About the Provider
It seems impossible that we have reached the middle of September but here we are! This week was another great week at KES. Thank you to all the parents who attended the curriculum nights this week. I hope you left feeling informed about your child's instructional program and with a sense that this is going to be a great year at KES. If you could not attend either of these nights please know that we are here to answer any questions and that you are always welcome to set up a time to come meet with us.
