  • My child has attended for almost a year now. I loved the school when we first began but am now looking to move him. While I think the staff is warm and friendly, I don't think they are as stimulating as my child needs and the program is not challenging anymore. They have a set, rigid schedule which some children strive in. If your child needs a little more creativity then this may not be the place for your family.
