This school is amazing. The staff is amazing, and they are very strict on safety and providing resources for parents who need anything. Ms Gomez has been such an amazing teacher to my son. My son is speech delayed and within these last couple of weeks, my son is speaking more sentences and bringing home what he learns at school to his little sister. The classroom size being small also helps so much because it gives the students in the classroom more time individually with the teacher. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL

I love this school! My daughter is in preschool and she wakes up at 4AM because she is so excited to come to school. She can tell me her numbers, shapes, colors, write and they are learning how to read. Today, she came home and told me they were making pudding in class to learn how to measure! She is four! Her teacher is the best preschool teacher. She dances, sings, plays and has a wonderful set of classmates. The parents are so welcoming and helpful. She attends our afterschool care program and she loves it! She works on her homework, plays, has a snack and makes crafts. I couldn't ask for a better place to send my child. It is also so affordable. This school is a blessing to me and my family.
