Bambi Child Care

I sent my son to Bambi for two years. From 18 months to 3.5. I could not be happier with the quality of absolutely everything about Bambi. Immaculately clean, incredibly organized, unbelievably friendly and a truly incredible atmosphere for a child to grow in. After looking at almost every day care option in Park Slope, I was dismayed and discouraged with the whole process… the application process, the waiting lists, the unreal expense. I discovered Bambi and felt so lucky that I could get my son into such a great place. I can honestly say that my everyday experience with the staff was excellent. They filled me in on all of my son’s activities, who his buddies were, what he was learning about, what he ate, etc… I loved my experience with this place.

My daughter has been at Bambi for over two years – and she loves it. The staff is dedicated, the facilities are clean and engaging, there is outdoor space. The staff and proprietor are *very* accessible and accommodating (contrary to the 2013 review below).

My 18-​month-​old daughter has attended Bambi for the last year and we couldn’t be more pleased with them. We switched from another daycare she attended as an infant and are glad we made the decision to do so. The staff is warm and caring, and are even helping us to potty train at an early age because we are expecting baby No. 2. My daughter is actually quite shy and slow to warm up to new people, but she now springs out of my arms to the main caregiver there each morning. They were really helpful easing her into the transition of a new place with new kids and routines.
The kids enjoy plenty of activities from reading to Play-​Doh. I also love the fact that they have an outdoor yard, unlike our previous daycare, so she gets plenty of fresh air when the weather is nice. One of my favorite aspects of Bambi is that they are really flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and the individual child. I really feel great about leaving my little girl there each day.
I’m not sure why the other reviewers are leaving reviews of a place they’ve never attended. It’s frustrating but actually quite common that Brooklyn day cares are inundated with requests and never return your calls/​emails. I know — I tried at least half a dozen day cares when our daughter was born. One of them got back to me a year later saying they had an opening! So don’t go there.

Last year I was looking for a Day care for my 2 years old and sent a e-​mail for them and never ever received a return.
So, I decided to go there and try my luck knocking the door. Guess what? They opened the door because they thought I was a person with an appointment.
I was told they were without spots for new childrens, but I could leave my informations in a long waiting list.
I think they can attend 15 children or less, and they probably won’t have spot for a long time.
Besides, all there i could see is the place looks nice and they have a lot of little babys. I think it’s not a good place for a 2 years old that needs interaction with children in the same age.
The staff seems nice with the children, based just in the small time I was there.
You need to be persistent to find a spot in a good day care. Good Luck for all! It’s not a easy work.

Their website says to email or call to inquire about their availability. Well I emailed and have left three detailed messages asking if they have any openings and the NEVER had the decency to even call back! What kind of daycare does this!!! Talk about poor customer service. No matter how many times I’ve tried to call to inquire, the voicemail picks up, I leave a message and they simply never call back.
