School Reviews
5 8/12/2018
My twins attended NGA when it was TruPeace Learning Center in Fayette County. They enjoyed the program so much, it was tough getting them to leave in the afternoons. Ms. Lee is like a big sister to all the kids (My kids called her teacher-momma) :) . She not only teaches them, she provides financial literacy, and character development classes to prepare kids to be effective in the world.
