Calvert School

I'm a first year parent here with a kindergartner. The person in charge of enrollment provided me with incorrect directions that conflicted with the directions from the district. 504 coordinator is difficult to collaborate with due to her misinterpretation of federal law and she essentially will not led any other staff member or parent have a say in the process. She also appears to have outdated and somewhat ableist ideas about neurodivergence. She also provided a plan with someone else's signature on it from a previous year. As a fellow social worker,I was disappointed in her ethics.Principal seems MIA. I've never seen her on campus. If you contact her,she immediately hands you off to ineffective staff.Parents seem very active but in a social way that means a lot of events and constant fundraisers. I'm not sure where the proceeds go. The school looks worn down and the library selections can be inappropriate. Kindergarteners are taught in a way that does not seem age appropriate. According to my child, the teacher yells. My child dreads going to school which is weird for a kindergartner,in my opinion.

Don't send your kid , I know they make parents on enroll their kids because they don't want to be helpful for special needs children what a shame disgusting what kind of principal do they have there.

I love my daughter's teachers past and present. Miss former administrator team though. We knew exactly where and I loved their no nonsense attitude towards the students.

This school is terrible it starts with the front office the have a terrible attitude so why would the kids have a good attitude you walk in they don’t greet you at all you sit there and they won’t say anything they must of found the rudest people to work there I hate this school nobody is nice there

Our son is in his second year at A Child's Place and loves it here! He barely stops to say goodbye when we drop him off in the morning, and he comes home full of stories of all the things they’ve learned all day. The teachers are great and the space itself is wonderful, both the indoor classrooms and the campus itself where the kids take walks and explore. Such a lovely place for littles to learn and grow.
