What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, June 22, 2011

My daughter went to kindergarten there this year. She loved her teacher and the principal. The teachers are really friendly and caring. Even the teachers that don't have her say hi to her every morning. The principal takes a real hands-on approach with the kids and they love her. I don't ever remember going to school and really knowing the principal, but all the kids at this school do. This is a pretty big school, but it feels homey. Close Quote
