Well organized, down to earth and knows the kids. The teachers are really loving, caring and the kids learn A LOT!! While having fun. I love that they have an outdoor area on premises so the kids do not need to leave the property, and that breakfast, lunch and snacks are included. Having early drop off and after school was very important to us, so we were glad to have this available. They also run a summer camp for the summer months, And i love that they have water play and picnic days. I highly recommend New Milestone and will be sad to leave for Kindergarten.

Both of my children attend Carrig Montessori. I am a public school teacher myself, and the…read moreteachers at Carrig are the best I have ever seen. Everything there is done so thoughtfully and purposefully. Just an example: new kids are phrased in one at a time so each child feels maximally special on their first day. My son started class in the fall knowing his letters, and in two months he's now proudly reading books to me. My daughter never willingly left me for any reason, but she loves to go to school and waves happily to me each morning. They come home each Friday with the work they have done and are so proud to show it to me. They talk to me about things I had no idea they knew. A big part of Montessori education is the kids making their own choices of what work to do, and I'm really enjoying how much more independent and self sufficient my children have become. The parent teacher conferences are amazing. After my scheduled classroom observation, two teachers met with me for *an hour and a half* conference in which they describe my children's relationship to themselves, their peers, their teachers, physical space, all the different subjects (practical life, language, math, etc). I learned so much. A few very specific examples: they noticed that my 3 yo daughter's Vs sound like Ws and are working with her in the movable alphabet to see if its a problem hearing or expressing the sound. They notice my son gets distracted 75% of the way through a work and they check in with him to give him the final push to complete his work. They talked to me for five minutes about my son's understanding of different vowel sounds. I don't think that level of detailed perception and follow through happens at any other preschool (any school anywhere?) Before Carrig, my kids had been in 4 other preschools and 1 elementary, so I have some basis for comparison. Carrig is truly a one in a billion school. Christine Carrig is committed to running a school that is excellent in every detail. Even if it is geographically less convenient for you, you should think about sending your child there because it's your kid and it's really worth it. PS I also really like that they are on Cooper Park and can use it for recess. A lot of preschools have to use a playground near a highway, which I feel is a real health issue.

It means so much to me knowing my son feels safe, happy, and loved when he's with her. Ms Kimberly, and Ms Elizabeth have also been incredible with Camila . They treat my children with so much love and care, and that gives me so much peace of mind every day. As a parent, there's nothing more reassuring than dropping your kids off knowing they're with people who genuinely care about them. I'm so thankful for everything these teachers do, and I truly appreciate the love, patience, and dedication they show every single day. We Enrolled them back in April and have noticed such a positive impact in them and for that my family is so grateful for all of you.

TLE Battery Park has met our expectations and more! To start, the staff is absolutely amazing. Jessica, Rene and Samantha are always very helpful, warm and extremely responsive. You feel that they love and care about what they do and have so much love for the children and other staff members. Our son graduated from TLE in May and has made lifelong memories and friends. The curriculum is great, and he got accepted into one of preferred schools. We also enrolled our daughter when she was six months old. She loves all of her teachers and friends. We feel like the level of love and attention that they give the LOs is more than we could have hoped for. She is now 2 and is learning so much! I would 100% recommend TLE to anyone!

The River School exceeded our expectations in every way. We have seen our daughter grow and develop tremendously during her time at the school. She is very excited about going to school each day - we constantly hear about the teachers, the other students and her friends, and the activities they do. Most importantly, the teachers have all been incredible. Our daughter has been in two classrooms during her time at the school and all of her teachers have been wonderful. The Bright Horizons administration and app are terrific and make life easy for everyone! The daily notes detailing eating/bathroom time/activities are so helpful, and the pictures/videos are something we look forward to seeing every day. Heather, Alana and every person we've interacted with at the River School are all true professionals that care deeply. We are sad to move from NYC; we know that The River School will be one of the biggest elements of our lives that we will miss. We are forever grateful for the time that our daughter has had at this fantastic school!

I was very nervous about my 3 year old, who wasn't potty trained and had a speech delay. Marilyn was so patient with him and helped him progress much faster than I could have hoped for.

PSA's devoted teachers supported my children throughout a rigorous academic program that included science, math, American Sign Language, social studies and fine arts. Having completed two years at PSA, my children will enter kindergarten this fall knowing they have accomplished developmentally appropriate but challenging tasks. In addition to ensuring that students achieve academic milestones, PSA teaches children to be worldly citizens and considerate members of the community. Their students are aware of a great big world behind their town but they appreciate the opportunities and worth within reach. Procedurally, PSA is an efficient business that effectively handles business matters. Its school policies are reasonable and we appreciated their efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of its students, teachers and staff. PSA and its community of students, parents, teachers and administrators will always be a part of our lives. When I cried at graduation (truth), they were tears of joy that my children were thriving and simply, growing up. But they were also tears of appreciation and gratitude for PSA. Our entire family is prepared for kindergarten and beyond!
