[quote=Anonymous]We are St. Pat's parents and have been very happy with the school and parent community. The nursery years were tougher, because many parents tend to socialize at that age with their friends, so they don't care as much about play dates with your kid if they don't know you - and I realized its not really personal at that point, it is about parent convenience. Especially for the ones who have multiple older children. We were able to easily plan play dates with families that had one child, or where their nursery age child was the oldest. So, maybe that was not a St. Pat's thing, but an age thing? I haven't experienced another independent school yet as a parent, so I can't compare there. As we moved further into lower school, and children's friendships become more clear, and parents seem very eager to ensure that everyone in a class is included in parties and events. My DH and I did not select a school hoping to find friends for ourselves, we were looking for a school that would be the very best fit for our child, but we've ended up really finding a great group of people there that I do consider real friends. The people we've become close with are mostly parents of classmates, but as I've volunteered more, I have met many parents from other grades and become friends with them too. [/quote]
