Director's Comments

Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?


We are a christian preschool, not a day care. The children arrive at 9:30 and are picked up at 12:30.

Parent #1
The size of classrooms are great (10 students to 1 teacher). The parents of the school value strong relationships with eachother outside of the school. Playdates occur frequently with many families.

Parent #2
I have no weaknesses to list. I love this school.
