    Bronxville Montessori (BMS) is a hidden gem. Our family moved nearby last year, and we were a bit…read moreconcerned about being able to find a high quality preschool. My husband works in education, and we're both very focused on the impact of an educational environment on the development of young children. After seeing several daycares and preschools in the area, we visited BMS and knew it was the program for us. Our daughter, almost 3, just made the cutoff to get into the mixed age classroom. BMS has almost a magical quality about it - The head of the school, Deborah, runs an excellent operation. From having kind, passionate, well trained teachers, to fostering a secure, collaborative, learning environment for the children, we could not be happier with our experience at BMS. While I could go on about the different best practices I've seen there, I think the most important proof is in the pudding... Since starting at BMS, our daughter has grown wonderfully. She's become more thoughtful, conscientious, and engaged. She's excited to go to school in the morning, and models the behaviors they foster there, outside of school (curiosity about the world, empathy, cleaning up after herself, and more). To us, Bronxville Montessori maintains the perfect balance of lots of play (creative and physical), some traditional classroom instruction, and character focused activities/norms. Of course there's work on the parents' part to help foster a similar environment at home, but we feel BMS has helped lay an excellent foundation for our daughter. We recommend the school to all our local friends (one just enrolled their toddler in the 2s program). We have also been very happy with their ability to reopen for the 2020/2021 school year, and with all the precautions they're taking to ensure a safe environment amidst COVID-19. The 3-5 age class students wear masks inside and outside, are screened every morning, practice frequent hand-washing, follow social distancing measures inside the classroom, and more. The pandemic has been extra challenging for all our children, and since returning to BMS after the pandemic school lockdown, our now almost-4-year-old has has been progressing back to her more normal state - happier, less anxious, fewer meltdowns, etc.

    Me and my wife enrolled our son in this montessori school about 2 years ago.The first year was…read morekinda ok,i would say it was great but the teachers they employe are not really worth the amount of many you pay for tuition.At 15,000 a year plus all the donations they constantly ask for they should really have better teachers.With a ratio of 6 to 1 they should be aware and on top of what each kid needs.That didn't happen the first year as our teacher had to be pulled from the class room for speaking to parents as thou they were friends of hers and not adults with children there.Very Bad communication skills with parents.The second year got even worse.Again you expect certain level of professionalism for what you pay for a 3-6 year old to go to this school but not the case.This time the teacher we got was very snarky and also answered disrespectfully to my wife on several occasions.Again not professional at all.During the second year they had a child in the class that liked to go after kids.Push punch bite whatever the case.Now i know kids play but this is continuous and for what you pay and the 6 to 1 ratio What are you paying for?This child ended up picking up scissors to cut my child's hair and paperwork and no one did nothing.They said "It was a misunderstanding"What's to misunderstand the kid and parents should have been dealt with but a school that is private,if you have a few kids maybe that will attend in future they will close an eye which they did.Unfortunately because of one uncontrollable child i had to pull my child from the school.Its not the first time it's happened at this school.I will be contacting the licensing board in the next couple of weeks or when they are available to discuss this kind of teaching and behavior.I would not recommend you send your child here as you might have to pay a lot to worry and be ignored if something comes up.For the money there are better options out there than this especially for s child

    If only I could give 10 STARS! After falling through the cracks in public schools and only knowing…read morefailure, I reached out to Fusion Academy Westchester Campus. Enrolling my child in this school was the best decision I have ever made. The atmosphere is supportive, rewarding, challenging and caring. My child walked into Fusion with no motivation, lack of confidence and walked out the complete opposite. The staff, Gina, Karla, Ryan, Bill, Veronica are no like any other. The Fusion teachers focus on the way your child learns in a one on one setting. I have never been prouder and have no plans on ever sending my child back to the public school system.

Al Diker is not fully versed on current research, knowledge, and understanding of children with various special needs. I asked very specific questions about reading behaviors, pre reading skills, comprehension with regards to receptive and expressive language ability and/or deficiencies, as well as visual perceptual deficiencies with regards to my daughters needs. HE WAS UNABLE to answer these questions. For example, when I asked him about how he would approach children with visual perceptual deficits, (i.e. scanning and tracking) he didn't understand what this meant!!!! He wanted to know if she wore glasses. I said it's not an eyeball thing, it's a brain thing- and continued to respond to my questions with gimmicky claims of how children will be able to "move from 'I can't to I can'". This doesn't fly with the more discerning parent. What does that mean? He simply could not answer my very specific questions. He also cut me off constantly throughout the entire conversation to give me more gimmicky statements and had absolutely ZERO interest in learning about my child's specific needs. WHICH SAYS A LOT! I've done a lot of research, and this is not a fully developed reading program. It would be good for a short period perhaps, but not long term. PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION and do your research. PLEASE, especially if you have a child with needs. I would recommend something multi sensory and fully developed. The Windward School and The Stephen Gaynor School use multi sensory methods for a reason!!!

    We were very excited about Hudson Country Montessori School but left deeply disappointed in the…read moreteachers' and administration's tolerance of discriminatory and bigoted language used in the classroom including during class discussions. We raised concerns to the teachers and administration about a pattern of homophobic, racist, and anti-immigrant language being used at school including, at times, during classroom discussions in front of the teachers and were told that the classroom includes students with "differing beliefs" and that our child, who raised objections in some of these instances, needed to be coached at home to tolerate this discriminatory language at school in order to avoid conflict with classmates. We repeatedly explained that our concern was that the language being used in class was not a case of "differing beliefs" but bigoted and discriminatory language that specifically targeted protected groups based on race, religion, immigration status, and identity and that allowing it to continue created a hostile and toxic environment for students from any of those groups. To this, we were told directly and in writing by the head of school, "If every classroom moment is interpreted through the lens of potential third-party offense, classrooms can quickly become places of controversy rather than learning." We decided to withdraw our child's enrollment in the middle of the school year because, after this response from the head of school, the behavior continued in the classroom and we no longer felt it was a safe environment. If your child or family is part of any historically marginalized group, we would not recommend this school. They are able to speak very eloquently about their commitment to diversity and their mission to ensure that no student is targeted, excluded, or harmed based on race, religion, or identity -- but when it comes time to demonstrate that commitment they fall very, very short.

We are also seeing positive behavioral changes with her at home. After only two months in the program, she is speaking about and demonstrating more physical organization. She is getting individuated attention for reading and math, which we love. She continues to be passionate about learning, and there is really nothing better! Being one of the older students in the classroom, she is also learning about leadership, and taking that home to model behavior for her younger sister as well. We are thrilled!
