Newmeadow, INC.

My son attended preschool at Newmeadow and he loved it. He loved the school, the teachers, and his classmates. Everyone working there was kind and helpful. I felt like he was in good hands each day and we got frequent pictures of him having fun. The parking lot can be a bit of a bear to negotiate during busy times but honestly nothing the Newmeadow staff can do.

We have been sending our kids to Newmeadow ever since my older daughter was eligible for preschool program two years ago. We were not sure how she will take it, but Newmewdow staff really made that easy for us. Although bith of my kids had communication difficulties initially, staff made sure kids felf comfortable and secure in class environment.They have been very patient, understanding and helpful to all kids including those with autism and other special needs. They ensure every child's all aspects of development are met. This definitely helps all these children prepare for future educational challenges.School environment is always safe and friendly. Entire staff is easily accessible and classrooms are well organized to cover all students' needs. It gives us immense satisfaction as a parent that we made a right decision to enroll our kids at Newmeadow.

Our company handles daily Janitorial Service, periodic floorcare service as well as occasional restoration work for Newmeadow. The preschool is well-run with smart caring staff members who care about their students, employees and vendors. We enjoy the partnership created with Cindy Boisclair, Maureen Zinda and others. Great school that we are proud to support!

The most unprofessional school I have ever come intact with. The teachers are soulless for working there. The administration is so unsupportive and sees the students as dollar signs.

Don't know why I didn't think to review this sooner. It has been a couple years since my child left the school but this is my experience. My son has autism and is nonverbal. He started in the Clifton Park/Malta school and was there for a couple years with no issue. However they have a second site in Fort Edward that I notice is somehow not listed and never had been. When switched to Fort Edward because it was a smaller classroom we began to have issues. My son came home with finger shaped bruises on his arm with a note about how he got bruised because he wouldn't do something (walk the track). I have never left bruises on my child trying to get cooperation, no one else should be. He then came home multiple times with bruises over the following weeks with no communication. No one in the school cared. Had meetings about it, got no where. Even reported it to the police. My son can't even tell me what happened. Pretty much this school teaches compliance and fitting in a box and if your kid isn't then apparently they'll injure them to get that cooperation. Would never recommend this school to anyone because clearly my child wasn't safe there.
