My son attend Genius Kids preschool in Ardenwood. If I could give more than five stars, I would! I remember being very nervous from moving him from a family daycare to a preschool but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. No joke, my son was seriously reading at 2.5 years old! Most importantly, he became a confident public speaker as well! He loved, loved going to school !Today, he is an extremely high achieving and confident junior at Irvington high school and I truly credit genius kids for giving him the best foundation possible.

I want to start off by saying that I was a student at this preschool, and I am now currently 12. I remember this preschool very clearly, and there were not good experiences. I do not mean to be rude in any way but I am telling the truth. This preschool is very bad. From my point of view, there was nothing taught, the teachers were not professional, and the principal was rude. In the mornings, there was a slide show that everyone had to watch and it showed shapes and objects (such as ducks and blocks). After, you had to go with a group into a classroom and an "instructor" was told to "teach" us. The bathrooms were the worst part of my experience. Every single student was forced to go at the same time, and there was ONE toilet. The girls had to get in a line and one girl would do there business (everyone could watch), then the next girl, until all the girls were finished. Then the same thing would happen with the boys. Any gender was allowed to see a child do their business in the toilet, it was absurd! In this school, there was SO much competition, it was a joke. You may think that this is good for your 4 year old child, but it is not, I have walked in their shoes and it was just stress. The principal was plain rude. She forced us dance to these Indian songs most of the day. Since only a few of us (including me) in the school were not Indian, it was very awkward. I remember once, I fell onto cement and cracked my chin, I had to where a funny looking band aid. I went to school with my injury and I clearly remember a teacher say to me as she laughed, "What's on your face?", I cried so much that day. Whenever I complained to my parents about the school, they would talk to the principal, and the principal would act innocent and sweet to them, and I was honestly shocked. One time, a child "passed gas" and the principal made us stand in a line, and she picked us up and smelled our rear ends to check who had farted. The child who had passed gas was sent to the principals office. I still feel sorry for that kid. I cried so much when I was in the school because of the kids because they were excluding me since I wasn't Indian like them. My mom would drag me to school when I cried in her arms. If you are a parent that has a child, and you want to put them in this school, please don't, it is not a good school and your child will not benefit anyway what's so ever.

We absolutely swear by Genius Kids. Both our kids attended and the foundations for learning and public speaking imparted by the staff and Ms Rennu are unrivalled. Absolutely would recommend to all parents!!!
