A special thank you to the director, Ms. K, who is absolutely wonderful. She is incredibly kind, patient, and always willing to help with any questions or needs I've had. Her leadership really shows in the positive atmosphere and organization of the entire center. She takes the time to listen, offer guidance, and make everyone feel valued and supported. It's rare to find a team so dedicated and genuine. I highly recommend Hudson Sprouts to anyone looking for a place run by caring, professional people who truly make a difference every day.

Ms Donna and the crew constantly impress…read more We came here when 3 months pregnant with a goal to secure a spot early and boy, are we glad we did! The ratios of teachers to children was so important to us, and that was a huge factor in us choosing Education Station. Every time we pick up our son, someone is playing with him, holding him, or he's napping right next to a watchful eye. Even as an infant (aka: a potato that poops), eye contact and stimulation is important, and ES knows it. They give us little report cards and post photos a few times a week to show the daily routine. The only drawback is that ES is a pretty large center, and there is no parking lot. Pulling in at prime drop off and pick up times can get a little tough to get a parking spot right next to the building (which, in winter or summer, walking two blocks carrying a car seat with a fat baby in it is a workout!). We're really eager to see how our little one continues to flourish in their care for years to come.

From the first weeks, the teachers made a genuine effort to support his adjustment, keeping us , thoroughly informed and ensuring he felt secure and always included. That level of communication and Genuine care made a big difference for our family. Their classroom environment is very structured, organized, and welcoming. It is a setup, where the students, are not overly stimulated and they keep it simple, but, yet, very relaxed and productive! Smart Starts Academy has a curriculum , in which, encourages learning through, play while building important social and academic skills. Over time, we noticed improvements in his confidence, language skills, and enthusiasm for learning, which speaks volumes about the quality of instruction and Attentiveness to each student in their classroom! Emotions that each child may carry ,throughout their day, was Never ignored , but rather, very respected and handled with Extreme care and Genuine Understanding! The staff is beyond,professional, attentive, and Deeply committed to each child's development and learning journey! This preschool sets a HIGH standard for early education, and we would confidently recommend it to any family seeking a program that combines strong academics with Genuine care. Furthermore, the fact that, the students are to wear a uniform, distinctively separates, from other schools,especially because, the students are grasping the idea that, "we are going to school" and it clearly shows the difference between all other schools in the area. I absolutely RECOMMEND Smart Starts Academy and it will Not disappoint! The Smart Start Academy is a Great School for each child's first major steps in Learning and socially engaging in Healthy and Sustainable Growth and Development!

She associates her uniform with "going to school", which is a great visual prompt to get us ready & out the door each day. 2) The administration and staff are so helpful & have been extra accommodating to her special needs. There is a great curriculum including an introduction to Spanish language skills & preschool preparation (tracing letters, using glue sticks & scissors, etc) . It's truly like a school rather than just a daycare facility. She loves her teachers Mrs Ruth & Miss Justine :) 3) The tech used by the facility is great. The app lets us check her in & out for the day with ease. We get information and photo updates throughout the day. 3) Food is healthy and our picky eater never goes hungry.

As a psychotherapist, I have spent much of my career working with children and I have been so impressed by Liz's ability to emotionally connect with our son, capitalize on his strengths and actually (at the age of four) get him to start reading and to be excited about doing so. She is effectively able to use play and humor to appeal to his intellect and her lessons are tailored to his needs. Liz has been able to cultivate a love of learning and reading in our child at an early age because she understands his abilities and is so encouraging and enthusiastic. This is something his teachers have been unable to do. I know that the lessons he is learning with Liz will continue to help him as he embarks on bigger challenges and we are so grateful.

I was looking for a quality education experience for my daughter that was geared towards her individual needs. The Montessori Method of self-directed activity, hands-on learning and teacher guidance of children to make good choices, greatly appealed to me. In my opinion, Hudson Montessori excelled in this area with quality and experienced teachers. 2. It was important to me that my African American daughter attends a school that honors and respects diversity. Hudson Montessori does an excellent job at celebrating the diversity of its students through parent-led cultural presentations. Children are free to explore and ask questions as they are exposed to cultural celebrations from all backgrounds. 3. Lastly, I absolutely love the concept of choosing a major theme for each school year for the children to learn about certain subjects throughout the year. The annual Social Studies Fair is an excellent event that allows us to see just how much information the children have learned as they study the theme from the beginning of the school year to the end. 4. The selection of after school programs is second to none. There is an activity offered for just about every child's interests including yoga, art, chess, tennis, gymnastics, healthy cooking and more. 5. Parental involvement is just as important and Hudson Montessori has a very active parent volunteer organization. Parents are encouraged to help out in a variety of ways - through in-class presentations, movie nights, fundraisers or volunteering to assist at the Social Studies Fair. There are lots of ways to stay active. In addition, every month there are parent education nights where we can learn more about the Montessori Method and the types of materials our children use in the classrooms. 6. Lastly, the Year-End Celebration is a fantastic performance where our children have the opportunity to showcase their talents and gain confidence. This is my daughter's 4th year with Hudson Montessori and I couldn't be happier with the results. When she says "Mommy, I love school" that is the best compliment I believe that any school administrator, teacher and parent could hear. I know that I made the right choice! Thank you Ms. Jolly (Director), Ms. Maki and Ms. Gina (school administrators), Ms. Tia, Ms. Alia and Ms. Caridad, Ms. Denise, Ms. Mariana and Ms. Mahrukh for taking care of her for the past 3 years. Now that she has started first grade, I know that she's in capable hands with Ms. Shannon and Ms. Gina A.
