[quote=Anonymous]We send our son to Frankin and are happy with it.

Pros:

- Child seems happy and is learning a ton. We are continually surprised by what he is capable of, and I think a fair amount of that is a testament to the school.

- Every teacher we have interacted with has been well-trained, kind, and effective. I know a family who has had a kid in each teacher's class and have loved every single teacher (or at least thought the teacher was a good fit for that child.

- The facilities are incredibly clean and well cared for.

- Location is great for us.

- The cost, while eye-popping, completely replaces secondary childcare for us because of the year round program and extended care.  It is actually a much more cost effective option for us than part time pre-school and childcare.

- Convenient location for us.

- Despite the park incident, I have always felt safe leaving my child there.

Cons:

- Expensive.

- Parking is a PITA.

- Outdoor play space is cramped (somewhat compensated for by a good nature program and trips to the playground).

Regarding teachers, I've been impressed with all of them. Regarding Randy, I like her but some people don't. She can come across as a bit flippant and dismissive. She also has a reputation for being nasty if you move your child to public kindergarten rather then letting them graduate through Franklin. The reason I look past those issues is because its obvious to me she cares deeply about the school, she seems to know every kid's name and usually a fair bit about their personality, and she takes her job very seriously, which I can appreciate in a director.[/quote]
