Comment:  Both my daughters go to OWP and we absolutely love it. My oldest is in UPK now but started there in the 2s program. My younger one is in the 2s and will be continuing there next year -- maybe our kids will be in the same class!The teachers are absolutely incredible and loving. And all the admin staff are incredibly competent and great leaders. They have adjusted to these crazy times incredibly well.

Subject:  Welcome to the NEW 2018 Kids Group!

Comment:  She's 2.5 years old and started at One World Project in Windsor Terrace (where we live) this September. It is a Spanish-immersion preschool and they have universal Pre-K as well. We speak mostly Spanish at home, so it is a perfect fit for us! I. attends 3 mornings per week and LOVES it!!! The kids spend most of their time outside in the school's garden and two outdoor "classrooms."

Comment:  Our kid goes to One World and they are super diligent in their handling of this.

Subject:  in person child care centers/schools for full time...

Comment:  I believe they had a few spots left at One World Project for kids that age a few weeks back.They are Spanish immersion school on Vanderbilt St, next to Greenwood Cemetery, at the border of South Slope and Windsor terrace. Don’t let the language factor deter you: most kids don’t speak the language (nor do their families) when they start there and many attend despite that because the school is so very special and worth it.The school is what it is thanks in part too to an AMAZING, caring community that really looks after each other and has strong bonds that last beyond preschool. A loving, dedicated, diverse and very well informed team of professionals takes care of our kids and makes them thrive there and we parents absolutely love it - never heard of anyone that didn’t in my 3 years there.A couple bonuses: their gorgeous outdoor space (patio + garden), which has been expanded with the coronavirus so that they can spend even more time outside than they already used to and the fact that they have free UPK that the kids in the 3s programme have guaranteed entry in.

Subject:  2019-2020 Year Review

Comment:  One World Project is an extremely sweet preschool with a Pre-K attached that participates in the universal Pre-K program. Our daughter attended the 2's program this year and will be continuing next year. It's a Spanish immersion preschool. We speak hardly any Spanish at home but she has been with a Spanish speaking nanny since birth. I found that she really started speaking more Spanish once she began attending here, I think because it gave her a larger community of Spanish speakers. The teachers are extremely kind and do a lot of work with the kids on social/emotional issues. They cook together one day a week (super simple things but my daughter loves it) and they have a nice outdoor playground and garden that the children use. The administrators are really good communicators and seem to have really good values about what matters in a school/community space. My only beef is that I wish they were more conveniently located. … About the facility: Has outdoor space, Has afterschool options, Has early morning hours, Provides snack

Subject:  Preschools in Windsor Terrace

Comment:  Check out One World Project in Windsor Terrace. It's an amazing preschool and also has UPK, an added bonus. It is a Spanish immersion program, but a lot of the kids don't speak Spanish when they start. I had my older one there and now have my younger one there too and we actually have a bus commute to the school, but love it so much that we happily do so. They have a playground on site and a garden and have a strong focus on social emotional learning.

Subject:  One World Project and Juguemos a Cantar

Comment:  Another shout out for one world! I am an educator and have, between my two kids, sent them to four preschools and one world is far and away the best. They are so incredibly thoughtful, loving, and reflective. They develop all their curriculum based on students’ emerging interests and their social emotional understanding is incredibly deep. I can’t say enough good things!

Subject:  One World Project and Juguemos a Cantar

Comment:  One World Project is hands down the best place you can send your kid to (at least in my opinion). They are a community of learners and have a strong focus on social-emotional learning, which is fundamental at that age. Having the UPK program integrated is a huge benefit, and so is their own playground in the backyard and the outside garden I find. My 2 year old has just planted garlic with his friends. They cook, sing, read, dance, and play while learning Spanish, but most of all the school really supports each child to find their own voice and their own personality in a safe and loving place.My older son went through their program from 2s-UPK program and still attends afterschool now twice a week. My younger son just started in the 2s program this year.

