Parent #2
It's a creative school. The rythm of the day flows and the ability of the teachers to redirect children in to postive behavior is fantastic. The way the children way they learn buiilds confidence in their own ideas and ability to bring them to life in a thoughtful way. I love having my son going here and he really treats his friends with great care and joy. The ambience and special occasions create memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
The school is a school of creative arts. They have many activities that are open ended activities. There are also led activities. Counting, alphabet, and lessons are taught but not in the same way every day... Sometime playdough becomes the letter A.. Or they sing ABC's too the piano... What they learn become ingrained into their brain.. but with out the stress of learning.. just fun.

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
What is nice about Bara Hambright is she will take each childs situation and work with what will work best with that child. That includes every aspect of the school.. She does not expect each child to fit into the same mold of learning.

OVERALL RATING (5.0) Five Stars
Parents' Opinions
Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children: are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
She provides your children with a lunchkit which your child brings to school everyday. It must have only healthy food in it. No cookies, or sugary foods are allowed.. which is nice if you don't want your kids eating that stuff and seeing other kids eat that stuff.. so they are all eating helathy stuff provided by home
