My son has been attending Trinity for about a year now and we just recently left. He was in the daycare setting. I think it is important for families considering Trinity for daycare to understand you will be paying a premium price for glorified babysitters. I was surprised by how much I needed to encourage staff to begin working on potty training (over and over and over again to the point i simply started sending him in underwear to prompt it as he would do well at home with me when I had him go) and was surprised by how little they actually do in the "classroom". As a full time working family, unfortunately, any of my efforts at home are also dependent on similar consistent activities (i.e. potty training) being made at daycare to gain consistent and unprompted results. Despite not enrolling him in the even more expensive preschool classroom (as we attend full time) I had been assured he would be doing all the same things but with a bit less structure. Additionally, with my son not yet fully and consistently potty trained, this was not even have been an option. I had rarely received any art projects or been given anything indicating he was doing anything constructive. That said, with so many requirements made of a child upon Kindergarten preparation I no longer feel Trinity is the place for my child, as I had first hoped, to grow and learn what is expected of him and I am now moving him to a developmental preschool/childcare center where he will be able to learn what will be required of him. I will say the majority of the daycare providers were kind enough and I did not necessarily worry that my child would be neglected (although I have a number of concerns over the number of injuries my son sustained while in their care, which is a whole different conversation). There are many other problems I had with this school and despite discussing issues and expecting change, no change ever happened. I've learned that this is the culture of the school's daycare setting and as it is condoned I cannot truly expect change and it is futile to continue. It was in my child's best interest to move on to another setting that can better meet our goals and needs.
