School Reviews
5 4/8/2022
This is a fantastic school. My son has thrived since coming to this school a few months ago. His Spanish is improving, as well as his motor skills with drawing and pre-writing. He brings home the best art projects. The daily pictures and videos show how excited he is to be there and how much he is concentrating on his work. I love that the school also offers a mini-festival on one Saturday each month. We love this school and he's definitely staying for elementary school.
