My 3 children have attended northside and they have learned so much by being there.. all though one certain preschool teacher i wont mention no name wanted to call me and my husband constantly about my daughter about an issue that was resolved with her dr. until we withdrew her from preschool (which i hate that i had to because m daughter was learning so much) because it wasnt worth taking her then having to turn right around to come back and get her.. but other than this incedent the learning center is great... they could do without this one teacher though... thanks
