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.

The staff in the twaddler (2's) room where my student is are top notch. The teachers are caring, efficient, nurturing and provide a positive learning environment and the administration runs a tight ship. When I come in they make sure I sign in and have a visitor badge. I go to many daycares and I do not see this type of security at any of them. If I was looking in the area for childcare this school would be my number one choice.

We emailed back and forth about what schedule and payment preference. Didn't hear anything back after a day so I texted. After 3 days from the original email asking for the enrollment documents and information I got an email with an attachment for payment authorization and payment breakdown. Ms. Monica wanted my bank account information and as of this still post never answered or sent anything about enrollment documents. I never had a daycare ask for payment before sharing or giving me the documents I needed to complete. I was not asking for my child to start before I paid. I just wanted to know all fees I had to pay up front and what documents needed to be filled out. Not sure if she asks for payment first from everyone. The email interaction lets me know all I need to know about this place and I'm glad it happened because when you go there everyone smiles and says the nicest things. I can see from the reviews and the way I was treated this place is not about kids. It's about money. I'm very happy I will not be spending my hard earned money at this place. Yes, Ms. Monica my hard earned because I would have be paying out of MY POCKET. and if you didn't think I could afford it should have said that. I wouldn't have wasted my time.

As a parent I can't help but feel the need to write this review to warn parents about this…read morelocation. I had to remove my daughter from this school after I popped in unannounced and saw something that was completely unacceptable done to a child. I reported it to management and Brianne handled it so poorly and was very dismissive about the entire thing. Im not sure why they continue to have her in management after so many negative reviews about her. My daughter started April 1st there and every day I would drop her off she would cry hysterical and beg me not to take her to that school. I thought it was just her having trouble adjusting to a new environment but when I would pick her up she would have tears dried on her face like she's been crying the entire day. Once she saw me she would get up in a panic and run to me and say mommy let's go home now and I didn't realize how serious it was and how traumatized she was until I took her out of this location and put her in another location. She has been in her new school since May 1st and has not cried once during drop off she even asked me if she could stay longer when I went to pick her up which never happened in 4 weeks of her being in the Hackensack location . She told me she doesn't want to go back to her old bubbles and friends school because the teacher is mean and that her teacher will get really mad when she cries . She says the complete opposite about her new teacher so clearly the problem wasn't her adjusting it was the environment and teachers in that location. I'm thankful I randomly popped in that day because if I didn't see what I saw I would of probably kept her in this location for longer thinking it was just her adjusting but seeing how happy , excited and comfortable she is in her new school I know that it was not her having trouble adjusting she just didn't feel safe there. So parents if your kid is telling you they aren't happy there please listen to them.

Classrooms are not too big and not too small. Food is mostly organic, no pesticides no hormones and so on and so on. Non toxic flooring, lighting, paint and furniture. I love the owner Lucy and basically anyone she hires. I saw another review saying that she goes through staff a lot, but frankly I'm glad she doesn't keep any bad apples. Kids are learning sign language and a little bit of Spanish. Lots of great activities for kids, few different playgrounds, indoor and out, music and dancing. My son loves this place and learning so much more than he ever did at place like Jumping Jax, were he was stuck with a teacher "who loved him so much" and thought him nothing. Teacher who barely spoke any English... Ms Lucy maybe you should start a private school as well, this way we can stay with you all the way till college ? Something to think about...

The prices are very fair and the curriculum, while fun, often is disorganized and forces learning down their throats when children should enjoy themselves and learning will come naturally. It isn't the worst, and it isn't the best, but due to the worst turnover I've been a part of, this aspect may irk parents. Excellent infant care but the preschool area needed work when I left.

I can't say enough good things about St Marks Cooperative. This school is a hidden gem that I…read morewished I had found with my first born. Our first experience was in a parent and me class which met once a week. I felt welcomed by the teacher and the other parents. The children are introduced to circle time, snack time, turn taking etc. Parents are given an opportunity to socialize and talk with the teacher. It gave me a sense of community and allowed me to feel comfortable sharing concerns and parents an opportunity to learn from each other. It was a no brainer to have my son enrolled in the 3 year old class for the following year. My son is thriving in the class. I love that the class sizes are small, the teachers are certified and many have children who are alumni themselves. The directors are familiar with not only the children but the families. They help coordinate services and keep lines of communication open. I feel supported and know that my child is learning through play and hands on experiences. I love that this school is a cooperative as it gives a unique opportunity for parents and caregivers to be involved in the classroom. This has allowed me to observe my son in social settings and allows me to get to know the teachers and fellow classmates. If you are considering a pre school for your child I can't recommend St Marks Cooperative enough. Your child will thrive and learn and grow which will ultimately help prepare them for kindergarten.
