Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Most staff have college degrees in Early Childhood Development. This school is academic, but also stresses social development. Great play areas. On a quiet street.
Parent #2
The school is on a nice quiet street with big play ground. However, the school management and communication are poor. Some of the teachers are really mean to the children. They discipline the children by shouting at them.
Parent #3
Staff turn over rates are extemely high and staff seems unhappy.
