The Raleigh School

This school has been nothing but AMAZING! Everyone is so nice and welcoming! My children love this school. It is very special to know the teachers know and welcome the kids with smile on their faces.

Incredible school and thats why we are willing to drive 30mins to send my kids to this school.

RUINED MY MENTAL HEALTH. Please don’t send ur kids here there so much drama and bullying. The teachers don’t even teach and ur forced to wear hijab. The boys were ALWAYS favored. They got to eat outside for lunch and we had to eat in. I transferred schools and now my mental health is so much better. DONT SEND YOUR KID HERE.

This school embodies their name. They seek the best for students in all aspects and offer a loving and nurturing environment for students to learn.

Trigger Warning for POC & all allies of injustice.I’d like to start by saying that the principal of the school once mentioned she was more American than my Blackfoot boyfriend.I’m not sure where the competitive pride came from, but I digress. My daughter (the only POC in her class, 1 of a handful in her school) reported getting hit 3 days in a row by a boy about 1.5yrs older than her in her class. The principal stated that she was making it up since no other adult witnessed it. However, the mother of the boy confirmed that he was diagnosed with dyslexia, & resorted to hitting first, since using words to express himself was difficult. She also revealed that he had the same issue last year. My boyfriend, a previous sports director for 200+ kids, expressed the necessary protocol of a meeting. When it was once again dismissed, he emphasized that we will be telling our daughter to defend herself, since telling an adult was being overlooked. I did not bring my daughter to school the next two days awaiting a response about having a meeting. She had been increasingly anxious about going to school. Her cues of putting her head down while approaching the school, slowing her pace while walking towards the entrance, ect, confirmed that she was indeed stressed. Thankfully I didn’t bring her to school, because the principal mentioned that she contemplated calling the police for the morning drop off assembly. She feared that two reasonably concerned parents were going to fight the boys parents and her, since we were so adamant about a meeting

Our family has been at Follow the Child for three years, and our experience has been nothing short of outstanding. We have one child in Toddler House and another in the Children’s House, both of which have exceeded our expectations across the board. I love that the school’s administrators are out front every morning greeting students as they arrive, always warm and welcoming. All of the teachers and staff are kind, respectful, and genuine, and it is very clear they care deeply about each child’s development. I have seen them go above and beyond to foster each child’s unique strengths and abilities, and as a result, we’ve seen incredible growth in our children during our time at the school.Our children feel safe, nurtured, and supported, and it shows in how much they love going to school each day. I truly believe Follow the Child has instilled a love of learning in our kids that will stay with them for life. Enrolling our children in the school is one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents, and we feel grateful every day to be part of such a thoughtful, caring, and close-knit community. We could not recommend the school more!
