Awesome learning environment for my child!! It takes a special teacher to spend time and actually TEACH my 2 yr old and Miss Breanna does just that. She is always smiling and patient with my daughter too. I love the director because she spends time with families and spends a lot of time getting to know us personally. My child has not been with many teachers but the ones I have met have all been great. I work at the hospital and always hear good things about the place. I love this place!!!
