Pelican Place has inconsistent and troubling discipline practices along with an uncaring and unresponsive staff. For example, if a child misbehaves at school, he or she will be sent home regardless of the circumstances. This practice is not outlined in the school’s discipline policy and not covered during the orientation process. Most educators will agree that sending a child home for minor discipline infractions reinforces negative behaviors and refuses the child’s right to an education.
The staff at Pelican Place is extremely unresponsive to parent requests for information and input. In one attempt to address this issue, the director of the school berated a parent and threatened to call the parent’s “commander” because he serves in the military. This came after the same parent called everyday for a week with no returned calls.
Another parent reported being denied access to observe her child during class by a member of the staff. She was told she would need permission from the director who never returned her calls for access. Four children’s parents have removed their children from the 18-person school from September 2013 to November 2013 because of issues concerning the staff and the discipline policy.
This concerning pattern does not speak well to the quality of curriculum, facilities or staff at Pelican Place. Parents should reconsider enrolling their child at this school and explore other educational or day care options.
