What Families Are Saying
"We put our daughter on the Amores waitlist before she was born — and it was absolutely worth it. The teachers know her personality, her rhythms, everything. I've never dropped her off without feeling completely at peace."
"As a two-working-parent household in the Financial District, finding Amores was a game changer. The 7:30am open and 6pm close, plus Brightwheel updates — we feel connected all day even while we're in back-to-back meetings."
"My son came home after his first week at the preschool and started pouring his own water and setting the table. The hands-on learning is real — I was floored by how much he absorbed in just a few days."
A Day at Amores Daycare
Every day follows a gentle, predictable rhythm that gives children the security to explore, concentrate, and take meaningful risks.
