[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I toured Karasik last year for my typically-developing toddler and was very impressed with the director and teachers I met. The center had a nice neighborhood feel, and even though it was an older building, the facilities inside seemed great. That said, we paid our deposit and 18 months later still haven't heard anything.

We ended up sending our kid (currently almost 3) to Kensington Forest Glen. We were on the wait list since before he was born (it's walking distance from our house) but the center opened up an additional 2-year-old classroom this year, so there are now three 2's classes and most folks on the wait list got spots. We LOVE this center. Our son has totally thrived---his teachers are fantastic, particularly the lead teachers (one of whom has like 3 different degrees in child development), they get outdoor time twice a day (very important to me), and I'm constantly impressed by the ingenuity and creativity of the activities they do. It's a play-based center but they work in things like science, math readiness, etc., plus tons of music and movement, sensory play, etc.  My kid adores it and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day.  The prices, while not cheap, are very reasonable for this area. I would DEFINITELY get on the wait list if you're interested--most families we know used in-home care/family members/nannies when their kids were infants and switched to KFG at age 2 or 3.

Hope this helps!

My kids are teens now, but our experience at KFG was the same as what PP describes.  It is a fantastic center.[/quote]
