Only 1 star taken off because a lot of the teachers are new this year, 2022/2023 so they haven't quite learned the "Devon Forest way" yet. High quality school. Highly recommend!!

Meeting Street is the name of a private school supervision company. This school has some friendly and outgoing staff, some of whom I met when they stopped me in the hall just to shake my hand no doubt seeing my visitor pass on my jacket. The school looks freshly painted on the outside, with a number of outbuildings which appear to be classroom spaces. A basketball court with one basket and a failing basketball net is an outside gathering space for recess activities and picnic styled tables. The main building's halls are well decorated with some students art and writings, plus lots of motivational posters. Quite inviting, both in the personnel and the facilities.

My daughter loves her K4 teacher and they are very open for parent involvement in the classroom. The parking area sucks though especially for special events. Picking up and dropping off can get annoying at times because of the traffic that accrues off Royle Rd but there's no way to avoid it. They do have cross guards who will help move traffic along when needed, which is helpful when you're trying to make a left out of the school.

Constant contact with the school. I receive weekly emails from the director, updating me on lesson plans and any special events (think field trips and fundraisers). The teachers call parents monthly to address any concerns or questions we may have. Each month, photos of my child are uploaded to a private Snapfish account. They're cloth diaper friendly! Your child brings their own lunch each day, or you can opt to order lunch (menus and order forms are available from the school). Right now, my sons options for ordering lunch are Mac and Cheese from McAlisters Deli one on day, or Grilled Chicken from Applebee's on another day. Refrigerators and microwaves are available in the classroom, so my son generally takes leftovers for lunch. Also, the school is completely nut free! Okay...but what about academics?? Each week has a theme. Let's take the week they learned about dental health as an example. It included making tooth artwork, reading books about teeth, a visit from a dentist and learning the Spanish word for teeth (diente). In the short time my son has been in attendance, he's made so much progress. Their program truly is Kindergarten Prep. I can't wait until my younger son begins school here in the fall.

It has been such a FANTASTIC experience. The director knew every kid by name. The teachers were superb and absolute saints! They taught her so much this past year. My kid never wanted to miss school, not even for fun stuff. She knows her alphabet, numbers, some blends, colors, shapes, how to behave in a structured environment, and more. I felt she was safe and very well cared for. Absolute five stars and will recommend to anyone else who lives in the area.
