What Parents Say
Grosse Pointe Nursery School receives mixed reviews. Three parents praise the excellent staff, loving environment, and strong curriculum. However, two parents report serious concerns about the school's handling of bullying and racial incidents, as well as inconsistent behavioral management and lack of follow-through on discipline strategies.
I am extremely disappointed with how this school handled a serious situation involving my daughter. She was bullied by another student who made racially inappropriate comments toward her. As a parent, that is heartbreaking and unacceptable — especially in a Pre-K environment where children should be taught kindness, inclusion, and respect. What concerns me even more than the incident itself is how the administration handled it. Instead of taking meaningful steps to address the behavior, ensure accountability, and protect my child, we were essentially told that if we were unhappy with how they handle situations, we could switch schools. There was no clear resolution, no reassurance that corrective action was being taken, and no demonstrated commitment to preventing this from happening again. Dismissing a family’s concerns about racism and bullying is not the standard of care any child deserves. I hope the school reevaluates how they address bullying and racial issues moving forward so that no other family has to experience what we did.
In no way was it a good experience. Our first child went there about 6 years ago and loved it w/ Ms. Whitten. Our second was treated as a problem child and we were told to get evaluations done on a 3 year old due to his "Non Compliance". They would constantly incorporate behavioral tools for the entire class and never follow through. When they did a reward system, one reward was a visit to the office to play w/ toys. A "punishment" was a visit to the office to be talked to. So good behavior and bad behavior was met with the same outcome. He moved on to another school after his 1 year there and thrived beyond anything both behaviorally and academically.
Gross Pointe Nursery is an excellent school! I absolutely love the staff...my daughter is learning a lot. I am very satisfied with her learning and experience process. She will be returning in the fall! :)
