Reviews of Manhattan Nursery School (Kindergarten)

Vivian Wang

Please tell me if there is anything better than you child tells you over the weekend that he wants to go to school because he likes it so much! Yes, Manhattan Nursery School is that good. I absolutely LOVE it. The staff are respectful and professional, I will get notified whenever anything is taking place at school. They're also in close touch with me regarding my son's intellectual, social, physical, and mental development. Not just me, they do that for every parent. The teachers are super responsible, caring and devoted, they write daily observation list, letting parent know how their children are doing at school, like how much food they eat, how long they nap, what kind of activities they play. Speaking of the activities, they really have a lot of fun activities for kids everyday, and I even want to join them!! The classroom is cute, the environment is clean, did I mention that they have a cool indoor playground? As a overprotected mother and picky human being, I am so happy that I found this school. Highly recommend it.

my son goes to this nursery school and he loves it. I sent my son to different nursery schools before, but I wasn't happy. This is only nursery school that I am pretty satisfied. Teachers are pretty kind and know how to take care of kids including my son. I only have good to say about this nursery school. I highly recommend it.

Very unprofessional. Going there was a waste of time. I would not recommend this school. Horrible teachers. Very unfriendly.

Not sure why there are so many good reviews for this school. The director of this school was highly unprofessional, the assistants seemed to have lost passion for the children, and I ended up taking him out of the school after couple of months. Enter at your own risk.

Hi reader Because I really appreciate MNS's services, I decided to write a review (for my 1st time ever) :) I would highly recommend MNS for these reasons: - Professionalism of the directors/staff but they are friendly also. - Following up with parents (via online app, daily uploading my child pictures during activities, daily reports have many important details about my kid's day,...etc) - Intellectually interact with kids (Using five sense learning,... ) - Safe and Clean Environment. - Open air trips during every week (library, water park, ...etc) - Amazing Indoor play room too. - Problem Solving for any concern happens. - Perfect location, so easy transportation.

I have been taking my daughter to this school since March of 2018 and I am so pleased with this school. My daughter has gone to two schools prior to this and this is where she will stay until kindergarten. All the staff is so lovely and my daughter absolutely loves going to the school. She looks forward to it. She runs up to her teachers and gives them hugs everyday before school and is learning so much. My daughter is treated amazing and as a mother I can really appreciate that. I recommend this school to anyone!

MNS has help improve my daughter confidence, Motor skills and social skills. She loves music and art. My daughter wants go to school on the weekends. She absolutely love her teachers Ms. Alice and Ms. Linda. Thanks to them My daughter loves books now. Overall, MNS is great and I would definitely refer friends or co workers who work in or close to midtown to consider this school. MNS Kindly welcomed my HRA voucher which is a huge plus. Thank you MNS ❤️

This is my second review as we now sadly left as my son graduated pre K to go to Camp before going to Kinda-garden in September. He attended this day care for over 3 years and I truly have only good things to say about it. I was lucky to get a spot when needed and have being always taken care of by the team and management when needed. ( late for pick up , special requests and more ) From owner Ms shim and her daughter Ms julien , managing this pace and caring for all kids as their own , to the teacher that are well educated , caring and provided excellent care for my child. I can't thank the teachers enough for teaching my child manners and educating him to get ready for school. Ms scharlene, my favorite of all, Ms chatna, Ms Julissa, Ms Alexisia. Ms. Saima and Ms. Carla, amazing teachers , Everyday teaching the kids different sports, acting , play and movement. My son never wanted to go home as it was so much fun and feeling warm as a home for him. The daycare is clean, the kids are having fun and learning to be part of the verity of NYC cultures as the day care have all cultures mixed students. I will forever miss this place as it was our home for over 3 years. If you think about this place for your child , be sure it's a very good one. ( when I have more kids they will be going here for sure) Don't mind the bad reviews , people have different experiences , what matter is that most people here had a good one. It’s funny I just Read one parent say her kid want to go to school on the weekends too and I smile as I though only mine say it This place is top ! Good luck to all

As an educator, I am highly selective of where my child should attend school. I believe I made a great decision choosing Manhattan Nursery. The staff is friendly , supportive and well-educated in child development. The teachers are caring and attentive to each child. My daughter has learned so much at school. I am truly amazed at how much she has advanced in her social skills, language and ability to listen and follow directions. Currently, my daughter is participating in a music class there and loving it! We are excited for our apple picking field trip next week too. This is a great place for children to grow and learn. I highly recommend Manhattan Nursery School.

If I could give this school zero stars, I would. The “site supervisor” displayed deplorable behavior. It was clear that not only is she prejudice but also a bigot. Her behavior towards my best friend and myself while in the presence of my daughter was unprofessional but also discriminatory. Upon calling this center to gain child care for my child after securing a position in the building next door; I find this center to figure out the process. I gave my child’s name and my name and asked about the school and how the tuition would be paid. Not only was the “supervisor” trying to imply that I had an ACS voucher. She also called the cops under the pretense that I was a “threat” to the other students after I asked to speak to the principal because of her racist behavior. I wouldn’t advise you to enroll your child here if you truly care for the safety of your child. From my experience as a business owner and an experienced mom, this wouldn’t and shouldn’t be your first pick.

This school is amazing. I have had two year's worth of interactions with the school and I have always had great experiences and support with/from the head staff (principal and director) and teachers. The administration go above and beyond to make sure that the children are well taken care of and safe. They put attention, detail, and care into the work that they do, which is to make sure that the children enrolled there get the best early childhood care and education possible. The teachers are extremely well prepared and equipped to educate and guide the children. They have very well laid out routines and schedule followed to the tee. I have had two children attend this school and they have been doing very well, happy, and growing up to be well rounded kids now ready for kindergarten. I could not be more thankful and admirable of everyone who was involved to make the experience here so positive and memorable especially Julianne and Ms.Shim at the front office. If you want your child to have a meaningful early childhood experience, this is the place to go. I suspect that any parents who have complained do not understand their own roles enough to appreciate their experience here or they also expected to be babysat in addition to their children. Know your roles, do your part, teach your own children well at home beyond the school hours and your kids will thrive further and beyond. If a child needs additional services such as special needs support, speech etc, the teaching staff and administration are very experienced and knowledgeable and they are willing to guide you through any process needed to help keep your children safe and sound as well as thrive. Some of the teachers have worked there for more than 10+ plus years, if that is not enough evidence of the good support and treatment that they receive from the school and not to mention their wide berth of experiences with many, many young children. Loyalty says a lot. In any case, I would recommend this school to any of my friends who are looking to place their children in a great environment to grow and thrive! I am very thankful and appreciative of my experiences at Manhatten Nursery School! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
