We've had excellent teachers and we really appreciate the Central Park campus. We love the animals, the outdoor areas and the focus on nature, art and science.
We have a child in Lower Elementary Summer Camp and we do think that it is inappropriate for the school to hold the two teachers responsible for 15+ young children ages 5-7 in the water at the pool each Friday. The teachers do their best, but there are several parents concerned with this setup. Each Friday, many (from 2-4 each week) have taken off work to attend the pool to supervise as they do not feel MCHD is providing adequate water safety supervision for these young children. The teachers are not to blame - the school needs to staff this outing better. I do not know any parent who would take responsibility for this many children in the water simultaneously. The lifeguards at the pool are teenagers not watching closely either. This is a risk to the children and a risk to your business that needs better staffing.
