School Reviews

Actually, I am a grandparent. Our granddaughter, 4 years old, is and has been attending pre-kindergarten this year. She is a happy little girl and loves her teachers. If she was not happy and learning all she needs to learn, she would not have been accepted into the new school she will be attending this coming school year. I can only hope and pray her new school is as good for her as this one has been. We highly recommend this school.

I am so happy I found the perfect place for my infant. They take great care of him and as a first time mom it is comforting to know that I can go to work knowing that he will be loved and is safe in my absence.
