The children are rarely supervised, and the teacher to student ratio is deplorable! There is a rampant bullying issue that never seems to be addressed, even though they SAY there is a no tolerance policy on bullying. Almost no help at all with special education needs unless your child is severely handicapped. Horrible experience with this school thus far. The only advantage is that the staff is friendly, and they offer many after school programs and camps. This school is more of a glorified daycare facility. I wouldn't recommend it! Close Quote
