Director's Comments
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
Our teachers have already acquired a degree or are going to college to attain onel.
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The school is great, staff and administration are great! My child loves going there and asks me even on the weekend if she's going to school. The director and her staff are very friendly and helpful.
Parent #2
The staff have been great with my children, supportive and caring and an essential part of accomplishing potty training. Unfortunately from our experience the administration is not so great. It is my opinion that her demeanor and attitude are truly the failure of the facility. In my opinion if a different administration were managing the facility with the current staff, it would be a great place to have your child.
