I have used this website to look for a lot of schools along with great schools. I saw a lot of great reviews here and checked it out. The staff is wonderful and the school feels truly like a community. But of course, you should check it out for yourself. They encourage you to drop you child off for a day to see if he or she fits in which no one else allowed.
