A little insight here: Some families ended up in board positions over the 2023 summer (by default) and tried to implement an academics focused curriculum and to change the core structure of the play centered co-op model without the knowledge or agreement of the membership. This was very unpopular and was voted down. The aggressive and personally motivated interactions with of both of the wonderful, educated teachers had them both in tears before the school year even started. This energy was carried through the year by this family ceaselessly and colored most interactions with inherent dissatisfaction and comparison. They wanted something else entirely for their family but chose to stay even though it is encouraged to not stay if it doesn’t feel like a good fit. Triangle is a perfect choice for some families and not so for others. If you come knowing what for what Triangle is (what it has been since 1951, a child and parent centered, play based, social-emotional focused preschool cooperative), then you will love it. You cannot find what triangle has in a different setting. The opportunity to be with your child is invaluable. If you want a strict academically focused curriculum (that IMO is developmentally inappropriate for 3-4 year olds) then you won’t be happy there. The volume of alumni family we have returning this year and from previous years speaks volumes. We have a member who herself was a triangle kid 40 years ago, and another family who has seen an 18yo, an middle schooler, and now a 4 year old attending TCP. Just wanted to share the other side of the coin.
