Geneva Day School in Potomac

Any feedback on this school, positive or negative, would be much appreciated. We're considering it for next year. Thanks!

They 'talk the talk' but do not 'walk the walk'. They talk a lot about being developmentally appropriate, yet when my child and I dropped by just to meet the director, she made my child sit down and write her name (at 3 years old) Child couldn't do it too well, so director called us later to say she wasn't sure she could 'say yes yet' to my child. I told her never mind, we were saving her time and saying no to them.

I agree with the previous poster. They do (or used to) enroll kids with 'needs', but do not do a good job of really taking the time to individualize their learning. I have FIRST HAND experience with this. I also had a very bright, 'regular' kid attend for one year. There was an teacher there who gave my child a really hard time.

Geneva had some teachers with not so great reputations. Don't know if they are still there, but teachers who spoke harshly to the kids, things like that.

I was reading this old post and would love to hear more from this poster...my DD with needs is going there this year and I became concerned when I read this. I had very positive feelings about the school.

I have a child there and it has been a great experience. I don't know what teachers you are talking about. They have been only kind.
