After joining OCH, I fell in love with the school and the care the teachers provide my kids. OCH is a smaller center and the teacher to student ratios are small which really allows the teachers to give the kids the love and attention they need throughout the day to feel welcome and regulated. OCH was recently re-certified as a 5 star center which goes beyond what I thought a daycare could provide! I love to see the creative way they teach the kids the weekly topics vs. worksheets or teacher curated crafts. They learn through play and the teachers work on social emotional learning and helping the kids learn how to regulate when they are upset. Additionally, it is a co-op daycare, meaning the parents have active involvement in the success of the school. We moved to the area in 2023, and I realized almost all of our friends are parents from the daycare. Listening to other parents talk yesterday about not having "mom friends," I mentioned all my mom friends are from our daycare and my friend replied: "that's because your daycare encourages parents to get to know each other! Mine is just drop him off, see you later." She's right - we have monthly get togethers with the other parents and kids and it's a great way to make new parent friends, which can be so hard these days. All of that is to say, we love OCH and I wouldn't consider sending my kids elsewhere.

My granddaughter was there for one day and will not ever go back! She is 7 weeks old and the staff…read moreonly held her to give her a bottle or change her diaper then it was right back to an empty crib staring up at a ceiling ALL DAY LONG. She cries when something is wrong and once you fix it she's a very happy baby but instead of picking her up to see if she had wet her diaper before 2 hours was up they would pat her and leave her in that crib. Then an hour before she was picked up they ran out of milk but didn't call to tell mom or dad they just let her cry! Dad arrived to pick her up and when he asked why they let her cry in the crib like that they said they were trying to let her self soothe. Babies at 7 weeks cannot self-soothe! It is not appropriate until 3-4 months at the earliest. Obviously the staff are not educated on caring for an infant!!! Imagine what it would do to an infant to lie in one spot and see nothing but a white ceiling for 8 hours a day except for the few minutes it takes to change it's diaper or get a bottle. With no stimulation the babies brain would be under developed at a crucial most important time of its life! Not only that it cost 290.00 for that one day of torture! I'm LIVID!

By sixth grade, my daughter had become deeply depressed at NGFS, and we were genuinely concerned…read morefor her mental health. Her early years were positive--she loved the Rainbow program, and we are especially grateful to Beth, who helped her develop a love of reading despite auditory processing challenges. Unfortunately, things changed significantly as she got older. In fourth grade, a tick bite during the week-long school trip was egregiously mishandled--whether due to a lack of protocol or a failure to follow one, the result is that she now lives with chronic Lyme disease. Our family has paid nearly $30,000 out-of-pocket for medical treatment, in addition to the high tuition we had already invested in the school. Academically, she was ahead in math, but when we advocated for her to take Math 1 in seventh grade, NGFS flat-out refused to consider it. After transferring to Greensboro Montessori, she was placed in Math 1 and earned a 96. She went on to earn As in each subsequent math course and is now in a senior-level math class as a 10th grader. Clearly, she was more than capable--she just needed a school willing to meet her where she was. My daughter ultimately asked to leave because she felt isolated and alienated. Although the school promotes inclusivity, she quickly realized this didn't seem to apply to students like her. When she tried to assert healthy boundaries with peers, she was often reprimanded--not for what happened, but for how she expressed herself. Ongoing micro-bullying from peers was never meaningfully addressed, even after I raised concerns. She thrived at Greensboro Montessori in 7th and 8th grade, where we found the environment far more supportive and attentive to real inclusivity. She is now thriving at Grimsley High School, where she has a 504 plan in place to support her health. To be fair, NGFS has a strong writing curriculum in the later elementary years, and my daughter's writing skills like owe much to those foundational years. But it's hard to reconcile that benefit with the emotional and physical toll she experienced. If I had to do it all over again, I would have moved her by third grade.

New Garden Friends School is a treasure in the Greensboro area. There is no other school that…read moreoffers a similar program. This school provides a safe, supportive, and gentle environment, rigorous academics, very low student teacher ratios, incredible academic support both in-class and one-on-one, a gorgeous campus in the historic woods of Guilford College, a social curriculum that teaches peacemaking, environmental sustainability, personal integrity, kindness and empathy, and community building, not to mention a fantastic arts program, and extra-curricular activities. I have been amazed at how my children have blossomed at this school. There is an incredible sense of community here and everyone knows each other by name and everyone is valued. Children are spoken to respectfully and encouraged to speak their truths, and parents are encouraged to be active in the classrooms and on campus. The school values inquiry-based and experiential learning, and outdoor education. I love that my children get to spend so much time outdoors each day and not stuck behind a desk or on a screen. They often have classes outside and regularly go on hikes through the surrounding historic woods. Starting as early as preschool, each class has their very own plot on the Guilford College farm directly adjacent to the school where they dig in the dirt, grow and care for their own plants, and learn about environmental sustainability. Students go on walks in the woods, care for streams, and develop a sense of wonder and joy as they spot fairy gardens and play amongst ancient oaks. It is truly magical. A childhood like this is priceless and we are so grateful that we found this school--so grateful that our children get to experience an education like this.

Both of my children loved attending KJP and were well prepared for kindergarten. Krystal, the director, has done a fantastic job over the years of growing the school and establishing a great environment for the kids. The teachers and staff are great, and several of them have been there since we first enrolled our kids almost five years ago. Things were a little different for a while during COVID but everything has since returned to normal. Hours are 7:30-5:15. A few years ago they redid the playground in the back and it's really nice. There is a nice courtyard bu the entrance and exit doors that they have improved as well. Since last year there has also been a security guard present for much of the time, though I don't know if this is expected to be permanent. One of the parents also set up a Discord chat group for KJP families; I did not participate but I've heard it's pretty active. If you are looking for a preschool you would be well served to check out KJP. Your kids will be in excellent hands there!
