[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is a real shame but I"m not surprised.

My kids went to Crossway for the Montessori program from ages 1 - 5.  It was in many ways an amazing school and a great experience for them.  However, the management is a nightmare -- strange, ego-driven, rigid, and completely unwilling to look at parents' perspective.

One year they suddenly raised fees for the after care portion by over 100% with no notice.  When a group of parents strenuously objected, the response was that they didn't really approve of after care anyway and shouldn't we have a parent staying home with the kids after they finished the Montessori program anyway?

Wow, my DD went to Crossway from age 3 to 5 in the early 2000s, and there was never any mention of raising aftercare fees or looking down on working parents. In fact, one of the impressive things about the school to me was how they integrated the single struggling moms and their kids who live at Crossway (do they still have that program?) with neighborhood children. Those moms certainly needed aftercare.[/quote]
