Parents' Comments
Parent #1
This is a great preschool which has been in operation for many years, thus very organized and reliable. The teachers are wonderful, very attentive and energetic and nurturing.
Parent #2
This school is completely set up for households where both parents work. It is set-up as an all day program and does it really well. They do not take an excessive amount of vacation during the year -- which is really nice for working parents. The house environment is warm and the teachers are incredibly loving. The director, is always available if you've got questions about your child's development. I would highly recommend this for working parents.
