By sixth grade, my daughter had become deeply depressed at NGFS, and we were genuinely concerned…read morefor her mental health. Her early years were positive--she loved the Rainbow program, and we are especially grateful to Beth, who helped her develop a love of reading despite auditory processing challenges. Unfortunately, things changed significantly as she got older. In fourth grade, a tick bite during the week-long school trip was egregiously mishandled--whether due to a lack of protocol or a failure to follow one, the result is that she now lives with chronic Lyme disease. Our family has paid nearly $30,000 out-of-pocket for medical treatment, in addition to the high tuition we had already invested in the school. Academically, she was ahead in math, but when we advocated for her to take Math 1 in seventh grade, NGFS flat-out refused to consider it. After transferring to Greensboro Montessori, she was placed in Math 1 and earned a 96. She went on to earn As in each subsequent math course and is now in a senior-level math class as a 10th grader. Clearly, she was more than capable--she just needed a school willing to meet her where she was. My daughter ultimately asked to leave because she felt isolated and alienated. Although the school promotes inclusivity, she quickly realized this didn't seem to apply to students like her. When she tried to assert healthy boundaries with peers, she was often reprimanded--not for what happened, but for how she expressed herself. Ongoing micro-bullying from peers was never meaningfully addressed, even after I raised concerns. She thrived at Greensboro Montessori in 7th and 8th grade, where we found the environment far more supportive and attentive to real inclusivity. She is now thriving at Grimsley High School, where she has a 504 plan in place to support her health. To be fair, NGFS has a strong writing curriculum in the later elementary years, and my daughter's writing skills like owe much to those foundational years. But it's hard to reconcile that benefit with the emotional and physical toll she experienced. If I had to do it all over again, I would have moved her by third grade.

New Garden Friends School is a treasure in the Greensboro area. There is no other school that…read moreoffers a similar program. This school provides a safe, supportive, and gentle environment, rigorous academics, very low student teacher ratios, incredible academic support both in-class and one-on-one, a gorgeous campus in the historic woods of Guilford College, a social curriculum that teaches peacemaking, environmental sustainability, personal integrity, kindness and empathy, and community building, not to mention a fantastic arts program, and extra-curricular activities. I have been amazed at how my children have blossomed at this school. There is an incredible sense of community here and everyone knows each other by name and everyone is valued. Children are spoken to respectfully and encouraged to speak their truths, and parents are encouraged to be active in the classrooms and on campus. The school values inquiry-based and experiential learning, and outdoor education. I love that my children get to spend so much time outdoors each day and not stuck behind a desk or on a screen. They often have classes outside and regularly go on hikes through the surrounding historic woods. Starting as early as preschool, each class has their very own plot on the Guilford College farm directly adjacent to the school where they dig in the dirt, grow and care for their own plants, and learn about environmental sustainability. Students go on walks in the woods, care for streams, and develop a sense of wonder and joy as they spot fairy gardens and play amongst ancient oaks. It is truly magical. A childhood like this is priceless and we are so grateful that we found this school--so grateful that our children get to experience an education like this.

There is little advocacy for children, and the parents are afraid to say a word, lest their children become targets. The administration ambushes teachers at every turn, and I expected better than average academics from a private school. And, the well-known problem with bullying never gets addressed. Summit talks a good game, but they sidestep problems that cause significant issues for children. Don't put your child's education at risk; see you at FCDS.

I found sprouts right after Covid and had always seen it and knew that it would be where I would want my daughter to go afterschool. I was so glad when they were able to pick up from my daughter's school since my husband works crazy hours and I needed to work and could not get her directly from school. It has been one of the best choices I have made for my daughter and my family. They make every child feel seen and heard and support them with their schoolwork and tutoring even . As I have grown to know them over the years my daughter feels "at home" there and I feel like I have been supported as a mother as well. If you are looking for a "family" nurturing atmosphere for your child look no further than sprouts. I would recommend them time and time again and can not say enough good things about this business

Our son, Lorenzo, has been attending since he was just 1 year old and is now 3. Throughout that entire time, every teacher has shown him so much love, patience, and encouragement. Watching him build confidence, make friends, and look forward to going to school each day has been such a blessing. Communication with the staff has always been excellent, and it's clear that they genuinely care about every child in their classrooms. The teachers have become such an important part of Lorenzo's early years, and we are so thankful for the positive impact they've had on him. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be cared for, supported, and truly loved, I can't recommend this place enough. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of their community.

We serve little ones as young as six weeks old in our infant room, all the way through our Pre‑K program. Our infant room is led by Mrs. Saira, a gentle, attentive, and deeply nurturing teacher. She is always on point with her babies -- she knows their routines, understands their cues, and creates a calm, comforting space where each infant feels held and cared for. In the two‑year‑old room, the teacher is a little strict, but she gets things done. She keeps her group moving, learning, and staying on track with clear expectations and consistency. The three‑year‑old room is taught by a teacher who loves things clean, organized, and ready for learning. Her classroom always feels structured and peaceful because she sets routines that help her children feel confident and secure. And in the Pre‑K class, where I teach, I bring a balance of structure and warmth. I keep my classroom clean, organized, and predictable so my students know what to expect. I'm firm when needed, but everything I do comes from love and genuine care. I want my children to grow, feel proud of themselves, and be ready for kindergarten with confidence.
