This school uses the Montessori Curriculum which combines grades but is abused with a large class size (District is well aware and uses the montessori method as as excuse.) If you actually research the schools ranking and test scores you will see how poorly they compare in Westchester and even to other schools in Yonkers. Administration within this school really needs to improve this, it is insulting to the children. The front office gave an attitude most of the time, only one young hispanic lady was kind, smiling and very sweet to the children. I saw many things in this school I shouldn't have in regards to school aides not being patient or compassionate to preschoolers at the start of the school year. You would think kindness to those who can't speak up would be obvious. At my child's new school the attitude and friendliness is subpar. I am so happy I took my child out of this school. I hope this future year is different for those starting or continuing there... Close Quote
