I’ve seen firsthand how much Ms. Jordan pours into her work at the AMES Center. Her love, energy, and commitment make all the difference for these kids. Shutting this down would be a step backward for the entire community.
Stephany supported: Save Ames CenterAs a parent of a child who attends the Ames Early Childhood Center, I am deeply saddened and concerned by the news that the school may be forced to close due to an unaffordable lease demand from the City of Yonkers.
Ames is not just a school – it’s a lifeline. It provides high-quality early education and critical special education services to preschoolers, many of whom come from Yonkers and NYC. The staff are compassionate, skilled, and dedicated to helping every child thrive. For children like mine, who need extra support, Ames has made a life-changing difference.
Fatumah supported: Save Ames CenterMs. Jordan is one of the most patient, dedicated, and loving teachers I’ve ever seen. The kids light up when they see her — losing her and the AMES Center would be a huge loss for these families.
Kenneth supported: Save Ames CenterMrs. Coley and Ms. Jordan have a gift, they reach children in ways most people can’t. The AMES Center gives them the space to do that work, and taking it away would hurt the very kids who need it most.
Hamlin supported: Save Ames CenterMerging three classes into one would result in a lack of personal attention to each individual child. It would be detrimental to their learning at such an important stage of their development.
Mindy supported: Stop the Reduction of Pre-K Classes at PEARLS Hawthorne from 3 to 2!I was a student at PEARLS and graduated in 2018. I am very grateful that was able to experience a small teacher to student ratio which allowed me to flourish academically. I hope the current pre-k student are able to share this experience as well. I understand the need to minimize classes. However, doing it in the middle of the year won’t be beneficial since they are already used to the small class size. Pre-k student need more one to one time with the teacher and adding 24 students to a class of 12 will be too distracting and problematic to the teacher and students.
Roselee supported: Stop the Reduction of Pre-K Classes at PEARLS Hawthorne from 3 to 2!Although this decision to eliminate one of the classes of PEARLS Pre-K 4 classes may appear to make fiscal sense, it is totally unacceptable for the well-being of the students for this to occur mid year. There were no enrollment changes since the class sizes were set and the teaching assignments were made. To make this disruptive change would adversely affect a very young and vulnerable population of children. Please reconsider this action in the middle of the school year. At the very least, a response to the many communications sent to the education office by these parents should be addressed.
Jackie supported: Stop the Reduction of Pre-K Classes at PEARLS Hawthorne from 3 to 2!You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
