Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Good
Parent #2
Jan. 2009 - (Note: Check out the school website). We looked at preschools all of the city for our daughter, and were so lucky to get off the waiting list at All Austin Co-op. Our daughter has been there for a year and a half, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The teachers and director are creative, warm, experienced, and absolutely wonderful with the children. Since this is a co-op, my husband and I both spend time in the class, so we know all of the other families and what our daughter's day is like. This school "follows the lead" of the children, and emphasizes that children learn best through play, especially in a stimulating, rich environment. There are NOT formal teaching sessions or a detailed curriculum, but we are thrilled with the experience we have had and highly recommend the school.
Parent #3
The school is not open to differing view-points on children's problems. They will not listen to parental opinion on what you would like or what you think is best for your child.
Parent #4
It's nondenominational but inclusive. The philosophy -- Reggio Emilia -- is play-based and includes a good mix of structure and freedom. It's a great community, full of people I would choose to be friends with if it were not for the school bringing us together. But it does take a lot of time and commitment to being involved.
