My daughter loves the school. She is able to spend time with friends and get all of that good energy out playing.
Enrolled Family
Awesome school, all staff are very nice and nurturing. I love what the teachers are doing with curriculum.
Enrolled Family
I was greeted very well with a tour and met the teacher. As a first time mom and one who have already had bad experiences with a childcare facility, I was very concerned. I wanted to trust. As I was talking to the director and staff and seeing the smiling faces of parents and kids around the facility, I was relieved. My baby was about four months entering the school. She seemed happy when picked up.
...
As she grew to one year old, she still seem happy and she waves goodbye to all who smiles at her. Even some older children tells her bye and she acknowledges them. The staff seems to listen to me and calms my anxiety down as I am a first time mom. So, I am more than happy to have my son (I’m pregnant with my son now) to go to the school with his older sister. I’m looking forward with my future with this school.
