Pleasant Valley Co-Op Nursery

This school is not for everyone. My daughter was having issues interacting with the other children in a proper manner, and the teacher let us know one week after school had started. But rather than working with us to remedy the situation, we were only warned about her behavior and told that she needed to improve or else she’ll be kicked out of the school. At home, we were trying our best to get her to fix these issues, but one week later the director pulled my husband aside after dropping her off for the morning and told him that she was no longer welcome at the school. How can you fix a problem like this in only a week, especially without cooperation from the school or the teacher to help instill this new routine and social protocols for preschool?nnLong story short, if your child has any problems or special needs, don’t bother with this school.

I was really disappointed with our experience with this school. Our child was bullied regularly, and I didn't feel like the teachers did anything to stop this. The school touts itself as being open and inclusive, but it felt anything but inclusive or open. The curriculum was definitely not inclusive, and even downright offensive and cringeworthy at times (like having kids dress up as pilgrims and Indians (with headdresses!) at the in-class Thanksgiving celebration!??!). Basically, they are inclusive, so long as you are white, Christian, cisgendered, hetero, non-immigrant, etc. If not, then...
