My three children have had an amazing experience at DDS! The faculty and staff do an incredible job of creating a warm, welcoming environment for children to learn and grow. The country campus is beautiful and is a perfect backdrop for all of the wonderful activities and learning that happens outside whenever possible. My kids have made wonderful friends and enjoy going to school each day!
