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.

Yates is an amazing school. The staff is awesome and treat us more like family. My daughter has certain issues and they have been amazing how they treat her and all kids. I strongly recommend this school to all parents. They are all extremely sweet and friendly.
