Star America

To all prospective parents/​students, it has been brought to my attention Dana, the previous director is no longer employed at Star America and Ms. Niki has replaced her (and is successfully turning the program around). She has reached out to make me aware and sincerely apologized for what I experienced under Dana’s poor direction. Any of my previous comments and reviews were in response to Dana’s false accusations, not Niki. As I’ve stated before, I can only hope everyone can get a positive experience from this school and I think now is the time to do so. Should anyone have any questions, feel free to message me.

This is a really great place. I enrolled my six month old son few months ago. Whenever I am there the babies are all happy as could be with no tears in sight! The staff is really nurturing, loving and patient. I have found the staff really fast to respond to emails or any other inquiries we have. I’d would absolutely recommend.

No words can express how happy I was with Star America. The staff members are very caring and always put up with my many requests. Every month there are activities for me to complete with my child, which I enjoy very much. It helps me bond with my child and be a part of my child’s education. The new enrichment classes are also a bonus, since we did not have to pay extra. My son comes home every Tuesday showing me he can point and flex and the new ballet moves he learned. He recent took up Spanish as a foreign language and we learn a few words from him. We definitely recommend this preschool!

We couldn’t be any happier with this school. The amount of activities they plan throughout the day is amazing. The daily reports are a great way for parents to see what their child has done while they were there. I def recommend this school to any parent who is looking for a reliable school to send their child.

I feel so luck to find here since I spent 1 month searching around Mid– town. After visiting 6 preschools, Finally I selected this one because The facilities are nice especially in such expensive area. Tuition is fair, the most important is the staffs here who impressed me a lot! From day one to today, my son always came back with new diaper which kept his skin in a conformable and dry condition. The daily report provided by head teacher gave me a very clear information about my son’s physical and literacy improvement and i can use it to help my home-​education. Appreciate all teacher has done for my son!

This is the best pre-​school I could ever think of. My Maria has been there for 3 years, 5 days a week and she loved every minute spent there. The teachers are fabulous! They have given us so much love and support. They make this place feel like home. If not this school and its patient, enthusiastic and creative teachers, our Maria wouldn’t pass the Gifted&Talented exam scoring 98^th percentile. My wife and I truly appreciate all of their hard work! I can’t imagine a better place for a child. I’d like to give special thanks to Ms. Paulina, Ms. Miriam and Ms. Banu. All above could not have been accomplished without you!!! We miss you a lot! Adam and Ewelina
PS:
I have just read below an exchange of emails of someone who didn’t like the school. I’m shocked. I can assure all readers that this person is just harassing the school with no reason. I know all parents that had their children in the same class that my Maria was in and I know that all of them absolutely love the school. We (i.e. parents) have met a few times off school, in a park, just for our kids to play together. We have talked about SA endless times, everyone loves them. I sent my child to SA 3 years ago based on recommendation of my best friend (named Marquez) who had 2 of his kids there for 3 years. He absolutely loved the school too and this is how I found it. I will ask him to write about his experience here to prove what I say.

Do yourself and your child a big favor: go elsewhere.
The director of the school has been changing the staff members and teachers regularly which we found to be concerning. We then heard from other staff members about licensing issues.
The director of the school kicked us out of the school the same day we called the Department of Health since we had a bad feeling about staffing and licensing. We got an e-​mail with «proof» that there were no violations and a letter stating that they are terminating our child’s enrollment effective immediately!
Can you be anymore unprofessional than this???
We asked to speak to the owner and we were told he is on vacation and when I asked to speak to him on the phone he never answered the phone.
I can’t wait to see the response I will get form Dana who cannot take responsibility and will tell you this came from management and she has nothing to do with that. Our beautiful child is enrolled in a great school around the corner. In short, we are happy to be out of this school and happy to be in a professional run business.

Our daughter has been attending Star America three days a week for the past four months. She started in the Itty Bitty Room and is now in the Bugaboos Room.
All of her teachers are fantastic. They are warm and affectionate and I trust them completely. They’ve all made the effort to get to know my daughter and take an interest in her personal development. She loves coming to school and clearly has had a great time when I pick her up.
The school is very accommodating to our schedule. My husband and I both work full-​time and it’s amazing to have found a place so easy to work with.

I have gone to plenty of preschool prior to enrolling my son in this school and I must say this is the full package! This Preschool covers numbers, letters, science, lots of art and many more… The director and teachers makes it a point to display all of the kids art work and does seasonal/​event bulletin boards! This is an amazing experience for my son. The school is well-​managed by the director and even though the daycare is big it has accommodated all of my wife and I special requests personally. I can’t say enough about this wonderful establishment. I can’t wait for my second child to go to this school.
