School Reviews
5 This is the third year my child has attended this pre-school and we could not be happier! Mrs. Payan offers high quality academics with individualized attention, music and art lessons, field trips, and a backyard eden with playground and garden. Highly highly recommended! - Posted by Parent - AS |
5 Terrific neighborhood school for our kids -- enriching activities, caring teachers with lessons in multiple languages (Spanish, French), a real hidden gem in Coconut Grove - Posted by Parent - TS |
5 I had my 5yr old son attend Ms. Payan's school all summer camp. I was thrilled at the personalized attention that he received. He came home every day singing new songs and excited about what he was learning. Ms. Payan helped to work on his discipline and how well he played with others. It was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend this school! - Posted by Parent - super |
