If you don’t communicate with the current preschool and advise that you are considering leaving because you feel your concerns are not being met, them you will be in the same position as before. Preschools overall do listen to parents. You should attempt open communication regarding your issue and your proclivity to leave if your satisfaction is not met. Don’t keep transitioning your kid unless you do at least this. Also, you kept saying there are little things that they consistently keep missing. Well, they are little things. Care overall good? They deserve the direct conversation. I think if more parents had this conversation vs just leaving immediately it would be better overall for everyone, especially the child.


I have communicated to them. They did not offer solutions or respond to mine. They might be little things - but so many little things leads me to be worried. COVID protocols changed and we were notified (even if I am fine with them, I’d still like to know.). I am not sure their “punishment” techniques are a best practice. This year has been so weird I just can’t tell if my concerns are valid, but the way they dismissed me without any sort of resolution is frustrating. My child seems happy there, so there’s that.


Tell them you are considering leaving because you feel the way you do. BE DIRECT! They may think they solved the problem. You have to give them that.

Is this your first experience at a preschool? It is hard to say as there will be always be things you like in a school and also things that you think can be improved. Have you communicated your concerns with the director?

I don’t love my child’s pre-school? What things do you look for to believe your child is well taken care of and secondly learning? I just don’t know what’s normal and wonder if I am over thinking things.

There are some little things that happen consistently and I wonder if this is a red flag? Communication concerns me too (like not being told about a change in COVID protocols.
