I love this school. I enrolled my son when they first opened, now I've enrolled my daughter. The facilities are clean, the rooms are bright, and the activities are engaging. They have a fun music program, and lots of outdoor time. We love Mrs. Soto and Mrs. Lee! (The tuition is a little bit pricey, though).
