Our son has been attending Push My Swing for 8 months. He is 2+ years in age. We are very happy with the care that he receives. Push My Swing is a cozy place with caring childcare providers. It is friendly, relaxed and flexible. The children who attend are happy and comfortable in their surroundings. Our son's vocabulary has excelled since attending. He arrives home singing songs and recognizes books that he has been introduced to. He knows all the names of his fellow classmates, is very social and adores the women who look after him. Push My Swing may not be large, however it is very inviting. It has a lovely backyard where the children go and play twice a day. They have a swing set, play cars and a slide. This was a big selling point for us. In the sumer they have a sprinkler. As do other daycare facilities, Push My Swing has a schedule of events that the children participate in every day. They have a routine that includes free time play, story time, circle time, outside play, arts and crafts, nap and meal time. I should add that they provide lunch and snacks. Push My Swing is affordable, lower in cost then most other day cares in the New York area, but that is not it's biggest asset. Once again, we are very pleased and would recommend Push My Swing for any one searching for a safe and nurturing environment.
Pros: Cozy, nurturing, outside space and value.
Cons: No complaints

I am curious as to why the extreme feelings about this daycare. The place got 3 consecutively poor reviews and then was bombarded with favorable ones. I hope that the situation has truly changed and that it is not a campaign taken upon by the parents on behest of the place. Of course those of you who have not witnessed yelling of the children will probably not, simply because anyone taking care of your valued child would just not behave that way in front of a parent. PUSH MY SWING/PUSH MY BUTTONS hopefully has examined and changed their discipline policy. and yes children do have fun when they are together, and children are forgiving, they want to believe that the person caring for them really cares for them. I know that it is hard to afford childcare and some mentioned that PUSH is affordable. That is a plus. If anything I am glad that the issue of safety and appropriate care has been put on the table. I am glad you as parents have gotten together and created meaningful dialogue around your child's quality of life in their "home" away from home. Be on the lookout for choking hazzards, cleaning chemicals within reach of the children, unsafe toys, ask for new books , ask for better art supplies, puzzles, open ended building blocks to fuel your child's imagination. Ask that your child be given cups that they can actually hold without them collapsing in their little eager hands. Flimsy paper cups usually crumble and the liquid quota ends up on the floor or table then thats it for the day. Make sure the back area is safe.
Pros: "affordable childcare"
Cons: you get what you pay for
