This is such a wonderful school, and although I wasn't fortunate enough to attend here, it's been a huge part of my life! This school is literally the reason I moved back and live here, because it's the highest quality and least expensive I could hope to find! I mean telling my daughter lily she will miss school is a threat, she loves it so much!
