Love, love love this Preschool! My kids have been going here since they were babies and I can't say enough good things about them. They treat you like family and my kids always come home with projects or learning activities they did during the day. Margie the director is always there in the morning during drop off and she is very flexible with my crazy work schedule. Definitely recommend them 10000%!
If I could write a review and give zero stars I would for this school. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE. My child attend this school for less then a year and I had nothing but issues. My child was constantly bullied by older children and the adults did NOTHING about it. They tried to potty train my child without speaking to me about it. My child hated going to school and use to cry and carry on whenever I had to leave. They have too many kids in the school to take care of the needs of every child. My child was left in a dirty diaper on several occasions and would have a rash that lasted for over a week. Every time I spoke to the teacher or the owner about this they would always play the blame game. This school is the cheapest in town but you get what you pay for.
