The principal Mrs.Montalvo and the staff of P.S.106 are so wonderful. When I first meet the school it was in 1995 when my daughter was 5 years old now she a junior in college. I also have a son at school since 2005. My son has spacial needs. He has AHAD,ODD AND HAS BIPOLAR. When my son had a hard time in school with his behaver problem or school issues. Mrs.Montalvo and the staff went out of their way to see how they can help my child and thanks to that love and caring they have for children. My son is doing so much better in all his classes.In a why its going to be a sad day when my son graduate in 20010 cause heaven know if I find another school like this one. Close Quote
