I really appreciate the varied activities throughout the week (dancing, computer class, Spanish, outdoor class) along with the Montessori curriculum that is offered. My son has learned so much in just the 5 months he has been attending so far and I can see his progress via the online parent portal. Staff are wonderful and care a lot about the students and the school offers lots of activities to get parents involved. I am looking forward to seeing the growth in my son next school year.
