Parent Testimonials:
"I am just so thrilled with this school and grateful that I found a healthy environment for my child, I can't praise them enough."
"In a hectic environment NYC parents are faced with, Melissa is probably the most reliable, helpful and calm caregiver I've ever met. My children love spending time with her because she is both happy and confident around them."
"Deb was wonderful teaching my 4 year old son the beginnings of writing and math. She knew exactly how to teach him at his level and stretch him to think about problem solving from a 4 year old's perspective. Deb is a patient, caring and attentive teacher and I always knew my son was in good hands as I dropped him off daily for preschool...exactly the kind of comfort a mother needs when leaving a "little one" to be cared for by others"

Study Skills for High School Students
Courses / Programs
Developing good study skills in high school will prepare you for academic success in college. Learning how to effectively manage your time, how to prioritize your work and how to retain important information are skills that will be of huge benefit to you throughout your life.
While you still have the support of your teachers in high school, you are expected to think for yourself and to take control of your learning. Whether you're a freshman or a senior, you can improve your study habits by making a few changes to your routine. Your academic success is entirely up to you!
Try to study in quiet environments that are free from distractions - you can't concentrate effectively if you are constantly being interrupted. Have a dedicated study area at home, and use your school library also. If you have disruptive classmates, try to sit as far away from them as possible so you can focus on your teacher.
Create an efficient and realistic study schedule for yourself and stick to it. Study for blocks of 20-50 minutes and make sure you take plenty of breaks. Try to be physically active during your breaks but make sure you return to your study!
