Fantastic place to work & send your outdoor loving kiddos! Firs and Fiddleheads blends stewardship…read moreof the outdoors with Christian values, focusing on play as serious work. It's on a beautiful, old growth campus filled with varying wildlife to observe! 100/10

I worked here summer 2022 and hated it so much I put my two weeks in barely a month after I…read morestarted. They are an incredibly unorganized (unlicensed) childcare option and offered little to no training on child safety protocol for their staff, at summer camp the head teacher barely gave any instruction to kids and families on safety expectations and rules. Children were constantly getting hurt and the head teacher did little to provide appropriate consequences when my coworkers and I would bring incidents to her attention. I was one of the only teachers that would actually accompany kids to the bathroom, the head teacher would send 4 year olds to the bathroom out of sight by themselves every day and was shocked when I would go to accompany them with another camper to maintain ratio. She provided so little structure during the day that kids were completely under stimulated and their behavior problems that had been enabled throughout the school year were exacerbated in the summer. I felt like there was so little I could do to support my campers in a way that would be supported by the Firs. I have worked in childcare for many years and this is the worst place I've ever worked. Do not work here, do not send your kids here, their negligence is going to land them in a lawsuit some day. The homophobia too.....

It kind of sounds like AP and CP had a run in with the old principal. If I was rating this school…read morewhen he was there JUST on him, it would have been a 1/2 star. He was really really bad at his job. It got so bad I had to tell him he wasn't allowed to discipline my daughter without us present and he was not to have contact with my wife regarding school issues. NOW, so you understand I was these guys in 2014 as well, you should also appreciate that the new principle is EVERYTHING the other wasn't. He is kind, patient, parent friendly, respects women and is leading the school in a wonderful direction! I am an alumni of BCS, my daughter went there from 1-8th grade and my son will probably do the same. AGAIN, we were leaving this school before they fired the other guy, SO glad we stayed!

This is a small private school and unlike a public school they are not required to provide…read moreadditional resources to vulnerable populations such as ESL or special needs students. This, in combination with small class sizes, allows for a certain level of increased academic rigour. That being said, any of the legal provisions which protect students at a public school, such as rights to privacy and anti-bullying laws or teacher professionalism and credentials processes, do not have to be observed at this or any private school. At BCS in particular, these rules are not independently supported either. Furthermore, the school's administrator is punitive and capricious in his discipline tactics. He shows little regard for parent input, and is particularly dismissive of women in general. He is terse and stern with the older students, and often selects one or two students to malign as the class parriah. He does this in a very personal and calculated way. As an alumni of BCS as well as an educational professional who is invested in this community, I do not recommend this school.
