The info isn't quite right on this page so don't let that deter you from looking into MMS further. Care from 6 weeks to school age, state licensing requirement ratio- higher grades are 10:1. We started with MMS four months prior to the Covid pandemic. Every day leading up to the pandemic, and since, has been nothing short of a great experience. Their teachers are passionate and you can tell they are strongly supported. Our son has grown tremendously and we would recommend to anyone.
