Saturday, September 10, 2011

I was a little intimidated by the size of the whole Shen campus, but my son started at Tesago in Kindergarten & now he is going into 1st & he couldn't be happier. His teacher was so great, you could just see the bond she had with all the children in the class & that she truly loved her job. There were always 2 or 3 aides in the class to assist the teacher, I never felt like any child was being left out of classroom activities. Our son's speech therapy teacher was excellent also, I saw drastic changes within the first 6 mo. This is just a great school! Close Quote
