Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Great preschool teacher. My daughter loves this school.

Parent #2
I have had several problems with the school that were not addressed by staff as well as other parents. The bathrooms are often broken and staff often rotates. Basically I dont know who is going to be in my childs classroom each day. Out of the student teachers I can only talk to one about my childs progress. The spanish program is no longer in place. Pretty much the only good thing about this school is the location and facility.

Parent #3
Strengths: Warm atmosphere, experienced administrators. My daughter has had excellent lead teachers in each of her classrooms, and I really like the social interaction in the classroom - students are kind to one another, teachers are very knowledgeable about how to avoid conflict and about how to help students navigate a conflict when one arises. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are included in the price of tuition. Older preschool and Kindergarten classes take field trips to area attractions. The school seems to have a lot of resources for art projects and other activities, and the classrooms are well-maintained with equipment in good order.
Weaknesses: High staff turnover among the assisting teachers (not surprising, as most are college students and the work is probably not well-paying).
