366 Oakdale St, Staten Island“My son loves going to Oakdale Academy, he always has a smile when I come to pick him up , and when I drop him off he’s always happy to go to school. Audree always keeps me updated with my son and is so sweet.”
“My son had a wonderful 3s teacher Miss Erin. She showed kindness and patience and was extremely supportive while he was learning to speak. He is currently in the UPK class with Miss Tonia and is learning so much and loves going to school to see all his teachers.”
“I attended as a child and now my children do. It’s a warm, supportive and wonderful environment. It feels like home everytime I enter that building. Truly a wonderful place to be.”
“Such a special preschool.. all child-made art work.. child-led projects.. constant changes of units of studies and thematic curriculum.. lots of classic song singing.. cute song videos for parents.. festive holiday celebrating.. lots of writing skill practice.. adorable Mother’s/fathers Day class.. Halloween parade.. and lots of little adorable additions like the teddy bear curriculum and sending mail from your child and handmade gifts.. impressive graduation.. my child graduated 2 years ago and I still appreciate the cuteness of this preschool.. he grew so much that year <3”
“This is one of the best day care center, my grandson attended there, and he loved it very much. He was so excited to go to school every day. The staff there are wonderful, they have a great curriculum and their prices are the best in the neighborhood. I highly recommend this school.”

“I sent my daughter here for upk and prek4, I am so pleased!! All the staff here is wonderful and kind. My daughter would come home and talk about all the teachers that helped and what she learned. We especially love Ms Carina!! She was my daughters teacher 2 years in a row and it was so hard leaving her to go to kindergarten.They go above and beyond for graduation, which is usually held across the street in the Hilton. It was such a memorable experience, it felt like a high school graduation. It was absolutely beautiful 2 years in a row.The staff in the office is also helpful and accommodating.I am so happy we chose kiddie academy for her and we sure miss it.”

200 Boscombe Ave, Staten Island“Pretty good school in my opinion!I went here from pre-k all the way through 5th grade, both my parents and I enjoyed my Christian education and the amazing teachers and staff at the academy. During those years I was there, the classrooms were warm and welcoming, the cafeteria and gymnasium/auditorium was always kept clean and neat. The curriculum I was taught during those times were pretty good, perhaps more emphasis on the math or science concepts would have been more beneficial leading into middle school but overall I felt I have always learned so much each day. The teachers and staff members have instilled good values in me and students there as well.Although I wished there were always more organized team sports or athletics in the past, I do see the school has made continuous efforts and formed competitive basketball and archery teams recently. Something I believe would make the school better is to have a more diverse student population of different ethnicities and backgrounds. A diverse student population helps young students learn about having an open mindset that would ultimately prepare them for the real world.I have made a lot of long lasting friends at Gateway and still keep in touch with many of my teachers today! I would recommend this school if you are a family who enjoys a friendly atmosphere than compared to other larger private schools around Staten Island.”

125 Greaves Ln, Staten Island“My son has been attending KA for just over a year and he absolutely loves it there, as do I. He started when he was 1 and while he transitioned to being in daycare, the teachers were loving and warm. It was a relief to me that he felt safe and cared for. During thunderstorms, I would see him cuddled up in the teachers lap. As he got more comfortable, his language exploded and we are amazed by the things he says at 2 years old. He comes home with cute crafts and will often tell me "I had fun!" when I pick him up. All of the teachers say hello to us when they see me at drop off or pick up and are overall very welcoming. Pat, the assistant director, is an absolute gem of a person. I was a nervous wreck as a first time mom sending my son to daycare but she comforted me and never made me felt overbearing or annoying with my questions. Kathi, the director, started a few months after my son and you can see how much she really loves the kids and also cares about their family. We are moving next month and we are SO sad to have to pull our son out of KA into a new daycare. I truly feel comfortable with my son in their care and more importantly, he feels safe, cared for, and is having a ton of fun while learning.”
“I've been going to the JCC of Staten Island since I was a child I said my kids to JCC of Staten Island I think it's a great experience I have great memories and I highly recommend everybody to experience this inventior”
“Absolutely amazing place for kids to grow. I love the progression from Mommy and Me classes into their first time at school programs. Ms. Lucie, Ms.Fran and Ms.Beth have worked with all 3 of my children over the years, two of which have been diagnosed with autism. They always created a warm and inviting environment while offering professional advice and strategies to help us as parents navigate the toddler years! Most recently, I had a birthday party for my daughter that was turning 4. She is autistic as are many of her friends, so we weren't sure how everyone would do being this was most first experience at a friends birthday party. Every child was full of smiles , not a single meltdown! The teachers truly respected their needs and created an environment that was enjoyable for all. From planning to execution they made it the most stress free party planning experience for me! I would definitely recommend them for children under 6 yrs old.”
