3 years ago, I picked kinderstar for my first born because of the consistency I see within the school. I was impressed that all the main teachers in this school has been working there for more than 5 years. When I was searching near my home in Chatham, the best schools still have constant replacement of teachers due to "nature of this business" as they explained. This single factor led me to see more of what kinderstar has to offer.
Since kinderstar is near my work, I came to the school constantly to check on my little girl. I found that, not only was she happy when she was healthy, even when she has the infamous baby rash, she was very well taken care of. The infant room teachers took their time and used extra wet wipes to ease her pain and sang while changing her diapers to distract her from the discomfort. The detail of care was unbelievable. When my little girl was in Bright Horizons and The Garddar School at 5 and 7 months old, she always screamed and cried while the teachers struggled with her. It was always heart breaking seeing it and since I struggle with her at home also, I didn't think to blame the teachers. But after seeing how kinderstar's teachers did it, I realized love and extra care on top of their experience with different infant responses is a must. I can see the difference in kinderstar vs the other two schools. The three teachers in kinderstar infant room treated the babies as their own and not just a job.
Not expecting any advancement for toddler classes, I was shocked when my daughter started to speak and sing in Chinese and Spanish at 2 years old. She sang the ABC song while able to point out each of the letters. I was proud because my friend's 3 year old boy still missed identify letters here and there. I didn't expect my girl to learn much until preschool at 4 years old, so I was truly impressed.
Now my girl is 4 years old and will be entering pre school, she was tested with a level of a kindergarten girl. My boy is now 2, and he has a very similar progress. I am writing this review because I am sure of the level of this school and am really happy with how kinderstar gave my kids the head start that they can both benefit from.
Thanks you kinderstar!
