do not send your kids here they do not place children in the appropriate levels of your kids needs my child was here for 3 months and I had to pull her out she was so miserable here ever since I pulled her out shes happy and doing much better.
The following response is based on opinions only and is considered a short description of experiences...The Universal Prekindergaten INCLUSION Program at DDI in Ronkonkoma is in need of much improvement.
The 1 teacher and 1 assistant teacher ratio in regards to a group of 12 inclusion students is often unproductive.
This is because, at DDI the special education students are not always appropriately placed in the most beneficial class due to a lack of written documentation and lack of behavior plans - as it usually comes down to needing to use money and resources.
No simple routines and learning will take place in such classrooms ...rather the two educators spend their time looking miserable and just trying to control the outbursts. Teachers often need to be shadowing students who actually would benefit from a one on one aide.
Ask yourself...why should my typical child CONSTANTLY witness the special education students scream, not follow rules, physically and verbally be inappropriate to your child and the teachers etc...Obviously, all the things taught at home will then feel like a waste of time because of what takes place in this so called-benefical Inclusion environment.
Be aware, and educate yourself of what a true learning environment should be from the Start of your child's pre-k experiences, as you get one shot at it.
I fell in love with this school as soon as I walked in for my tour! The school is so organized, clean, and safe. The classrooms have the best student to teacher ratio, I believe.
