School Reviews

We love this school. My son was at the preschool during the 2020-2021 school year. He thrived there and the school was excellent at providing care for the children despite the challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. We enrolled our son again in the pre-kindergarten program and he loved going to school every single day. The teachers are wonderful, caring, and very attentive to the students' needs. School director Lisa Dowdrick is a very good point of contact if you are a parent looking to enroll your preschooler. Lisa is easy to talk to and very helpful. We highly recommend this school.
