Let me preface this by stating I don't have a child who goes here, so I can't speak to the overall experience. However, I get coffee from Radio Roasters often. Their small outdoor space faces the coffee shop so I see the kids and teachers outside often. The teachers are almost always on their phones. Recently I saw a toddler crying, trying to get the teacher's attention. She did finally get off her phone but I didn't see her tending to the child up to the point I walked inside the coffee shop. When I came back out the lady looked my way, but she still stayed on her phone all the while I got into the car to leave. I will say the other two teachers were appearing to interact with some of the other children, but the other lady couldn't look away from her phone. As I stated, often both teachers are glued to their phones every time I come. Was surprised this was a Reggio Emilia school, as what I've observed doesn't fall in line with its philosophy. If this were just a daycare I guess it wouldn't bother me as much since these specialized early childhood schools often command a much higher cost to parents. The expectation is the children get the benefits of experienced, dedicated teachers, not just whomever they can get as is the case in most daycares. As the mom of a toddler, I was especially bothered seeing the la k of response to the children crying. I'm grateful that we have been able to avoid daycare up to this point since these are my exact concerns with these places. The owners/directors should definitely try to implement some rules around phones, so caretakers will be more engaged, since we all know everyone is addicted to their phone. This is a reasonable request for most jobs, particularly when your job is to be present and responsive to young learners. Ok, stepping off my soapbox now. read more
