She's very friendly (I'm sorry you got that impression from her).  As a parent at CM, let me say that she is an extremely friendly, warm and wonderful person.  She also loves kids.  I know she was at the expo all day - so you may have caught her at a moment when she sat down for a minute to take a break (as 7 hours is a lot of time to be talking to people).  If you haven't yet, come on by one of our open houses and get a chance to meet her.  She is truly amazing![/quote]

I am the poster who originally said that I was not impressed and was disappointed by Creative Minds.  There were three young women just standing there behind the table.  When I walked up they did not greet me.  I greeted them and started asking my questions.  One woman smiled in a friendly way and answered my questions, while the other two just stood there next to her with sour looks on their faces.  I finally asked who they were since I was directing my questions at the three and two of the three did not respond or acknowledge me.  One said she was an office administrator or something.  They seemed  young and not together and just kept directing me to the open house.  Obviously we know you need to go to the open house, but answering the preliminary questions in an engaging manner would have been helpful.  As it turns out, I will not go to the open house based on this exchange and will just put my app in and deal with them later if we get in.[/quote]

Just out of curiosity PP, are you AA?  I had a similar experience, and observed the staff who were there when I was there to react differently to other (non-AA) parents who walked up.  I tried not to make assumptions, but the lack of response was very tangible to me.[/quote]

Hmmm...I am AA. I met an AA family at the Black Student Fund who told me that the pulled their AA son out of Creative Minds because of negative treatment by the teachers. They said that they believed it is not the place for little black boys. I chalked this up to their personal experience and not necc. An accurate reflection of how another child's experience would be. I will have to ask CM about this. [/quote]