Subject:  One World Project and Juguemos a Cantar

Comment:  The leaders of OWP are mindful, committed to children and have a vision of creating a better world through the power of community. The program is progressive, play-based and child-centered. The school has grown, and if they had the space, it could double in size because of the need for quality immersion programs and their solid reputation. They offer nursery, pre-k, after school, camp programs and inclusive community events.

Subject:  Review from the 2019 PSP Daycare, Preschool Survey

Comment:  One World Project is a very loving, nurturing, homey program, with great facilities, including well-resourced classrooms, a back playground with swingset, climbing wall, trikes, scooters, and a side garden, where classes engage in gardening projects. OWP offers programming to the community throughout the year. One World Project is a Spanish immersion school and works best for children who are interested in learning Spanish or who already speak Spanish. One World Project has committed to paying their teachers well, and to their ongoing professional development. They provide trainings on gender, race, and other topics to their staff. Drawbacks: OWP did not feel comfortable sharing my child's areas for growth, even when asking to do so. I received only positive feedback on my child. My child experienced teasing from other kids throughout the year and it was difficult to get OWP to address these concerns. They use Conscious Discpline, which prioritizes developing empathy, by trying to put oneself in another's shoes, but I felt they should have been more direct in helping children know the kind of language that is and is not appropriate and is and is not tolerated at school. Basically, they were too soft and indirect, and I hope they will improve in this area. DETAILS: Has outdoor space, Has afterschool options, Has early morning hours, Provides meals What you would change: More direct instruction to children around respectful behavior. My child really struggled with being teased, throughout the year.

Subject:  One World Camp

Comment:  Our daughter currently attends One World as a 3year old and we are loving it. The teachers are kind and gentle, the practices are all centered around social emotional learning and they make the day very fun for the kids. While the programs are immersion, they do accommodate children who are not comfortable expressing themselves in Spanish, so that they feel welcome and a part of the community.

Subject:  One world camp

Comment:  One world is fantastic! It’s such a creative, supportive and fun place all around. Our daughter was there for two years in the preschool/UPK, after school and has done camp as well. She always has such a great time. The teachers have all been fantastic as well. The kids learn so much through really great experiences at OWP. They work on really fun projects and make food. The school also weaves social emotional learning throughout all that they do.

Subject:  Spanish speaking daycares and preschools

Comment:  My 2 boys went to Juguemos a Cantar and I have nothing but good thing to say about their program. Loving teachers, clean and safe environment and very educational program. For my daughter instead she is currently enrolled at One World Project. At first I was a little hesitant to enroll her there because of the commute (Juguemos a cantar is walking distance to me while OWP is 2 subway stops), but I could not be happier. The school has a very family environment feeling. Again, the teachers are very loving and Spanish speakers, the program is 100% in Spanish, they have additional music and movement teachers a couple of times a week, they have a small patio where the kids go to everyday/all year around and they take them to short walks to close by parks/playground and best of all they have Universal PreK for 4 years old. I highly recommend it. Feel free

Subject:  Preschool in Windsor Terrace and Kensington?

Comment:  Our daughter is currently in the 2s program 3x a week and we just renewed for next year for 5x a week. It's an amazing school/community/environment and she has grown so much just in the 5 months she's been there already. Can't say enough wonderful things about it!

Subject:  Preschool in Windsor Terrace and Kensington?

Comment:  We had our oldest at One World Project before we moved out of the neighborhood. It's a really incredible school--great community, loving teachers--and my daughter really loved learning Spanish through the immersion program. They also do UPK and give priority to current students. One of the hardest things about moving away was that my child wouldn't get to attend this awesome school. I highly recommend it.

Comment:  Wonderful, caring, nurturing environment that provides a true Spanish immersion opportunity for toddlers. They have a fantastic program for the kids, the teachers are all caring, and they do a phenomenal job building a sense of community. About the facility: Has outdoor space, Has afterschool options, Has early morning hours What would you change? Get them more funding so they could expand their offerings

Subject:  [PSPMLFamilies] Dual Language Pre-K Programs

Comment:  Another vote for One World Project. It's Spanish immersion only (not bilingual), so kids are less tempted to speak English (just amongst the kids). My son is there in preschool and he has picked up so much Spanish. He is trilingual and Spanish was always his weakest language. I can see it become his strongest one before the end of the school year.And it's an amazing school! They have two UPK classes.

