. They are so loving, patient, and caring. Our daughter has always been a very picky eater, but with their encouragement and care, she is now eating so much better. They also helped her get into a great nap routine, which has made a huge difference at home too. The Director, Hiru, is wonderful. She goes above & beyond for every family and is always involved in making sure the children are happy, safe, and well cared for. The center is always clean, the staff are friendly, and everyone makes us feel welcome. We have complete peace of mind knowing our daughter is in such good hands every day. Again thank you so much ☺️, I’m really happy 😊

We are so thankful for Ms. Katherine Campos, Ms. Celine, and Ms. Keshia. They have made such a positive impact on my daughter’s life. From the very beginning, they have shown her so much love, patience, care, and encouragement. My daughter truly loves her teachers and is always happy and excited to go to school. Thanks to their support and dedication, she has improved so much with her speech, become more social and confident, and learned how to follow rules and routines better every day. It means so much to us as parents to see her growing, learning, and feeling safe and loved in her classroom. We deeply appreciate everything they do and the kindness they show to all the children every day. They are truly amazing teachers, and we feel very blessed to have them in our daughter’s life.

Our child has been at TopHat for over a year and we are very happy with our experience there. He learns so much and his teachers really care about the kids. We also just love how much he gets to do during the day, and the socialization and friends that he’s made. Ms. Safa and Ms. Elizabeth are great teachers. We are having our second child soon and have no doubts about also having them at TopHat.

We love Tophat! Currently our youngest child is on toddler class with Ms Emily and Ms Starr and our tiny terror is thriving. Ms Emily works well with our child and is very prompt at responding to inquiries and helping curb our child less than desirable behaviors 🤩 we love Ms Emily and Ms Starr!

We absolutely love TopHat for our child’s early care and learning. We started at 6 months, and have developed greatly under the care of Ms. Marbely and the team of teachers. Great communication, daily updates, and progress reports. We can be considered helicopter parents, and we have no concerns leaving our child in the care of Ms. Marbely and team at TopHat.

Our daughter is currently in the infant room and loves her teachers Ms. Marbely and Ms. Lilia. Every morning we drop her off, she has a huge smile on her face. The app gives us constant updates and even pictures of her throughout the day. We are very happy with our choice in daycare.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with this daycare center. My son started attending when he was just 6 months old, and now at 1 year old, it’s been amazing to see how much he has grown and learned in such a short time. The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and patient. They truly take the time to understand each child’s needs and create a nurturing environment where children feel safe and supported. As a parent, that peace of mind means everything. I especially love that they incorporate learning into daily activities. My son is already being introduced to Spanish, along with art and music, which has been so exciting to see at such a young age. It’s clear that the center values early childhood development and creativity. Communication has also been great—they keep me updated on his day, his progress, and any important information, which I really appreciate. Overall, I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a loving, structured, and enriching environment for their child. It has truly made a positive impact on my son’s growth and development.
