Re: Kiddie Kollege

I was thinking of enrolling DD there when she was 3. I went to visit on a summer day - when they had the camps going on. The doors were wide open - not locked. (both front and back doors)There were kids in the building. I really did not like that and that was the main reason I did not enroll my DD there. I asked the director if the doors are usually open and she said they are always locked. Chat Icon . There is also no AC there so that was the reason the doors were open.

It seemed like a good school - but I was completely turned off by that incident.

I sent my DD to abigail bottoms, also in Patchogue. Loved it!

I sent DD there for 1 year. Now she is in the free pre-k program through the town. But I know at least 5 people who have sent there kids there and have never had a bad experience. We went down for a tour right when one of the classes was having snack. They had Katie sit right down at the table, introduced her to the class and she had snack with them while we took a tour. DD loved it and I just thought it was really nice.

Did you ever check out Chloe's school in Medford, Kiddie Kampus? I believe I've suggested it before to you. It's the perfect combination of play and academic. You'll love it, I have for the past 4 plus years.
