I'm so happy that my daughter is attending Kids Corner. All the staff are really professionals. I so thankful with Ms Francesca to help my 41/2 years old girl, I can see the big change and progress. All the time she wants to help at home, making arts and crafts and teaching the little brother good manners. I can't wait to register my 31/2 years old boy this summer. I would recommend this place. I'm 100% satisfied and my child love it. :) Thanks!
