I have worked here for over 30 years. The owners are the most giving and caring people you could ever meet. The office staff are very supportive of the staff. The teachers get along great. The kids are loved and cared for. I have put both of my own kids, two nephews, a cousin, and niece through this school. This place is a great place to work and to have your kids.
