We sent both of our kids there and it felt like "home" to them and us as parents as well. All permanent staff we encountered were professional, caring and kind throughout, the leadership by Methap and her senior team is exceptional and I can’t recall a single day my kids were unhappy to go. Nor can I recall a single time we picked up our kids and felt that something was amiss.
