Love this school!! I drive from out of town to take my son here. The dedicated staff goes above and beyond other day care centers. They started teaching my son to read at 3 years old. They have community officials ( police, fire, local doctors, museum representatives, clowns, magicians) come out for the children. Children are tested and prepped for kindergarten .Easy on a wallet as well, very affordable. Don't over look this school..
