What a Great Preschool! My son looks forward to going here. After the first few days, he never cried again. He talks about what he did today and talks well of his teachers. I have met the staff and owner and they are professional and pleasant people. The teachers are genuine and love children. The children have their day planned out everyday. The facility is secure and one has to enter a key code to enter the facility.
