Our child is in K and he absolutely loves it. The teachers are so wonderful and really show an interest in the kids. Our son is doing so well from all perspectives and may be going into an advanced class for next year They have recognized that he is a little ahead so they are already trying their best to encourage him and give him his own work. On the other side, there are children that are struggling and they also get that extra care. I could not be happier with our choice. Close Quote
