Atascadero Cooperative Preschool is an absolutely amazing place. This school not only welcomes…read moreparent participation, but actively encourages and requires it. Kids are allowed to be kids here, and learn through play. One of the most important things to take away from this is that this is a school, and not a day care. Your child will be stimulated, and will have great stories to tell at the end of each school day, whether it's about one of the pets in the classroom, or one of the field trips they go on.

The family involvement makes this school uniquely successful. With an education background, I have high standards. This is not daycare.

My 2 oldest have even chosen to continue the Spanish program in middle school and plan to earn the state biliteracy seal by the end of high school! The teachers are great and communicate very well when you need them. My kids have always loved every teacher they've had there. The office staff treats you you with respect and helps you with whatever you need. There are many opportunities for parents to help out and volunteer, to become involved with the kids and the school. We are glad we chose to place all 4 of our kids at Georgia Brown for their early education.

My daughter attended the school from kindergarten to first grade. It was sad seeing her friends…read morestart the school and kindergarten and then leave before first grade for their many different reasons. My daughter had amazing teachers, and I really wanted her to embrace the Spanish language. However, I decided to transfer her to Pat Butler where I was going to send my son who had speech issues because I wanted him to just learn English. What I discovered in changing schools is how dirty Georgia Brown is. Litter is everywhere spilled lunch not cleaned up. How is the school so dirty compared to other schools like Pat Butler?-- and it's not just because it's older, it's the people that attend the school. I discovered that they don't do background checks on everyone who volunteers. Sure there's a volunteer packet, but they don't hold responsible and they don't lay down the rule if those are not filled out. People volunteer and are able to volunteer with or without the back ground check/ Tb shot. They are not that organized to openly discuss where the children will be during certain drastic weather conditions, like Pat Butler does. Probably because they just make them all go outside even if it's freezing cold. As far as the PTA, they don't really know how to organize events or make money for the school like I have seen at Pat Butler. They don't know how to reach out to resources for donations for the raffle's. They just asked the kids and the parents to bring knickknacks. Georgia Brown is right across from some apartments and upon picking the children up from school I have seen gross full dirty diapers along the curb side, like the people that live in those apartments live just as dirty. I went to the office and ask them if they were going to call the city to come clean up the streets and they told me, "why don't you call".... so they obviously do not care about their perimeters being kept clean. I will just say I am super glad that I've switched my children to a better school. Of course I love the language of Spanish and I had wished that so much for my family, but not at the expense of the conditions at Georgia Brown.
