I am writing this review in hopes that any prospective families will not be deterred by the negative review that was recently posted about Weekday School. I am a former teacher and parent of two children who attended Weekday full time. So first let me express my feelings about Weekday from a former employees prospective...
I was in charge of running the infant room, ages 6 weeks to 4-6 months depending on the development of the infant. This was my first time working in a daycare setting, but I had extensive experience as a caregiver. This was by far the best job I have ever had. Coming to work everyday was a joy and the staff there became a second family to me. The babies in that room were loved and treated as my own children, with unconditional love and attention. This was the standard for all the rooms/teachers and staff. My room as well as the school passed D.H.S annual inspection with flying colors. Every year I attended work shops to enhance my knowledge and skills on infant development. I also was able to work in other classrooms with different age groups while "floating". My goal was to provide loving care to the infants whie their parents are away. While conducting tours for prospective families I wanted to ensure my parents especially the mommies that this was the best place they could leave thier children. I feel that I succeeded in that goal especially since my room was running at full capacity. The infant program had a great reputation and since Weekday does not advertise like most other preschools/daycares do, the majority of the families were reffered by parents.
Nop as a parent of two children who attended Weekday for 3 years.....
My son and daughter both attended weekday.The best way to describe their experience was, that they were loved. The staff was incredible and knowledgeable. As with most preschools there is always a high turnover rate. That is not the case here. The majority of the teachers have been there well over 10 years. My son was being cared for by the teachers that were described as Ms. "K" and Ms. "R". I could not have asked for more womderful women to have providing care for my son. All of the teachers are knowledgable and nurturing. The school is clean and well maintained. The administrative staff are accessible and have no problem helping out in a classroom when needed.
I would just like to ad that there is a reason that this school has been around for as long as it has. Its reputation is impeccable and if you were to ask any of the families past and present I am sure that they will agree with me in saying, that when it comes to entrusting someone with the well being of their children that you will not find a better place than Weekday School. I miss it dearly and highly reccomend it to anyone who is looking for exceptional care for their little ones.
