Well...positive thoughts from the soul of deep construct...it just makes me happy to see individuals that care for children...a special kind of person to perform acts of kindness in a field that is rather delicate...the philosophy it takes for good ethics is sometimes surrounded by acts of negativity in society...well done...I only have two hands and a head that looks in both directions i think...
Can’t keep teachers. Kids come home with bite marks constantly. Glad we left there.
Excellent preschool, I was skeptial at first because I could not find any recent on line reviews however my grandson went for a visit and cried when he had to leave! My grandchildren love this place where the atmosphere is caring and joyful. It is owned by Dr. Beyers who has his degree in early childhood development so every aspect of the children's growth, socially as well as academically, is atended to. I really get a kick out of he imaginative craft projects they bring home. Finally, the preschool just celebrated 40 years of being in business which says something about the quality of nurturing and learning at B&B that has stood the test of time. Five stars out of five.
My son went here he had fun BUT he didn't learn anything. They keep the kids outside in the sand and heat all day with mosquitoes and flies. His clothes and shoes were full of sand everyday. They have the babies and kids outside no matter how cold it is and if your kid doesn't want to wear a jacket they just let them do what they want.
