The Play School is exactly what a preschool should be.  Our son is in his second year at this school, and my husband and I are so grateful to have found it (through a friend who sent her daughter there and raved about it).  The teachers are incredible.  My husband and I can not get over their genuine interest in our son and each child at the school.  We continue to be amazed by how attentive and truly enthusiastic each teacher is towards the kids.  You can really see how much they each love their job.  Our son (who was on the shy side) can not wait to go to school and comes home talking about everything he's learned (i.e. numbers, letter writing, cutting with scissors, fire safety, animals, cooperation, sharing, etc.).  The curriculum is very impressive and focused on preparing the children for kindergarten in a warm and supportive environment.  I can not imagine our son (or our youger son) going anywhere else for their first school experience.
