Breaking Up is Hard to Do

So today I turned in my withdrawal letter to P and Isaac's preschool so they could attend school closer to home. I think it has upset P's teacher especially since an "incident" happened last week the same day I got the phone call that space was available at the new place.
Part of the reason we are leaving the old school is bc the director and teachers tend to be passive aggressive when they have a problem with a parent. For example, they were unhappy about the way carpool was going so they sent out this crazy letter with a page long list of instructions and what "NOT" to do. Some grumpy old grandma type got in my face in front of my kids about the new rules before I even had a chance to read them. Then last week for once I got my act together and was a little bit early instead of last minute and went inside to drop the kids. When I was getting Isaac settled, P went down the hall to her classroom where her teacher locked the door and sent her back down the hall. When I took her back, they would not even answer the door to tell me I was too early, they just ignored us in the hallway. I had to ask the director why that happened. I could see if I was a habitual offender but I'm not. I felt like it was uncalled-for. They should have talked to me and at least explained to Polly why she couldn't go in her room or at least taken her back pack from her or something instead of just locking her out.

Re: Breaking Up is Hard to Do
IMO it sounds like the timing was perfect, with the most recent incidents and from how they handle parents in general. Doesn't sound professional to me at all. And to just lock the door and ignore the child AND the parent, to me that's just flat out rude. It takes all of 2 seconds to say "we are so happy to see you today, but you're a little early we are still getting ready for the day" or whatever the rules are.
Good luck with the place!

They are going to Dacula FUMC. I took P last week on Friday and she really gelled well with the class and jumped in after the teacher encouraged her. I had to drag her away. I explained what happened at the other school and the director told me that they will talk to parents if the rules are broken and made it clear what the "allowed" dropoff times are and how they liked the mornings to go. I was very upset with the way the situation was handled at the old school due to the fact that I LOVE P's teacher. She is a pretty special lady. She is very non-confrontational so I can see why she may have handled the situation the way she did but I just don't understand them not talking to me about it, even after the fact (like, sorry about the other morning, I needed to get stuff together and you were super early)! I can tell P's teacher is extremely upset that she is leaving but I don't want to make it worse by telling her that situation was the one that broke the camel's back.
The other reasons we are switching is the distance is much better, my ILs will be more agreeable to getting P when Isaac is napping (5 minutes vs 20+), 4 days for P vs 3, and the possibility of Isaac having 3 day 2s, and just generally a better fit. It was crazy driving so much and that is probably the main reason. I am sure that the new place is going to be a headache about the car pool, too. Preschools generally are.
