It is expensive and not worthly The director and most staffs are very unprofessional, moody,unfriendly and lack of respect to parents. For the amount that you are asking, they should at least provide a few certified teachers. The cirriculum is very poor so the communication. Children are in the room watching movie and play most of the time.<ul><li><b> OVERALL School Rating</b>: 2 <li><b> Health and Safety</b>: 2 <li><b> Environments</b>: 1 <li><b> Teaching Staff</b>: 2 <li><b> Teacher/Child Ratios</b>: 3 <li><b> Curriculum</b>: 2 </ul> this center is one of the worst care center in NYC.

I have to say it was the most amazing experience for him. He loved his teachers and I saw him come a long way from day 1. He attended summer school as well and after a full year of pre-k into summer, he has come out learning how to read/write, add/subtract in double digits which is well into 1st grade material. The environment is great and teaching phenomenal. I would highly recommend any child to attend pre-k here!<ul><li><b> OVERALL School Rating</b>: 5 <li><b> Health and Safety</b>: 5 <li><b> Environments</b>: 5 <li><b> Teaching Staff</b>: 5 <li><b> Teacher/Child Ratios</b>: 4 <li><b> Curriculum</b>: 5 </ul> My son attended his pre-k year at the Star America branch in Brooklyn on 9th Avenue.

My son loves going here and I think part of it has to do with his teacher, she is great and I have to mention that Ms.Denia is one of the best teachers that i have come across. I do recommend that parents reconsider this school because I can say so much has changed and the staff and curriculum has improved tremendously and I hope they continue to hire quality staff that love their job and are dedicated to the children.<ul><li><b> OVERALL School Rating</b>: 4 <li><b> Health and Safety</b>: 4 <li><b> Environments</b>: 4 <li><b> Teaching Staff</b>: 5 <li><b> Teacher/Child Ratios</b>: 4 <li><b> Curriculum</b>: 4 </ul> I have 2 children, one attended Star Preschool 3 years ago and I was not happy at all with both the staff and the director of the school at that point, but I decided to give this school a second chance and was very happy to see so much has changed, both the director and the staff are terrific.

There are much better child care centers and for what they are charging parents, it isn't worth it. My child started there very young and in the beginning I was happy but now I see what they are lacking. The teachers morale is low because the pay is low, they don't have the staff development needed to offer great child care and the owner is clueless, all he cares about is making money not about the children. Parents don't be fooled by he show they put on for you when you visit, this is one of the worst daycare centers around.
