We had our 3 year old son there. It was a fantastic experience, where we (and he) felt very supported. Excellent environment. Daily reliable communication with the staff. We saw clear positive improvement in our son in so many different aspects of development. Absolutely recommend. It was very sad that we had to move somewhere else.
