The teachers are wonderful. My daughter started attending the school when she was three when I felt her learning was stagnet at a home daycare. She has progressed very well. The school is kept clean. My daughter just turned 4 in December and she already knows her numbers and letters by site. She can recognize her name and is learning to write. They are also learning beginners spanish. The only thing that could be better is computer use.

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

Parents' Comments

They count giving the child time to adjust their behavior. If the child continues they are sent to the time-out/ self reflect area. Once in that area, they are told what action got them there, how it affected the learning and enjoyable environment.
