[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the vibe at the school? Crunchy? Religious? Attachment parenting? Etc? [/quote]

God, I sincerely hope parents of 10 year-olds aren't still identifying at attachment parents.  [/quote]

I have three kids under the age of 6 and we are looking at early education options. Just curious about the parenting styles. We are at another co-op for preschool and there are some strong opinions there. Just wondering what it's like at River Farm.

Hi - thanks for your message. I would say that all schools have a range of parents with varying parenting styles, and River Farm is no exception to that. There are parents with strong opinions, but honestly, people are very open to discussing new ideas and ways of doing things as far as I've experienced. We also have a handbook with guidelines for parents to try and be on the same page when co-oping at school precisely so the kids are not confused by the different parenting styles. The teachers are great about helping us out with that as well, and leading by example. They are also very accessible to parents with questions about how to handle certain situations. Honestly, I've learned a lot from my co-oping days there, and I now apply much of what I've learned there at home as well. [/quote]
