What parents say
“You cannot even come close to the sincerity and warmth...Forrestal has to offer...the healthiest, safest and most wonderful place.”
“I feel Forrestal is still trying to work the kinks out...consistent teacher turnover...lack of respect with good teachers and poor communication to parents...the feel...is they care more about business and financials.”
“Everyone on the staff is incredibly kind and helpful and my son adores his teachers.”
“Micromanaged, long working hours, no benefits, no support! Very toxic work environment!”
