Parents' Comments
Parent #1
This school is loved by the theater families, who have lower standards and have the flexibility this coop school requires. As part of the coop, parents must volunteer in the school and are expected to be very involved in field trips, fundraising, etc. Its a bad fit for families who don't have that much flexibility, especially since they are closed more days than any other preschool.
The teaching is good, but not as good as reputed. The facilities are rundown and dirty, the bathroom situation is terrible.
Either you fit into this school or you don't. If you don't, you will be miserable.
Parent #2
They have dealt well with any problems that occurred.
Parent #3
The school emphasis is on free play, and provides a wonderful environment to do so. If your family wants a very structured environment, this would not be an appropriate choice. I am very satisfied with what the school offers.
Parent #4
My kid loves this school He feels totally at home there. This is critical to me in addition to the care he gets. He could stay all day and love it. The parent community is exceptional and extremely dedicated. On a more personal note I don't believe a great deal of attention is given to the individual child or their special needs. Kids must mostly adapt to the way the school is run. There isn't much sensitivity around emotional/social deficiencies. With some kids there is and with some there isn't. There isn't a lot of feedback from the head teacher on any regular basis as to how your child is doing, at least not with my child. It is mostly up to the parents to pursue if they are interested in how their child is doing.
