Great school! My children love being at school and I have peace of mind knowing they are safe. Also, with small classes, they get so much one on one time with the teacher! I highly recommend this school!

My children ages 5 and 9 yo both attend this school. My 9 yo daughter has been there for 4 years. I have consistently been impressed with the quality of the curriculum and compassion of the teachers. It is nice that dance and gymnastics and music are all incorporated into the curriculum. It is a safe, small, protected environment where each child is given the attention, love, and moral(spiritual) guidance that he or she needs. Dr. Jay and the rest of the staff truly have a heart for God and all of his children. I would highly recommend Little Country School.
