Dr. Williams is the absolute best she couldn’t have made the process and transition any easier. My daughter loves attending. She’s an only child so we couldn’t have made a better decision. She’s making new friends and feels safe. All a mom wants!

3D is an exceptional program that caters to the needs of children from all backgrounds. My children benefit from the social emotional activities and cultural enrichment programs. It is important to highlight the quality homework
assistance offered to all grades. It also helps to know that if I am running late, my kids are provided a hot meal for dinner. This program takes into account the needs of parents and children alike. I have been very pleased with this program and highly recommend it to parents looking for quality care for the little ones.

Working with 3D's is awesome! Had a great time partnering with their summer program. The campers are not only entertained, they are guided, and encouraged to become participating citizens of the planet. The entire team is super and work great together. At our studio, they not only learned karate but self defense, confidence and teamwork. Looking forward to our next collaboration!

3D's is a wonderful program that my daughter attends 3 days a week after school. Dr. Zoe and her skilled staff are caring and attentive, ensuring homework is top priority and that the children also have fun. 3D's was highly recommended to me through different parents in the community and I am so glad we made the choice to send our child there! She always has a smile on her face when we pick her up and we couldn't ask for a better experience.

What can I say about this amazing organization! The owner Dr. Zoe and her staff show up every day full of passion and ready to serve their community in whatever way they can. Going above and beyond comes easy for them as they thrive on seeing the children and their families be successful as a result of the services they provide. When you look at the photos and videos you can see the joy on the faces of the children, and it shows that they feel loved and cared for every day. I am grateful to have the opportunity to support all of their endeavors and look forward to the continued growth of 3Ds.

When I moved to the community I remember researching so many different afterschool programs for my daughter who was about 10 at the time. From the moment I met Dr. Zoe I knew my child was in good hands. She had a lot of fun at 3D and ended up attending the summer camp at their original location. During the pandemic 3D was also a safe place for my client to do remote schooling while stile being able to be around other children. Fast forward a few years later and my youngest is now attending the afterschool and camp. The children are making so many lifelong memories participating in all types of activities in a caring and safe affordable space. Thank you 3D! The Thompson girls!

One of my best experiences since moving to Baldwin this year. Thank you Dr. Zoe and staff for treating the kids like one of your own. I did a lot of research before choosing this wonderful program. My daughter never liked after school. She attended camp at 3D and now goes to 3D during her virtual days. She loves the program and all of the activities along with the food! :) Thank you 3D.

There is no doubt that Dr. Zoe and her team are great! I told Dr. Zoe I couldn't afford to keep my sons in aftercare a few months ago. She took action and found resources to help me. Her generosity and dedication to keeping my sons in 3Ds blew me away. It was a challenging year for my family and me, and 3D's was a welcoming and loving environment. There was always a sense of safety and excitement when my sons went. I sincerely thank Dr. Zoe and the rest of her team. In addition to running a tight ship, she provides quality service.

This was my daughter’s (Mia) first ever camp experience and she loved it. The camp counselors were amazing, loving and really cared about the kids. The trips were a lot of fun. My daughter cried when we had to miss one Friday at camp because of a family vacation. So we decided to delay a whole family trip by a day just so Mia wouldn’t miss camp. This just showed me how much she loved going camp. The delicious breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner was an added bonus so I didn’t have to worry about packing food for her. I highly recommend 3D’s you won’t be disappointed.

First and foremost Dr Zoe, thank you for all you do for our children! And thank you for choosing the right team to assist .

3Ds after care is an amazing place. I would say a very close knit family. You will not find a more compassionate, caring, loving group of staff. My children love it! I am never worried when my kids attend 3Ds. The entire community is cared for in a special way. Both my Kids (8) and (4) has learned and explore a lot . ( especially during summer camp) My kids are never bored! 3Ds keeps them busy!!! Never bored, they learn everyday. I have nothing but positive thoughts about 3Ds and I will continue to promote it whenever I can. I appreciate all the love and kindness . when we talk about being a blessing.. 3Ds has truly been a blessing.

Need child care. Look no further 3Ds Aftercare is the place to be…pull up!

Dr. Zoe has created such an incredible space for children to excel, learn, and grow. There is no place like 3 D’s and I can guarantee that children will benefit from the tremendous level of care, creativity, and love that Dr. Zoe and the amazing staff provide. I’m so proud of the work that has been accomplished to make 3 D’s a home away from home for so many kids and families.

