Preschool - SK
(5) Student Experience
My children love the teachers and staff and also enjoy the challenging work. We are very happy with our decision to send our children to YMS!
(5) School Leadership
The administration is great and all incidents are recorded and talked about with us. They resolve conflict with an understanding to both parties.
(5) Teaching
The quality of teaching is optimal and the knowledge that my child learns is above average in what they teach at other schools. My children all receive support to improve their self esteem and let them reach their full potential. Teachers are extremely patient and very helpful.
(5) Academics
The academics are high as the children learn at their own pace not according to what they should know because of their age, Therefore they have the ability to learn things faster then others if they reach that level etc. The Montessori approach has always been my choice for academics as I am a Montessori alumni and I did very well in schooling.
(5) Extracurriculars
There are plenty of programs available to the students which range in different interests.
(5) Students
YMS is like a family. All the students and parents are very caring to each other and all value and respect the school.
(5) School Life
My children love going to school. They are very upset if they miss a day. They communicate their enthusiasm around their work, their teachers and their classmates.
(5) Community
Parents are always welcome to participate and feel like they belong. The administration makes sure we all feel equal and involved with their monthly newsletters etc. The school strives to foster a sense of community rather than to be just an average school, and if there ever was a perfect environment for the little ones in your life, YMS is as close as it gets.
(5) School Location
It is located in a very peaceful and not busy at all, which makes it a great environment for learning.
