I went to A B Seas as a child and I am an employee at A B Seas today. It is a wonderful center. The staff are all well trained and great with the kids, the center is clean, and the kids have a lot of fun. The preschool program is also wonderful. The preschool teacher, Ms. Maggie, is a licensed teacher, and she really makes sure that the children are ready for kindergarten.
