We love the extra-curricular activities that are offered through Abbott, in particular yoga and karate. Abbott gives the kids a chance to try new things/sports in a comfortable environment with their friends and to learn basic skills for future use.

My oldest son has had behavioral issues along the way (ADHD); the teachers and director have been very supportive in helping us to work through these issues with my son, and have given him a caring environment in which he's really thrived.
