We did not have the most pleasant experience here. Every day I picked up my nephew I'm told by his teacher that "he did so good today". They even send daily photos of him smiling and playing. Most days I pick him up, he is sad. The teacher often tells me that he gets sad when he sees that the kids are leaving and its time to leave school. In my head, I'm thinking he might want to stay longer. He's only there for two hours. This is only month 2 of him being there! Month two!
Without any warning or conversation from his teacher or the leader of the school they basically kicked him out via a letter they sent him home with, stating that he is not ready for a structured school environment.
You have no empathy, no consideration, and is not professional at all! The right thing to do, would be to call the parents in for a sit down! Not send him home with a letter and refund his money!
He is 2 years old! Isn't he expected to cry for the first month and a half of being in a new environment with complete strangers? Isn't this what kids/babies do?
As professional educators, shouldn't there be some strategies in place to help parents with this transition rather than just kicking them out?
I'm here wondering if something happened in school and you guys are withholding the information, or if this is a racial thing. I am sooooo confused!
But not to worry, he will thrive despite your unprofessional, non-empathetic, inconsiderate behavior!

I am very much disappointed with the I experience I had at Miss Midgies. My 2 yr old (25 months old) was basically kicked out of school for crying because he didn't want to take pictures on picture day. He came home with a letter in his folder stating he's not ready to be in a structured classroom setting because he cried a few times while at school and they were not able to calm him down, so a teacher would have to hold/comfort him while he's there.
All this information was completely new to me. Why aren't parents being contacted if kids are crying and the staff "can't seem to calm them down" or provide truthful and accurate updates to parents when they come to pick up their child? His teacher always says he does well on a day to day basis so I was in complete shock after reading the letter.
My plan was to reach out to them the following day to get a better understanding of what had happened and to see where to go from there. In my mind, I am thinking no 2 year old is actually ready for a structured school environment. That's the whole point of sending them, is for them to adopt to the environment.
Anyways, I got to work, not even an hour later, I received an email of a refund for the upcoming month I had already paid for. I was flabbergasted. No warnings, no conversation, no communication, no nothing. My baby was just kicked out just like that. The fact that he's such a good humble kid is what made this so surprising to me.
If you think a child is not ready for school because they cry for being in an environment full of strangers, that is completely understandable. But at lease have the decency to contact the parents and have a conversation instead of this unprofessional approach that was taken. I have never felt so insulted in my life.

There is so much I could say about my experience at Miss Midgies Pre School but I’m going to try keep it to the most important things. This is not an average pre school this is a school the reaches beyond all expectations. Sure we want our kids to get a good education and learn to socialize but at Midgies you get that and so much more. My son has developed so much over the past two years and I’m heartbroken that his time there has come to an end. What this school gave my son I don’t think he could have received anywhere else. He was barely talking when he began his journey, I was concerned about his speech. Now he’s blowing away all expectations. My son is an emotional child and they have always supported and helped him work through his hard days. The teachers CARE and I mean that to the deepest part of my Mama soul. To have someone love and care for your child as you do is something a mom dreams about. The programs they offer whether it be after class themed parties, babysitting nights, winter/summer camps and holiday events are unique in the best way. My son gets picked up everyday and is excited for the next day before we even buckle up. You will not regret sending your child to Midgies, I know I cannot wait for my daughter to start in the fall and I know my son will continue going to events and camps there as long as he’s able. This place is special.

My son loves Miss Midgies Pre School! All of the teachers are so sweet and welcoming and he always looks forward to going ! My nieces attended this school a couple of years ago and they loved it, when my son turned 2 we signed him up and he has enjoyed every day for the past 2 years he has been there! He tells me he has so much fun with the teachers and picks out specific outfits each day to show his teachers because “they will love it!” He’s made friends that he tells me about each day and he is learning so much!

My twins absolutely love Miss Midgies. They count the days down until they get to go back! As a parents perspective there is so much to offer she has “babysitting” hours after school party classes lots of options for a working parent ! The best thing my family and I love about Miss Midgies is how family oriented they are they want your child/children to thrive my 3 year olds are spelling basic sight words and their names. We are so excited we have joined the Miss midgies family
