Chung Pak Day Care Center

Amazing place. We were there at the Universal 3K program and staff was very friendly, organized and competent. The learning is quite advanced as far as writing and numbers go. Playtime is fun in the courtyard. Overall fantastic experience and highly recommend.

Chung Pak Day Care now (Sept 2013) has a new location down South of Chinatown near Holland Tunnel named Tribeca Early Childhood Learning Center. This location is brand new, means everything is bright, new and clean. You won't find any broken or sticky plastic toys or worn furniture. Teachers are very kind and patient. At least 2 teachers per class and few helpers for diaper changes, cleaning and serve meals. The only down side is they do not have a full kitchen to cook, which have to order take out from Chinatown. I hope they specify no MSG when ordering. Anyway, my son enjoys his time there because the center is filled up with different kinds of new educational toys. My son is in their middle class, which is for 2.5-3 yrs old. They read books every morning and do a lot of painting and crafts. They learned how to share, feed themselves, put on shoes, clean up, etc. My favorite teacher Ms Alice can handle all crying, fighting and stubborn kids; she is like a magician to me. Thanks Alice!

My son went to the Chung Pak annex in Tribeca for a year. He was in the class for 3 and 4 year olds in the back. The classroom was nice and bright with plenty of books and toys. They had weekly karate and art classes and went to the park on most days which was great. I was mostly unhappy with the many teacher changes and some of the staff's behavior. My son had at least 4 or 5 different teachers or assistant teachers in a year. The only one who stayed the whole year was Ms Amy and she was loud and overbearing. My son said she yelled a lot. I walked in on her screaming at the kids when I went to pick him up. She looked scary angry and the kids just stared at her and walked away like they were used to this. That's when I decided not to continue wiht this place.
