Director's Comments
We encourage our parents to bring their child to school at least once prior to their start date so that they can be familiar with the environment.
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
This is an art-based school where the emphasis is on children learning how to develop relationships with other children and teachers. Although there are set times when they eat, if a child is hungry they can eat anytime. The kids here are well-loved and taken care of in a genuine way. There are no computers here and kids engage in song and play throughout the day. Children love it here as do the parents.
Parent #2
School does not provide a easy way for parents to connect with other parents. No notes/schedule is sent home with child. All notes are posted on wall. No written information is given to parents as to what is happening in classroom/school.
Drop-in Policy
- During school parents are welcomed as the school has an open door policy
