While I worked there there was a nice sized chicken coop on on side of the playground. The playground was a good size as well. It was separated into two sections, one for the 4-5 year olds and a smaller one for the younger children. Which were 3-4. There was also a before and after program, which is good for the kids in elementary school.

Now, when you enter in, it's toys/clothes and other items for toddlers and teens, which they update every now and again which I like.

I'm not sure if they still do the activities for the kids though.

A Cautionary Tale for Educators: West Islip School District…read more Teaching in the West Islip School District is a valuable lesson in what happens when a union fails to stand up for its members. The teachers' union here is extremely weak and appears to bend to the will of administration rather than advocating for educators' rights and fair treatment. When conflicts arise, especially involving outspoken parents or overbearing administrators, teachers are left to fend for themselves rather than being protected by the union that is supposed to represent them. Even tenured teachers with a decade of strong evaluations and a record of dedication can find themselves placed on "teacher improvement plans" -- not because of poor performance, but because they were caught in the crossfire of political games, parental complaints, or power-hungry administrators. This creates an atmosphere of fear and distrust, where educators are afraid to speak up or innovate, knowing that even excellence offers no protection from arbitrary administrative decisions. West Islip should serve as a warning to teachers everywhere: a strong, independent union is the backbone of a healthy school environment. Without it, even the most committed educators can become targets of intimidation and burnout. Until this district rebuilds a culture of respect, fairness, and support for its teachers, West Islip is not a place where educators can thrive.
