School Reviews
5 5/17/2016
I have recommended this school to everyone. I have two boys (5yo and 2 1/2yo), both of whom have attended the school year-round since they were 2 months old. In general, I think the staff is both loving and well-qualified. As I believe would happen in any school, there have been teachers with whom I disagreed or decisions that I did not support. However, in every instance, the administration was responsive to my concerns, enabled me to express reservations, allowed me to observe videos of what happened in the classroom, provided me with suggestions of what we can do at home to help, and even tailored responses to my child's individualized needs. When my older son was repeatedly acting out in class, the school allowed my mother (a retired teacher) to observe a live video feed for an afternoon. In particular, Mr. Daniel, Ms. Pamona, and Ms. Shuti have been very communicative about questions regarding my children. My children have become verbal, confident, well-socialized, responsive, and are more than prepared to move on to elementary school. Knowing what I know now, I would still make the same education decision for my children again and again.
