I have used this provider for less than 6 months
I love the school, the curriculum, and teachers but one of the directors Dawn is extremely fake. During the tour she gave us she was nice and accomdating but as soon as we saw her after handing over our credit card information it was a totally different experience. If it wasn't for the school being as wonderful as it is, I would have taken my child out of there.
