Laurie's place is friendly, beautiful, in a great location and professionally run. Laurie and her Helpers were always accessible, the breakfast was delicious (one of the best orange juices i ever drank) and our almost two year old son had everything he needed, toys, a baby seat, a bed (we didn't use), and a beautiful garden. Park slope is a vidid neighborhood and the metro to Manhattan is just two blocks away. We had a great time.
