A Beautiful preschool walking distance to the Hudson River. With a masters degree In Elementary education and 15years of teaching Early Childhood Education - 2, 3 and 4 year olds, I looked forward to this new opportunity. Poorly maintained by owner of building and super. Poor relationship between owner of building and Joanna owner of this preschool - which by the way is now named metrokids. Don't let the new name and branding fool you!!! In 2019, , Unsafe front door entrance, elevator consistently not working, check legalities/ infants on second floor . Challenging to get children safely out of Building God forbid there was an emergency. Also No cleaning staff to come In at night or on weekends for deep cleaning. Perhaps now with children returning to daycare the owner properly addressed issues and children have a state of the art preschool to return to in a 21st century Chelsea location. I doubt it though. Parents were paying 2000 a month. So I'll recap unsafe and unsanitary. The Director and teachers are the parents sounding board but ultimately owners responsibility. Also teachers - the true reason daycares and preschools survive- three wonderful teachers and a wonderful assistant teacher during my tenure there. When I say wonderful I mean educated kind intelligent and well maintained class rooms. One thank goodness has been called back after schools started opening again. It was challenging to be able to give good teachers and assistants raises because often raises were based on making sure a teacher had the "right" degree or coursework to merit the cheap pay raises. Across the board cheap raise once a year. My review is not based on"sour grapes". It's for "pulling back the curtain" for unsuspecting parents.

Wow, we had such a great experience at Preschool of America! They helped us out of a very serious…read moresituation, where our son's daycare closed suddenly. They took us in and were so considerate of our situation while we figured out our long-term solution. On the administrative side, Stephanie is a wonderful and responsible director. On the academic side, the teachers and students welcomed our son with warmth and made him feel at home, helping him to make a quick adjustment to the new environment. There were so many things that we loved about POA that our previous daycare didn't do. They send daily photos of what the kids are up to through a secure mobile app, so you feel more connected. They provide daily report cards for every student, listing out activities, learning progress and behavior. They use a lot of music and physical interactivity to enhance the learning process. Their catered lunches were also high quality and diverse. When we were researching daycare options, I recall reading a few bad comments which caused me some concern, so I really wanted to address the inaccurate comments in my review of POA. First of all, the environment is very clean and brightly lit, with children's artwork all over the place. Each room has windows allowing natural sunlight to come in. Most of the classrooms and gym are on the outer edge of the building with direct sun. Two of the classrooms for the very young children/babies were on the interior, but with windows facing the outside windows and direct views outside. The children at that age are still crawling or too small to see out the windows anyway. This seems to be a common practice, and was how our previous daycare was designed as well. When our previous daycare shut down, we learned a lot about the economics of what it takes to run a daycare versus what you pay. We tried getting together with 3 or 4 other families to share the cost of a private teacher, and traded off using our apartments to house them. However, it became clear very quickly that it would not only be much more expensive than daycare, but the learning environment wasn't nearly as good. The typical daycare costs of around two thousand dollars per month originally seemed like a lot to us as new parents, but if you do the math of how long they are watching your child, it breaks down to around $7.50 per hour. That's less than minimum wage, and when you factor in the lunches, diapers, activity supplies, etc that are included, there is no way you could ever match that. After a month, our previous daycare re-opened and is was an EXTREMELY difficult decision to make about which one to choose long-term. Ultimately, our son missed his friends too much, and the location at our previous place was a half mile closer, so we ended up going back. However, we also would have been quite happy to stay at POE as his permanent daycare. So to sum it up, we highly recommend Preschool of America!

Julia Fierro is incredibly inflexible with regards to her students needs after you've handed your…read morecheck over (but unsurprisingly quite nice ahead of time). Be warned! In my case, I registered ahead of time, paid the entire fee ahead of time, and only attended one session before I realized I would be unable to take the class due to work constraints. I asked Julia if it would be possible for me to receive (not even a full or partial refund) credit for a future class, and she blatantly refused in a righteous tone, stating that I had taken a seat away from another student, so I wouldn't be able to receive future credit. I was disappointed in the way Sackett handled the whole affair and its lack of respect for its customers. I can't speak to the actual experience of this workshop, but if there is any possibility of unforeseen events in your life requiring flexibility, know that you will get none from Sackett.

It literally changed my life. When I first signed up, I had never written a piece of fiction. Ever. Fast forward a couple years to now: I re-evaluated my life, quit my soul-crushing job, and enrolled full-time in a top-tier MFA program in the city (with a full ride and generous stipend to boot). I also know I'm not alone in this sentiment, and that positive experiences like mine vastly outnumber the negative ones posted here. Take a few concrete examples. At least three of the four students in my first workshop have since left steady paychecks for MFA programs (I didn't keep in touch with the fourth, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did, too). I also ran into another "classmate" from a different Sackett workshop at one MFA program's admitted students reception, where, not surprisingly, many other students had taken workshops with Sackett as well. What these anecdotes indicate is that the *students* in Sackett workshops are just as impressive as the instructors. They take creative writing seriously, give thoughtful and constructive feedback, and are damn talented. Any program can boast about faculty achievements, but few attract the caliber of student that SSWW does. If you're going to take a writing workshop in New York, take Sackett. Hands down. Then get the hell off the internet and start writing.
