Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I am very satisfied with the school community, programs and teachers. Also, there are a lot of after school opportunities for kids to do art, music, sports, etc. Prospective parents may also be interested in after 'school' programs for care, especially if both parents work.
Parent #2
Although parents are not encouraged to be in the classroom, they are welcome to observe through the one way mirrors any time. I have been delighted with the school and highly recommend it.
