Albany Preschool has some of the best pre-school teachers out there. My daughter is currently in her second year and she has developed and learned so much. She started the school not speaking any English as we are a Spanish-speaking household. Not only is she now fluent in English but she is also able to sing songs in several different languages as well. The school is fully play-based so the kids are allowed and encouraged to play, explore, paint, dance and express themselves. The school incorporates science, math and reading throughout the day while playing and exploring. Teachers and families are from all over the world so I love the international flair the school has. There are two different sessions, morning and afternoon so you can choose one of the two to attend or your child can go all day. The school is a coop so parent involvement is required which really helps to foster community involvement and a safe, loving nurturing environment. I highly recommend APS and suggest prospective parents to take a tour of the school. It is also one of the more affordable pre-schools out there!!
Both of my older children thrived and loved APS. The teachers are awesome and truly love playing with preschoolers, many of them were APS parents originally, some used to attend APS themselves. Kids are left to be kids at APS, they learn through observation and doing things, but no one makes them learn a letter or a number or any thing if they don't want to, which was important to me. Lots of open ended toys and materials for the kids to experiment with.
Albany Preschool was a part of me and my brother's life; years later, it was a part of my son's life, and now it's a part of my Wife's life. It's a rock solid nurturing, learning environment with teachers that leave a long lasting impression on developing individuals.
My daughter spent a year here and loved it. She absolutely thrived in the play based environment. It was great getting to know the other families too and feel part of the community. whole heartedly recommend!
