[quote=Anonymous]Hi Everyone -  We are planning to send our child to Franklin Montessori.  We are very, very concerned about this report.  We've talked to several current parents who say that the child was left in the park for "just a few minutes" and the school Director ran to get her.  The latter tracks with what is written here but the former does not - was it "just a few minutes" or the hour that OP describes.  Did the school know she was missing, or is it only due to the OP calling the school?

Also unclear to us is why the school's Director goes personally to the park on Chesapeake street whenever kids play there?  This was reported earlier in this string?  Wouldn't she delegate this?

What are the procedures in place for taking kids to the park and into Rock Creek?  Are there any anticipated changes?

Does this have to do with the student-teacher ratio?  (Fully understanding that Montessori ratios are different from other daycares.)

Or a function of tired staff at the end of the day, as another poster suggested?

These are not meant to be rhetorical or annoying questions.  We're trying to cut through any disinformation and better understand what happened, and how the school is managed.  We really appreciate the OP telling the community about this incident, and we equally appreciate the perspective of the current parents we spoke with.

I'm not really sure how people can PM or share what they know directly with us (everything is anonymous here so not sure how it works), but if anyone with firsthand knowledge of the situation - either as witnesses at the park, or as current parents, can share here or otherwsie, we would be grateful.[/quote]
