This school is very nice. Clean and caring. They took care of my child very well. Daily lessons, daily crafts brought home. Seasonal and holiday events like parades. Daily outdoor activities.They are not very strongly structured except for breakfast, lunch, naptime. A lot of free playtime where kids have space to explore and discover. At times, I loved that aspect and at times I wished there was more curriculum.Ms. Varda, the owner was very very nice and accommodating. This place is old fashioned. Ms. Varda has her charm about her. At the end of the day, I can tell that she is genuine and is doing her best for the kids. Very lovely.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANY PARENTS WHO ACTUALLY CARE FOR OWN CHILD -VERRY UNPROFESSIONAL. TEACHERS DIRECTOR OR THE RECEPTIONIST . THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE RENEWED ,COSMETIC WORK PLUS RENEW FURNITURE..... THEY LOOKING TO MAKE EASY MONEY WITHOUT PUTTING ANY WORK OR EFFORT TO THE SCHOOL OR KIDS !!!

2018-01-18My daughter has been attending Forest Park Preschool since October 2016. Let me just say...her teachers are THE BEST! My daughter was potty trained within a few weeks of starting daycare! She had just turned 2! We are so happy! I am one of those parents who is really picky and do not like leaving my kids with strangers haha...but they really take care of all of the kiddos in the class. Overall, her teachers are wonderful and I feel comfortable leaving my baby girl in their hands. She looks forward to going to school everyday and I love that!

2018-01-20If you have ever had a child in daycare you know how hard it can be to find the right one. I am so glad we have this facility. The same teachers who taught my older kid now have my two toddlers in their classes. While other facilities have constant turnover this location has teachers that stay well past the industry average. Its important to me that these teachers have been with the company for so long because not only do my child benefit immensely education wise but it also creates emotional stability for them. The teachers know my children, they know their learning habits, they can tell when they arent feeling well. They have bonded with my children and my children love them. These caregivers are with my children more so than I am so it is important to me that my kids have consistency. Other facilities have teachers coming and going every 3 or 4 months and the children suffer. Imagine getting a new mother every season and never know what happened to the last one. This facility is not just a daycare. It is a warm comforting environment where my kids are loved and well educated.

2017-03-08My daughter really enjoys this school. She is in their preschool and always tells me about all the activities and arts and crafts they do. I love that they have a Jewish program that teaches my daughter lots of songs and meanings of all the important holidays. And the fact that is close by in rego park is convenient. They have after school and early stay too which helps when you have a long day at work. Thank you to Mrs. Tamara, Mrs. Sandy and Mrs. Vanessa for taking such good care of my daughter!!

2017-03-08Well run and organized. I love that my kids are provided with breakfast, snacks and lunch. The extended hours are a life saver for my family since we work early in the morning. There is a lot of communication with the teachers and parents. Structured programs and great learning environment. I sent all my three children to this school and couldnt be happier.

2018-01-23I cant put into words how grateful I am for this school and the teachers. I appreciate their patience, generosity, and the attention they give my children. I have remained working and living in the area so that my 3year old can continue her education at Forest Park preschool. I love that the classes are intimate and the teachers get the chance to know your child, their strengths, and weaknesses which creates a better experience for the children.. My daughter LOVESSSS her school and ALL of her teachers!

2017-03-07We love Forest Park School. My son was 2 years old when we started. His first teacher was Mrs. Heidy. She is sweet, caring and knows how to work with kids of this age. My sons vocabulary increased right away. He learned to recognize colors, shapes, numbers, letters. Every teacher my son had was a true professional. The school provides delicious and nutritious meals, fun and educational activities. Great summer camp. My son is 8 now and in a 2nd grade, but he loves to come back to Forest Park School for a summer program. And since weve always had such great experiences with Forest Park School, it was no brainer to register our daughter there once she turned 2. She is in Mrs. Heidys class now and really enjoys her time there.

2017-03-07My son started going to Forest Park School at 18 months and loves the daily activities so much that when we pick him up, he takes us on a tour of what he did that day. Coming home he sings the songs that he has learned and correcting me if I sang incorrectly. It is such a blessing that he is able to learn so much at such a young age. His teachers are kind and very knowledgeable in early childhood educational needs.

2017-03-09The Beth Jacob Forest Park School is a wonderful working and learning environment for staff, students and families alike. The administration is warm and knowledgable and takes pride in their school. They are also very good at communicating with families and staff to give the students a happy and successful school experience. The teaching staff has the educational qualifications, knowledge, and professional commitment necessary to promote childrens learning and development.The UPK program implements a creative curriculum that is consistent with its goals as well as the NYS Common Core Standards.The program also encourages each childs sense of individual worth and prepares students for Kindergarten and beyond. Beth Jacob is the right choice for both parents and kids.

2017-07-11Great UPK program! Teachers are warm and welcoming. Good educational curriculum and social skills are taught. My son is now attending their summer program and they have an inground pool in the backyard with a playground. The administration is very transparent, honest and accommodating.
