Forest Park School/Beth Jacob

The teachers were excellent and truly made the school. The quality of education was strong, and we were fortunate to have many dedicated educators. Unfortunately, my experience with the principal was very disappointing. He consistently failed to address my concerns and regularly deflected when issues were raised. At one point, he threatened to remove my child from the school simply because I asked questions and requested clear answers—requests he repeatedly refused to engage with. While I would recommend the school based on the teachers we had at the time, many of those outstanding educators have since left, so I cannot confidently speak to the school’s current environment. As for leadership, the principal may appear pleasant initially, but he lacks the interpersonal and communication skills necessary to work respectfully with parents. Families come to schools with genuine concerns, not merely as sources of tuition.

We have been fortunate to have the best memories with Forest Park since 2020. My son graduated from the preschool in 2023 and in addition, we sent both of our children there for summer camp. Everyone from the director to the administrators, teachers and staff become like family. They really take care of the children like their own. The program for summer camp gets better with each year and we couldn’t be happier to send our children there. Thank you Eli and Nino for another wonderful Summer filled with fun memories! We appreciate you and looking forward to next Summer!

Choosing this daycare for my little one was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the very first day, the love, warmth, and care they provided made me feel at ease, knowing my child was in the best hands. The teachers, specially Ms.Diana in class 1, is not only nurturing but also incredibly dedicated, creating a safe and happy space where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I am beyond grateful for the patience, encouragement, and genuine care that the entire team has shown. Thank you for being a place of comfort, joy, and trust—not just for my child, but for me as a parent. This daycare will always hold a special place in our hearts!

This is the best daycare in Queens..they have amazing faculty from the administration to the teachers. They genuinely care about every student and administration like Ms. Dina, Ms. Nino and Rabbi Friedman along with the assistants know each child's name and greet them in the morning..which makes it so special...and my daughter looks forward to coming to school every day. The education is really engaging..teachers are certified and make learning fun and creative, I am really impressed with the school...I have sent all my children here for the last 7 years. Truly recommend and also love the summer camp! Thank you Beth Jacob Forest Park family for your devotion to our children 💖🙏

I am an occupational therapist and have been working for early intervention program with a pleasant boy in Forest Park Beth Jacob preschool about 9 months. It is an amazing place for children to learning ! I observed every staff was polite, professional and friendly. The teachers and teacher assistants are patient worked with kids. The school director was very supportive. We can get good space to do our therapy sessions. That is very important for these special needs kids. My student had made great improvements for his academical skills and frustration tolerance. Also I loved there is yoga class during summer camp. I will highly recommend my EI students to go this pre-school who live at this neighbourhood.
