Yu Ying has been absolutely wonderful for my two young children. The staff are so loving and I trust them. The fact that they are in a Mandarin immersion school just puts them over the top. Admin is open to feedback and regularly engages with families with upcoming changes, challenges and opportunities. They have a beautiful new campus for prek3-K.
