Deepest gratitude

by

Name: Angela C.

It’s been two years since my family moved away and my kids stopped attending Oneonta, but I feel compelled to leave a review. I am an experienced educator but a newbie in the field of early childhood education, and these days I often find myself realizing what an amazing little school Oneonta was for my children. Both of them had learned so much in pre-K (while having a lot of fun) that by the time they started formal schooling they were so well-prepared and are doing well academically even now. Oneonta offered enriching curriculum and activities, field trips, and great family engagement events, and thinking back, I am so grateful that my children had the opportunity to receive an early childhood education at Oneonta. Ms. Audrey, Ms. Fiona, and the rest of the staff who engaged with my children every day–if you are reading this, Rylan, Ezra and I would like to express our deepest gratitude.

 

Happy I found this school

by

My daughter recently graduated from Angels, she attended this school for three years and left more than prepared to start kindergarten. The curriculum is top notch, children began to learn to read and write at four years old. The teachers do work with each child based on their levels of learning so no child falls behind. The school also offers extracurricular activities, such as dance, science and soccer.

I was surprised by the negative review regarding teachers ignoring a crying child, frankly, during the time my daughter attended Angels, I never witnessed any of this, in the contrary, I witnessed caring and nurturing teachers helping children with all their needs. Also, they helped my daughter develop social skills as she was very shy when she first attended and after being there for some time, slowly came out of her shell.

As a parent, I would never recommend a school I do not feel comfortable with, this school offers a positive environment that allows children to grow, learn and become independent. Thank you Melina and staff for the fond memories, in particular Ms. Patty and Ms. Terry.

Not a good fit

Director seemed very snippy on our visit. Seemed inconvenienced. Doesn’t bode well for dealing or communicating with issues in my opinion if someone has an irritable personality. Perhaps it was a bad day?

I’m an educator so I tend to have high standards of schools and professionalism. I know with my students and parents I need to maintain a cheerful and welcoming demeanor, even if I’m having a bad day.

Not a good fit for my child.
