Testimonial 4

Our oldest son was in the first class at Brooklyn Pre School of Science on Wyckoff Street. We were so thrilled to be part of the first families to experience BPOS. I recall seeing the “Jungle Room” for the first time – it is the only classroom we have ever seen with a whole wall of plants and a beautiful skylight to let in natural sunlight for the kids. We kept thinking – this place is really cool!! Three years later our younger son started attending BPOS. In the years that our children attended school there, we did not have a single morning where they did not want to go. We would even jokingly test them and give them the option of staying home, and every time they chose to go to school. The excitement on their faces when they arrived in school was something to be seen and something we looked forward to each morning. From Ms. Debbie and Ms. Lola to Ms Nikki, Ms. Jennifer, and Ms. Camelia, our boys were always greeted with smiling, warm faces. They were all excellent educators, with impeccable communications skills. We were so impressed with the staff and the very thorough emails that would be sent out each week detailing all of the lessons being taught. Our boys loved all of their teachers and learned a lot from them. Our oldest is now in 2nd grade and still fondly remembers his time at BPOS. He went into Kindergarten knowing how to read and write. Carmelo runs a science enriched curriculum at the school. Each lesson is translated into a creative and exciting science experiment, art projects or songs. Carmelo has a gift for teaching as well as engaging these young minds. Our boys would look at him as though he was a superhero. Both of them are now at PS 261 and continue to attend classes with Carmelo at the Cosmic Cove on Atlantic Avenue. We make a daily decision for our children, and some turn out good and some not so good. Without a doubt, this was one of the best decision involving our children that we have thus far made in their young lives.
