Lexington Avenue Primary Center

We love this school, my kids have A wonderfull time

I can only speak about the Pre-K classes here, but they are tops!! My daughter was in Ms. Escalanta's class, and found her to be excellent. She took a class of 18 students who were 4 years old, many of which (4 or 5) who did not speak english, and by the end of the 10 month school year, all were reading English (not hard books, but beginner phonic books). All kids could count to 100 and group the numbers into 2's, 5's, 10's, 20's etc... She taught all the kids sign language, days of the week, months of the year, seasons, colors and shapes through song and dance. They learned science through hands on learning, and history through stories and the arts. She put on a wonderful Christmas Concert and a splendid Graduation show. All kids learned to write all their letters and how to sit still in a chair at a desk, and also how to move around and have fun. My daughter is now in 1st grade, and already pegged as "gifted" and enrolled this year in a 1st/2nd grade split class at her new elementary school. I found Principal Ms. Michelle to be WONDERFUL!!! Lovely person, who cares for her students and parents alike. I love this school's large outdoor space with a great green lawn, garden, as well as playground area with tricycles. This school is so clean (in comparison to the elementary school my daughter goes to now). I cannot speak of the K-2nd experience, but the Pre-K program is the best I found (and I looked at private, public, and charter options). PS. Ms. Melaine who teaches the 3 year olds is wonderful too. My family friends had their son in her class and loved it!

I think this is a good school but one problem I liked the principle they had before know the new principle mrs Michelle is a horrible principle taking away the activities for the kids and not letting them do their annual Halloween parade I want the new principle out it's not fair
