We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

At one time I could say Maureen Joy was one of the best but over the years I have notice that they stopped caring about kids. My daughter has been left by the bus alone serval times, this past time the bus driver did not drop off my child without check to see if any children were left behind. They refused to change the bus to ensure my child is safe because of the lack of concern for the school and the fact they really do not care if you are considered for you child's safety.

As a parent of a kindergartner, I love the small kindergarten class sizes (16) and the small community feel. My child is excited to go to school every day and constantly shares what he learns at school. The staff is diverse and represents the student body. We love our experience so far.
