Most of the parents are not friendly if you do not look like them. I really tried to like this school because I thought my son was happy only to find out that he had been unhappy for the past few years and comments about his skin tone were continuously made.. very disappointing for being a private school..

One of the most impressive characteristics is that the principal actually teaches in the classroom! At first I was hesitant about a school that was conducted in the basement of a church, but I ended up realizing that it's secretly an advantage: it means, as the staff stated during orientation, that toys are disinfected at a minimum once a week. The third policy that impressed me was the weekly take-home "library" book; it's a real convenience not having to run to the public library. School instructs in English, Spanish (one class per week), and Japanese (voluntary). My son no longer attends this heartwarming school as we've moved out-of-state but my wife and I often reminisce about & miss this school!

We had looked at other preschool options in Ridgewood and really felt the Ridgewood Co-op stood out…read moreamong them for us. We were very impressed with the staff and the encouraging and positive environment for our child. The staff is very dedicated and, since it's a co-op, there's also a very involved community of families which give the co-op a supportive community feel. You also get the opportunity to be involved in your child's education and the teacher's do a great job updating you and sharing pictures so you never feel like you're missing important developmental milestones. I'll also say, although I might be generalizing, that the parents really care about the overall wellbeing of the school and the children; in other preschools that we've viewed we got the impression that the parents were competitive with each other instead of collaborative which was a differentiator for the co-op. We've had our son in the school for two years and the school has helped him to develop socially and academically. The teachers pay special attention to our child and have helped him to build his confidence and independence. I highly recommend this school.

The music teacher, Mrs. Pillow, is also a talented and dedicated artist who has well prepared and interesting classes. The concerts are great! Everyone has demonstrated so much positivity. I would highly recommend for anyone seeking an educational, learning environmental based on play and friendship for their young child.

The teachers are not only highly qualified but also very caring, thus creating a homely atmosphere that makes children both safe and eager to learn. The curriculum is very well planned to encourage creativity and curiosity by including arts, music, and outdoor play. I loved how my child was encouraged to explore their interests and develop all the essential social skills through engaging activities and playdates. The small class sizes truly made the difference in allowing personalized attention to help my child thrive. What impresses me most is the very strong sense of community among parents and staff. We celebrated milestones together, supported one another, and made the experience so much more special. If you are looking for a place where your child will blossom and develop a love for learning, this is the perfect place. I couldn't be happier with our experience!

When we looked for day cares for our daughter we must have physically visited over 10 of them in…read morethe surrounding area. Nearly every daycare was old, dingy, disgusting and a total lack of cleanliness. (One of them even had a thumb-tack on the floor in the toddler section!) We enrolled her when she was 3 (in 2013) and she just finished her last day. A very sad day indeed. Every class she has been in was very small (around 7-15 kids at most), and the larger classes had two teachers. Between the gym time, Spanish, karate, field trips and all the other extracurricular activities the kids engaged in through the years she was there, I was outright impressed by the level of service for the price. Not only that, but our little girl developed quite well in this school. The teachers worked with her personally, always informed you if something was amiss and took action immediately to ethically diffuse any other situation. Our child was not just a number like how they are in many other schools and daycares. I call this a school because that's what this truly is. This is not just your standard daycare where a random "expert"watches your child in "centers". They actually do care. Let me go through a run down of the value of this school: -Locked doors with security keys where only parents can enter. If someone manages to enter the building, which happens very rarely and mostly due to parents not thinking straight, the staff will stop you IMMEDIATELY and send you to the office. -Entrance DIRECTLY from the back of the school to the playground without having to use a rope for the kids (this was all too common in many of the daycares in the surrounding area and a big concern for us. If one 3 year old runs away from the rope, guess where all the other 10 are going! Thats right, towards a busy road!) -Logging of every event that happened throughout the day. When they went to the bathroom, what they ate, etc. -Ability to warm food (again, this was lacking from a lot of the other daycares in the area!) -CLEANLINESS. At the end of the day, you are smacked with the smell of cleaners. You also will notice the staff cleaning every day after school. This again was something that (while one may think is expected) many other daycares did not have. -Extracurricular activities. Many of the other daycares in the area did not have this and I highly doubt they can even compete. The Apple Tree has yearly field trips to farms, celebrates all the holidays and the teachers work with the children to learn songs for holiday concerts. It quite impressive watching an entire school learn Christmas, thanksgiving and Halloween songs and actually remember the words. Every holiday the teachers hold parties for the kids in class and parents are welcome inside to enjoy after concerts. For Halloween the kids do a "trick-or-treat" in the parking lot, which is situated in the far back of the lot to ensure the safety of the children. -They hold "graduation" every year with a ceremony. -My daughter (at the time 4) learned addition up to 10 BEFORE kindergarten. Her Pre-K2 class heavily prepared her for Kindergarten. She also was able to read words and sound them out just before the start of Kindergarten and now, just finishing, is able to read long books. Not only that but she is incredibly motivated to read and cannot stop putting down books. -Hot lunches (extra money) every monday and friday (mcdonalds and pizza) -VERY VERY VERY understanding of nut allergies. If just one kid in the room has an allergy, no parent is allowed at all to bring in any form of nuts. While our daughter is fine, it's nice to know they care about the safety of other children with these allergies. -since our daughter has been enrolled (which is now for 3 years) the same teachers have been there. They are friendly and her previous teachers always ask about her.
