Redwood Day Post COVID
I am curious if anyone can speak to how Redwood Day has been post-pandemic. We are applying for the school and have heard incredible reviews and experiences from families there but would love to hear from other families -- the good, the potential downsides, and anything in between.
We are applying for Kindergarten.
Thanks!

Hello! Mom to an 8th grader at RDS here. Our child has been at RD since 6th grade, so we have experienced pre-Covid, the height of the pandemic, and now.
While I can’t speak to the lower school specifically, I can say w/o a shadow of a doubt that RDS handled the transition to on-line learning and then back to in-person learning **beautifully**. They have been incredibly transparent, careful, communicative, safe, and quite frankly, all around amazing. Each and every staff member there deserves a massive raise given ALL they have done for our community. I could not be more pleased, and know that the parents I know feel similarly. The only knock I’ve heard, and I honestly don’t feel it’s a knock as I’d rather be kept well informed, is that there has been too much communication from the school as we’ve navigated the uncertainty of the pandemic. But YMMV. It’s a wonderful place; welcome!
Hi there! we have a child at Redwood Day School and would be happy to chat briefly if that's helpful. Please reply via our username.
Thanks! Mark
I wouldn't necessarily say we're post-pandemic, but we've been thrilled with Redwood Day - both in regards to the school's response to COVID and more generally. The community of families is warm and down to earth, the teachers we've experienced have been dynamic and really in-tune with each kid, and our kid comes home each day excited to share what they've learned. The school's response to COVID has felt transparent, comprehensive, and safe. We really feel like we're in great hands with the Head of School, John. And our kid's classmates are on the whole kind and silly friends. Best of luck in making your decision!
