[quote=Anonymous]As Sacred Heart has been mentioned on here several times, chiming in with my 2 cents as a former parent. We are a non-traditional family (2 moms) and found the school to be very warm and welcoming of our family. Not only did the school have an amazing curriculum and evidence of some _really special_ teaching going on (part of the local Project Zero consortium), but there was a truly beautiful sense of close-knit community there. There are some strong Catholic teachings in the school that we worried about with regard to some specific teachers in older grades... which is why we moved on. But we truly loved the school and were welcomed by the administration, teachers, other parents - and even one of the most devout parents in our child's class told me "But we need you here; if you're not here, our children don't have the opportunity to learn about all kinds of diversity." The student body was a true mix of diversity with mostly AA and Latino families with some east African and white or biracial kids sprinkled in.

So, while it may not be the best fit on the surface, I think it very much could be an option and - if you're interested - worth an honest conversation with the principal, Ms. Heil, about your concerns. It was also very affordable, centrally located, and aftercare was very flexible. Our child begged to stay in the afternoons to play with his friends.
