Raven Learning Center

Not only did my niece attend Raven but now my own 7 month old daughter is there too. This is my first child and leaving your most precious possession in the hands of someone else is one of the most important decisions a parent makes. At 3 months old, my baby girl was in another daycare that ended up being a nightmare. The did not change my baby often causing her to have «accidents» weekly, there was no communication among staff and they didn’t even know my daughter’s name after almost a month. Raven is like family. Not just my baby girl’s teachers know her name but everyone does! They are clean and very sanitary which is major. They foster respect and nurture learning. I recall my niece doing homework early on and she loved her school. One of the reasons I wanted to have my baby be cared for there. There is constant communication between the faculty and parents either with weekly letters, emails or from the director herself. A++

Such an amazing experience. My son Logan was in a middle of a transition, from NY to Miami, because my husband and I was assigned to a few new projects. We enrolled him here and couldn’t believe this was a hidden jewel. From the outside it looks small but once you’re in, it’s a kids’ wonderland. Two buildings (an Elementary school next door), a computer lab and colors bright enough to awake a child’s energy like never before. The teachers are big on educational development and encourage reading from an early age– while having fun. They have this montessori feel but very traditional! He was doing Yoga, Art, Computer Lab, Science, iPad Learning & more at 4 years old. I was able to visit the class, while in session, and loved his teacher. Mrs. Archer was patient, loving and was able to guide me with what I should practice with him at home. Happy they are now offering free UPK. The children in Canarsie need this. They put on these annual street fairs for the students and all the children in the community at the end of every summer. It’s all free. Children bring blessings– congrats on all your hard work.

Heed my WARNING: never judge a book by its cover. You see these kids dressed so nicely in their uniforms going to Raven Learning Center and on the inside of the school behind closed doors there’s no learning going on. There are some nice teachers but the director and her administration are the worst and they do some sneaky undercover things that affects your child’s learning and their development.
When you walk into Raven Learning Center you will hear the director tell you how nice an small the class sizes are and how friendly the staff is and then when you register your child it’s a whole different story. They bunch 2 and 3 classes together with 3 teachers and expect you not to find out. How do I know? They gave me the wrong class picture, and there was my child’s teachers with the baby class. Didn’t think I’d find out but I did.
When something happens in the school with your child, they will do what that can to cover it up. Teachers fight and argue in front of the students and you only find out after your 3 year old comes home to tell you what’s going on. They NEVER approached me about the situation that took place in front I my 3 year old, I had to come to them and ask about what my child was telling me. And even then he told me that my child could not have possibly seen the fight between the staff. No apologies and I think they handled the situation poorly. I could go on and on about the foolishness that happens at this school but I refuse to waste anymore time on this for profit unprofessional organization.
HEED MY WARNING AND FIND ANOTHER SCHOOL TO SEND YOUR CHILD TO.
