“For a little kid, I don’t think it is easy to start the school. Going somewhere new, being alone there with a group of strangers, without being with mommy and daddy and not knowing what is next. It was not easy for us/parents either. Our son is our first child. We made some research, asked some recommendations from the other moms we knew. Then before classes started, we, parents had a meeting with the teacher. We didn’t need 5 min, not even 3 min. to see we were in the right place with the right people. Ms Kathleen was so adorable, it was obvious that she “really” looooves with being kids and looooves what she is doing. It is not a job for her. It is a part of who she is. Kind, sweet, patient, experienced, has perfect balance between gentle and still have the authority on the kids. I would almost cry when I was listening to her. thought about how lucky the kids to have this experience with her then thinking other kids they never had a chance to meet her, some even have horrible memories somewhere else.
Ms Tatiana was also our son’s favorite person, so sweet, so gentle, so understanding, just perfect for little kids. Our son was talking about her a lot when he came home and shared a lot with her.
After that meeting, we felt better, stress went away. He got used to, enjoyed being there, learned a lot in many ways. He loves both Ms Kathleen and Ms Tatiana, misses them, asks once awhile if we can go and visit them. That experience also helped him to adjust to kindergarten easily and smoothly.
My advice is register as soon as it opens, you don’t want to miss it. We can’t wait our 2nd son to go to their class, He needs to grow up a little bit more :-)”
“The Connection Preschool is truly an outstanding program! Ms. Kathleen and Ms. Tatiana are incredibly caring, loving, and absolutely wonderful with the children. Their warmth and dedication create a nurturing environment where kids feel safe, happy, and excited to learn.
One of the standout features of this preschool is the variety of enriching activities it offers. The monthly “bus field trips” to Bryant Park are such a fun and engaging way for the children to explore and connect with the world around them. Additionally, the weekly “special” classes—ranging from swimming and ninja warrior to art, dance, and more—are unique and provide kids with opportunities to develop new skills and interests.
This program is thoughtfully designed, and it’s clear that the staff is passionate about fostering both academic and personal growth in the children. I highly recommend The Connection Preschool for any family looking for a well-rounded and loving educational experience for their little ones!”
“Our experience with the Connection Pre-K class in the past 2 years was absolutely wonderful! The two teachers (Ms Tatiana and Mrs Kathleen) were nothing short of amazing. Their warmth, dedication, and creativity made the classroom an exciting and nurturing environment for the children.”
My son loved attending class every day, and it was clear that he felt happy and supported. The wide range of activities they planned kept him engaged and eager to learn. From arts and crafts, yoga, swimming to interactive storytimes and fun educational games, each activity was thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity and encourage development.
The teachers also fostered a sense of community among the kids, helping them build friendships and develop important social skills. It was heartwarming to see how much effort they put into making each child feel special and valued.
As a parent, I felt confident that my son was in great hands. I’m so grateful for the positive impact they had on his early learning experience and would highly recommend this Pre-K program to anyone!”
“Our daughter attended The Connection Preschool for two years, and it truly became a second home to her. She not only excelled academically but also grew socially, emotionally, and physically. The nurturing, patient, and loving environment provided her with a strong sense of security and encouragement, creating an ideal atmosphere for learning and development. The curriculum laid a solid foundation for her success in kindergarten, while further fueling her passion for learning. She enjoyed engaging, hands-on lessons that were interactive and fun. The specials The Connection offers creates an extremely well-rounded and unparalleled preschool experience. Our daughter learned to swim, practiced skills in gymnastics and yoga, and expressed herself through theater. The expertise of the staff — from the lead teacher and assistant teachers to the enrichment specialists — truly sets The Connection apart as an exceptional program in our community.”
“We moved to Summit at the end of the summer and The Connection Preschool program has been instrumental in our son’s transition to a new town and new school. He loves his school and all the friends he’s made there. I especially love that the kids have access to a huge gymnasium and pool through their program.”
“The Connection has been such an incredible experience for my three-year-old daughter. She’s learning new things every day, excited to go to school every morning and has really thrived with her social skills ever since we started in September. She loves her teachers and can’t wait to come home to tell me all about swimming, yoga and all of the activities she gets to do during the week. The school is flexible for days when you need your kid to stay late or be picked up early which is a game changer, especially for working parents. I could not recommend The Connection more and am so thankful for the experience they’ve provided our family!”
