Warning to Parents: I wish I could give this place zero stars. There is clearly something being hidden in the background at this school. Teachers seem to be in constant battle for help from the administrators who do nothing. They lied to me about incidents regarding my son and could not keep their story straights when I questioned. In the end my son no longer attend this school and he was traumatized by the experience. I would not recommend. For the price you pay you can put your kid in full private school with smaller class size, more individual attention and an honest administration who will not cover up their issues with staff in lies. I feel bad for these teachers they are paid very little and their class sizes are far to large for the younger groups. The directors will lie and sell you to get you in the door and will tell you they address your concerns but do not. Save your money this place is a joke.
