The preschool is awful! Admin said i can stay with my kid on his first day & then did not let me, said parents are not allowed to go in the class or playground. Teachers dont wash or wipe down toys & surfaces, but only use a disinfectant spray. The classroom is grimey! They said my kid had trouble opening his lunch and spilled it on the floor. Theres no extra, so he didnt eat lunch that day, was STARVING when I got him! He had an injury, i asked the teacher what happened, she just said "I don't know". Kids spend all day outside where they play by themselves and teachers talk to each other. Took my 3yr old on a bus a mile away from the school & did not tell me! Went to admin with my concerns, they made excuses & offered no resolution. I told them I was pulling my kid out (without my $12,100 refund) & i said why, no reply. Do NOT put your child here! Ive been a pre-k teacher for 18 yrs, this place is not good for anyone. Ask questions & pay attention, you will easily see for yourself!

They helped me achieve a 3.8 GPA. The school I was at I didn't really wanna do work because the teachers weren't a big help. Once I moved to new garden my whole mindset changed.

New Garden Friends School is a treasure in the Greensboro area. There is no other school that offers 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 go...

By sixth grade, my daughter had become deeply depressed at NGFS, and we were genuinely concerned for 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...

The preschool program is terrible & the admin does not care! These things happened in just 8 days of my child being there. I was told by 3 different staff members that would be able to stay with my 3 year old on his first day & get him acclimated because he has some attachment & sensory issues. On t...

July 2020 - I imagine for many parents it’s a very stressful time thinking about school for their kids. But honestly, when I think about our kids going back to NGFS (whenever that may be) the stress is minimized. I know that they will be safe and cared for - the same priorities that have always been...
