[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was there until he went in K last fall. We really liked all the teachers there, but there was A LOT of staff turnover, sometimes with little or no warning. I liked the fact that it was play based and non-academic, and thought it was a nice environment, but would never rave about it. [/quote]

Curious why didn't you switch schools? And why is there a long wait list if it's nothing to rave about?

[/quote]

Because my son had friends and was settled there. Plus there aren't so many full day options, and no place is perfect. As I mentioned, we liked all of the teachers there, it was just the turnover that bugged me. [/quote]

I'm surprised to hear of high turnover.  I thought NAEYC accredited programs typically have low teacher turnover? [/quote]

I thought the same thing but found out that NAEYC only comes every 4 years. The assistant in our room is okay but our teacher who we loved left late last summer. She told us that she was the eighth or ninth person to leave since the year started. They've continued to lose teachers since then but I'm not sure why. I have a friend at the Howard location and she says they don't have the same problem with turnover.[/quote]
