Excellent and very well experienced. I am 28 years Old and Ms. Trudy taught me when I was a baby, she now cares for my daughter! I wouldn't have chosen any other place even if it was free! She is beyond EXPERIENCED and my daughter started speaking clear words and knew her numbers from 1-10 before she was 20months old.
