North Salem Elementary School

If you like flexibility...don't enroll your kids here You have to choose a drop off time and pick up time which they are very strict on.... god forbid life happens or you want to spend some extra time with your kids. I was eventually asked to leave this daycare for dropping my son off at 930 because I wanted to have breakfast time with my son some mornings. Also the kids are not allowed to eat out of snack time.... If you like good communication from director and teachers......don't enroll your kids here Everytime I brought up a concern I was given excuses and never given a solution If you like a big play yard free of concrete and gravel...don't enroll your kids here. Most if the kids under one are strapped in a stroller for up to an hour watching the other kids play..so sad If you like to be able to drop your kids off in their rooms in the morning.....not an option here I was here for almost a year and was frowned upon when I asked to drop my son off in his classroom.Bottom line I never felt welcome here and was always looked at differently as soon as I brought up my first concern. I enjoyed one teacher who was great with the kids but they soon cut her hours due to trying to give the kids more freedom so she moved on. I did like the young toddler teacher and was happy with the crafts they did. That was the only thing I enjoyed out of my whole experience here. I would have moved on sooner but my options were very limited. I truly hope they change things here for the kids and parents sake.

The school hires teachers without even education degrees to teach. The turnover rate of teachers due to covering up large issues is great and every 2 years seems to be new staff. The kids are not well cared for and often are belittled by the prinicpal. They take on kids they can’t handle just for the money.
