Welcome to your child's home away from home!

 Since 1998, Little Forest People ("LFP") has been a locally-owned business, providing outstanding care for children, infants (starting to walk) to 4 years old. As a community-based facility, we believe our group family daycare is an essential component of the Glendale, Queens neighborhood.​

As a first-time mom, I was very nervous about finding the right daycare for my 15-month-old. Little Forest People has given me so much peace of mind from day one. The teachers treat my son like family, and I can see how much love and care they give every child. He has grown so much here—more confident, social, and curious. He’s discovered a love for music, made friends, and even gets to spend time outdoors at Forest Park, which is amazing for his development. I’m so grateful to Ms.Nilda and her team for everything they do with such dedication and heart!

Our family has been blessed to have our son at Little forest People for almost two years now, and words truly fall short in expressing how grateful we are. From the very beginning, the entire staff welcomed us with warmth, care, and genuine love for our little one. Over these past two years, we’ve watched our son grow, learn, and flourish in ways we could have only hoped for. The care, patience, and dedication shown by Miss Nilda , Miss Joanna and Miss Ashely we will never forget. They have not only nurtured his mind but also his heart teaching him how to share, communicate, be kind, and believe in himself. What we appreciate most is how Little forest People feels like an extension of our family. It’s comforting as parents to know that while we’re away, our son is in a place where he’s loved, safe, and supported every single day. Thank you, Miss Nilda and team , for the incredible impact you’ve had on our son’s early years. You’ve helped lay a beautiful foundation for his future, and for that, we are forever grateful. With all our appreciation, — The Castillo Family

Amazing care and very professional. I have seen such a growth in my daughter in time that she has spent there. They are very structured and run like a school. I felt comfortable leaving her in their hands, and they communicate very effectively. Can’t recommend this place enough.

I just wanted to express my sincerest gratitude on how Ms. Nilda and the rest of the staff has cared for my daughter these past 2 years. My daughter entered when she was 18 months old and had enjoyed every passing day. My husband and I would get such a kick out hearing my daughter say, she wanted to go to school (LFP) on a Saturday! We would have to explain that Ms. Nilda and the others weren’t working. It made her a little sad… My daughter learned a lot at LFP. They kept me updated on all activities. They taught and encouraged my daughter to be independent (for example, eat on her own, wash her hands and be responsible by picking up after herself amongst other things). Everyone always greeted each child with a big smile. Not only was the environment welcoming, friendly and clean, we always felt like we were leaving our daughter with family. Ms. Nilda always went above and beyond to demonstrate how much she cared for each child and provided a safe environment for all. Unfortunately, we have to leave since my husband’s job is relocating us to another state. I can only pray we will be able to find a trustworthy and reliable program as LFP. We are so grateful to Ms. Nilda and her entire staff - please know we will truly miss the service and care given here.

Highly recommend Ms Nilda and her team. My daughter had the greatest time here and was helped with potty training. She was always eager to go in. They do lots of fun activities with the kids like water day when the weather gets nicer, arts and crafts. This is a small daycare but you can tell that Ms Nilda is very loving and caring towards the children.

My experience and my son experience here was really good, this daycare have many rules and that made me feel confident that they know what they are doing and they do a great job, unfortunately my son was not accepted permanently cuz all the spots where taken, but I can say that I really like the communication they have with the parents and the daycare is beautiful and well take care of, I wish my boy could have stay there.

This is the best daycare you will ever find! Instantly felt comfortable and at ease during our tour. The space is clean and well kept. Ms Nilda is very organized and informative. She communicates well about day to day events. Nothing happened to my child that I didn’t know about and I appreciated that very much. We love her and we loved it there. The price was fair for the hours our child spent there (with meals provided). Would highly recommend!
