Founded by two Latina sisters and educators, Lola & Kids was born out of a need for afterschool care that reflects the rich, cultural experiences of our communities.
Irma CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place is heaven for female entrepreneurs and moms like me: co-working downstairs, daycare upstairs. Owned by two Latina sisters, everyone here is bilingual and will be teaching your child some español. The staff is attentive and caring to the children, thoughtful, and full if heart. It’s always great to know I can step in and see my little one whenever I want. The coffee in the co-working doesn’t hurt either. Don’t wait — come and support this business as soon as possible. Your little one will thank you! Eliza STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just love this place so much! My childcare situation this summer was complicated, and my work hours were flexible but I needed to somehow take care of my kid at the same time. I was thrilled to find Lola & Tots for my 2-year-old. The owners, Natalie and Jessenia, are warm and lovely and clearly care so much for the kids who come into their space. All of the teachers are fantastic and engaging. It never feels like there are too many kids at once, and the morning operates with a light routine/curriculum that my son loves. His favorite part of the day is the activity they always do. The coworking space in the basement has everything you need, plenty of space/desks and two soundproofed phone booths, plus coffee and a massive printer. It’s allowed me to get a lot of work done this summer and have a normal-feeling routine, and I also feel like my son is now well-prepared for preschool in the fall. Thank you Lola family! Neeharika BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter has been a tot at Lola & Tots for the last 6 moths from when she was only 10 months old. I can't help but hold high standards of care for her and at Lola, I feel at ease because of the love that owners Jessenia & Natalie pour into their business and the children at Lola. They hire only the best, keep the children engaged with fun activities and books, and can somehow put my daughter down for naps 10x faster than me ><. They give me a flexibility with care that I haven't found anywhere else. I'm grateful for the community my daughter and I have found in Lola & Tots, thank you! Alejandro RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Every conscientious remote working parent in Crown Heights/BedStuy needs to know about this place. Beautiful concept in a warm, lovely space with caring, happy staff. Thank you! Flora STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lola&Tots put together a wonderful 3rd birthday for our daughter. They made it all a very stress-free and fun experience for us and all our guests. The decor, space and activities, and most of all the free-flowing approach for the kids, was just perfect. What a fantastic team! Charlotte CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A perfect place for parents to get work done, while kids have fun and learn in an engaging, safe, supportive and creative environments. The place is very clean, has everything you need and is run by the most genuine, friendly group of people. Hannah JTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've gotten more work done in the past three days at Lola & Tots than I typically do in a month, plus I get to take breaks and see my 15-month-old whenever I want! I work from home part time and make my own hours, and since my baby was born my wife and I have been trying to find a work routine that still allows us to spend lots of time with him. Lola & Tots is the perfect solution for us. The workspace is beautiful. Everyone on staff is so great with my child. He has a blast here. When it's time for his nap, I bring him down into an office, turn out the lights, nurse him to sleep the same way I do at home, then keep working while he naps on the floor next to me. This is a revolutionary model of co-working and childcare and my family is so grateful for Lola & Tots! Hossannah ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lola and Tots’ new childcare AND coworking space is brilliant. I needed to work and someone to help with my 3 yo so I tried out their new offer. It’s exactly what parents need when WFH also includes a work day full of kid interruptions. I haven’t gotten as much work done as I have that day at Lola’s and I knew my kid was having a great time from the muted laughter coming from the upstairs play space. Highly recommend for any working parent. Diana OTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I hosted our daughter's 4th birthday Encanto themed party and I wish we could relive it! The gorgeous, modern space is super inviting with enough space and toys to keep our little guests entertained. I'm a fan of natural light and the space feels airy and bright. The Lola and Tots team was so attentive and friendly and they even wore flowery shirts to go with our encanto theme. They had ample supplies and decorations for us, so anything I brought was extra. The music entertainment add-on was fantastic, adults and kids enjoyed it alike. A bunch of parents commented on how much of a good time their kids had. Bonus- there are grocery stores and general stores within the block, so you can easily grab anything you need without hauling things from home. Saturday street parking was sufficient and it's a block from the train station. Overall amazing and would 110% recommend. Johanna KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love taking my daughters here! Awesome vibe and fun toys! 🙂
