  My child has been attending this school since the summer camp. At the previous school, they often felt bored because there wasn't much variety, but here they are learning so many different things and truly enjoying it. The teachers are very kind and educational.

  My son started at Palisades preschool at 18 months old. I couldn't be more happier that I chose such a wonderful school. The teachers, the staff, everyone is so amazing. my son always comes home happy from school and he's always so excited to go to school to learn and that just gives me comfort knowing that I'm a working mom at work all day. The teacher constantly keeps you updated on how your son is doing throughout the day on pro care which I appreciate and anytime I need to reach one of the teachers or any staff member they make it super easy and that's one of the things that I look for. My son has learned and matured so much since starting this school. I feel like this school gives my son a great foundation for when he starts kindergarten. I highly recommend if anyone is looking to put their child in a school where they want to feel comfortable and knowing their child is safe at all times.

  My granddaughter is just finishing up her first year at Palisades Preschool in the Toddler 2s program. She started in September with three full days a week and loved it so much her parents increased her to five days.<br><br>This was her very first time away from home, and the teachers were incredibly kind and reassuring. We were worried in the beginning about how she would adjust, but they sent sweet photos of her being comforted and held, and thanks to their warmth and patience, she adjusted beautifully. Before long, she was eagerly looking forward to school each day!<br><br>She adores all the special classes, but music with Miss Momo on Fridays is definitely her favorite. One of the highlights of the year was the holiday show they performed for the families. Seeing those little ones dressed as elves, singing, and shaking their instruments putting their whole hearts into it was absolutely precious.<br><br>Our granddaughter has truly blossomed at Palisades Preschool. She's become quite

  Our daughter is just about to finish her first year at Palisades Preschool in the toddler classroom with Mrs. Bonardi, and we truly couldn't be happier with the experience. From day one, the teachers and administration made us feel at ease. They are warm, nurturing, and genuinely invested in every child's growth.<br><br>Our daughter has blossomed over the year, growing more confident, curious, and social every day. The curriculum strikes a perfect balance of play and early learning, even at the toddler level. We especially appreciate the school's focus on kindness, social-emotional development, and community values. It's clear they're helping children grow not just academically, but as caring, kind individuals.<br><br>As a parent, one of our greatest joys is asking our daughter if she loves school and seeing the huge smile on her face as she responds with an emphatic and whole hearted "Yes!!!!" She puts on her backpack eagerly and loves going to school because each day is an adventure

  As a former New York State certified educator (Birth-Grade 2), I feel deeply disturbed by what I witnessed. I interacted closely with a child who had clear developmental delays--delays that should have been identified, documented, and referred out by any qualified early childhood setting. Unfortunately, the preschool in question failed to take appropriate action, potentially delaying critical early intervention services.<br><br>In my professional opinion, this was not just an oversight--it was a systemic failure to safeguard a child's right to support. Early childhood educators have a duty to recognize and act on developmental red flags, and in this case, that duty was not fulfilled.

  Palisades Preschool is truly the best of the best! The curriculum is rich and hands on, the special programs and events are amazing and most importantly, the children are happy and loved! As a former kindergarten teacher, I take great pride in the decisions I make about my son and his schooling. I am BEYOND pleased with his PPS experience, specifically his time in Class 4 this year. His teachers are truly outstanding. The curriculum is so rich and diverse, from fine motor activities, to monthly themes and the most amazing art projects, I am truly impressed with everything he is learning. Most importantly, his confidence is BLOOMING thanks to his amazing teachers and their constant love and support. The children are guided and supported based on their individual strengths and needs and that's what makes all the difference! They are all SO happy and their friendships are so genuine and sweet. I couldn't have imagined a better fit for my son and I am beyond grateful for his amazing first
