Our son is recently in the kindergarten program at this Montessori and I can't say enough great things about our experience with the school. Our son went to a daycare program before going here and the experience was horrific. New management here was a true blessing for our family. The Director, teacher, and staff truly care about all of the children and put our minds at ease having our son there each day. Our son was truly able to flourish and was set with a really strong foundation for learning. Thank you to all the teachers and school directors that made it happen!
