Parents' Comments

Parent #1
I hav've had 2 kids attend R.H. and am very please with thier progress. My 9 year old has always tested above grade level and I attribute it to her pre-school years at R.H. My 4 year old is learning at an unbelievably very fast pace thanks to R.H. as well.

Parent #2
The teachers have a great relationship with students. They know them so well and I have witnessed it myself that they are usually a step ahead of the conflict.

Parent #3
The staff has a very high turnover and those that are there are unequipped to handle children and their issues. They give daily homework to the small children that is age inappropriate. Do yourself a favor, if you need quality care for your child take your changes anywhere else.

Parent #4
Although there is no specific curriculum that I know they follow, my daughters have learned quite a bit at an early age compared to other children their own age. I like the "character building" part of the school philosophy.

Parent #5
The staff has a very high turnover. They give daily homework to the small children that is age inappropriate. Do yourself a favor, if you need quality care for your child take your changes anywhere else.
