Murray Hill Wee Ones Club 128 East 36th Street, Manhattan, New York 10016

"Murray Hill Wee Ones Club has changed my daughter's life. We have been there since she was three months old and I've watched grow socially and emotionally. She has so many friends! Community is very important to their Director. She brings her early childhood expertise to the classes. I believe my one year old daughter is talking and walking this month because of the weekly classes! We never miss. I absolutely love the time with my daughter and the other Mom's and caregivers."

"The Wee Ones staff is full of warm and dedicated people. They provided a great space for my son to learn and grow and their teachers were happy to work with us, answer our questions and discuss our concerns. It's a lovely place for the kids of Murray Hill."

"Wee Ones has been a Wonderful Pre-School Experience: Fostering Love and Learning for my children. I am delighted to share my experience, where my four children have been attending since they were one years old. As a parent, finding a pre-school that combines a loving environment with quality education is paramount, and I am thrilled to say that WeeOnes has exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we stepped foot into the school, we were greeted by the school director Kara with warmth and kindness. The staff members have consistently displayed a genuine love for children, creating a nurturing atmosphere that puts parents' minds at ease. Their dedication to the well-being and growth of each child is truly commendable. One of the standout features is its commitment to providing a comprehensive educational experience. The curriculum is carefully designed to cater to the unique needs and interests of children between the ages of one and four. It strikes a perfect balance between structured learning and play-based activities, ensuring that the children are engaged, stimulated, and excited about learning. The teachers are not only highly qualified professionals but also passionate educators who go above and beyond to create a stimulating learning environment. They employ innovative teaching methods and materials that foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in the children. My children have developed a love for learning and have made remarkable progress in their cognitive, social, and emotional development under the guidance of their dedicated teachers. Moreover, the facilities are adorable. The classrooms are bright and filled with age-appropriate learning resources. The outdoor play areas is safe and thoughtfully designed, encouraging physical activity and exploration. The school also places great emphasis on maintaining cleanliness and hygiene, which is of utmost importance, especially in a pre-school environment. Communication between the school and parents is outstanding. Regular updates on the children's progress are provided, and parent-teacher meetings are held to discuss any concerns or queries. The staff is always approachable and willing to address any issues promptly, ensuring a strong partnership between parents and the school. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend WeeOnes to any parent seeking a nurturing and educational environment for their children. The school's loving atmosphere, dedicated staff, well-rounded curriculum, and facilities make it a standout choice. I am grateful for the positive impact they have had on my children's early years, setting a solid foundation for their future educational journey."

"Wee Ones is a true gem - a warm, nurturing, and enriching school. The teachers and principal are caring, knowledgeable, and responsive. Our son went there from ages 1 through 4 and came to school every day with a huge smile on his face and left school each day bubbling over with talk about the day’s activities. We love running into other Wee Ones families in the neighborhood and appreciate the close friendships he has made there. Wee Ones definitely gave him the tools and confidence to excel in kindergarten and beyond."

"I am SO grateful for Wee Ones! My two children both attend / attended and we've had a wonderful experience every year. My daughter attended during the pandemic and everyone at Wee Ones went above and beyond to provide her a safe, yet still fun and interactive learning environment. All of the teachers at Wee Ones are great - engaging, energetic, and truly passionate about teaching little learners (both academically and socially/emotionally). My son currently attends, and while he is on the younger side for his year, the teachers make a point to differentiate the curriculum if/as needed, and to do so seamlessly. Each week my children come home with new skills: skills it is clear they are learning at Wee Ones. Colors and counting in 2s, to letter recognition in 3s, to improved verbal and motor skills overall - and all grounded in creativity, exploration, curiosity, and fun :-) Both of my children are happy and excited to go to school each day. I love the weekly newsletter the teachers send home with detailed descriptions of what they did that week and accompanying pictures and videos. These allow me great conversation and reinforcement touchpoints with my kids at home. And now having two children who have gone through the program, I am impressed to see the teachers change and update things each year, which again, is a testament to their enduring commitment to and passion for teaching. One of my favorite things about Wee Ones that I didn't even realize I would value so much is their backyard courtyard. As long as the weather is good, the teachers make a point to take the kids out back, and knowing they are having structured outdoor activities in a confined, safe space, gives me as a parent great peace of mind. Wee Ones also provides varied Extended Day options, which again, is not something I thought much about before enrolling, but I've been so grateful to have them, and they've allowed me to customize my child's experience and schedule each year. I originally chose Wee Ones mostly because of proximity - it was closest to my home in Murray Hill - but I have been beyond impressed and thankful for the experience my children have had, and I feel very lucky that Wee Ones is our neighborhood preschool. My children leave Wee Ones with stronger academic building blocks, but even more importantly, as happy, confident little people ready for the next step of their school journey. Wee Ones has undoubtedly shaped my children in the best ways possible, and for this I will be eternally grateful. THANK YOU, Wee Ones!"
