My daughter goes to this school since she is 2.
Now she is 3 and half and we never had a problem with the staff. The teachers are skilled and gives attention to detail. They give utmost care and the kids love their teachers.
My daughter wants to go to school on saturdays and Sunday's and that itself speaks how much she likes her shcool.
The flip side is most of the teachers and Kids are South Korean and they tend to speak korean. But south korean teachers are said to be nation builders and this is very much true.
