Parents' Comments

Parent #1
It seemed very nice on the surface but their policies, philosophies and direction created a very bad environment for my children.

Parent #2
excellent program

Parent #3
No good acadamic program.No Social interaction.

Parent #4
no issues--very good school

Parent #5
The only strength of this school is their materials in the school and outwardly apprearance.

Parent #6
This is a family run school, which I really liked. I chose a Montessori school because of the emphasis on letting the student learn at their own pace with teacher encouragment. I also liked the attention placed on the child learning independence through cleaning up after themselves and getting their own snacks, etc. We have implemented many of these same principles at home with great success.

Parent #7
No weaknesses. And I do not say that lightly - I checked out about 10 schools before settling on this one and I knew it was right when I walked in - the owners of this school are very experienced and know what they are doing.

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
