I was pretty disappointed in this school since it was so highly touted as being Blue Ribbon…read morequality. KB kindergarten teacher had a poor disposition regarding patience and overall politeness all year long, and I see it continuing even now. The teacher lacked at being able to identify physical, learning, or behavior disabilities in children, even when prompted repeatedly by parents or family members to identify and investigate concerns, and is quick to place blame on a child instead with no offering of guidance counseling, or remedial help. It is up to a parent to inquire or initiate that on their own, and you can't do it if you don't know about it. Two children were held back in kindergarten KB for school year ending 2015 due lack of problem identification early on and implementation of remedies with inclusion of parent involvement. Discipline in kindergarten is structured by isolation of the child in a visible way for the class to view, which results in esteem problems and confidence issues, or at least in one situation it did. I attend Mass with my daughter and witness several teachers having a serious case of the nasties on a daily basis, both kindergarten teachers and one with over dyed red hair. The principal, although a nice man, seems to kind of bumble through his job. I think he thinks if he ignores a problem, it will resolve itself. Rarely responding to parent concerns, even if it is a nail that is sticking out of a tunnel play structure on the playground for a child to hit her head on. It's still there, three and a half years later. The Financial secretary does not respond to emails and is eternally late in updating information with regards to tuition questions, things just wind up mysteriously "corrected" on accounts. Our first grade teacher Mrs. Sullivan was wonderful, my daugther's in second grade this year and is happy with her teacher, the school secretary is wonderful, the school receptionist is wonderful, the nurse is wonderful, but is not there everyday. If your child has a peanut allergy or asthma, and no one is there who can administer an Epi-Pen or help with an inhaler, that's a potential fatal problem. If you think your child might have a physical impairment or allergy, learning or behavior disability, this school is not for you or your child. If your child is smart and healthy and you want to involve them in this school, I would wait till first grade for enrollment.
