I've had my 7 year-old enrolled at Beta for the first year. It was the best decision I've made for my daughter's education. Her teachers are so engaged. They have early morning reading with another teacher and what's called, whole-brain teaching throughout the day. We feel so fortunate to have made it into Beta! Thank you! Close Quote
