Unfortunately this schoolnis not helping my child. She is getting progressively worse and it's because of the behaviors she is learning from the other students. Keep you child away from the school if you are smart!

Terrible. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. In my opinion, based on my experience with this school, it is an unsafe environment. They care more about protecting their staff than the safety of the children they serve. They did more harm to my child than they did good, causing irreparable damage. Sta...
