Unsafe Staffing Ratios and Lack of Supervision: I had to pull my son out of this camp today…read moreimmediately after drop-off due to severe safety and staffing violations. I witnessed entirely unacceptable counselor-to-camper ratios that violate NY State regulations. There was only one teacher upstairs with over 15 children, and another trying to navigate a elevator alone with over 8 children. Furthermore, children are permitted to enter at 9:00 AM, but counselors reportedly do not arrive until 9:30 AM, creating a dangerous 30-minute supervision gap. To make matters worse, the director was completely absent from the site. This level of negligence is unsafe. I have pulled my child from the program and am filing a formal report with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). Parents beware

I wish I had read the earlier review before placing my kids here. I agree there needs to be greater…read morestaff to child ratio and improved supervision. This program is being held inside a busy Northeastern University (formerly Mountmary College) building. My 5 year old son reported to me today that he went to the restroom and was walked in on while taking a bowel movement by an "old man." He related that the man saw him and then just went away. I asked where his teacher was and he told me it occurred during lunch and that he was not accompanied or monitored. This is very troubling. Adding to this, my other son came home with a swollen ear twice its normal size and we were not at all notified about this! And these are just two of my most alarming concerns about this place. I have now pulled my kids out from this week's camp and filed a formal complaint. Warning to other parents to please take heed!

ThinkingCAP NY Academy is one if not the best programs for children. Not only are they staffed with…read moreboard certified teachers they have an amazing director. You can't hear ThinkingCAP without Adam, he is the most amazing, caring, attentive, dedicated, definitely under appreciated people in the city. Adam is the Program Manager, however he is like the brother to the staff, parents and kids. We heard of the program just when the pandemic started as our daughter was starting school, however we had some difficulties due to the pandemic and Adam did everything to work with out. We appreciated his attentiveness so much we decided to forgo other summer camps when we found out that this program offered one. The camp was beyond amazing, our daughter loved it and I felt that the staff loved her. It felt like family, not easy to find a program that you feel takes good care of your child. That was last year. This school year, our daughter's school offered a few after school programs, however none of them are even close to this program. Adam and ThinkinCAP do so much for kids of the school, a lot of times, people don't know, because he does it for the kids, when I ask him "Why didn't you put the name of the program on the flyer?" He always says "It is for the kids, this is the reason I am doing all of this, I have to do it with all of my heart, or why do it at all." Adam works with the parents, in so many different ways, he communicates effectively in a timely manner. He is direct, honest, nurturing and always a great person to just learn from. If I were to vote for a DOE Chancellor, I would vote for Adam, a lot of people say they are doing it for the children, he is one of the few that means it, which he has shown through his actions! One conversation and you will see how much he and the program really cares and supports children! I truly wish that that the city would support this program to where more children can benefit from him. I forgot to mention, he is not just an administrator who hides behind a desk or group of people, he is always interacting with children and nurturing their growth!

We did the general $30 group lecture where Joyce goes over the process in detail: what do the tiers mean? What does Ed Opt mean? How to interpret lottery numbers? How to build a solid list? It gave us a roadmap for where to begin and what to consider but more importantly, how to stay calm and focused throughout the process so we could distill the noise and get through it. I'm so grateful for her straight-forward, no-nonsense approach. It was a big help during a crazy time!

I'll be honest. The picture that pops up on Google and on Yelp is the field that you see. However,…read morethe park might be bigger than I simply had the privy to see. The park that I saw had a small dog park area than a park for children and then like a smaller court. No grass whatsoever. And it was on a dead end street. And across the street where houses. I did not see any field for soccer, football, anything like that. If this park is that large then maybe there's a different section. However, the section that is on the immediate block did not contain any of these things.

As a kid I would come to this park all of the time. It's fairly big and never too packed. There is…read morea small area for dogs( if you have a small dog just be careful because the gates are large and they may slip through the gates) there is a nice size playground, water area, basketball courts, handball,skating area and bathrooms in the middle. This park is hidden in the neighborhood so I dont think many people in the ridgewood area know about it. A block or so up is the YMCA and a police station. Its also not far from the freshpond train station for the M train. It's about 2-3 blocks from freshpond. I really like this park and I definitely recommend this place to others.
