My daughter Sophia is attending 4yr ECE at Traylor, and so we can only speak to that program and not the school overall. The teacher (Mrs Kaspersen) and her teaching assistant (Mrs. O'Brien) are absolutely delightful. They are so warm and welcoming. Mrs Kaspersen would stand by the door every day to greet each and every student as they come in. She always wears a smile on her face. We also know that their Preschool program ranks very high in the state. Hence, we'd highly recommend their ECE program! Close Quote
