Parents' Comments

Parent #1
This school is great! I love the warm environment. The teachers are very polite and helpful. My son really enjoys to be in the school, learning and developing his skills and creativity. We love Pattycake Playhouse II

The school is very clean and has wonderful teachers that work hard to meet the needs of all its children; it is a little expensive as far as preschools go, but it is definately worth the cost.

I have no clue what the other parent that reviewed this school was seeing because Pattycake's facilities are the newest, most modern, and by far most clean of any daycare my husband and I visited. Our child has been there since he was 4 months old and now he is almost 3 years. We receive daily sheet on our child's activities, they conduct parent teacher conferences regularly and even have training for the parents from time to time! I usually don't even comment on these sites just place my rating, but the review I read was so inaccurate. We use the NY state OCFS website to help us weed out bad schools and Pattycake was one of few schools with NO violations during any state inspections, which the state assured me are "random and spontaneous" inspections of the facilities. We are pregnant again, and I don't even have to think about looking elsewhere for my next child's care. This school is not just a daycare, it teaches the children skills and tools to be advanced by the time they go to Kindergarten. I would say if you are looking for a strictly drop off for your kids and just want them to be supervised and run a muck, Pattycake isn't the place. If you want them to learn in a structured daily setting, and you the parent want to feel included in their development, than Pattycake is the place for you!

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
