Do not take your child here!! This is just a business to them, they don't care for the children and…read morethey pick and choose which kids they accept. They want the ones that give them the least amount of work. The Directors and staff are not caring at all. The preschool area is the size of my bathroom. But the room for the kids in the Abbott program is way bigger and set up like a real class as they all should be not just the specialized school program. The helpers in the toddler rooms are not the friendliest bunch and not comforting to the kids when they cry. They do have one or 2 individuals that are nice and caring. I recommend they should look for a better work environment who appreciates the children like them. I absolutely could not recommend this center to anyone! Took both my kids out immediately!! I hesitated putting them here in the first place but the options in this area of highly qualified schools are slim pickings...i figured i would give them a try but I should have went with my first impression and stayed away. Glad my kids were not there for long.

I completely disagree! My son has been at Junior Prep for almost three years, and we both love it…read more I was referred to the school by our realtor, whose daughter also went and loved it. The classrooms in the main building are all about the same size, and always looks clean and orderly. I'll admit to having pretty minimal contact with the director herself, but we've always had good relationships with his teachers and the classroom assistants. It's unfortunate that Naty seems to have had a bad experience, but know that that's not always the case.

There are good teacher and bad like any other school, but one of my son's teacher was barely out of college and her brother was in my son's class. A lot of nepotism and very much a cult. My son has an IEP due to epilepsy (btw not a standar but the law to be ollowed) and they refused to honor it. And I quote "if we give your son extra time then we would have to give everyone extra time" clearly displaying their lack of understanding what an IEP is. We handed the nurse a picture of our son and details in his epilepsy. Copies enough for every teacher and staff that he would be in contact with. Two months into the trimester, not one teacher knew he had epilepsy nor received our packet. There were so many problems with this beautiful school with their hard wood decorative cut logs, newly constructed labs, fish tanks and dogs and peacocks roaming the grounds. We were lured in by the appearance but that all it was. The school is very popular so my son was crammed into a classroom with 40 students!! Very disappointed and wanted to let the principal know when we decided to leave. He rudely and unceremoniously could care less about constructive criticism and was clear that we were leaving so he had nothing to say to us. Be better human beings Kellenburg let alone Catholics.

We've had our son in the Spanish immersion program since he was 2.5, so almost 2 years, and we love…read moreit. All of his teachers are warm, thoughtful and loving and we can tell that he is learning and growing because of them. He's just over four years old and he's already writing and sounding out words, I have no doubt he'll be reading by 5.. And on top of that he spends all day learning in Spanish! And while he's a little shy speaking at home he will just put full sentences sometimes out of the blue and you can tell he understands everything. I also love how beautiful and bright the classrooms are. If your kid is going to be somewhere all day you want it to be in a welcoming and comfortable environment. I wish the school went beyond age 6 because we would definitely keep him here throughout elementary school. The "chaos" and employee turnover mentioned in the other review seems like just a personal sensitivity. It's all felt pretty stable and reliable to us. Obviously Covid throws everyone curveballs but I think the school does a great job with communication and management in those situations. I don't know what else you can really expect in these times!

I came to YoungerMusik hat-in-hand, at the end of April, with only two months left in the school…read moreyear, because my daughter's UPK program was really not able to work with her - she had some behavior issues, all COMPLETELY NORMAL/common for her age, and rather than working with her and with us, they hounded us to "fix it" - even though almost all the behaviors in question only happened at school. It got so bad that we felt like we had no choice but to look for other options, and YoungerMusik saved us! I reached out to them via Yelp, someone called me back later the same day (on a Saturday, no less!) talked me through what their program was like, the hours, the fees, and set up a visit for us to look at the school to see if it was a good fit. Despite a slightly dingy exterior at first glance, they have a nice, bright space on Bath Avenue, with two rooms and a play area set up in the backyard. They gave homework every day, and my daughter LOVED doing it - she was always excited to do it, even though it wasn't always easy for her, and it was definitely helping prepare her for starting Kindergarten in the fall. There were more than enough adults per kid - though they are bound by mandated ratios based on age, I think the adult:kid ratio was usually close to 5 kids per adult, which is the best I've seen. They were always warm, friendly, and communicative. My daughter's completely unacceptable behavior that necessitated daily communication (frankly, *harrassment*) by her UPK director at our prior school magically disappeared - the team at YoungerMusik was able to manage her and integrate her successfully and I had no issues in our time there. They really just saved our family for the last two months of the 2020-2021 school year and I would happily recommend them to another parent.

My child was in the Sunflowers class and they truly loved their teachers so much, and loved being there each day. The school has such a warm, welcoming feel, and I really loved being part of the Bed-Stuy community. There are also plenty of opportunities for parents to be involved, like story time and fun school-wide events! We were also able to stay connected with what's happening in the classroom through an app they use, which I really appreciate. Our child has grown so much socially and academically while being there, and we've always felt supported as a family. We're so grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend this preschool to other families in the neighborhood!

The kids always talk positively about their friends at school and their teachers (specifically Ms. Alana and Ms. Hawa). One of the major reasons my niece and nephew attend SHM is because of their French immersion program. When a French teacher speaks with the children it's only been in French and every time my niece and nephew have responded in French! I've definitely witnessed them speaking more French at home and feel like our family is getting our money's worth. The days when I do drop off the kids the Head of School, Ms. Tracey, has been nothing but sweet and respectful to adults and children. Ms. Tracey takes the time to have a conversation and check in with each adult dropping off a student. This staff at SHM have truly made my family feel like we're a part of their wonderful community. I cannot endorse this preschool highly enough!
