This is local preschool has been making waves for a while now. I'm starting to see National publications pick up the story as well like Jezebel and Gawker.
It's been so long since I had a kid in any kind of daycare or pre-k.
I'm sure Caitlyn could relate some stories.

The director is mad that the parents want to talk to each other? And she thinks that she can dictate whether or not they speak with their children's teachers?
Something's not right and it looks like it's the director from here.
Who sends their child to a former models school? You should have to have early education credentials to open a pre school. DH and I met a couple who was going to "unschool" their kid. F that.
I think the director overstepped her boundaries by writing that letter, but I think the parents overstepped by insisting on interrogating the admin and terminated employees. If they want to have the fired teachers over for a party, so be it. But you don't invite the people that fired them, too. It's none of the parents' business why the teachers were let go. They don't need to set up a pissing match to find out.
If I were the director, a simple "I am sorry, I will be unable to attend" would suffice.
I think she was nuts to send that letter to parents, however, she makes SOME good points. As the director, she has the right to fire teachers. Of course, people have the right to invite anyone they want to their home. I'm curious if the contract says parents can't socialize with the teachers? But if they have been fired, they are no longer teachers?

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
I was lucky to find a great daycare for DS2. It was a small center, one room per age, and set in the middle of a retirement community. The residents regularly interacted with the kids, and both groups benefited.

The director made a great stand though - we run this daycare, not the teachers and not the parents; you have the choice to go elsewhere. I love the backbone and wish that more people had it.
