What Parents Say
4 reviews from parents
I started taking my kids here 2 years ago. I love this place. I even volunteer and I used to sit on there committee board for parents. You will not be sorry for enrolling your kids. They will only have your kids school ready but above average. My son has a disability and his nurses were able to come in and out the center with no problems. Your kids are safe and they also have cameras in every room and in the hallways.
