Park Street Academy - Luau Day at Summer Camp

Park Street Academy

My son recently graduated from Park Street Academy and truly had the best experience. The teachers…read moreare so loving and knowledgable, patient, and truly cared for my child. His classmates were from all different backgrounds and the school really celebrates inclusivity. My son became more open and social and learned so much, it's made the transition to Kindergarten super smooth. He was always excited to go to school! I highly recommend PSA!

As of this June my twin sons are graduates of Park Street Academy (PSA). Without a doubt, PSA is a…read morespecial place that lovingly nurtured the boys while encouraging them to achieve their best. PSA's devoted teachers supported my children throughout a rigorous academic program that included science, math, American Sign Language, social studies and fine arts. Having completed two years at PSA, my children will enter kindergarten this fall knowing they have accomplished developmentally appropriate but challenging tasks. In addition to ensuring that students achieve academic milestones, PSA teaches children to be worldly citizens and considerate members of the community. Their students are aware of a great big world behind their town but they appreciate the opportunities and worth within reach. Procedurally, PSA is an efficient business that effectively handles business matters. Its school policies are reasonable and we appreciated their efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of its students, teachers and staff. PSA and its community of students, parents, teachers and administrators will always be a part of our lives. When I cried at graduation (truth), they were tears of joy that my children were thriving and simply, growing up. But they were also tears of appreciation and gratitude for PSA. Our entire family is prepared for kindergarten and beyond!

Wow where do I even begin. I still suffer ptsd from working here. This place is run like a corrupt…read moremilitary school. Way too many people "in charge" telling you conflicting directions. I was bullied terribly by staff because I was white. They expected teachers to snap at children and get in their face and yell. Pretty much against everything I stand for as an educator. They would hire random waitresses off the street with no education degrees to teach the kids. These "teachers" had no idea what to do and were always in power struggles with the kids or putting their hands on them inappropriately. (Grabbing them by the arm, pushing, I even saw one drag a boy by the arm down two flights of stairs) I blame the school for hiring inexperienced and unqualified staff. I now know why they do this. Someone like myself with a degree knows what's not acceptable teaching practice and they don't want to hear it. They do not care what staff have to say they only care that they do what they tell them to. They expect teachers to be there from 6am to 6pm some days even later. It's disgusting what they demand from teachers. If anyone voices concern they suddenly disappear aka get fired. Just because these kids live in Newark doesn't mean they deserve corporal punishment and being treated like dogs! Between suffering from reversed racism from staff to being told I have to treat kids like they aren't human beings, to complete burn out- I have been placed into therapy to try to recover from this! I get physically ill thinking about how these schools act like martyrs teaching low income cities but if people knew what really went on behind closed doors they would be sick! Thank god they got a new building because the old one was covered in cockroaches, mice, and rats. Poor, unhealthy, unsafe conditions. At first I was shocked there weren't law suites or attention drawn to these schools but then I realized it's because they hide/cover up what really goes on behind closed doors. I've never been part of a school that didn't treat children or adults like actual human beings. I feel sad for those kids and the few good teachers there. In addition, kids with behaviors roam the halls freely not attending class bullying innocent children, students with special needs do not have their modifications from their ieps met/followed, and children are being left alone in compromising situations with adults. I've seen teachers ridicule students in front of the entire class, even yelling at them for not understanding things. Hopefully during the pandemic this school went remote so the kids and good stuff are safe.

Some of the staff might genuinely be incompetent. My grandmother was there a decade ago for a…read morestroke, and had a very unpleasant time with the nurses. Just last week, she suffered another stroke and was placed back in kessler not even 3 days ago. The staff at the front desk are the only good ones in the entire building I've interacted with. I got to the floor my family was on and stood at a help desk for 2 mins as no one stepped up to ask us if we needed assistance. There was 4 nurses behind the desk talking and laughing. I found my way to her room myself. My grandmother's bed alarms went off multiple times and no one at any point came to help check. It peaked this morning when we found out that the mandatory medication she has to take twice a day to prevent post-stroke seizures was NOT GIVEN TO HER in the morning because she said she didnt want it. My grandmother is not in the right mind to make these decisions. My grandfather who has power of attorney approved all the medications she has to get for at least 1 weeks in recovery. Only one single nurse seems kind and actually capable there, and she was only there checking and doing rounds. The rest seem like they want to do anything but their job, and they left my grandmother crying and upset after she was given her medicine and strapped into a chair. The medicine is known to cause disorientation, and being thrust into a new environment you would expect some emotional distress in the first few days. I cannot stand this place or the majority of the staff and its not surprising the only positive reviews come from people who are receiving simple treatment.

I Bring my clients here for physiatry annot to be confused with similarly sounding psychiatry) and…read morephysical therapies. I must say the facility is nice. The staff are way nicer than the smaller kessler in South Orange where similarly I take my clients but the front desk people always have an attitude and dont take a number of insurances. Dr. Kong here is very involved even just for routine visits and is very knowledgeable about the best way to care for the needs of people with Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida and other muscle and skeletal issues patients may have. If all the providers are anything like Dr. kong, i think the work they do is great and always greet my client who aren't in pain, provide answers for me and my clients. Again the campus itself is nice with plenty of parking and it appears that it is well kept which is always good.

This summer, I attended an event on the grounds of Montclair community pre-k. It was an outdoor…read morebarbecue with many vendors. The pre-K staff had a booth set up and I visited it. My daughter happens to be approaching the pre-K age. I WAS (keyword is WAS!) considering Montclair community pre-K as one of our options. I approached the booth and began looking at some of the literature. One of the staff members approached me and immediately said "do you live in Montclair?". I said no. She proceeded to tell me that my child was not eligible for financial aid because we did not live in Montclair. (FYI, I did not ask about financial aid. We DO NOT even need financial aid. I did not get the chance to ask any questions. Her first thought was that we must need financial aid because we don't live in Montclair). I thought to myself OK, not the best way to sell your institution, but whatever. I proceeded to ask some questions regarding the institution (i.e. classroom size, teacher to student ratio, curriculum, etc.) She then AGAIN continued to tell me how my child would not be eligible for financial aid because I did not live in Montclair. I tossed the brochure on the table and walked away. Your institution just lost a potential new student. If this woman spoke to anyone else, whom does not live in Montclair, i'm sure they were turned off by her abrasive and dismissive attitude. You may not want her to continue to be the face of your institution.

This is my son's second year at the Pre-K and I truly love this school. His teacher this year is a…read moremaster teacher that is able to embed academic learning within themed-based units. The students most recently opened a cafe in their classroom where they used math, reading and writing to create and run the cafe. Most importantly, he has consistently learned about empathy and compassion for others, in particular, his classmates. Character development is explicitly taught and experienced in weekly activities. Truly all the staff is incredibly kind and wonderful. I find it shocking that there is another review that felt differently. The directors of the school, not only know my son's name that goes to the school, but also the names of my two smaller children. When you come to the pre-k, it feels like family.
