Please share your experience with this playgroup.
I asked around and heard great things.
I checked it out and it looked spacious and clean and the kids seemed happy.
Please bring it on, the good, the bad, I'm ready to hear all of it Smile
TIA!

no transportation, otherwise its perfect. 1/2 places my son's therapists and service coordinator said they would feel comfortable sending to and they have seen all places in BP/Flatbush.

I sent two of my children there and visited often as a professional. It is clean, well run and the children always seemed content. Impressive to me was Sury's understanding of each child's needs and abilities.

Great playgroup! My daughter loved it. Sury is really nice, very warm and seems close to every kid. The assistants I interacted with were also really sweet.

Thank you so much for the responses!
This is not that important, but just wondering if they serve breakfast?

They are open 8:50-3:30 but actual hours of structured play are shorter than that.
They follow the guidelines of 6 children per teacher I believe, they include the help in that (she's really sweet, cleans up, changes diapers, kids like her).
2 classes, the younger division and the older division.

Are you extremely happy with them? I am hearing horror stories about local playgroups.

Does she take off a lot of days before Pesach? Mid winter vaca?

Thanks!

I am happy. Of course I'd rather be there for my child all day and make sure everything is perfect for her all the time but that is not possible. I see what's going on, they are responsible, they communicate, they listen and take care of concerns, it's very clean, they follow regulations, my daughter is happy BH.
You have reason to be fearful. There are playgroups of horror all over the place. (I had my own bad experience with my first child.)
I went through almost every playgroup, researched like crazy, cut the list down to about 4 in all of BP. None of them are perfect but these are the places you can trust with your children. I chose Orgel because that is the one that worked for me logistically from those places.
Her last day before pesach was Tuesday, so there were 2.5 days off. She gives 2 days off for Chanukah and 2 for mid-winter. Tanis Esther half day. Etc. Not bad compared to other playgroups.
They are costly btw.

Looking into sending to Orgel. How big is each class? How much is it monthly?
TIA!

It was about $550 a few years ago. I think it's around $575 now.
She follows laws and protocols of number of children per teacher (I don't remember if it's 4-6? per?).
