We have to move away and we are heartbroken because our son was so happy at Scarborough...He is slightly autistic and received tremendous attention, help and care there and made wonderful progress...The principal is attentive, available to parents, warm and dynamic and the same can be said of the whole staff including the teachers...Our son went to Kindergarten and 1st grade at Scarborough and his teachers were extremely competent and attentive...They also have great "specials" like art, music, PE, computer etc...A great, dynamic and warm environment for kids to grow and learn...We loved Scarborough and are going to miss it tremendously...
