My 3.5-year-old started with summer institute when she was 2.5 and then went on to the traditional 3k program. She has grown so much and the teachers and school administration are so transparent and open to feedback. The academic is rigorous and yet appropriate for the age group. We trek from West Village where our home is to the school and it's worth it!

This is my son's first time in school and he is currently in the early childhood campus in the DOE 3K program. He loves the school and adores all the staff. We are so grateful that our teachers, Ms.Wendy, Ms. Jackie, Ms. K, and Ms.Lau are so nurturing and attentive to every child. All the staff in the school care for all the children. As always with small kids, there were many details we wanted to communicate to the teacher. I was each time surprised by how the teachers found time to carefully respond to every message. The teachers took great care and loved organizing the classroom activity areas. The emphasis in this school year was on making friends, teamwork, and communication. We are loving our experience here at Transfiguration and it has been wonderful.

I could not recommend Transfiguration enough. From day 1 when we did our tour it was a fantastic experience. If my family lives in the area I'm sending all of my kids to their schools.
