BTEE Early Childhood Center

My son attended BTEE for two years and my daughter just started this year. It’s a very warm and nurturing place with tons of community involvement and family activities. Our family is not Jewish but I love that our children learn about different cultures and traditions (and Hebrew!). The playground space is beautiful with big trees and a beautiful new garden. The extra-​curricular activities are also fantastic — everything from karate to sports to dance to language. Both my children love it as much as I do and we’ve found a real community of families that I know we’ll know for years to come. If you are looking for an academic pre-​school with homework and worksheets, this is not it, but for those that don’t believe that pre-​schoolers need that sort of instruction at this age and should be allowed to dance and sing and play and color and be kids, it’s a wonderful choice.

We love this school. The teachers genuinely love my son and he really loves this place. Everyone is friendly, we get along with other parents. This school really makes us feel like we’re part of a community, caring teachers and neighborhood families.

I love this school. My almost-​4-​yr-​old started last fall and has had the best experience. It’s a play-​based school, which was very important to us, but also has structure so that kids learn to work collaboratively and follow direction. There are also play-​centered academics that get more focused in the pre-​K class. The teachers and staff are amazing — warm and effective, very involved. Great enrichment classes like yoga, dance & music, as well as extracurricular activities like soccer, karate and hip hop dance. The school itself is great, with a lovely shaded playground and garden that the kids help tend. You don’t have to be Jewish to have your kid attend. All are welcome. They have build a lovely community. Can’t say enough good things about this school.

This school is more of a play-​based day care center. if you are looking for academic teaching for your son or daughter, look elsewhere. Teachers are sweet. Center director is strict and inflexible.

My son started at Btee when he was 3 years old. He is an only child and it was important for me to have him interact with other children. He loves it there. He even looks forward to go to school after the weekend. The teachers and wonderful and the pre school director is amazing. She truly cares about the pre school with all the fun fundraisers and activities she brings to the pre school. The teachers are doing a great job with my son. He is more than ready for kindergarten. They have great enrichment programs such as karate, dance, and yoga. They also have yummy gourmet healthy lunch program. I feel at ease leaving my child at Btee and that says a lot coming from me because I’m one those clingy moms. I can’t say enough good things about BTEE!

I brought my son to this school after he had been attending a big, flashy school. I couldn’t be happier. It is everything the other school was not– warm, inviting, nurturing– everyone knows everyone here and you get a real sense of community. There’s no flash or pretense. And the school director is simply fantastic– very hands on.

My daughter goes here and loves it, the teachers and Facility are great and she always come home happy with a smile on her face. There are lots of great learning going on here with friendly kids and parents that will keep us together day in and day out. So far she has already taken a Karate Class, and a Soccer class and she loves it. This is her last year and I know that she will miss everyone until we send our newborn, then she gets to come back and visit:) I would definitely recommend this school!!!

My daughter has been going there for a bit over a year now. She loves it and so do we! The teachers are warm and loving and all the kids play together really well. She’s yet to have a morning when she’s said that she doesn’t want to go to preschool. Definitely recommend this place!

Great Teachers and Facility!!! Our son, as well as ourselves love this school and it’s teachers! The teachers watch and care for our son as if he was their own. Being first time parents, I have not had one day of regret to leave him because I know he’ll get the same love and attention as I would give him here at home. We also love that our two year old has learned to be a good person there. He’s also made lots of improvements in his social skills, speech, and in problem solving. Which were some concern of ours and his doctors. The facility is super clean and friendly. Their play-​yard is almost totally shaded, which is really nice to have during this summer. Also, each class has their own garden; our son loves to garden at home now and is trying new veggies. Thank you BTEE; we love you!!!