Subject:  [PSPMLFamilies] Dual Language Pre-K Programs

Comment:  I highly recommend One World Project. While Spanish language level is mixed there are definitely some native/bilingual kids and the teachers are really good at encouraging each child at their own level (like saying "no entiendo" to my son when he would try to answer them in English, knowing he was fully capable in Spanish.)

Subject:  Shout Out for One World Project

Comment:  Just wanted to recommend One World Project which is a Spanish immersion preschool in Windsor Terrace. My daughter has been there since September in the 3's program and I absolutely love this place. The teachers are all amazing and they foster such a loving and caring environment for children, all while immersing them in Spanish. They also believe strongly in teaching children about taking care of the environment. They have a lovely outdoor space and take the children out as much as possible.(Review submitted April 2017)

Subject:  Review submitted via the PSP 2016 PreK Survey

Comment:  Review: Teachers are thoughtful and always focused on creating a safe environment for fun and learning. Their approach to discipline is effective and quite fantastic. My daughter loves the music, dance and outdoor play. She also loves that she is assigned a "job" each week like putting away toys or sweeping. For a non spanish speaking family, the immersion program has really opened up my child to a new language and way to communicate.About the facility: Has outdoor space, Has afterschool options, Has early morning hours, Spanish ImmersionWhat would you change about the program, if anything, and why?Review submitted via the PSP 2016 PreK Survey

Subject:  Bilingual Spanich PreSchool Shout Out: One World Project

Comment:  I must give a shout out for the truly special bilingual English/Spanish preschool One World Project! I just learned they have a couple of spots left in their 3's group, so if you are looking for a preschool option I highly recommend you pounce: http://www.oneworldproject.org/The school is impeccably run by passionate, experienced and lettered educators who are deeply devoted to the school's mission: everyone has the potential to be a citizen of the world and a steward of the environment. One World's home is a stand-alone former church in a quiet Windsor Terrace neighborhood, whose ample backyard playground, planting beds, auditorium and cheerful classrooms are a wonderful breeding ground for cultivating the imaginations, self-confidence and joie de vivre in every child lucky enough to attend. Every teacher is a master at "positive discipline" and the results (at least in my child who attended their UPK program last year) are extraordinary. Communication between the teachers and parents is exceptional (weekly robust emails and loads of wonderful pictures). Joanne Derwin, the director, is a saint. She started this school to do her part to make a difference in the world: by giving children a safe and loving environment where each of their budding, unique personalities are celebrated. Her aim is true.Yes, it is bilingual Spanish, but if your child doesn't speak Spanish he or she would still have a wonderful experience. The classes are small and the teachers adapt their communication to each child as necessary. Even if you have no intention of continuing a bilingual education, having your child experience a 2nd language is amazing for brain development. And yes, I said UPK! One World is in the DOE UPK program, so if you start your child in the 3's program you could look forward to continuing there for UPK next year.

They go on so many great field trips (botanical garden, YMCA, horseback riding, firehouse to name a few) and are always doing projects in the backyard. They teach in immersion spanish and my son is using so much more spanish now. The kids have all progressed and blossomed so much this year. My son is always asking to see his teachers. We feel really fortunate to be a part of the school.Do you recommend? (Hi/Rec/DoNot) Highly recommend

Subject:  Review: One World Project

Comment:  My son has been attending One World this year. We could not be happier than we are. He loves to go there. The teachers are incredibly warm and creative. He has been learning so much through play and exploration. They do really cool projects, mostly based on learning about different cultures, nature and environment. There are a lot of little things that I also appreciate, for example the snacks that the kids are offered are very healthy, and they do a lot of art projects reusing things that would be recycled otherwise. But what I like mostly is that it is very nurturing environment, and is a small group (maximum 12 kids in the Fuller place location) and it feels cozy and safe.
