[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re a piece of work. How much more notice do you need? Neon signs, smoke signals, or what? They sent an email, you didn’t open it. They sent a paper, you threw it away.

You failed as a parent here. It’s OK!! Now you know to open and read the emails and to read the papers that the teacher sent home.

OP said she went back and found the email and it just invited parents to the pageant. It did not say early pick up. My experience with church-based preschools is:
1. Most schools post big signs starting the week ahead of any schedule changes and have teachers remind parents at pick-up all week. Basically the equivalent of neon signs! 
2. At church preschool where many families also attend the affiliated church, there is an assumption that all families have the same information. But they don’t. Church families see each other and the preschool teachers / director at Wed night dinner and on Sunday. Church moms often have a moms group separate from their bible study group which is also moms. There is a lot of interaction. There is an also a lot of tradition and regular rhythm to the liturgical calendar if you grew up in the same denomination and some things are just assumed. 
3. Any preschool that normally has pick-up between 11am and 1pm assumes that a parents / grandparent / nanny is available mid-day. The assumptions about lead time and parent flexibility are very different than a school that caters to parents seeking 8am - 6pm childcare. [/quote]

I’m not naive enough to believe that OP is the only parent who doesn’t go to that church to know to pick up early. To believe that the preschool/daycare did not send out notification. If that had been the case, you better believe there would’ve been other parents who didn’t pick up on time.

Thank you. If the preschool had dropped the ball the way she claims, half the class would have still been sitting there eating cookies. But they weren’t. Hmm.[/quote]
