What are parents saying about Mazel? Check out our recent parent reviews at greatschools.com .
"[Mazel Day School is] the best in terms of education, child development, friendly atmosphere and personal care. My daughter can read and she is only 4.5 years old! Incredible!"
"I am so impressed with Mazel Day School! All of my expectations have been exceeded - from the level of education to the warmth and family feel that's consistently shown."
"Excellent school!"
"Thank you so much for making this school what it is - I really love you all."
"I'm thankful for having met some of the parents in the community, and also to finally see a school with teachers who ACTUALLY care."
"[Mazel Day School is] the best in the neighborhood and probably one of the best in Brooklyn."
"Children have more options to develop in different areas of study and [the] quality of education is much better than in public schools. Also, class sizes give an opportunity for individual attention."
"None like Mazel exist - there is a perfect balance in everything. Everything is just right!!!"
"[Mazel has] unmatched dedication to education, the best child to teacher ratio, amazing teachers, and a family atmosphere”.
“It's one of a few programs that offers bilingual education, nurturing atmosphere, relatively small classes and unique approach to behavior and discipline.”
“I see this place as a perfect “destination” for Russian Jewish kids from different cultural and religious backgrounds which allows them to have a strong Jewish identity and pride, based on knowledge and spiritual experience. The warm and caring atmosphere and familiarity of spoken [Russian] languages in the classroom gives them the important feeling of safety and security, both mental and spiritual, which can be absent in other big schools. The small groups in each class provide personal attention and individual creative approach to help students get their best, both academically and socially.”
“One of the aspects that I like about Mazel Day School is a warm and nurturing environment in school. My child goes to school without ever feeling like she left home... Also the class sizes in Mazel are small and allow for more personal attention to students. Teachers are very warm and friendly.”
"Russian private school tends to isolate the child in the confines of just one, native culture and to neglect the fact that there is a different world outside of Brighton Beach Russian enclave. American private schools, on the other hand, immerse the child into the American ways, forgetting where they came from. Mazel places itself right in the middle. Yeshivah is too religious for us.”
“Mazel Day School has helped us in many ways. My children love their school, teachers, and classmates. They are happy and feel secure in the environment. Because of the teachers and administration my children are learning at a faster pace. I doubt very much that they would have learned as much anywhere else.”
“My child has introduced Judaism to the family in a very gentle and positive way.”
"This school is amazing. We have been part of this beautiful community for close to six years now and I can't say enough about the quality of staff, quality of education, attention and care provided to our kids, and every single aspect of the school environment. Strong general studies, fluency in 3 languages (kids read and write in English, Hebrew, and Russian), rich Judaic studies component, various extracurricular activities (during the school day as well as on premises after school), caring staff that knows every child by name, and knows every single family in the school, and most importantly amazing children that come from truly outstanding families. Children are happy and excited to go to school every day - it doesn't happen often, especially in schools of NYC."
"Mazel is a home away from home for our family. The warm, caring environment coupled with values- oriented education is exactly what we were looking for! The parent community makes you feel part of a team! We could not be happier!"
"Mazel is an excellent school. My son had been thriving in it both academically and personally. I love the focus on progressive education and character building."
