Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The staff is really attentive towards the children. My child is happy to attend school and he loves his teachers and classmates. I find that their teaching methods really work for my child has applied skills he learned at school in life (discipline, listening, sitting still, etc.).
Parent #2
my daughter was severely injured on her third day at this school. they have done nothing about it. they did not follow their schedule, did not report the accident and had basically just chaos going on.
Parent #3
Unlike other schools I tried and/or visited, we liked Balboa Preschool as soon as we walked in the door and we recognized that by and large the children seemed happy.

On My Own
We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach
