My son has gone to person since the day he turned 3y/o. The Pre-K teachers were amazing. His Kindergarten teach is awesome. The front office is fantastic and we love it there.

I agree with the other review except the new administrator is even worse than the last. The level of negligence is outrageous! Do not send your children here.
