Maimonides School

Date: July 2023. We absolutely love Baldwin! My 4 year old reads, and it began with Phonics at school at age 3. They use fun activities like preparing a huge birthday card to encourage writing, reading and drawing. Social emotional development, learning through play, varied fun crafts and activities, fun and informational themes for each week and so many fun events throughout the year to involve families. The principal and staff really care about the students. Safe drop off and safe pick up. My kid loves school and looks forward to it. Teachers also recognize different paces or stages of development and learning and pace the teaching as per the child's stage. Scribbling or pretend writing is also encouraged as a step towards writing. Communication with teachers is easy and transparent. Date: July 2023

Some teachers are wonderful. It is NOT a school for high needs children although it says it is. Children do not receive the correct pull-outs for therapy according to their IEP's and the school is very hard to work with. I have had children on IEP's; this school outright lies through their director of SPED. They do not follow laws or regulations and my child is caught in the middle. His academics are well below average and they are telling me he's doing fine. No, he isn't. So if your child has any special needs, be forewarned.

My son had the worse life experience !! I will never recommend this school for American kids with Arab ethnicity !!! Racism is huge there and they won’t care about those kids !!! We are so DISGUSTED !! Our son suffered from a Severe depression while he was there for just one month and he’s only 10 years old !! They mad evil hate school !! We were so worried about our kid and did our best to make him feel better and happy again as he was always “HAPPY SWEET FUNNY LOVE LEARN” that we did not have time to take a legal action against them, we should have !!

Through our family’s journey at Heath, I was astonished about how much our children have grown. During Covid, the teacher engagement and overall quality wasn't as high as during in-person learning, but besides that Heath school has been an amazing opportunity for my children. We also had a teacher that missed most of the year, but the administration handled it well

The leadership are inexperienced and allow disruptive behavior to take place.This was a wonderful and highly competitive school until the previous principal left two years agoThe enrollment has greatly declined.I can not recommend this school now
