About the Provider

Description: We provide an outstanding opportunity for your child to learn how to learn, to discover new interests and abilities, and to grow as an individual. Our degreed and certified teachers encourage academic, social, and emotional development in an atmosphere where learning is to be enjoyed. As we bridge the gap from home to school, we guide children during their learning experiences, enhancing their feelings of self-worth, empowering them to learn, and ensuring their future school success. Upon Pre-K Graduation many of our children are reading, writing, adding, and subtracting. We have found that our graduating students who have been with us for more than 2 years are performing at one to three years above their chronological age in information processing modality development, visual-motor integration, and language skills. This scenario has been a repeated outcome for our graduates for fourteen years. The majority of our past graduates are reading at one to three levels above their current grade placement in the public schools. Our graduates are usually placed in accelerated classes upon school entrance or are extremely successful throughout their school age years.

Our son had developed allergies and we wanted to eliminate milk products for a week or two to see if the problem resolved.  I'm a Registered Nurse and I was astonished that we met such resistance.  To our surprise Dr. Sonja was more worried about not getting reimbursed for the USDA meal plan than she was about our son's health.  Very very uncomfortable situation.  We really wasn't planning on our request being a big deal.  But Wow!!  We found Dr. Sonja very difficult to talk to from the get go.  And forget about speaking about concerns after business hours.  Dr. Sonja said she couldn't speak to us because it was her anniversary and she needed to get home to feed her mother.  Not sure why our request to stop giving our son milk should have taken more than a couple of minutes.  Bottom line.....We found the owners (Dr. Sonja and her husband) both to be very very cold and a bit strange personalities.
