I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I wanted to love this school but it has no values. The head of the school is so traditional and unable to keep up with the times. There’s no space for DEI, but if you want to bribe the head of the school to lie on your kids evaluation for kindergarten, then this is the place for you. They also treat their teachers very poorly, with no HR department to look out for their best interest. If you’re a parent from the 1950s, this would be a good spot for you. If you’re a modern city parent who wants the best values and morals started early for your child, this is not the right place for you.

About the Provider

Advertisement
Our primary objective is to provide a warm, responsive, and supportive atmosphere for each child to begin his social and academic journey through life. It is our belief that a child’s first school experience should be his strongest in terms of trust and security in his teachers and surroundings. Our caring and relaxed approach provides each child with a positive foundation enabling him to cope with a wide variety of future educational environments and pressures. We want children to leave the Play Group with strong self-esteem and a feeling of confidence and enthusiasm for learning.

We accommodate each child in the Play Group as totally unique in his emotional needs, group adaptation capabilities, and skills readiness. Rudimentary socialization skills are an important emphasis in our program, but not at the expense of the child’s sense of self or overall happiness. Individual differences and “stages” are quickly perceived and respected. Our program and facilities provide a rich environment for learning and growth. A wide variety of activities and materials encourage the child’s emotional, intellectual, social and physical development. Individual and group projects spark curiosity and stimulate the children to observe, experiment freely, become problem solvers, and acquire basic skills without the fear of failure.
