San Jose Day Nursery

I called this daycare to inquire about enrollment for my daughter. Some women pick up the phone and I quote «what do you want!» I was taken back. I had to ask her if I dail the right number, and is this a daycare she replied yes what do you want. I was shocked by her blunt rude attitude. I asked her for her name, she told me she can’t give me her name and don’t speak english. I just wanted information cause their Unilocal reviews amazed me, but the conversation I had with this woman gave me a change of heart.

This is my daughters second year at San Jose Day Nursery and one of the best decision we ever made. All the teachers are caring, loving, and nurturing. It is indeed a very happy, clean, and joyful environment for children and parents. It is a hidden treasure in the middle of Chelsea.

I would give 6 stars to this school if I could! My son goes there and we love the school! The nuns and staff are very friendly and patient, and the teachers are competent and professional. Class size is small. Kids are well behaving and the neighborhood is lovely!!!

This is a great school! My son is enrolled here, and the teachers are all lovely, as are the nuns. They are a traditional school, which they will tell you plainly, and do not have the structures in place to care for children with any special needs. So I think the bad review below is a bit unfair.
Their trike-​a-​thon fundraisers for St. Jude Children’s Hospital are quite fun and very indicative of how they’re aligned, values-​wise, if that’s important to you. The families are also quite diverse — a number of expat families (French, Spanish, Portugese) as well as minorities currently living in Chelsea and areas as far away as Brooklyn. They have a private playground in their courtyard, and snacks and meals are provided. My son comes home very happy, and is always very excited to go to school. Highly recommend!

My daughter attended this school for 2 years. It is a wonderful school run by nuns. The teachers are wonderful and very nurturing. The Pre-​K program is a blend of Pre-​K and Kindergarten. My daughter left this school with excellent social skills, excellent reading and writing skills, good morals/​values. Their hours and very convenient for working parents and they provide a warm breakfast, hot lunch and an afternoon snack. Very clean facilities. All I can say from personal experience is that I highly recommend this nursery/​pre-​k school

We love this school. The teachers are sweet and very nurturing. The wonderful nuns are kind and really caring. As the review noted, they are small and traditional and don’t have services for special needs kids. I believe they were being honest with the mother. A shame she felt the need to blame the school. My kids all learned to read before graduating Pre-​K. For the price, hot meals, two snacks, small class size, big rooms, outdoor playground and traditional teaching, we were very very happy. A real gem in Chelsea.

Old school, run by nuns, but the friendly kind!

My children have attended the nursery to K and SanJose Nursery is as loving and caring as they can be, plus great enviroment.
