Our family loves this school! We have 3 daughters and they all have attended here. They also offer dance and karate classes! Our oldest is 7 and is now in 2nd grade Advanced Placement classes and is on the 3rd grade Honor Roll! While her character and our parent involvement play an important role in her success it is her love of school and curiosity to learn that drives her. A child's first experience with school is so important. If it is positive, safe and stimulating they will crave more. By providing a nurturing, fun and academically stimulating environment they foster a positive learning experience from the start for which to build upon. They have been wonderful!
