Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Great school and program, curriculum. I am not entirely satisfied with my daughter's teacher. She is new to area and very young and quiet. I have seen other teachers at the school that seem much more outgoing and better with children.

Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Our daughter's teacher this year is a first-time preschool teacher. Her teacher last year at this school was fantastic 100%, and we miss her.
Parent #2
My daughter is 5 but missed the FISD cut-off to attend kindergarten so she is being prepped for kindergarten.
Parent #3
Teacher is young and doesn't give any feedback to the parent as to what the child did during the class, how child behaved, etc. She seems very shy and quiet, probably not a good match to teach four-year old children!

I am a bit of a 'germ' freak and this school puts me at ease when it comes to clealiness. I did also teach here for two weeks and was able to get an in-depth view at how things are handled and how children are treated and I can say without a doubt that this is truly a 'Christian Based' school and they do treat the children as gifts from God.
