School Reviews

My child thrived at Dexter. He learned to phonics, writing and so much more. The teacher taught me how to help him at home, since he enrolled later in the school year. Dexter is amazing, the teachers are amazing, and I thought that the moment I walked into the school. I later found out, I was right! I hope that the foundation Dexter laid for my child continues on throughout his time in school and beyond.
