Education is NOT their focus if you consider doing art as education. My daughter was supposed to be transitioned to the next classroom months ago and she is stagnant due to over capacity. I pay $1100/month and she has regressed in terms of what she learns on a day to day basis. I do love her teachers and the facility is very safe. But if I am paying all of this money, then I feel she should be learning. There is no formal cirriculum for the school and the teachers are supposedly board certified but to me they are just glorified baby sitters.
