My kids love Tucson Community School. One is enrolled in a preschool class and she is looking forward to kindergarten. I personally like how their classes are structured in a classic, old style way. Blocks, playhouses, puzzles and such focus more on the play and imagination of the kids and not so much in technology and things that may take away from basic development. I strongly recommend TCS.
