The teachers that she has had are great. I never had a problem with them just the administration.
Discipline, Health and Safety

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' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The facility is very good. The teachers are friendly. But at times I feel that my kid is learning only at home. Not much in the school. My kid is not potty trained yet, we gave our kid some training at home. I have found my kid in soiled diaper while picking up. They also do not wipe it properly. The fees is too high for the service they provide.
Parent #2
The school is very clean but I feel safety is an issue and they have favorites. I had to take my child out of the only environment she knew due to them not handling a child's physical abuse towards my child.
