I sent both my girls to Ready Set Grow (both camp and school) and we had such a wonderful time. In…read moremy opinion, it was the perfect place for their first time school experience. What really drew me in was their small class sizes and rotational system (the classes travel from room to room- with each room being a specific content or theme). The staff is truly exceptional (and as a teacher myself, I had very high expectations). They communicated clearly and consistently, provided a loving and safe environment and handled the separation blues professionally (which really makes a huge difference at this age!). I was also genuinely impressed with their curriculum and how much they did. My girls still talk about how much they loved RSG!

They made me drive all the way back to pick up a check they shorted me on what they owe me! They lied and said they said the credit card payment is my responsibility which I was never told! The owner and director left for the entire first part of camp leaving a counselor and teenagers to run the camp. Very irresponsible unorganized place! I don't feel safe leaving my toddler for camp here. I do NOT recommend this place.

We had such an amazing experience at Kiddie. My daughter started daycare there since she was 2. She…read moreloved the fun and learning at the daycare. The teachers and staff are super friendly, patient and loving. Special thanks to Ms Gloria who is always great at communication of all the needs & concerns we have! We love you, Ms Gloria! They send the pictures and daily reports (with potty time) every day, which is super helpful for first-time parents! And they even helped potty training for the kids (thank god!). During Covid, there are very strict Covid protocols in place (mask mandate, cleaning, no parents at the class room, etc). As someone who is more cautious and still doesn't feel comfortable with indoor dining with mask off, I trust Ms Gloria and teachers at Kiddie since they follow the Covid protocols very well. Now that my kid has graduated from Kiddie, I am planning to send her back during future summer/winter breaks. I will definitely recommend to my family and friends as well!

My granddaughter started prekindergarten at OLS. We thought we found the perfect school. Even when…read moreparents commented, "this school is not the same", we ignored them. The prekindergarten - third grade teachers were remarkable, exhibiting Christ-like qualities. The education she received through the third grade was stellar, through and after COVID. These teachers really cared about the social-emotional and educational needs of the students that were entrusted to their care. Even when my son said it was time to change schools I stubbornly held on. But fourth grade confirmed that it was indeed time to move on. During the first week of after-school band practice my granddaughter's instrument was taken and damaged by a student in the upper grades. I spoke to the principal Mr. Venticinque, and after watching a video of the lunchroom my granddaughter's statement was confirmed. I wish this was the only incident that took place during the fourth grade. Unfortunately, it was not. She was sitting next to a new student who stole her school supplies. The teacher said she was unaware of the incident, but the new student confirmed that she stole the supplies because she didn't have any. I still do not understand how a teacher cannot monitor a class when there are only fourteen students in the class. My granddaughter actually prayed to get the fourth grade teacher she wanted. And, unfortunately she received the teacher she prayed for. This turned out to be the reason we would leave OLS. This teacher yelled and humiliated students all year. Every day my granddaughter would come home with a different story. Even though the teacher's anger wasn't directed at my granddaughter, children shouldn't be subject to this behavior from adults. She would yell at students if they didn't wear the correct color for Dollar Dress Down Day. I couldn't understand why her anger was directed at the children when parents make the decision as to what their child will wear to school. My granddaughter came out of school very upset after sitting for a test that she studied hard for. This fourth grade teacher took points off her test because she said my granddaughter was talking. I approached the teacher and told her that my grandchild was telling a student to stop cheating off her paper. The teacher asked why my granddaughter didn't tell her. I told her that she was scared of her. She looked shocked and said she would speak to her. That conversation never took place. After this I didn't approach the teacher with my concerns for fear of retaliation against my granddaughter. When the school year was coming to an end we decided this was not the school environment my grandchild should be in. I approached the principal with our concerns regarding this teacher. He responded by saying no other parents had mentioned this to him. He also stated that this fourth grade teacher never yelled. I knew that both of these statements were not true. I told him that her parents would make the decision as to whether she would stay at OLS. My son emailed the principal, Mr. Venticinque and requested a day and time to meet with him. He didn't respond to the email until mid summer. I was a faithful volunteer at OLS for four years. I actually thought this would make a difference in how my grandchild was treated. Unfortunately, it did not. The behavior of the fourth grade teacher, delayed responses from the principal and high teacher turnover are just a few of the reasons why I would not recommend this school.

They have various programs throughout the week and they also offer full day services for when school is out. The only downsides to me are: A. They could have more learning related activities or choices for parents to select from. B. Not really a downside but something to be aware of is that they are closed on some Jewish holidays when school is in session. The plus side is that they do offer a summer camp that our little one really enjoyed. The counselors who work in the after school may also be counselors in the summer so it does offer some continuity for the kids where they can see similar faces and friends.

We ran to her and brought her back into the school and trying to see why they leave a 4 years old kid on the street. The teacher's excuse was "she thought she saw us!'' And she told us there's a lot of parents and she cannot recognize everyone of them. Seriously?!?!?! That's not an explanation! This is the most ridiculous excuse!! How did they even get a license to run a preschool when they don't care about kids safety? What if a stranger picked her up? What if she walks around and get lost? What if...? Omg I don't even wanna imagine!!!! Also, a kid punched her around the eye area while in school. She came home with a swollen lid. She said she told the teacher and they didn't do anything!!

The owner and director of the school Ms. Virginia is amazing! Very warm and welcoming and runs a very structured, clean, organized and fun environment for children. My twin daughters cried all day for almost 2 months, now I don't even get a goodbye in the mornings. The hours are awesome for a working parent, drop off at 7:30 and pick up no later than 6:00. My twin daughters also have asthma and when they are sick with asthma episodes I need not to worry ONE BIT! My daughters get their treatments and the teachers keep to my schedule. Academically this school rocks! HW every other night which consists of tracing, coloring, cutting & pasting. Only one sheet per HW night and it is very manageable. Breakfast and snacks are served at school only lunch has to be sent in. Which they warm up =) I love love love this school and I am sad my twins will be going to kindergarten in September =(
