Mrs. Konzack is great with allowing my son access to extra work to continue practicing leading up to his SHSAT exam in Ocotber.

I Highly recommend 3C Elite Tutoring for all parents who want their children to take their SHSAT with confidence!

My child recently completed the Serious Fun Musical Theater Summer Camp. In this camp, he was…read moreinvolved with all aspects of putting together an original musical theater production. He had a great time, and learned a lot while working with his fellow students and the wonderful teachers and staff. He couldn't be more proud of the musical theater production they all created together, and that families got to attend at the end of the program (the production was fantastic!) Thank you Serious Fun, COMPASS NYC and DYCD for providing such a quality program which keeps the children engaged, and allows them to express their creativity through acting, singing, dancing, writing, set and technical design and so much more.

If you're looking for a good, quality preschool then this is the only place for you…read more My daughter attended prek here and had the best educational experience I could have hoped for. Every single adult who works at this school is amazing and caring. The director walks the hall every morning greeting the students, all of whom know him by name. The teachers were carefully hired and clearly love their students. My daughter had a tough time adjusting to school - the teachers were patient and caring and provided enough support to get her through those rough times. The director was encouraging and after a pretty difficult separation one morning told me to call him when I got to work so that he would Skype me to see my daughter and make sure she was doing well. This is the type of family you wish you could leave your children with. This place provides quality UPK using a play based and hands on approach to learning. This is rare in an age where academics with heavily on education. Our Savior ignited my daughter's curiosity. There was no pressure on her to learn to read for example; as a matter of fact there were no lessons at all. So I was pleasantly surprised when she picked up a book one day and simply started reading! She was learning through play, which is how all children should learn. I am devastated that the year is winding down to a close, but feel fortunate and blessed that we found a place that really helped my daughter grow. We will always have fond memories and I look forward to sending my second daughter there when it's time for prek!

Do NOT send your children here! Safety is a HUGE concern as owner, Mya, does not have full time…read morestaff at front desk. Anyone can enter the daycare using the parking lot elevator downstairs and walk straight into classrooms. Mya gossips and talks badly about other children's progress or disabilities to other parents against HIPPA laws and confidentiality. She claims to have a kitchen but in reality only has a fridge/microwave/sink. Doesnt follow food menu and serves food you would not want your kids to eat. Milk is promised for lunch but confirmed by multiple staff members it is often SPOILED and snacks are EXPIRED. We caught Mya lying regarding many issues and the one we cant overlook is having an illegitimate UPK class. She lied to parents about having a DOE approved UPK class when DOE confirmed she did not have one. Now parents are stuck mid year with a class mixed with 3 and 4 year olds and a teacher who is not certified. Do NOT be tricked! She will promise things she wont deliver!!

Our son spent more than two years at Mushroom House on a full-time basis, and we could not have been more grateful for their level of care, dedication, and communication regarding our child's wellbeing and development. A genuinely positive culture is shared among their administrators (both Julia and Maria are simply amazing) and teachers (all of whom our son adored). Our son has many allergies, and we always felt 100% secure in knowing that his safety was their number one priority. Our children have been to numerous daycare centers over the years, but none stack up to Mushroom House. When our youngest turns two (the minimum age to enroll there), we have zero doubts about where to take him.

I was first worried about my little one not being able to adjust to the new daycare but everyone including teachers, director, and receptionist are so friendly which made my daughter easily transition. Everyday when we drive here my daughter says "Yay!" and claps. I am grateful to have met such great teachers and staff. As for the curriculum, my baby learns new numbers and alphabet every week and brings home wonderful art that she did in class. I am sure everyone has different experiences but so far, my experience with Mushroom House Daycare has been wonderful.

The following is based on my opinion and experience of the CITG Community House Nursery School…read moretouting themselves as a progressive school. Pros: Small Class size - Student/Teacher Ratio is high. Four teachers to about 22 kids per class. Although, I am not clear on what licenses/permits each have. After School programs and camps - I have heard good things about them and the fact that they have them is a plus for many families. Large Classrooms - large classrooms with lots of light, many books, toys, and learning/ activity centers. Great Location - Located in Forest Hills Gardens. The school also has ample outdoor play space. Excellent Enrichment - The *PA WAS fantastic at fundraising, helping to support substantial enrichment opportunities (e.g., visiting nutritionist, visiting Noguchi Museum staff, winter/end of the year show, yearbook, etc.). Great Community - My experiences with the families has been extremely positive. The Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, and neighboring communities are replete with a diverse group of pretty friendly families who are very involved in their children's education. Cons: Non-progressive curriculum - If you are looking for a "progressive" curriculum that is "positive discipline" focused, then, in my opinion, you will not find much of that here. It is a problematic issue if they tout themselves as "progressive" school, which they did at the open house we attended. The school is play-based, in part, but with a lot of "structure" and "discipline" weaved in. There was a lot of prescribed art (not process based) and, overall, it's not child-centered enough. They like to say that they "borrow a little from here and a little from there" but, at its heart, it remains traditional. Punitive discipline- As in old traditional schools, they make the nursery kids line up and wait for their teachers before having them walk quietly into their respective classrooms. Kids are also separated based on gender, depending on the activity. Nursery school kids who were "disruptive" or "crying too much" or "emotionally distraught" were regularly taken out of the classroom, so as not to disturb the "learning" of the other kids. If you want to continue to tout yourself as progressive, then take a page out the DOE's mandate. Its two very helpful Early Childhood Learning Benchmarks effectively state that the learning in a nursery-school and pre-school should solely be focused on normalizing and validating kids' feelings and emotions, setting gentle limits to help kids develop a positive sense of self so that they can learn to manage their behavior positively when they are developmentally ready to. To enact a one-size-fits-all punitive approach has long been established as useless and harmful. Once we realized that our child was being regularly punished, we were only then told about their punitive behavioral management approach, which involved giving the nursery kids a "choice" to either comply or to sit alone in either a red or blue chair (deceptively called "cozy corner"). This "choice" would be given to the kids when they were unable to "get a hold of themselves," were disruptive by talking or calling out during say circle time or when they otherwise needed to "calm down." Such unreasonable expectations virtually guarantee, if not sets them up for, failure. What 3 year old do you know that can sit still or stay quiet on command? These approaches single the kid(s) out in front of all of their peers. It's a dunce cap 2.0. Such approaches can inadvertently teach kids nothing but shame and that they are "bad." It's false choice which essentially amounts to a "time out," is counter to progressive education, and it undermines nursery school kids' nascent sense of self-esteem. Leadership issues - Leadership needs to be reconsidered, and the school must give families a voice. *Dismantled PA: Unbeknownst to many, at the end of the year in which my child attended, the school just dismantled the PA. By most accounts I got wind of, parents were shocked and had zero say in that decision. Confusing Admissions Process - In my experience, admission requirments were poorly and inconsistently communicated. They do not have the same age cut-offs the DOE. Plus, you must submit a waitlist card for each program the year before to be on the waitlist to get in. Cost: I think it's expensive!
