Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Great preschool. Loving, caring, happy, kind and educated preschool teachers. Strengths are that the children are happy, safe, well cared for and taught in the way that they learn. Weaknesses I'm not sure, but perhaps they should get an email address. But, it's not a problem because they always talk with you.
Parent #2
This school is really good at helping children interact in a positive way with each other. All the teachers have a lot of experience and knowledge in how to teach children. I would recommend this preschool to anyone wanting the best for their child. I always felt good leaving my child with the wonderful, loving teachers.

Parents' Admission Tips
Advice from Parents to Prospective Parents on Admissions
Parent #1
Call back as they don't always answer the telephone if they are with the children. You can drop by the school, but an appointment is advised for the safety of the children.
Parent #2
I have not seen too many other schools with this type of program. It like preschool should be.
