Ashlawn or Campbell ES?

I grew up in a pretty poor area and some kids still made fun of everyone else wore, not wearing the right brand, etc. even though we were all poor! If the worst thing you can say about the school is that some parents are able to give money at an auction, and there were two jerks on the playground… I’d say that’s pretty tame.

Agreed!

Is it the same for principals. What specifically are the concerns there? Just want to be aware as an incoming family of what to look for

I’m confused by this post as well, which preschools are at Ashlawn now? Montessori? VPI??

Fwiw I’ve only heard positive things about Ashlawn from families who went there.

Pretty sure PP is talking about a private preschool.

Why do you have to be dealing with a preschool Director on a regular basis? Does your child have behavioral issues, medical condition, special needs? I’m not trying to be rude but that seems a bit unusual.

Nope thankfully none of the above. But they send out all the communications and are present at pick up and drop off and any parent events.
