My experience has been well. My daughter seems to enjoy the things she is learning at only 16 months old. She is breaking out of her shell. Thank you for all that you guys do.

The teachers are kind and gentle with the children. Communication is handled well. They get enough exercise each day. I like that they are teaching Spanish and life skills.

My child has thrived educationally and socially. I really appreciate when we walk down the hall after school and all the teachers know her name. It makes me feel comfortable that they are taking the time to care for, teach and know my child.

I like when I have questions or concerns they are addressed right away by my son’s teachers. I also enjoy getting pictures of my son during his week see what he is doing and learning. It lets me share it with family that aren’t as close by.
