Director's Comments
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
Our classes meet in a cheerful and friendly environment that fosters learning and creative expression. In our program we utilize an extensive supply of early childhood toys and games. Chai Tots gives your children the experience that they will need to expand their imagination as well as develop their motor skills. The children will grow in awareness of the changing seasons, elements of nature, the five senses as well as exciting scientific experiments.
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
If you are not Jewish, this might not be the right school for you. If you are, don't be afraid that religious aspects are too strong. They are very hands off in this regard. This was the most caring and nurturing environment we could think of for our children (each of whom spent three years here, our daughter is in her third) and we have never doubted that we made the absolute right decision.
Parent #2
The greatest strength of this school is the loving involvement of its teachers. The small class size enables them to focus attention on all of the kids: the gifted, the struggling, and the median ones. The curriculum is well thought out and executed, but always done in a spirit of play.
Parent #3
I think this is a great school though it is very religious. The director is very nice and experienced though some teachers seem very young.
