All of the administrative staff and K teacher Mrs Haley have been extraordinary with our child. She has special circumstances that require some extra kindness and understanding. Not only are her academic needs met but her emotional needs as well.

My son loves going to school. At first it was not something he wanted because he was shy due to his English (we are coming back after being in Brazil for 5 years) but since his first day of school he is loving it. He is still learning the vocabulary but already made friends. Now as for me I love the method of teaching they use with the students and how they are careful with them.

I do like the security check in process. Staff is always helpful. The school structure is working out great for my child. We had a horrible experience with another school. My child is excited about going to school, loves the teacher and classmates.

My preschooler absolutely loves going to his new school. His first day, drop off was terrible due to his prior experiences of other centers. When I picked him up from daycare that first day, he told me how much fun he had and about his “nice teachers”. He says his teachers aren’t angry, and his room isn’t dirty like his old school. Every day since, he walks right into the center and his classroom without any issues. I’m never walking into chaos at drop off or pick up, it’s very nice seeing the teachers having calm control over their classrooms. Beyond thankful to have my kids in a place where I know they’re being loved and cared for!
