Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I have been incredibly impressed with the curriculum at this school--particularly the four's curriculum. My child comes home every day bursting with enthusiasm about everything she/he learns. In addition, the administration is extremely accessible and acts quickly and decisively at the slightest sign of trouble. In fact, this year our class started out with a rocky first couple of weeks because the head teacher, who was new to the school, was out with a medical emergency. This could have been very detrimental to our kids during such an important school year. However, the school acted quickly to find an extraordinary replacement and the kids have had a phenomenal year academically-- also evidenced by their strong test scores and great emissions (the class includes one Hunter, one Anderson, one Brearly, two Ethical Cultures, one Nightingale, several Columbia Grammers, Cathedral, Claremont Prep, as well as a number of kids who got into their first choice G&T public programs.)
Parent #2
Overall - fantastic facilities, lots of specials, really prepares kids 'academically' for ongoing school, great staff, because it is a for profit school - is not so warm and fuzzy; a bit rigid about rules; a smaller, but annoying thing - need to improve on providing healthier snacks; overall a really excellent pre-school, good parent association/school seminars about ongoing school process.
