School Reviews
5 12/11/2012
I happen to stumble on this site and I have children that attend this program. The teachers really care about the students learning and focus on phonemic awareness, math, science, and art in a God-conscious setting. The professional experience and training of these educators impressed me greatly. I wanted a smaller setting and more one-to-one support for my children and the small group type tables enables the teacher to assist each student individually. It is a wonderful hidden gem in the community.
