Testimonials
“I brought my daughter, Sophie, to Shenker Academy at 16 months. After one week, I could see how she was growing not just through the educational plan but also socially. When she entered elementary school, the teachers could not believe where she was academically and how well-behaved she was. Shenker Academy is not a daycare. It is a program that prepares your toddler for school without taking away the fun of being a child. When I had my second child, Brooklyn, it was a no-brainer. She was going to attend Shenker. It’s wonderful to see your child thrive and look forward to going to school in the morning! I recommend Shenker to all of my friends.”
We love Shenker Academy! Absolutely the best school in town. The care for the infants is exceptional, which not only includes play time for the children but actually has a curriculum. Children are introduced to sign language, Hebrew, and Spanish from the beginning. Classrooms utilize an app and shares pictures of children safely with the parents on daily basis. The staff loves and cares for the children as if they were their own!Dr. Sharon Knafo is a phenomenal leader and educator who genuinely cares about the students, is very involved and makes every parent feel like a family member
