Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children: 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

I think it is a great idea to have separate play ares for the younger age groups. The director instantly recognizes issues with the play area nd continuously makes changes to suit the needs of the children.

My child has been going there since she was 3 months old and we have only had problems since the new director has been there.

Parent #3
Classroom furniture is shotty at best
