Milestone School in Scarsdale, New York

“The shool is a great step in providing a grounded foundation for your children. The teachers are super involved with the parents and children. Ms. Kathy school secretary is the kindest most thoughtful person who really cares for the children. The curriculum is intense however they offer tremendous support. The only missing component is the extra-curricular activities. I am thankful for the milestone both my daughters attend and they love it.”

“Our experience has been exceptional! The teachers are creative, committed and nuturing which feeds my children's natural curiosity. I'm certain that the core skills they master at Milestone will last a lifetime.”

“Our daughter had an excellent and productive year at the school. Ms. Gelosa was a great educator. Part of their philosophy is loosly based on the Montessori method as well as a concentration on phonics. In addition, their second language (spanish),music,yoga,field trips, Apple/Mac computer instruction are well rounded additions to the curriculum. I believe the only extracurricular activity available is the chess club. The PTA and staff threw some impressive events that allowed parents to socialize. The administration is also great! They showed up at my father-in-laws funeral to show support and a sense of community. We look forward to another productive year at Milestone, it's a special place.”

“I love this school. They are very academic oriented yet nurturing at the same time. Theie is a nice African American population, which is a plus for me. Overall, feel that my child is being well prepared!”

“My three year old is in their stepping stone program. the emphasis of this program is on socializing the child. What I like about the program is that foreign language(French) is introduced very early. what I do not like is the fact that everytime I got to drop-off or pick-up the teacher is always shouting.”

“I have my first child in this school (since pre-k). The director is 'very' on top of how the students are progressing and is 'visible' and accessible. The teachers 'love' their work and their students and strongly encourage parental involvement. My husband and I are very impressed with the level of education that is taught at Milestone. When we spoke to other parents with children in other schools at the same grade level (she is in kindergarten presently), their child is not being taught on the high level my daughter is being taught. We are very happy with this school! I must also add however, that as parents, we make it a point to communicate with the director and our daughters teachers on a regular basis, and this has allowed us to develop a wonderfully communicative relationship with the staff at this school.”
