When we took the tour one of the owners walked with us for over an hour and was very thorough and detailed about every aspect of the place. He was very transparent and explained everything exhaustively, I like that. RHCC has a large backyard with playsets, swings, slides, etc. Patient and knowledgeable teachers, the whole place is monitored with cameras, you have to get through two doors (that can only be buzzed open) and the teachers/aides go through a background check. I like security like any parent so this made me feel comfortable. They're flexible on their hours and if your kid isn't potty trained yet they change on premises (if you're comfortable with that.) Plus the thing that sold me the most on the place was the children themselves seemed legitimately happy while they were playing, etc. so that clued me in it wasn't a big act. We'll be taking our child back.

The majority of the students in this preschool are falsely categorized as special education…read morestudents so that SIMHS can get an increase in government funding. Even children that pass the preschool student evaluation by external testing sites are still being recommended for special education by the educational director. The director puts an extreme amount of pressure on you and makes you feel you are being of disservice to your child. If your child was recommended for a special education program by SIMHS and was evaluated review your child's preschool student evaluation summary report with an independent child psychologist.

I won't go into the other day cares here, but suffice it to say I am very happy with Kiddie Academy. I've seen a HUGE developmental improvement in my daughter, and not just because she's a couple of months older, but because the teachers read, count, sing, play and appropriately discipline. My daughter LOVES her teachers. The director is very approachable and offers realistic solutions to issues - and she takes my concerns seriously every single time. I wish we found this place when we initially moved to NY, but we are here now and my mind is at ease because I know she loves it, she's taken care of, and she's learning. (Oh yeah, and they work with her and us for potty training!!) all of the teachers are attentive, they really look like, sound like they want to be right where they are. UPDATE: my daughter is fully potty trained now. The support received from the staff for this wonderful milestone is unbelievable. Thank you Anna and staff for helping up get AnnaBelle potty trained!! We love you guys!

My work as Creative Director for Sesame Street has opened up many doors for me to visit schools and…read morebusinesses around the world. But my experience at the Ivy Prep Early Learning Center, at the generous invitation of Director Rachel Lunden-Carter, is among the most meaningful of my entire 32 year career at Sesame Workshop, the parent company of Sesame Street. I do get to see the results of my work from the calls, letters and ratings that come to our company from people who watch the show from generation to generation. But nothing could ever compare with the rare moments that I get to engage directly with children and see their beautiful and enthusiastic faces. Under Ms. Lunden-Carter's brilliant supervision, with the support of her stellar staff, I had the most enjoyable time of all at this school, without exaggeration. Drawing Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby and Big Bird for the children provided such great moments for me. But to see how the amazing teachers took my drawings and had the children, in my eyes, outdo my own drawings with their beautiful art surrounding it, actually choked me up when I saw the results. That day started with a tour of the entire building by this exceptional director where I was able to meet the teachers and other staff members, which felt so much like I was being introduced to her family. Joyful, enthusiastic people taking their work very seriously while bringing the love and joy necessary for children to excel, especially at such very young ages. I could go on and on here, but I just want to congratulate all of the parents and caregivers who have brilliantly chosen this school as the genuine haven of early education that it is. I also congratulate Ms. Lunden-Carter for her excellence, high standards, and committed devotion to implementing such ground-breaking programs and getting the right people to help her. She is fulfilling this great and necessary mission, and doing it better than anyone else I have personally encountered wherever I have had the opportunity to visit children at school. Gratefully, Louis Henry Mitchell
