Parents' Comments
Parent #1
After a bumpy start, the Garden House has quickly become just what we hoped. The incredible teachers are dedicated, committed, and loving. My daughter looks forward to going to school, comes home proudly with great art projects, and is obviously learning a great deal of French. She sings French songs to me and even corrects my pronunciation! What more could a parent hope for? The director is personable and passionate and has obviously worked very hard to get this up and running and to keep making it better and better.
