My son just started here on Monday and he LOVES it.  He has had a great time - with them bringing in Rita's ice and a bouncy castle for them to play on - he looks forward to going in the morning. I was impressed with the open classroom arrangement and the friendly staff greeting us in the morning - even teachers that are not my son's teacher greeting him.
