Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I would not recommend this school to other parents or providers. I am not going to comment on why.

Parent #2
my child went to this school they never fed him correctly when i asked why pantry was always empty i could never get a direct response

Parent #3
I love the small classroom size. My children attended the school and now my grandchildren attend. They even have the Montessori teacher they had. The Director and most of the teachers have been with the school for over 20+ years.

Parent #4
I do not recommend this school to other parents, they are always short staffed and never do anything that is posted on the calendars. This school says that they offer a hot meal when in reality they go months without getting groceries and most of the time serve the children leftovers. Many children have left due to this and many more things. I suggest that you do your research before you inroll your child in such a school.
