[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NPS parent here - to the responsiveness question - I find the teachers to not only be available and responsive to parents, but also proactive and very thoughtful about reaching out when issues or concerns arise in the classroom that we may not be seeing at home.  This is not only relevant to the teachers, but also to Malcolm Lester head of school who knows the kids well and seemingly remembers all the parents as well!  Likely also the case at BVR, you can’t make a bad choice![/quote]

I have to agree. The best part about NPS is the personalized experience--the staff will know you and your child by name pretty quickly. My husband and I aren't the typical independent school family, and we aren't religious, but all of us feel so welcomed. The staff is always responsive and communicative, down to the aftercare staff and heck, even the safety officer. It's a warm and sincere environment from the heart. [/quote]

Another current NPS parent - had to share this anecdote: our child was just having a behavior issue (nothing major, age appropriate for the young age) after a few changes at home.  The teacher proactively reached out to share what she was seeing and offer some Suggestions so we can all be consistent.  She also told The counseling teacher to work in some relevant Scenarios to her class with the kids to further reinforce how to handle big feelings in a constructive way.  We are also going to meet with the the counselor to get any additional ideas.

I feel very supported as a parent and like we are all a team focused on the emotional growth of our young child. I am feeling extremely impressed by and grateful for NPS at this moment and wanted to share as folks consider their options.  Best of luck!![/quote]

This has been my experience as well. Almost exact in nature.[/quote]
