"My daughter is currently enrolled in the full time pre-school program and I must say the teachers are excellent and the afternoon program is top notch with the most caring staff. My daughter is very shy and I have seen her open up and she is more advanced at the age of 3 then most kids, including my older daughter at that age. My daughter was quite not all the way potty trained but the pre-school teacher worked with her and within 2 weeks of school starting she was fully trained!!"

"I have two children in Divine Providence School. I have no doubts that I made the right decision for my family. The staff in the early education classes are exceptional. I was looking for a school that would not only help them grow socially, but provide the early education that would carry them through grade school. Now that my older child is in 2nd grade, I see that his early enrollment at DP has provided a solid base for the upper grades. I am also very happy with the principal, Jerry Spatara. I know that with his guidance the school will continue to flourish with new technologies, curriculum and a faithful environment. My wife and I have made the choice to pay the tuition each month (as oppose to the free public school). I have yet to cut a DP check and not feel that I am getting my moneys worth. My children are well educated and ready to face the future with confidence. The religious aspect of the school has taught them to have respect and understanding for us, their friends and teachers."

"My children have been attending this school since 2005. The current Principal is very involved and proactive about bringing technology and best practices to the school. The language arts program in the primary grades (PK-2nd) is fantastic! My children are above average readers and their penmanship is so neat. I am very happy with the program. The Science lab, Computer lab and classroom technology all enhance their learning too. This school has an Art Fair in the spring. Whoever organizes it is so creative. The projects over the years have been really fun to see. The teachers are caring and easy to contact and work with. My only issue is the cost of tuition. I wish it could be a little lower, but I feel that I am getting value for my money and have no regrets about spending it on education here. The uniform is a definite plus!"

"My older children have attended the 'other' catholic school in Westchester AND also the public schools in Westchester. So far, Divine Providence has not only met my expectations, but exceeded any goals any parent could hope for!"

"I have been happy with my choice to have my daughter at DP. Beginning w/kindergarten thru the present, she has matured to a bright young girl w/many goals & dreams. The small size classes add to the personal education the children are receiving. The seemingly heavy amount of homework assigned is the only issue that we have had so far. The staff has always been available when needed."
