Full Circle Montessori - how is the campus / outdoor space?

[Anonymous]

Looking for insights / feedback from current parents. I've talked with the director who seemed lovely and very very knowledgeable. My two big questions are:

1 - how do you feel they handled the shutdown this year? I understand that they are not going to do in person until January 2021 - which makes sense to wait after the holidays - but how is the 'parent coaching' going? Do you feel they were able to pivot well since March and provide support to you and you child?

2 - other big question is what is the outdoor / playground situation like? I gather there isn't much green space at either of the 3 campuses - is this correct? So what do the kids do for outside time? And what exactly is the plan now - since outdoor space is pretty important in this new normal of the pandemic... I couldn't quite understand during my chat with the director. Also how do you find the building in general? Are they modern / safe? Director mentioned all buildings are part of the affordable housing association buildings?

Thank you parents for any insights! Looks like a lovely program!

We are not at Full Circle, but just popping in to say I don’t think it’s realistic that any school that hasn’t opened yet is going to open for the first time in January. Cases will likely be high then because of the holidays and because it’s cold so we’ll all be spending more time inside (sharing germs) and because more pandemic fatigue will have set it. This isn’t getting BETTER in the middle of winter.

Since they moved from their north Arlington location, are they thinking about opening another north Arlington campus next year?
