Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Main weakness is lack of parental involvement and organized communication with the parents. They are pretty short staffed this year. The main teachers however are wonderful, and loving and the head teacher Karen is a wealth of information and knowledge and a joy to work with.
Parent #2
The attention and care given to each child is wonderful! The teachers are loving and patient with tons of experience. The low staff/teacher turnover is impressive. The director is active in the classroom and as a result is not the best when it comes to administrative stuff. The school offers both full and part-time schedules. The school teams up with Tuff Tumblers to offer a tumbling class once a week for an additional fee.
Parent #3
A teacher's own children were in the same class as my daughter. On rare occasions I felt that that affected how she disciplined my child when they were squabbles between them. Her children will be going to Kindergarten in the fall, however.
