My daughter attended this school from Pre-K in the Children's House through Grade 2 in the Elementary House. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the learning and nurturing provided at this school. My daughter, who is now in the 5th grade still speaks fondly of her time here. She got a great start to her learning journey here, and I would highly recommend this school!
