Birch Family Services -Early Childhood @ The Washington Heights Education Center — Local services in New York

I participated in a school tour for my son at this institution. The individual conducting the tour appeared to be somewhat disinterested, as I was left waiting outside for a duration of 10 minutes before gaining entry to the building. During the tour, I was shown two classrooms where my son may potentially be placed, as well as the basement gymnasium. It is worth noting that access to the gym requires navigating several flights of stairs, which students will be expected to descend unassisted.

As we were preparing to ascend the stairs, I encountered one of the teachers from the classroom who was determinedly urging a child to use the bathroom by clapping her hands in front of their face. Unaware of our presence behind her, I realized at that moment that I would not feel at ease leaving my son in this environment. Consequently, I promptly exited the building without further inquiry or divulging any additional information about my intentions.

My twins (Alex & Sandra) went to this school for two years. They were in separate classes so I met different teaches from school. All of them are giving so much attention and afford to kids. We got huge progress in their development and even daycare teacher was asking references for their kids, seeing all that development progress what we got from Birch School. I'm so grateful for my twins to be there. All the staff is like a family for kids. Thank you for Birch Team, I wish we could stay for all grades with you.
