[quote=Anonymous]It's interesting to see this thread picked up again as it started in 2009.  I actually came across it last year when I was considering Rodef.  I had been concerned about one of the previous posts regarding boys, especially active boys.  My son started Rodef last fall (so he's about to finish his first year there).  He had just turned 2 when he started and was one of the younger in his class.  He's a super active young boy.  Even more than the average 2 year old boy, he had some attention difficulties and I had a hard time imagining him sitting for circle time, for instance.  He was also receiving speech therapy for a delay.  When I first visited the school, I was so impressed with the beautiful facility and the exceptional student-teacher ratio.  The last question that remained was whether it was the right place for my son.

After speaking with the director, we decided to give it a try.  It has been a wonderful, wonderful place for him.  He has flourished and they have played a big role in his development.  They have reasonable and age-appropriate expectations, and the teachers are both warm and loving while also knowing a lot about child development and stimulating.  They do have high expectations--but they look at where your child is starting and help him or her to get there.  There is a Judaic component but my son's class is quite diverse and now having socalized with other parents, I can say regardless of background, people are generally very happy with the quality of the school and teachers.  You get what you pay for--it's not a cheap preschool but they put the money to use in having lots of qualified people in the class.  My son has had so much fun and learned so much.  Communication from the school is excellent.  Whenever I've had questions or concerns, whomever I've approached (teachers or director) are helpful, open, and serious.  My son has gotten every ounce of support, affection, fun and education I could have hoped for, and my standards are high.  I can't praise the school enough.[/quote]
