We allowed our imaginations to soar here in the Cloud room! Our two-year-old program incorporates Wisdom Tree's Creative Curriculum, which blends the educational philosophies of Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophy. A fresh color, shape, letter, and number are among our monthly specialties. Additionally, we have our MUSICAL MONDAYS (we study musical terms and put them to the test using instruments) and MESSY ART FRIDAYS (we recreate historic artwork into our toddler version). With the help of child-centered activities, your little one will gain confidence in our classroom while developing their verbal, social/emotional, fine and gross motor, and self-regulating abilities.
Meet The Teachers
The Cloud Room - 2’s Head Teacher
Hello Parents- Welcome to the Cloud Room. My name is Lauren Ishack. I am the teacher of the Cloud Room. I graduated from the College of Staten Island with an undergrad degree in a Major in Linguistics and a Minor In Speech Pathology. I am entering my 2nd year teaching at Wisdom Tree PreSchool. I have many experiences working with children from various age groups. I am so excited to meet all your kiddos and watch them grow. I am looking forward to doing fun and interesting projects with the kids. This will be an exciting year of learning and seeing the kids develop. Let’s have a great year!
The Cloud Room - 2’s Head Teacher
Hello! I’m Ms. Cindy, the co-teacher of the Cloud Room. I graduated from Brooklyn College with a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Education for grades one to six. I’m also looking forward to grad school in the upcoming year. Although I have a degree in working with kids in grades one to six, I’ve worked with preschoolers for two years. It has been a great joy to work with younger kids. It’s incredible to watch them learn and grow throughout the year.
I’m looking forward to meeting you and your kiddos!

Parent’s Comments
“Our 2-year-old looks forward to school each day and returns home happy and excited to tell us all about the projects they did and the songs they sang. We have felt totally at ease sending her to school during the pandemic as we know the school takes a number of sanitary precautions. I love that they have both a small playground to use and that they go on walks in the nicer weather. The thing that stands out the most for me is the communication through the Brightwheel app. Our teachers post updates and pics throughout the day so we can see all the fun stuff the kids are up to - this helps us to chat with our daughter about her day over dinner! I also appreciate the food/nap/and potty updates. It’s also super easy to chat with the teachers directly about any questions or concerns.”
“Our daughter has learned and grown so much since starting at Wisdom Tree! She always comes home singing new songs and talking about her friends and things she has learned. We love getting photos and updates throughout the day on the Brightwheel app. Her teachers are so loving and creative.
Thank you!”
