Our daughter goes to Safari kid for pre-school program. She completed almost 1.5 years now. it's been going great for her. She loves all her teachers and vice versa. She gets to do a lot of coloring and artwork which she likes very much. She gets weekly homeworks and they are good for her age. Occasional Pizza parties and jumper fun are nice to have. All in all, our daughter is happy and safe which matters most.
As a parent, we are very satisfied with our experience at Safari kid-Newark, Ardenwood facility. The teachers are organized, warm, and communication is clear. They teach good values and independence. My daughter enjoys going to school every day. We are very thankful to the school for providing a dedicated, safe, and academically excellent environment.
Our child has been attending this school for the past two years, and we absolutely love it. They focus on well-rounded development—from learning Spanish to participating in a variety of outdoor activities. They also offer dedicated classes for Art and Dance. Teachers like Richa, Gurvinder, Sita, Ambica, Deepal, and Christine have shaped our child beautifully over these two years. They’ve helped with becoming an independent eater, transitioning through potty training, and overall personality and academic growth. Homework starts around age 2.5–3 and is thoughtfully curated to support tracing, drawing, phonics, and basic math skills.
I would have given 0 but that's not allowed. The director Aparna parasher has a lot of child degrees and certificate but that doesn't translate to any effective management or handling in actual reality. My son suffered for 8 months and Literally as soon as we sent him to another school within a week(within a week literally) he improved in multiple ways, stopped crying to go to school, got immediately toilet trained and much much more. The teachers are also pretty poor and have very little to offer. They don't recognize a bright and productive child who topped his class in the new school. They might have teacher diploma etc but no child should have to suffer under their negligence, lack of effort, charmless teaching, and low effort and energy combo whoch transfers to the child. Pls send kids anywhere but here! If you think your child is doing well at safari believe me he or she will substantially improve and learn better elsewhere ! Edit : added after school response. He was definitely not happy and engaged and enjoying!!! He was crying every morning on way to school and miserable throughout. Teachers SAW the tears too. So Safari ,don't spin the narrative incorrectly!!! Also don't blame different factors/ families if Safari dropped the ball
