My daughter went here from one year of age to five. We enjoyed it! The school is beautiful with a variety of flowers for the children to enjoy out front. Charming mosaics made by previous generations greet you as you enter the building. You know right away that this is a place of learning.
There's two large playgrounds in the back and two playgrounds on porches providing ample space for running around, come rain or shine. The security is good as you can only enter from the front with a parent code or be buzzed in. There were lots of activities around the holidays, our favorite was the winter sing where we sang holiday songs. I was able to go on a couple trips with my child, one time to see a play at Raritan valley community college. The children loved it! From the playground to class trips it was a great experience.
The teachers are kind and patient. There were English and Spanish speaking teachers, which was very important to me to jumpstart my child in learning Spanish. Liz and Lily, as well as the teachers my child had, were excellent at working with me to ensure my child was progressing with developmental goals.
The schedule was focused around play and prepared the kids for transition to kindergarten. They had circle time. They learned to pour their own milk at lunch. The had a class full of activities plus a little library down the hall. There's also a little reading space in the hall where I often sat and read with my child when I was picking them up.
When your child is going to King's Daughter's Day School they have a balance of play and learning that allows them to enjoy those early years while preparing them for greater learning experiences. I am sure you will cherish it just as we did. read more
