Parents' Comments
Parent #1
My child entered as an infant so many of the questions asked above are N/A. for my situation. Infants are mixed age and develop at their own pace. I specifically like the fact that they are allowed to eat, sleep, play, etc. at their own convenience. Additionally the school embraces attachement parenting and will carry infants in slings and teachers are most often found sitting/ playing on the floor with the children.
Parent #2
We have a Parent Association that tries to make a difference, but remains frustrated. We have a school Director who is not open to feedback and is resistant to change. It doesn't take long for an active and engaged parent to become agitated with the process and lack of results.
Parent #3
I feel very welcome at the school and the teachers are informative about my child's progress.
