We started my daughter at the Goddard school when she was 7 months old. Ever since then, each one…read moreof her teachers have shown her so much love and support. When she was in her infant room, Ms. Christine was kind and patient. She engaged her both emotionally and physically. Im sure that my daughter reached all her milestones early because her teachers worked so hard with her. Now my daughter is in the toddler classroom and she is obsessed with Ms. Lidia and Ms. Danielle. She calls for them by name on the weekends. I feel so safe and comfortable knowing that these 2 women are taking care of my daughter. In addition to all the love and care she get, I am so beyond impressed with the menu my daughter I served everyday. She eats such a diverse menu of foods that I couldn't possible recreate in my house!

We originally chose the Goddard School because of their covid procedures, way back in 2020-2021,…read morethat were very strict. Throughout then, till now, we have been beyond satisfied with their organization, safety protocols (protests, covid, etc.), food selections/variety/nutrition (organic, etc.), communication (frequency, methods and accuracy) and most importantly the teachers. The people and systems that really hold everything together to give the opportunity to forster fun and learning. From Lowest Aged Classrooms - Ms. Victoria and Ms. Molly - both so kind, gentle and understanding, which at a younger age, really what kids need. They take note of important things like food intake, health, sign language, and even smaller (but life hack tips) items such as good sippy cups to use, etc. Ms. Monica and Ms. Destiny - they had our (first) son at a very challenging age and really were his first teachers at Goddard. They worked with him to achieve so many milestones. He loves them both dearly! They were upbeat, so dedicated and really got him out of his shell (and may I add out of many bad moods)! We can never thank them enough! Ms. Philena and Ms. Tiana - Both great teachers! Ms. Tiana is so sweet and caring. She keeps kids calm and speaks to them in such a way that they really open up to her. Mrs. Philena is also great, she speaks to the kids like little adults, and helps them to achieve milestones, such as staying dry after a nap, etc. She communicates (as she was the late night teacher) to the parents at pick up about the happenings of the day! Ms. O and Ms. Nina - Ms. O is a model teacher - as she must be for the age she teaches is when they start to get a little "smart"! She is firm and challenges them (holds them accountable) as well as relates to them on a friend level. Ms. Nina is so warm! She knows the unseen things such as if they may have to use the bathroom, or if they are in any type of "mood." She gets to know each kid and treats them as if they were her own. The administration really runs a tight ship - there is never a slip-up. Kellyanne, Yolanda, Sylvia and Emily they are all highly efficient whether it be getting the daily reports, communicating sicknesses/incidents, holidays, or crazy things that parents ask for like pictures of how big the chunks of food their kid are eating (guilty), or swiftly getting ....snacks or throw up off the floor (the sheer number of things that they handle I am sure I only know a small fraction). They basically are the neck to the (very heavy!) head. We could not be happier about the quality of teachers at the Goddard School to entrust them with the foundational years of our children.

Both of my sons were enrolled in Seton Day Care & Pre-school. They are alumni and today young…read moresuccessful college grads. I came across these reviews of Seton Day Care and couldn't resist adding our story to the reviews. Their continued endurance is definitely an indicator of what excellent quality daycare embodies. I WILL FOREVER be grateful for the excellent care and love, my sons received at Seton Day Care & Pre-school so many years ago. At the time they were enrolled, my youngest was only 11 months, in pampers, and non-verbal. His older brother was 2 years old and very precocious. We had just suffered the loss of their father, my husband, to an aneurysm and I was a full-time school teacher in NYC. Knowing they were safe, actively engaged in learning, and happy as I dropped them off each morning, seemed to make the world a little easier to maneuver. Excellent teachers, physical space, and a dyno director were just a few of the amenities all mothers crave for their pre-schoolers. I'm not surprised that there are few reviews posted and that there is an unfortunately long waiting list. Pre-schools like Seton Day Care don't require or depend on written reviews. This pre-school is on an island by itself when it comes to parents knocking down its doors to get their pre-schoolers in. Still a Very Grateful Mom, Debra

I agree with the previous poster in terms of the admissions process you definitely need to check in frequently to see if a spot will be open. Once in, my daughter has received a lot of care and attention. They were able to tell that my daughter had a development delay and suggested that I get services for her through the city. Now with the combination of Seton education and the therapy, she has closed much of that gap. Students are consistently involved in working on projects, learning to participate in class discussions, and physical activities like dancing and sports. The style of education is Montessori for those that are interested. So it is tough to get in, but overall I feel it is well worth the effort.

This year, as we looked at the options for elementary school, we decided to apply to private school and got into our first choice. We are overjoyed to be sending our daughter off to kindergarten next year at a school we are very excited about, and we know that River Park was instrumental in preparing her for the admissions process and for class in the fall. River Park is a cooperative school, which has given me a chance to get to know the majority of kids and parents and I have seen major growth for all involved and nothing but happy results.

It is a very…read morewarm, nuturing environment with teachers that have all been at the school for 20+ years and have wealth of experience, knowledge and love. This is a co-op based school so expect to put in some extra hours to help out with administrative duties/special events, but I believe this also adds to the overall experience for the family, child and school as a whole. My daughter entered this school very shy and blossomed into a confident, happy and self assured child. My son currently attends and we have seen wonderful progress with him as well as he loves learning and expanding his world. We are very happy to have found this school and I couldn't recommend it more.

The kids have lots of time for play, both in the sunny classrooms with views of the river, and in their two outdoor playgrounds and indoor gym. Although the school is play-based, they also do a lot of learning through play! I've been amazed at how my son's writing ability has grown this year. The specials (library, art, music, and dance) are also a real highlight of the Weekday School. My son has been bringing home amazing art projects, and showing us the songs and dances that he learned at school. Most importantly, the teachers are so experienced and caring. They really get to know each child as an individual, and my son has bonded very strongly with his teachers. Ms. Daina, the director, is incredibly warm, dedicated, and accessible. She knows all the children, is involved on a day-to-day level, and provides a lot of guidance for the kindergarten application process. We have had a wonderful experience with the Weekday School. It is a magical place for children!

If they are dealing like this with adults, I do not know how they deal with kids.
