Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Diverse enrollee and staff population; staff able to connect with children and families of diverse backgrounds; socioeconomic diversity; longevity of classroom staff is unrivaled (many have been with the center for more than 7 years; a few for 10+ years and one with nearly 20 years); open and communicative management; each child's situation and circumstances are handled in a sensitive and appropriate manner.

Parent #2
I enjoyed the dedication of the teachers and the diversity of the staff and children. It truly reflects the community.

Parent #3
The diversity of the staff and the students is the strength of the school. The curriculum is challenging and the children really seem to have fun. The teachers really get to know you children and bond with them. They have a full-time Childhood Development Specialist who observes all of the classrooms and performs individual screenings for the children, to identify any developmental problems or delays, and make early interventions. The parents form a cohesive and supportive community.
