Parents' Comments
Parent #1
This school has been in business since 1952. Betty still appears weekly even though she has retired. The enrollment is filled mainly through word of mouth or parents that attended the school themselves. I have heard many parents say they have such fond memories of attending the school. The school has a great staff that seem to stay forever. Academics is based on The Frog Street Program. Learning is through the childrens play.
