Romper Room in Williston Park

Hello!

I was wondering if any can provide feedback about Romper Room? I am considering sending my son in the Fall but don't know anyone who has gone there before. Would love to hear any stories.

Thx!

Both my nephew and niece went there. I dont have any real feedback, but I guess my SIL must have liked it to send both kids there.

Romper Room in Williston Park

they have no playground or outdoor area to play. a friend sent her son there. He was crying everyday at drop off and kept trying to leave the room. The staff took him out on "walks" without the mother's consent - the roads around it are extremely busy so in my opinion that was very irresponsible

We were also looking at Romper Room for DD for nursery school. There were pros and cons when I went
-I just stopped by and the security to get in was great - buzzer/door locked/cameras ect..
-They gave me a tour right there and then - I was escorted around with the receptionist and shown all the rooms - I thought it was great that I went unannounced and they were ready right there and then.
-The director of the program met with me for almost an hour to describe their entire program (again I showed up unannounced)
-I did not like that it seemed they had a lot of field trips during the school year - hicks farm/fire house/police station/ect... - some might look at this as a plus but it makes me nervous that DD is so young and will be going on a bus to such busy places during holiday times ect....
-there is no outdoor play area so they walk to a nearby park - I was not a fan of this as well - romper room is on a very busy road way - again maybe I am being paranoid but it makes me nervous
-love their academics - numbers/letters/science/math/second language/monthly cooking activity ect....thought they promoted the basic learning building skills plus creativity
-it is very expensive (in my opinion) -their prices are on the website
-all teachers are CPR certified

If you have any other specific questions feel free to FM me.
