I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I sent my son,to Gan Ami for the last two years. He and I absolutely loved it! Every week he came home with a new song, a beautiful art project and would tell me how much he loved his Morah's (Teachers).
The staff was very accommodating if i was running late to work and because Gan Ami isn't a big place, i really think he got the attention he needed.
I really felt like i can trust the teachers which is good for any mother. I plan to send my daughter Michali to Morah Penina's classroom in the fall
Five stars!

If I could give a zero I would. My son went this past year. There was not 1 week when we did not have complaints. SEND YOUR CHILD ELSEWHERE. Gan Ami is a nightmare.
