My son had alot of issues at another preschool. It was pretty tramatizing so I did alot of research for his next school. Whiz Kidz was the BEST decesion I've ever made for him. He's happy, independent, loves his school. I'm so so grateful for everything theyve done. Are they the fanciest, no. But are they the most caring, yes.