My experience with 3Ds Aftercare Inc has been nothing but positive. This environment has allowed me to be creative and innovative when working with the kids, and this helped me establish great relationships with them, as well as other staff members. 3Ds is an amazing place for children to grow, learn about themselves, and learn about the world around them. Children are provided with a family style environment, and I think this is what makes this business so great. Dr. Zoe is truly dedicated and driven to make a difference in the lives of the children she works with.

Dr. Zoe and her team were fantastic. We had a great experience with the summer program and we plan to return next year.

My only complaint is not being informed when my daughter was hurt. I understand children play and will get hurt and I would like to know how it happened via email, phone call, or speaking to us about it when we pick her up.

Otherwise I would highly recommend 3Ds!!

This nonprofit organization has one of the best aftercare programs in Nassau County. They love, care, and treat each child with respect. They speak life into the children and let them know they can be anything they set their minds too. Education is one of their first priorities and social and emotional learning is right after; holding groups for the young girls and boys in the program to talk about things they otherwise probably would not speak about such as; bullying, honesty, loyalty, hygiene, and being a great friend. The program also has great hours of care open from 6:30 AM until the late evenings at 7 PM. Each child needs are met with gentle care and logic.

Three years ago I was in need of after school care for my daughter. I was new to Baldwin and nothing seemed feasible or academically attractive for what I needed. I discovered 3D’s at the 100th year library celebration. My daughter was amazed on our first visit and we both fell in love with what was offered. 3D’s prepares our children on how to survive by showing them how to cook, sew, iron, maintain their hair, finances and so much more. The safety of our children that’s provide, especially during the pandemic is amazing. The director Dr. Williams, go above and beyond for the families in assisting us any way that is needed. My daughter still attends the after school program and I would recommend 3D to any family in need of care.

I’m a parent that exactly one year ago was in great need of an after school for my daughter. The first day that we walked into 3D just to see the place my daughter never wanted to leave. They teach the children so much, like how to braid, iron, sew, cook dance, do yoga and now she’s equipped to teach them music. The list goes on and on about all that Dr. Zoe and her staff do for our children. Some of the things that I love the most is, the children eat dinner, they pray, say grace together and they respect one another. During this pandemic Dr. Zoe extended herself in keeping the center clean and ensured the safety of all the children. She continuously kept her business running for essential workers. As an essential worker and parent Dr. Zoe and her team made it very easy to not have to worry or stress about the safety of our children. I will say there are many after school programs in the neighborhood but not one quite like 3D. The owner, Dr. Zoe has a motto “be a rainbow in someone cloud” and up to this day that is exactly what she has been to me and my daughter. She always make sure everyone have even before herself. Recognition to Dr. Zoe, Love her and her staff.

With all that is going on in the world, we all yearn for childcare that provides the kind of care that dropping them off there feels the same as taking them to your families house.

As Director of Community Affairs, for the states 18th District I have been to several centers and they are all necessary for the communities they serve. Most of them have been great overall but 3D's aftercare provides a special experience for youth that's unmatched. Many kids get to go there to and spend hours experiencing music, art, and playtime with other youth and that is important during these difficult times. It is a beautiful place to come see and Dr. Z makes sure to teach everyone who enters it's doors the valuable lesson in taking pride in what we have. There is plenty offered there in the way of activities to keep young people mentally stimulated and engaged. It's exactly what our young people need more of and parents especially can appreciate that an aftercare center like 3Ds is available to them as well.

Non profits live and die based on the support they receive from Donors. I believe people give to causes that will best support the future wellness of people and its communities thus building a better world. This starts with children. 3Ds dedicates itself to the betterment and empowerment of children and even more importantly, children in underserved communities.

When my daughter passed away, 3Ds and the owner Dr. Zoe established a Scholarship in her honor. I didn't know how much that would mean to me at the time, but after 3 years, the impact the scholarship has meant to me and the recipients so far has been priceless. Dr. Zodelia is truly the empathic beating heart of an organization that truly looks out for the community and the children and families they are destined to serve. There's not enough space on this post to go into the other amazing work they do daily with providing a safe, predictable, and nurturing environment to children in their day care and various after-school programs - especially during such scary, unprecedented times.

3Ds is definitely a 5 star nonprofit that stands by its mission and values and touches the lives of so many people every day.

3Ds Aftercare is a place for adolescents and teens alike can learn about the world around them express themselves through the exchange of ideas to their peers in a safe place. They also learn how to create , develop and run actual businesses (entrepreneurial spirit). Through the leadership of Dr. Zodelia Williams 3Ds has grown in profile and stature in the local Baldwin community and in Nassau County at large. I am excited to see how 3Ds Aftercare will grow and continue to increase community engagement in the future.
