[quote=Anonymous]It wasn't an issue of hearing incorrectly.  I asked specifically if they would be learning numbers- the teacher COULD have referenced the curriculum but didn't.  She instead stated: "We will not be teaching numbers unless the parents ask us specifically."  When I was shocked and said: "My child counts all the time." She said "Yes, I heard DC count today and even count backwards."

There is an obvious disconnect between the teachers, curriculum and directors.  I'm not sure how much more clear that could be from my interaction.  The teachers have a direct interaction with the children and are the ones teaching the children.  If, out of their own mouths, they tell me as a parent they will not be teaching numbers unless the parents ask specifically- then as a parent and my child's advocate I will not assume that they'll just "adhere to the curriculum" because it's stated on their website and brochure.  When the morning preschool teacher disagreed with the afternoon teacher's statement and said "We will be teaching up to the number 5"- the disconnect is not with one teacher, but now with both.

I can say had I not had prior experience with another preschool/daycare, that I may not have thought much of this.  But these are questions I asked of our prior preschool/daycare and not only were all teachers/aides/ and director on board, but they could take me around and show me what the children had done that day or the previous day.

I came on here to tell the existing/future parents my experience.  I do encourage that each parent ask the directors, teachers, and aides for themselves- take note.  AND drop in to visibly see what your child is learning- or not learning.  We made our decision to pull our child out not just because of this disconnect, but because of several red flags during the first few days alone.  Combined those issues signaled a larger problem for us- and we made our decision.[/quote]
