It feels like a well-rounded homeschool curriculum. The extracurricular activities are also incredible.

My absolute favorite thing is teaching with paper and pencils. No ipads, laptops, etc.

I'm always on the look out for services for my friends (and my daughters friends) that have small…read morechildren. Today I decided to get all the information about the new Pre-K that just opened up in the new building near my apartment. It's brand new and welcoming. I met the Assistant Principal who immediately met me at the door. Classrooms are so cute and look like the children will have so much fun. Everything is brand new. As soon as you enter there's security at the door in the lobby. Our Mayor has said Pre-K for all. I can see he means business after my visit to this preschool. I'm adding this to Yelp to get the word out in my neighborhood. I taught Head Start for years. I'm a firm believer that most of what you need to know in life you learn by age 5! If you know anyone that can use this service refer them. I'm sure the classes will fill up quickly.

My child missed the first class bc he fell asleep and they would not refund me. Poorly run establishment. Did not even get to try the place. I just joined gymtime which is amazing as well as TLB music. Both are great warm welcoming environments that do not act as if their facility is a country club. Their make up policies are great and if you aren't happy they will refund you. Luckily I loved both of those classes for my baby.

They also have great college placement in their upper school and wonderful facilities. Their main building is being expanded and they have a relatively new state of the art field house on 87th street. Caroline Kennedy went here... need I say more? **** In response to CB M.'s obnoxious comment above I'd like to say that the address he used in his review is not for the main school - that is the address to the field house - yes, a Brearley building, but not for the main school. I felt it was important to review with the correct address. Thanks. ****

My child was constantly getting removed from classes and we were being told she couldn't sit still in a Montessori which was odd. We kept having constant meetings about him and it just became overwhelming for her and our family. We eventually had to remove her from the school and go into public. The teachers are lovely but are not trained to deal with all types of children which is sad. We also had all services in place for her and with that they still needed help to handle a 1st grader. My best decision was to remove her from a school that kept correcting everything about her.

I echo Laura's comments about Caedmon. My son is progressing so well both academically and socially…read morethat we decided to enroll our daughter. I think the one thing that separates Caedmon from the other private schools is the staff which is second to none. The school does an amazing job hiring both teachers and staff.

High teachers turnover, management only present 2 days a week because focusing on other school openings, almost all activities include additional fees even with an expensive annual tuition. Like last year, school opens late (8:30) so you have to find somebody to drop off your children. In a nutshell, needs improvement in a few areas.

The Vanessa and all of the teachers are wonderful and my children are speaking fluently in both French and English. Arc En Ciel did a great job of preparing my daughter for the LFNY. Not only are we happy with Arc En Ciel, and perhaps most importantly, our children love the school and their teachers. They are always excited to go to school and before vacations are over they are asking "when can we go back to school?".

From the owner: A window to the world for young children and their families…read more.. The preschool years are a crucial window in a child's academic, social and cultural development. In the few years spent at The International Preschools, a child will develop not only academic skills but also social skills and cultural attitudes. At The International Preschools, where English language learners are welcomed and supported, children and families from New York City and all over the world share their cultures and gain a sense of international awareness through mutual understanding and respect. Through play, we promote the cognitive, emotional, social and physical growth of each child in a nurturing atmosphere. With schools in multiple Manhattan neighborhoods children may attend school close to home while their families are part of a large and vibrant parent and faculty network. The size of The International Preschools allows us to be a laboratory for curriculum development, including a rich variety of specialty activities based on early childhood educational research and good practices.

It is safe, clean, and the children are happy. There are many activities that the children enjoy. I have had nothing but positive experiences with the teachers and admin. A extra benefit is being able to store your stroller on site, but it is also the only partial negative - that storage room can be very cramped! But, other than that, the place is great. Communication, care, and safety are foremost. My grandkids are always happy.

Your child will be safe here but the people here are low payed disinterested in your child. In the morning when you walk in the place smells like a dirty mop, in the evening when you go to pick up your child it smells like poo. Don't believe me, try it. The administrators are not friendly and act like you are a nuisance. My sons diaper cream and brand new wipes went missing and they stopped recording anything about him after 1pm, he was there till 6pm. Not using this site again. Period.

Not only was I overjoyed with the experience personally, But I was also delighted with the program as a professional in the field of education. Little Maestros gets it right in every way! Of course, the program is full of music, but it is also full of language experiences, gross motor activities, warm and friendly social interactions and skill-building, and all designed so all children can participate at their own level and feel successful. The instructors are not only talented entertainers, but they are also personable and interact with each child using their name, and in a differentiated and developmentally appropriate manner. Each class follows a predictable routine, which is important for early childhood education and each class is also unique with new and exciting and fun learning opportunities. As the director of education at a major art museum, it thrills me when I see a program that models the power of the arts to enhance individual and community wellbeing and happiness. Little Maestros hits it out of the park. Thank you and keep up the great work!
