About Kid Krazy Preschool

The Executive Director & Mom Who’s Been In Your Shoes

When Melissa Chin was looking for a preschool for her own son, she remembers how overwhelming it felt. She wasn’t just looking for a place where he would learn—she wanted somewhere he would feel safe, supported, and truly cared for.

When she couldn’t find that balance, she decided to create it.

After earning her master’s degree in Early Childhood Education, Melissa opened Kid Krazy Preschool in 2000 with a simple goal: to build a place that feels like a second home—for both children and their families.

Today, she’s still here every day—supporting teachers, connecting with families, and making sure every child is known, nurtured, and encouraged to grow.

Experienced Teachers Who Love Working With Children

All of our Head Teachers hold either a BA or an MA in Education and a NYS teaching certification. Most of our assistant teachers are pursuing a degree in childhood education, and all our passionate educators have years of experience and a deep commitment to nurturing young learners.

A Curriculum Designed to Support The Whole Child

We believe children learn through “meaningful” play and that learning occurs during developmentally appropriate, child-centered activities. Our curriculum supports academic and cognitive development as well as social, emotional, and physical skills.
