My son began in Owl's Nest Pre-K at Lovett and is in Kindergarten this year. We have been very pleased with the teachers, facilities, staff, student diversity, extra-curricular offerings, and community feel of the school. We purchased our home knowing we were zoned here, and plan to send all three of our children to Lovett. Close Quote
