I can't speak highly enough of Bright Beginnings, my daughter flourished there and I truly felt it…read morewas the perfect environment as her first introduction to school. Every child is different so I can't speak for other parents, but here are the main points that made me choose and stay with BB: - Right-sized class: teacher to student ratio was just right, where my daughter had enough diverse interactions with various kids while still getting a detailed report on her every day when I picked her up - Space: the inside space is decent sized and spans two floors. I loved the fact that the school was in a corner of the building and had top to bottom glass windows on the first floor (hello sunshine!). The room was always clean and tidy, even at the end of the day which was amazing to me how they could manage that with so many kids - Outside play: kids get to play outdoors in a private park right outside the school (shared only with other residents, not open to general public), and they don't even have to cross any streets. Throughout the summer the water spray is turned on and my daughter really enjoyed running around and getting wet everyday. During the colder months the kids have an awesome play area in the lower level with a rock wall, basketball and a ball pit. My daughter still talks about that ball pit even to this day! - Food: great healthy variety. They don't load up the kids with fruit punch or even juice, just water and milk. Healthy snacks like veggie straws, edamame, seaweed and animal crackers. - Attentive: the teachers at BB are top notch! The director, Allison, is excellent. She's kind and gentle with the kids yet firm, which is exactly what toddlers need to encourage appropriate behaviors (and discourage inappropriate ones). She's detailed oriented with the lesson plans and always seeking for feedback from parents to improve. All the teachers - Taylor, Jake, Hunter, Sam - have made such a huge positive impact on my daughter by providing a warm and nurturing environment. Even throughout the pandemic, the entire BB staff worked really hard to keep up with maintaining connections with the kids. As an example, my then 2 year-old didn't take to virtual learning very well and I was struggling to get her to adapt to interacting with a computer screen. Allison pre-recorded a lesson plan over the weekend just for my daughter so that I can play it for her more frequently and encourage her to engage with online learning. It's examples like these where BB goes above and beyond that made me feel like they were an extension of my family Lesson plans: good variety of physical stimulation and academic lessons. My daughter learned the entire alphabet, numbers 1-20, concept of patterns, even learned how to spell her long name, before she turned 3. She baked cookies, had dance parties everyday, and learned yoga moves that her daddy doesn't even know about! If you're still looking for a pre-school, look no further, you won't regret it!

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!

I am absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude to the staff and administrators of the Middleton school…read more My daughters both attended here and now just one remains. The children here never have to worry about being mistreated in any way. The teachers treat these children as if they were their very own and you can really feel the love and concern that they have for each of them. I'm very particular about whom I let watch my daughters. However, I've never had any reason or cause for concern with this school (and that's saying a lot). When my youngest used to fall out in tears as we were dropping her off, there was Mrs. Chambers (who then taught pre-K) who would immediately pick her up and hugged on her reassure her that everything would be OK. All of the teachers act the same way and the children who attend here are very blessed to have people that truly care and don't treat them like it's just a job. I'm probably going to cry when we do finally have to put our daughter in another school (only because she's either too old or we've moved to another area) Just like the kids, I have been spoiled by this school. It's so comforting to drop off your children and not have to worry about them during the day. I highly recommend the school to anyone in that find it hard to trust people to watch your children. That was me and The Middleton School has completely exceeded all of my expectations. I cannot recommend this school enough. Most Sincerely, Lethia Wooten P.S. One of the staff, Miss Trina is one of the friendliest people on the planet. I have never, ever, ever, (Ever!!!) seen her in a bad mood. She is uber friendly and treats every like like a VIP. My daughter won't leave without hugging her neck! And Ms. Stevens runs that front office with a sense of professionalism that is truly refreshing. Speaking to her always leaves me with a feeling that she has things thoroughly under control (and for a Parent that feeling is GOLDEN). I really love this school. 2.5 years and I've never had a bad experience.

This school was truly exceptional for us. They are on top of everything and the environment was just perfect for my child.

My son in the beginning cried so much (even threw up) since he was traumatized from other just as expensive and private school/montessori/academy. The director told me "give us a month and everything will change" It really did! my son just loves it there and he flourished dramatically within his first month. They care immensely for the children esp Corrie the director. She treats each and everyone of the kids there like family. My son's teachers Ms. Nicole, Ms. Kelly, Ms. Michelle were lovely professionals. From a boy who doesn't even want to get out of the car as soon as we park there to a happy toddler who wakes up excited to go to school rushes out of the car to run to his classroom it was just a miracle for us to see him grow this much. Thank you for everything.
