As a parent of a 7-year-old attending Fairmeadow, I can't express enough how delighted I am with the quality of education and care provided here. From the moment we stepped into the welcoming atmosphere of the school (sometimes the Principal would be standing in front of the entrance greeting the student and parent(s)), it was evident that this was a place where children thrive. The dedication of the teachers is truly remarkable, as they not only impart knowledge but also foster a genuine love for learning in every child. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to be engaging and age-appropriate, allowing my child to explore various subjects while developing critical thinking skills. Moreover, the emphasis on character development and social-emotional learning ensures that students not only excel academically but also grow into compassionate and empathetic individuals.Beyond academics, the school offers plenty of extracurricular activities, school events, and opportunities for students to discover their passions and talents. Whether it's participating in sports, or engaging in creative arts, there's something for every child to explore and enjoy. The sense of community within the school is palpable, with parents, teachers, and staff working together to create a supportive environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. I couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact this school has had on my child's development and am confident that it's building a solid foundation for my daughter's success. We definitely will enroll our 2 year-old to attend pre-K.

Many great students and teachers, some better than others.

If your child ends up having any problems out of your control, the staff will be relentless in their handling of the situation while treating it as if it is the parent's or student's fault for their unfortunate circumstances. In my time here I have also witnessed mistreatment by both faculty and students toward students with disabilities, not understanding the accommodations required for those students to excel in a safe environment. I have friends who still talk about JLS staff and teachers in their therapy sessions well into their college years.
